8. He said something like,
"It won't change anything and Bush will be officially declared the winner tomorrow" It was spoken in a kind of smarmy tone.

30. Thank you, thank you for this bit of the report... I really don't believe
MSM is evil. They have seriously, seriously lost their way & abdicated their responsibility and all that -- true enough. They are just as susceptible to feeling powerless as are we.

POWER TO ALL THE PEOPLE!

44. IndyOp, the MSM IS the republican party. No difference between
the MSM and RNC....all the same buddies. All the same right wing activists. Our MSM is composed of NOTHING but right wing republikkklan activists who have taken over our airwaves.

And, yes, they ARE evil.

27. It was kind of a memorial to Matsui
It was a good speech though. Kind of saying that America is great because of our ability to take the higher ground above political party.
Not his words exactly. Maybe there is someone else that can fill in. Made me feel like he was kind of reprimanding the repubs.

18. SOOOOO condescending!!!
What a jerk!! He said word on the hill was that Boxer was seriously considering but "don't worry - Bush will still be elected Pres." I wanted to throw something at the TV!!!! He totally dismissed Conyers et all as just Liberal Dems who will claim the election was stolen...and will have one more chance to voice that opinion...

If this stupid report wouldn't make EVERY Dem Senator stand up - I don't know what would!!!

the point is...we are finally getting some press time. I'll take it...I can't tell you how many of my friends say..."why hasn't it been on the news?"---they don't get it...now, maybe they will. At least they are nervous enough to air it!! I think that is a good sign! Keep the faith!

62. I hear a that few days ago ...
A personal observation on that note:

Not one Senator will admit to their constituents that they will stand until they actually do it.

There are some things that it is better for them not to announce their position on until they make it completely public.

In August '03 I was told by a JK insider that Feinstein would endorse JK in Sept '03. I had recently sent her letter asking her to. A few days after I was told she would, I received a reply from her stating she was not endorsing anyone at this time. I knew better. She endorsed JK when I was told she would.

So keep calling and keep emailing... there will be some who will stand up. I know this because someone I trust past that along to me.

41. Caution...possible trap - don't ever trust FOX NBC CNN ABC CBS
They may 'know' that no Senator is going to do anything - they hype it up...and the Senators don't do it...then the cpn's (corporate Propaganda networks) can then make fun of Dems and can claim for the nest four years that the U.S. Senators all agreed.

Why get elated...learn to see through the CPN's - they are partners with the right wing - IN TOTAL. And because of their participation in the election fraud - they are ACCOMPLICES along with Mitofsky and the other pollster.

Caustion!

How would they know? Maybe because the cabal already fixed things against us, but they're going to turn it around and make us look really bad for four years or four decades.

We are on proverbial fence. Don't float. Just think about what has to be done on Jan 7 - no matter which way the vote comes out. Like send your buckets of American patriotic tears to the Dem Senators, then get to work.

I'm glad to hear it, but I can't help but think of the David Bowie song "Man Who Sold the World" in relation to all of this...

I hope that tomorrow is a significant day for our cause, and that Barbara Boxer will not stand alone in the Senate -- if she, in fact, stands at all.

47. FREEPERS believe BOXER will contest, Whole Thread in FREEPERVILLE
Check out the Posters who want Gov. Arnold to redistrict so Boxer will lose her "safe" seat (I kid you not). This is why I hate visiting Freeperville. I feel bad making fun of the mentally challenged. But not too bad. They could have paid attention during Social Studies during their Public School Educations.

48. We are all a part of and are now witnessing a movement of
HISTORIC PROPORTIONS!!! Be proud that your voices have been loud, steady and determined! I believe that hope and lots of hard work has made many people in our democracy stand up and fight for what is right!
THIS IS OUR COUNTRY!!! NOONE WILL FIGHT FOR IT IF WE DO NOT!!! I will never stop fighting for truth and justice. I will fight until I draw my last breath if I have to...I believe in modeling behavior that the young adults in our country will aspire to! They are watching all of us closely right now...lets be role models that embrace honor, integrity and courage! There are good people in this country that are willing to stand up --protect and defend our constitution!
