 Advertisements [?]all you have to do is:

1. Hold your breath until you turn blue on election day
2. Don't support the Democratic nominee
3. Don't work to see that we get a Democrat -- any Democrat -- into the White House
4. Hang on to all your money and don't donate
5. Trash the nominee as much as you can
6. Take the "Well, let's just see how "electable" he/she is without me" attitude
7. Don't convince everyone you know that the fascists coup is almost complete.

If a Republican takes the White House in November, you can say goodbye to:

o Roe v. Wade
o Voting rights
o Social Security
o Medicare
o Medicaid
o Welfare
o Gay rights
o Unemployment insurance
o Environmental protections
o Worker safety
o Worker rights
o Minimum wage
o Unions
o Quality public education
o Community colleges
o What's left of the Constitution
o National parks
o Water (they are working hard to privatize all water supplies and delivery, so you will have to pay through the nose)
o Religious freedom -- more importantly, the right not to be religious
o Veterans benefits
o Privacy
o The right to seek redress through the courts
o and others too numerous to mention

There has been a fascist coup brewing in the US since Prescott Bush tried to install himself as a dictator in 1934. His grandson has brought that coup almost to completion. If we don't do something to stop it now, our window of opportunity will be shut, and we will never overturn the fascist bastards without some serious bloodshed.

4. This needs to be shouted from the rooftops...   
 Nobody has said it more plainly, or more clearly...

There is so damn much riding on our getting a Democrat into the White House, not just this time, but many times...

What an exaggerator nichomachus is. I've seen McCain's platform and he's only planning to destroy a little more than have of those things... for the good of the American people I might add. Once again the libs are voting against their own best interests. That whole clean air thingy is highly overrated and so is a college education as most libs can attest to. Who needs an education when you've got good dope around. Remember, Free Wheelin' Franklin sez "Dope will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no dope.

[Rebel]

Voting rights you say? Like the ones in Michigan and Florida?

Social Security? Good! It's a sorryass pyramid scheme. My father is now trying to get disability because he can't work. He had a triple bypass and is now on 3-day, 4-hour a day Dialysis and he's a diabetic. Thank GOD he's not a fruitbat lib and actually planned for his own retirement. He's been waiting to hear something for 2 months. They said it could take up to 3. If he's told yes, then he has to wait ANOTHER 3 to start receiving his checks. He can do that. Can any of you DUmbass idiots?

Medicare? Read above.

Medicaid? It SHOULD be seriously looked at. The people that can work need to get off their lazy asses and work.

Welfare? Read above.

Gay rights? What gay rights? What f'n rights do I have that they don't? Ok, I have no problem with civil unions. Marriage? **** off.

Unemployment insurance? Dream on.

Environmental protections? EPA was signed into law BY a Republican dipshit.

Worker safety? OSHA as well.

Worker rights? What would those be?

Minimum wage? It should be gone. The government shouldn't be in the business of mediating a contract between an employer and an employee.

Unions? Not a problem. Half of'em are the reason we're so ****ed up. Kids are dumber because of the NEA and towns around Detroit and elsewhere are empty cesspools now because of unions.

Quality public education? Is that what you call it? Riiggghhhtttt.t. Educational standards have been decreasing for years.

Community colleges? How? What the hell does the fed have to do with state schools of higher learning?

What's left of the Constitution? What's left? Name what was taken, dipshit.

National parks? Which ones? As for a ton of the land, it should go back to private citizens.

Water (they are working hard to privatize all water supplies and delivery, so you will have to pay through the nose)? Water is controlled by counties, at least here. Again, you're talking out of your ass.

Religious freedom -- more importantly, the right not to be religious? Huh? You idiots have been attacking this for years, STARTING with that bitch Madelaine O'Hare.

Veterans benefits? Blow smoke up someone else's ass. We're not stupid. We know who is friendly to the services.

Privacy? What, privacy for shady people in this country making international calls to terrorists?

The right to seek redress through the courts? I'm thinking you're referring to Tort Reform. All for it.

and others too numerous to mention? Oh no, keep going. I only need about 5 more to prove you're not just an idiot, but a complete and total fool.

