Just wanted to get an early start. šŸ˜ƒ I was gonna put this in MPSIMS but I figured it would draw some hostile replies and be Pit-bound soon enough anyway. Besides I wanted to say FUCK Bush/Chaney! November is gonna be a happy happy time as they spiral down trailing smoke and debris.!! ::insert Woogie Guthrie song here:: Chortle chortle! he heh heh. šŸ˜› ---

Good grief. Look, I want, I need, I hope, I long for a Bush defeat in November, but itā€™s not a sure thing at all (in fact, I have my personal doubts that it will happen). I listen to a conservative disc jockey in the ams, who espouses the party line day after day, - not only does he gloss over the entire situation in IRaq, asserting that to question the war, Bush, et al means that we ā€˜donā€™t support the troops, God bless themā€™. ANd heā€™s got a following - a large one, many of whom call in, damn near ditto/mega dittoing him. the very last thing we should be doing at this point is a victory dance. ---

Iā€™m worried too. I donā€™t think there is anything this administration wouldnā€™t too to stay in power. Iā€™m not one for conspiracy theories, but they are sure to have more dirty tricks to pull (look for an orange alert during the Democratic national convention). ---

I ainā€™t doing any victory dances until the corpse of the Bush-Cheney Administration is buried, beheaded, staked, sprinkled with holy water, burned, and the ashes scattered to the four winds. After all that, then Iā€™ll take a junket to Vegas. Dancing can commence when I return. šŸ™‚ ---

Iā€™m not one for conspiracy theories, but they are sure to have more dirty tricks to pull (look for an orange alert during the Democratic national convention). Iā€™m with you. I hope everyone keeps an especially watchful eye on any place thatā€™s using electronic voting, the very thought of which creeps me to the bones. Maybe groups from other countries should be brought in to watch the polling places, especially in Florida. We do it in other countries, now we need it. I do not trust the Republican party. I do not trust concervatives. I do not trust right-wingers. ---

I take that back. I trust concervatives. Itā€™s Conservatives I donā€™t trust. Concervatives are pretty upstanding folks, honest and fair. Thatā€™s why they had to change the spelling, to disassociate themselves. :smack: ---

Geez. WAY too early for a victory dance. Kerryā€™s victory is so far from assured that itā€™s, uhā€¦ in doubt. In fact, celebrating too early could cause problems. I still remember in 2000 Rush Limbaugh coming on some TV news program and predicting that Bush would win in a landslide. I wondered if this prediction had caused many conservatives to stay home, assured of their victory, thus helping to make the election too close for comfort. I live in a pretty conservative area of a pretty conservative state, and I know Bush has lots of support from people and places like this. My parents are both intelligent people, and theyā€™re both going to vote for Bush. Bush actually has lots of smart people supporting him, not to mention the hoardes of dummies whoā€™ll be heading to the polls on election day. Iā€™ll be voting for Kerry, but my vote doesnā€™t really matter since Bushā€™s victory is assured here in Texas (thanks a lot, electoral collegeā€¦). ---
