DON'T BELIEVE THE MEDIA PEOPLE!!!
I have NOT endorsed any candidate (YET) but have noticed ONE thing that is VERY important....

ALL the talking heads are making it seem that there is a "fringe" to the Dem party and THEY say it is US.

BULLSHIT!!!

WE are no longer the fringe! The Anti-War movement is alive and well and the LEFT will control our Dem Candidate!!

it WILL happen.

mark this thread.

WHATEVER happens, a "Pro-War" ---- "NON APOLOGETIC" candidate has NO chance in THIS election.

we are out there. we are pissed. WE WILL WIN!

stick to your guns people and don't give up. "THEY" want us to move "Repuke-Light"

*I* wont do it. NEITHER WILL YOU!

VIVA LA REVOLUTION!!!!

9. And peace to you as well.
Now that's the way you are supposed to disagree with someone on this board. With cleverness and with humor. You don't have to be mean or use a chainsaw to stake out your alternative view of the universe. Nicely done matcom. I respect you for that.

21. Well, again, peace to you as well.
I was paying you a complement. Nevermind. And it's okay if you and I disagree on the value of the DLC. Believe it or not, without the middle, the left will never enjoy a majority again.

10. Fringe? Don't think so
Those 'focus groups' that went out to protest against Bush* and his war were made up of everyday citizens. Hardly the fringe. I don't know what the ratio is between those who went out to protest and those who supported but did not or could not protest is - but I'm betting that ratio is pretty damn high.

4. Let me add something--'cause I've been wanting to scream it for a
couple weeks. When all the the "ace media" people began to do their stories on WMD lies, Nuke lies, the bog down in Iraq, etc., I wanted to scream: HEY FUCK HEADS, THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WAS SAID IN PLACES LIKE THE DU SINCE LAST SUMMER AS THE BASTARD STARTED ALL THIS WAR TALK AND YOU FUCK HEADS SAID WE WERE THE LUNATIC FRINGE. Well there was nothing lunatic about it since it was not based on "tinfoil" hat thinking. It was based on logic that a goddamn third grader could figure out. Are those pathetic bastards so bad off that they believed that a nice, contrived, "for the fall" presentation about nukes about to blow all our butts off, etc. was REAL??----for Christ's sake. They are the fucking Lunatics...and pretty goddamn dumb ones. If they got their mouths off of Bush'd dick long enough, they might actually be able to think.

17. actually
my 60 year old mother, who wouldn't be caught dead at a protest, and goes to classical music concerts...ect... you get the picture... totally agrees with Starpass, (she'd skip the profanity, though she's quite mature enough to handle it).

25. Tonight at a Newseum/Nat'l Press Club forum on Iraq & WMD
Margaret Carlson excused the press not asking questions *before* the war by claiming that as reporters they had to report what other people were saying, and that the Dems weren't asking the quesions. It was pathetic and sickening. (Not that anyone expects much from MC.)Sure there were divisions among the Dems, but plenty of voices got ignored--and not only ours.

(The panel is worth watching though--the audience was terrific, and Joe Wilson and a guy from Carnegie were excellent--it'll be repeated a few times tonight on c-span)

28. The only coverage Robert Byrd got was on DU and Buzzflash.....he asked
the questions and gave wonderful speeches for hours and days on end on the floor of the Senate about why we should not invade Iraq. Where were the whore press.

They lie their butts off......and they better believe they are going to answer for it in some way or the other some day.

11. What if they cheat ?????
They own the voting machines. If they can cheat once, they can continue until the cows come home. We need to expose them before we go along with their, I'll say it again...their..system of voting. Are the candidates talking about the voting system? We, the people need to find out just what is going on, before we take part in their little schemes.

23. Weren't you just complaining about how stoopid we all were about BBV?
Edited on Mon Aug-04-03 07:07 PM by Generic Other
We rubbed off on you, I guess. A lot like a stepping in dogshit to walk through the fringes, eh?

Put my name down Matcom. I am not ashamed to distance myself as far to the left as I can get from Bush and all his minions even the ones on this thread.

on edit: typos

14. Call up my brother and tell him this....
This is what I tried to impress upon his lala land head last night. I sit here in the belly of the automotive industry with a lot of pissed off auto workers, blue and white collar, who will vote strictly for an anti war candidate. One who is not afraid to stand against the waves. And yet our local Fox channel tells me how pro Bush my town is. BSBSBSBSBSBSBSBSBSBSBSBSBSBSBS!!!! It's time to stop chewing the cud, talk to each other and get the REAL word out!

16. I can't help but remember the MILLIONS of protesters
who were in the streets protesting that damn invasion. The problem as "I" see it is, they're scared shitless! They saw the protesters too and they know damn good and well that the anti-war force is a formidable one.......they're talking crap to the masses who don't have a brain...you know, the ones who LOVE the shrub.....I think they're running scared. Think of all of those MILLIONS of protesters and then throw in the anti-war people who DIDN"T go to the streets, like me, my parents, my sister, my brother, my niece, and some of my friends! THAT is a lot of people! I'm sure a lot of DUers know people who were anti-war and didn't protest. In fact, just this morning I saw a report about Hillary running in 2008. The F******* repukes want to change the fundraising rules AFTER the 2004 election, of course, because they fear Hillary raising more money than the shrub will raise for this next election, which is projected to be over $200,000,000.00! I hate repukes! They suck!

30. Ten million people the world over organize and march
for a common cause...if that's a lunatic fringe then we all should be proud to be lunatics.

Unlike the Ann Coulters of the world, of course, who are perfectly sane.

24. I just watched "The Quiet American"
We have the internet now. I think these things will be less and less likely to happen again, or at least without notice. On the other hand watched the Public tv Watergate documentary. We had a real press back then.
