3. It's the American people using their brains and refusing to be taken in
by the likes of Karl Rove and his propaganda machine anymore.

6. It has nothing to do with "brains" and we risk perpetual irrelevance...

...if we keep thinking that way. See this thread, 12 Traps for Progressives to Avoid:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=2867398&mesg_id=2867398

8. The "Misunderestimating" Trap

Too many progressives think that people who vote conservative are just stupid, especially those who vote against their economic self-interest. Progressives believe that we only have to tell them the real economic facts, and they will change the way they vote. The reality is that those who vote conservative have their reasons, and we had better understand them. Conservative populism is cultural--not economic--in nature. Conservative populists see themselves as oppressed by elitist liberals who look down their noses at them, when they are just ordinary, moral, right-thinking folks. They see liberals as trying to impose an immoral "political correctness" on them, and they are angry about it.

Progressives also paint conservative leaders as incompetent and not very smart, based on a misunderstanding of the conservative agenda. This results from looking at conservative goals through progressive values. Looking at conservative goals through conservative values yields insight and shows just how effective conservatives really are.

12. Well, they opened their eyes to the sight of a corrupt GOP and broke trust
with Bush for quite some time, now - so I think they are collectively not in the MOOD to be manipulated by Rovian spin.

Sure we can be mindful that it won't be permanent and not let up on the media and the election fraud issues - but, I am applauding the American people overall, today, because overall, they are rejecting the hORSESHIT that the GOPs have been trying to pull this whole past year.

18. Exactly
I have pretty much quit trying to ese reason with pukes.Everything I say to them has highly negative,punch in the gut type emotive connotations.Tat seems to be the only type of argument that gets through to them.

Words like TRAITOR
CRIMINALS
FASCISTS
WAR CRIMINALS
UN-AMERICAN


and my newest PERVERTS AND PEDOPHILES.




Words the conservatives think they own.

13. don't count your chickens
til they hatch, hopefully the chicken hawks will be on the run soon, but they will be evn more despicable as they become more desperate. Our democracy does not COUNT- not fully or fairly.
Get togather make plans for taking ACTION before, druing or after the next elelction fraud, make at leat contingency plans, Don't just wait for it to happen again. www.worldcantwait.net Ann Wright was discussing her tenative plans to be in WDC for the election and ready to ???? I don't know actually, probably get arrested again.

16. Sounds like the
KARMA TRAIN to me :)

Sure hope it morphs into the PEACE TRAIN, eh?

I actually think that it in reality sounds more like hundreds of Republicans all FLOODING their DEPENDS at the same time :)

22. The sound of a poop deluge?

30. LOL!
Yeah, we CHASED the guy during the Primaries and Filmed it, all the way to the elevators in the Building while Kerry was celebrating - that's the film short where I added the "Bad Boys" theme song from COPS on tv :)

I still think they are Flooding their Depends, they wear them so they can feel more at home with a pants load while spewing the same :)

Thanks! I admire your posts a lot

17. Nah!
It's the collective sound of DUers popping popcorn, settling into their recliners and watching the newest entertainment...

...we can have some fun with the latest scandal, as long as we don't get too complacent.

24. I'm not as hopeful as you...but one has to have hope...I heard it...but
I've heard it before and been disappointed..

Never give them an "inch" because they will "take a mile." My grandmother drilled that into my head. :shrug:

26. Only Diebold can save them now. Americans have caught on.
The Republicans in my family have all turned against Bush and their own party. I'm talking about life-long die-hard Republicans.

KoKo01, only by theft can they stop what is happening.

I hope that we will be welcoming those that come our way from the other side and not judgemental. I know you feel the same way.

Have a great weekend.
