Exactly--a LANDSLIDE!! This will prove that people really are paying
attention. "Safe" state or not, they can still write in another candidate.
And that's just another vote for bu$h too.
We have to dissuade any patriot from voting for any other candidate but
Kerry, no matter how we feel--unfortunately--to get RID of this
corrupt-beyond-belief administration.
It HAS to be that way--again, unfortunately.

You mentioned you were for Dean or Clark.
I was for Kucinich. Not Kerry at all.
I think all fought differently and bravely, and I am So proud of Dennis
Kucinich for keeping his word (as he always has, strange for a politician,
eh?) and pulling out just before the DNC, after having done so much work (as
other runners-up did as well) to make the Dem platform stronger. I was a
strong supporter, his ideals are carrying over to the Kerry camp, and the
Dem platform is looking at his Dept of Peace plan! (Wowie Zowie, folks--a
DOP!)
The Party has also accepted alot from Dean and Clark as well.

YES! We need a landslide to show the people want change. And I think we all
do, even many GOPs--in secret of course--but there HAS to be republicons who
are dissatisfied with bush.
However, there is a tendency in this country to keep the incumbent when
there is a war on. But...THIS war...well, I don't need to tell you how
different this war is and how angry it makes me. What I want to communicate
is, we DO have to have a landslide in order to prove to ourselves--and the
world--that America IS strong and IS for the people, by the people (not
'buy' the people!) and of the people.
It IS so very important this time.
We don't like how Bush has tarnished our reputation overseas AND here at
home, taken away our civil liberties, spent the billions Clinton surplussed
in the 1st 100 days (before 9/11, recall;) messed up healthcare and medicare
and has no problem with outsourcing jobs, but won't let folks buy their Rx's
in Canada, where its cheaper. Hmm...there's so much more and I don't wanna
write a book!

*Anthony also had this to say:

>Extreme Left in France joined together to >give a loud and
> resounding victory to the moderate Chirac >over the right-wing LePen in
2001

*Now 'America' "hates" France!
"Ne war pas!" parlez-voused Chirac--and we got "Freedom Fries" and even
Toast out of the deal! And O'Reilley 'leading a ban' on French products and
keeping track, take a look at our special screen showing with how much in
percentages French imports are down, taking all the "credit"--what a thing
to take credit for! There is no 'credit' in that, only vindictiveness in
BO'R's case.
(See, I did it again--I'm just so passionate about this stuff.)

Yes, if the 'Naderites' would pull the scales from their eyes and spot the
glitter in Ralphy's eyes, we could have a landslide. Write-ins are not even
acceptable. Landslide Kerry!

Only in a state election, (and never would I vote for him, personally, but
if he was running in a state capacity I wouldn't discourage voters from
choosing him over anyone--its the presidency I'm so worried about.)


Sorry this was so long, but as I say, I'm passionate about getting bu$h & co
OUT!
