Things must be getting better, I talked to a die hard repub who previously

only sung praises for Bush. That was way back in Oct 2004, fast forward to April 2005 and he now says he voted for the lesser of two evils. He says now that he doesn't like Bush personally, he hates the corporate interests running our government. How anyone could believe that Kerry is a worse evil than Bush just makes my head hurt, but oh well.

Libertarians are coming out of the woodworks on the Ole Miss campus, lots of formly self identifed repubs are now calling themselves libertarian. They are slowly distancing themselves from Bush, I know that some here will be mad that they aren't doing it sooner, but we have to be patient. Hopefully the repubs will Naderize themselves and we'll get even more house and senate seats.

Slowly but surely, one by one, people are being to ask questions, people are beginning to point fingers in the right direction.

It takes time and dedication but we have to keep going, we have to keep fighting.

Start registering people to vote in 2006, start telling people to listen to Air America Radio, tell people to go to dailykos and Salon, tell them to get their news online from the BBC or the guardian, mainly just international news, tell them to watch the Daily Show, tell them that we must have an auditable paper trail with our voting, tell them to sign petitions, to call the folks on Capital Hill # 202 224 3121. Just keep talking, keep working, don't give up.

I love you guys, you are my heros and time after time voices of reason. Thanks again DU!

Thanks to the mods and thanks to Skinner for giving us Democratic Underground.

Oooooooooooh, I second that emotion!

It has been an otherwise dreary day in a string of dreary days. The news from all fronts seems really depressing.

But your message brings a bit of hope. :hug:

And thanks to DU, indeed! :thumbsup:

Everything, everything you said is just right exactly on and made my heart sing. I see it here too. We are making progress bringing America back to its senses. For once I really do feel, United we stand! Stand up for the truth, stand for justice, stand against bullshit propaganda, wake our brothers and sisters up to a new day.
Aloha noooooooooo!

(=much much aloha)

Mahalo!

that's really a big change.

and so is Bush's poll numbers. We just might get out of this nightmare yet.

And we need good news.

And thanks to Skinner, Elad, and EarlG mnanaging to stay sane in the chaos that sometimes envelops DU; you all are apprieciated.