ALWAYS remember that the democrat party is the party of FEAR, not the republicans.

Thanks DUmbass for proving that for the 6,524,896,257th time.

Not until just now.

Shame he didn't pull it off, ain't it. We probably could have shipped all the FDR democrats to Russia and avoided the whole WW2 thingy.

Granted, they're still better than the GOP.

27. Actually, it IS likely McCain will end up being elected, but what I meant was
 all the fanatically optimistic predictions I keep seeing here vis a vis the Congress would certainly indicate, if realized, a fairly easy way to block inappropriate SC nominees. Hell, we managed to derail Harriet Miers even with Chimp squatting in our WH.

BLOCK BLOCK BLOCK and then whine when nothing gets done.

33. But nichomachus says a good nominee will still be blocked by the Repugs
 Edited on Wed May-07-08 04:29 PM by coriolis
and a bad one will be supported by the wimp Dems. I see no way to win that kind of game.


edit: "good" and "bad" meant for us and presumably for America

For you and the rest of you ****ing socialists, you mean.

5. even the NYT gets it--see the editorial this morning 
 Editorial
It’s About the White House


Like many Americans, we have been intrigued and often exasperated by the long-running Democratic primary and the ever smaller-bore spats between Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. So we are thankful to Senator John McCain for reminding us Tuesday what this year’s presidential race really is about.



On a day when Mr. Obama won a decisive victory in North Carolina and Mrs. Clinton eked out a win in Indiana, Mr. McCain spoke about his judicial philosophy. He is determined to move a far too conservative and far too activist Supreme Court and federal judiciary even further and more actively to the right.

Mr. McCain predictably criticized liberal judges, vowed strict adherence to the Founders’ views and promised to appoint more judges in the mold of Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito. That is just what the country does not need.

Since President Bush chose Justices Roberts and Alito, the Court has ordered Seattle and Louisville to scrap voluntary school integration, protected employers who illegally mistreat their workers, and constrained women’s right to choose and voters’ right to vote.

Mr. McCain did not mention, of course, how the Roberts-led Court blithely overruled Congress by nullifying a key part of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law. He did wax nostalgic about what “the basic right of property” has meant “since the founding of America.” (He did not mention that in 1789 many women could not own property and African-Americans were property, but he did criticize the idea that values evolve over time.)

15. If NONE Of These Things Happened When The Republithuglikans....
 OMG!!

The Sky is Falling!

THE SKY IS FALLING!!

Not one of these things happened during the time the Republikans held the White House and BOTH houses of Congress.

It is little more than fear-mongering to suggest that all these things will go away in the next 4 years.

 I see tombstones in this DUmmie's future...

18. Excuse me -- but a lot of these are already seriously damaged
 They have chipped away at SS and Medicare, privacy is on the ropes, most of the Constitution is in shreds, they have been sucking money out of federal, state and local governments so fast that most cities, towns, and states are decimating public services. I hate to be the one to break it to you, but the sky is falling. If you don't see that, you're just not paying attention.


And, it's possible that the GOP, it if gets in, will be in for 12 years. McCain won't finish his first term -- probably not even the first two years. That means his VP will be president for two-plus years and will be able to run for two more terms.

29. I think it's still in progress. It began
 in 1934, went underground during the war, and then resurfaced with the Mid-'60s Massacre of JFK, RFK, MLK. It's been a slow motion coup since then. The SCOTUS decision was another step, and, as you point out, a major one.

On a bad day, I could agree with you, but I'm hoping that we've still got enough room to reverse things before we go over the falls entirely.

I'm hopeful because it's difficult for me to leave the country, which I would have already done had my situation been different.

I have one friend who has already escaped and another who moves out three weeks from tomorrow. I can't leave for a lot of reasons, but may reconsider that if McCain were to get in.

any bets nicodeamus thinks Bush and Co are lizards?

[DixieBelle]

Who knew the president was so powerful!!!! Bring it on! King McCain will ruin your lives DUmmies.

God, they are so stupid!
