Yesterday I talked with several "possibles"...people who were previous canvassed as being Repugnican or booosh supporters who now call themselves "Independent" or are showing negative feelings towards this regime. Lots of issues work into this...Iraq, the economy, illegal immigration...and I find it very fascinating to talk with these people and see where their mindset is. Many have found reasons to vote against Repugnicans, but yet have found a reason to vote FOR a Democrat...but reaching out and communicating with them shows interest...unlike being taken for granted as they were as being Repugnicans.
Being in suburban Chicago, the "Miami 7" story was a big deal here, but not for the reasons this regime had hoped. First, its becoming clear that this "terrorist" cell is the gang that can't shoot straight, and the fact a government agent claimed he was playing "Al Queda" smells like entrapment. Also, several I talked to laughed at how flimsy the case was...and little to no details...the relationship to the phony "Skittle Color" terror alerts of 2004 are ringing to with many...and the Chicken Little mentality of the corporate media is also very suspect. How convenient it was that Dick Chenny wasn't just in town, but stumping for the Repugnican in this district the day this story came down...and it didn't miss attention by many of the people I talked to. Instead of distracting from the crimes this regime is committing, it's showing the political nature...and overall selfishness and incompetence of this regime.
People are more concerned with why it costs $3 a gallon for gas or why funding to their local schools or health care has been cut...things they really feel. Granted there are those who this ploy works...but the ongoing lying and abuse of power this regime is whats on display here. Now for Democrats to bridge the gap...answer the questions about the real issues and debunk the lies and distortions.
