GIVE 'EM HELL, KERRY!
Edited on Wed Mar-03-04 02:40 PM by NightTrain
OK, so he wasn't my first choice for the nomination. But now that he's going up against Bush, I'll do everything I can to help John Kerry become our next president.

So, who's with me? :kick:

22. A great image.
Kerry should do a whistle stop rail tour waving one of those "DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN" newspapers.

46. True, but...
He is now considered one of the most effective populist presidents in history. Also, most americans associate that headline with the power of the underdog, not with an unpopular presidency.

And OK, maybe Kerry shouldn't wave the headline, but the train tour would still be a HUGE visual symbol; espescially if he makes speeches from the rear platform about the struggles of the American workers who built the tracks and cars.

6. Not my first choice either
However, he's my number one choice now. He'll need our spiritual assistance as well as financial as the hateful, disgusting operatives of the right wing will bludgeon him daily. I have every confidence the rove machine will explode before it brings down Lieutenant Kerry. Too bad for rove - Kerry has been in a tussle before.

10. Unfortunately, I can't give Kerry my financial assistance.

I barely have enough money to cover my bills each month. However, I thought I might take Election Day off from my job and spend it driving shut-ins to and from the polls. Hey, It'll help to increase voter turnout. And the Democrats always seem to do well when the turnout is higher.

Remember 1992? 86% turnout and Clinton was in, baby! :thumbsup:

26. Great idea!
Cash donations are not the only way to help. Volunteer for GOTV drives, to work a phone bank, or distribute literature. We need to remove * by any means necessary.

7. no choice
at all.

Must vote for Kerry, or not at all. Not at all is not an option given Bush's fascistic leanings. M vote will be for Kerry, but more against Bush. I hate being in this position, really.

23. It is the way I have survived this long in my life
Edited on Wed Mar-03-04 03:54 PM by Marianne
asking me to compromise on that will only cause me to avoid voting at all. I am forced to vote for Kerry. Period.

In the end, all one really has is one's own integrity. The end is when you are on your death bed, reviewing your life and the decisions you made. You can live with immoral compromise, maybe. but I cannot and will not.

Thanks

30. Oh spare me.
You will have just as much moral compromise as me do contemplate on your death bed. The question is whether you will admit to it or not.

12. I said here in GD a year ago that Kerry would be our man
If ya'll listened to me then you could've avoided all the consternation I've been reading here the last few months.

It comes down to this fact in 2004. Although Dean and the others have qualities you like in a leader, the fact is we need that Vietnam vet status that Kerry has to unseat Bush. With Kerry in, the Bush cabal cannot claim Kerry has no relevant knowledge in national defense which is the 'biggie' issue outside of our economic problems.

Cheers

20. Donated first thing this AM.
If he opens an HQ in Houston, I will volunteer. I don't think he will because Texas is a Repuglikan basket case, but things change. I know plenty of vocal Bushies who have recently converted to "moderatism."

Wasn't my first pick, but now that he's the man, I'm looking forward to doing my small part in the Liberation of America with John Kerry leading the way.

36. Question: Does your screen name reflect your taste in music?

Just curious. After all, when I mention "Job Opening" by the Del-Larks to most people, I get only a blank stare! :)

Kerry was the lowest of the major candidates on my preference list, but I am a good Democrat and I will support him with vigor because I hate Bush so much. My opinion of Kerry has jumped 1000% since Super Tuesday.

32. Kerry is our man, which means...
Karl Rove has been unleashed to make his war on the electorate.

I will do anything and everything in my power to resist the dark forces of Rove.

Even though I had reservations about Kerry, division only serves the purposes of evil...

Kerry was not my first choice (or my second) but he will make an infinitely better President than Jr. so I will ENTHUSIASTICALLY support Kerry 100%. I will donate money and time to the campaign. And I will be DC on Jan 20th 2005 to watch him be sworn in as President of the United States (and to boo Chimpy.)

I am going to advocate to all my Green Party to vote for Kerry. Check out his voting record on Environmental issues. We cannot afford the Bushco assult on the Environment,our Civil Liberties and of course their attack on the Middle Class, Working Poor and the Poor.

49. GIVE 'EM THE TRUTH!
"We're going to give them the truth, and they'll think it's hell." - - President Harry S Truman

Once the average American discovers the truth behind George W Bush, there will be little need for TV advertising.
