know about it. What would he do, come tell the freepers not to listen, he has a secret message to pass on to all the real dems? A lot of people here are abandoning hope simply because Kerry hasn't come out and said he's going to get the skunks. I don't think he will until there is enough ground swell on this to make it feasible. Dem2theMax has some good thoughts on this here:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=203&topic_id=32469#32477And suppose Kerry IS just off hiding somewhere doning NOTHING (which really doesn't seem in character). What should we be doing then? Why, exactly the same thing most of us are doing now. People with statistics and research skills are crunching numbers as fast as they can. The rest of us are making sure the issue eventually breaks through to the media. Writing, emailing, faxing, calling, protesting, signing, anything we can think of so that the media will simply have to report what is happening as it becomes apparent to millions and millions of Americans that something is up.
NH is a great start in this process. The captive media will have to mention this, even if just as a curious aside. They may bury it, hidden by Fallujah, but it will still make a lot of people wonder what is going on. If we can keep this momentum going, we may yet save democracy.
And that is the ultimate point, whether Kerry is doing something stealthy of not (and why not continue in that hope, there isn't anything to contradict it). WE need to stop the theft for the future of our country and the world. WE have the power to make them pay attention. And who knows, even if Kerry is off licking his wounds (again, that theory just doesn't seem in character), if WE bring enough energy and attention to the election tampering issue, he may be forced to step up to bat. I suspect he's already winding up for one hell of a drive.
There have been a lot of people here at DU lately posting doom and gloom messages. "we are abandoned" "all is lost" etc. Think about this for a minute. We know that the repugs would like nothing better than for us to feel whipped. They not only don't want us to fight THIS election, they definitely don't want us to fight the machines. Their plans for the future fascist imperium are based on the machines.
One reason that a Kerry stealth plan would have to be very, very...stealthy, is that political campaigns are full of spies. Even people fairly high up may not be all they say they are. And that goes for here too. We know that at least 2 people who had posted here for a long time "unveiled" last week. Don't doubt that more didn't break cover. Sometimes in a war, the enemy will sacrifice a few spies to make a group think they are all gone.
KKKarl would like nothing better than for us to abandon hope, abandon our efforts to find and spread the truth. He wants us demoralized, depressed, and deactivated. I can't know whether the people spreading loss of hope are KKKarl operatives, sympathizers, or simply foolish. What I do know is that the message of demotivation fits his desires, no matter who spreads it. Don't be sucked in.
