Break their back, crush their spirits

See, here's the deal -- we're going to win the White House, we're going to win big in the Senate, and we're going to rack up big gains in the House. Republicans know this and are preparing for the worst. Now think of 2004 -- we really thought Kerry was going to pull it off. Remember that? And remember how utterly devastated we were when Bush pulled it off? The pain was so much worse because we expected to win.

So with conservatives bracing for the worse, they won't experience the kind of pain we did. Not unless we deliver a defeat even worse than their worst nightmares. And I'll be honest with you -- I want them to hurt as much as we did. I want their spirits crushed, their backs broken.

So the way we do that is we deliver a defeat worse than they every imagined. We do that by winning states that have no business turning Blue -- like North Carolina, Georgia, Indiana, and so on -- states that were easy Bush victories in 2004. We do that by electing a 60-seat supermajority in the Senate.

3. Amen!
They will hurt more than we did, because their hatred will boil over eat them up alive. I am hoping they destroy themselves. I can not wait until Nov 5th and I am fully confident the Dems will steamroll right over this country. The more states we get the better. We may even get Alaska! Georgia is in my wildest dreams, and yes, we, can!!!!!

4. It's Close in Indiana!
http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080918/NEWS0502/809180460/1324/NEWS0502

Been red for 44 years! But the republic party, Limbaugh called the Democratic party the Democrat party this morning....again, in Lake County with a large black population has halted voter satellite polling places BECUZ???? The only place to vote early is in the country seat town....a good hour's round trip drive for many, for the present. They used the satellites in a primary but the repukes are pushing a technically to keep them closed for the ge. Typical.

5. Then you are not a Democrat
Directing wrath on those of a differing political bent is hatred no matter how you
felt about losing in 2004. Getting a solid governmental set of policies in place that
help all Americans is the democratic goal...not making anyone suffer.

6. What about a cup of sweet Schadenfreude?
Is that acceptable?

13. You know what? I don't really give a fuck.
I will be as much of a Democrat laughing in the faces of the people you deserve it as I would for those who need a helping hand. After eight years of demonization (twelve really, with the control of Congress back in '94) by the right, I have no pity, and I will not hold back. Fuck 'em. Fuck 'em sideways with a broken bottle, and may they all DIAF.

7. Don't get your hopes up
There is a very large factor in this election.... 95% of the vote will never be seen by human counters.

Yep, the only thing counting 95% of the vote will be nameless, faceless vote counting machines. The Borg. They assimilated our votes in 2004, and there's nothing to stop them again. Or is there?

11. Thank you
Most times all I get is some stupid argument that comes from having their heads buried deep in the sand. I started a thread on all this in the Election Reform forum, if you care to see.

10. I'm expecting very modest gains in Congress. Shockingly modest gains.
People who are expecting the Democrats to pick up a lot of seats in the House and the Senate may have polling to back them up, but I don't think they're factoring in the level of election fraud that will be in play.
