One person's opinion....

[ShainaT]

Friends,

This is it. ONE DAY LEFT. There are many things I’d like to say. I’ve been on the road getting out the vote for 51 straight days so I haven’t had much time to write. So I’ve put together a bunch of notes to various groups all in this one letter. Please feel free to copy and send whatever portions are appropriate to your friends and family as you spend these last 24 hours trying to convince whomever you can to show up and vote for John Kerry.

Here are my final words…

To Decent Conservatives and Recovering Republicans:

In your heart of hearts you know Bush is a miserable failure.
From having no plan on what to do in Iraq once he conquered Baghdad to the 380 missing tons of explosives that could be used to kill our brave young men and women, this guy doesn’t have a clue how to fight and win a war. You should see the mail I’ve been getting lately from our troops over there. They know how much the Iraqi people hate them.
They are sitting ducks anytime they go out on the road. Many believe we are not that far away from a Tet-style offensive inside the Green Zone with hundreds of Americans and Brits killed.
Bush refused to go after and capture Osama bin Laden. He
fought, every step of the way, the investigation into the 9/11
attacks. Who on earth would oppose such a thing?
If 3,000 people died at your place of work and your boss said we don’t need to find out why or how it happened, he’d be thrown out on his ear. Bush’s behavior after this great tragedy alone is reason enough for his removal.
You already know that George W. Bush is the farthest thing
from a conservative. He’s a reckless spender who has run up
record-breaking deficits and the biggest debt in our history. He
believes in having the government pry into everything from your
library records to your bedroom. He has hit you with hidden taxes with his tax cuts for the rich.
I know many of you don’t like Bush, but are unsure of Kerry.
Give the new guy a chance. He won’t raise your taxes (unless you are super-rich), he won’t take your hunting gun away, and he won’t make you visit France. He risked his life for you many years ago. He’s asking for the chance to do it again. Scott McConnell at The American Conservative magazine has endorsed him. What more do you need?

To My Friends on the Left:

> Okay, Kerry isn’t everything you wished he would be. You’re
> right. He’s not you! Or me. But we’re not on the ballot – Kerry is.
> Yes, Kerry was wrong to vote for authorization for war in Iraq but he
> was in step with 70% of the American public who was being lied to by
> Bush & Co. And once everyone learned the truth, the majority turned
> against the war. Kerry has had only one position on the war – he
> believed his president.
> President Kerry had better bring the troops home right away.
> My prediction: Kerry’s roots are anti-war. He has seen the horrors of
> war and because of that he will avoid war unless it is absolutely
> necessary. Ask most vets. But don’t ask someone whose only horror was
> when he arrived too late for a kegger in Alabama.
> There’s a reason Bush calls Kerry the Number One Liberal in
> the Senate – THAT’S BECAUSE HE IS THE NUMBER ONE LIBERAL IN THE
> SENATE! What more do you want? My friends, this is about as good as it
> gets when voting for the Democrat. We don’t have the #29 Liberal
> running or the #14 Liberal or even the #2 Liberal – we got #1! When
> has that ever happened?
> Those of us who may be to the left of the #1 liberal Democrat
> should remember that this year conservative Democrats have had to make
> a far greater shift in their position to back Kerry than we have.
> We’re the ones always being asked to make the huge compromises and to
> always vote holding our noses. No nose holding this time. This #1
> liberal is not the tweedledee to Bush’s tweedledum.
>
> To Nader Voters:
>
See the above note.
Ralph’s own party, the Green Party, would not endorse his run
> this year. That’s because those of us who want to build a third party
> in this country know that the only way to do this is to build bridges
> with those who believe in the issues Nader believes in. But not one of
> those people will sacrifice the chance to remove George W. Bush from
> the White House on Tuesday. The choice here is clear: do we join with
> our friends, or do we piss on them?
> After the debacle of 2000, the Democrats got smart and
> abandoned the conservative wing of their party. That’s why 8 of the 9
> Democrats in the primaries this year were from the liberal wing. Ralph
> should take credit for that and declare victory. It’s so sad that he
> doesn’t realize the good he’s accomplished. But for reasons only known
> to him, he’s more angry at the Democrats than he is at Bush. He has
> lost his compass. I worry he has lost his mind. But he still gives a
> great speech!
> And Lila Lipscomb, the mother from Flint who lost her son in
> Iraq, she still grieves -- as do the mothers of 1,120 others (not to
> mention the mothers of the 100,000 Iraqis who have died because of
> Bush’s war). That’s what this election is about. Not Ralph proving
> some point. Almost none of us on his 2000 advisory group are
> supporting him this year. His total lack of respect for his best
> friends should tell all of you something about what he really thinks
> of you, too.
>
To the Non-Swing States:

Stop listening to how your vote doesn’t count in this
election and that your state is already decided for Kerry or Bush. It is critical that you vote because we not only need to give Kerry the
> electoral win, but he needs to have a HUGE mandate with an ENORMOUS
> popular vote victory as well. It will be impossible for him to get
> anything done for four years if there is no clear mandate. We must not
> only defeat Bush, we must put a stake in the heart of the right-wing,
> neo-con movement. If you live in New York, California, Illinois,
> Texas, the Northeast or the Deep South, you need to vote and you need
> to bring ten people with you to the polls. If you live in a state
> where we have the chance to elect the Democrat to the Senate or the
> House, you need to vote. Turn off the TV. Quit listening to news media
> that has a vested interest in repeating to you over and over that your
> vote does not count. It does.
> If you have friends or relatives who live in the 30-plus
> non-swing states, call them and remind them how important it is that
> Kerry gets a massive popular vote victory.
>
To Non-Voters:

I understand why you stopped voting. Politicians suck.
Nothing ever seems to change. You’re only one vote.
Yes, politicians suck. But so do car salesmen – and that
> hasn’t stopped you from buying a car. Politicians only respond to the
> threat of the angry mob also known as the voting public. If most
> people don’t vote, that’s good news for them ‘cause then they don’t
> have to answer to the majority.
> Almost fifty percent of Americans don’t vote. That means you
> belong to the largest political party in America – the Non-Voting
> Party. That means you hold all the power to toss George W. Bush out of
> the Oval Office. How cool is that?
> I believe that we are going to have the largest election
> turnout in our lifetime tomorrow. You don’t want to miss out on that.
> The lines at the polls are going to be long and raucous and fun. It is
> an historic election. You won’t want to say that you were the only one
> who wasn’t there. Promise me you’ll vote, just this one time.
>
To All First-Time Voters:

Welcome to the longest running, uninterrupted democracy on
earth! You own it. It’s yours.
A few words about how messy it’s going to be tomorrow. The
> lines are going to be long. Bring your iPods. Better yet, bring a
> friend or two. The election officials have no clue just how many
> millions are going to show up at the polls. This will be the largest
> turnout in our lifetime. They don’t have enough machines. They are
> going to have to send for more ballots.
> And they are going to make it difficult for you to vote. The
> new law says if this is your first time voting you must bring ID with
> you that matches the address you are registered at.
> If for some reason they can’t find your name on the voting
> rolls, you have the right to ask for a provisional ballot, which you
> can fill out and then sort things out later.
> If you have any problems at the polling place, please call
> 1-866-OUR-VOTE. The people there can tell you how to find the precinct
> where you should be voting, get you legal help if you are denied the
> right to vote, or answer any other questions you may have.
> If you need any help figuring out the ballot, don’t be afraid
> to ask. If you screw up your ballot, you can ask for another one. In
> fact, the law allows you to screw up your ballot two times before you
> finally have to submit your final ballot! Be careful to vote on the
> line that says John F. Kerry/John Edwards. Don’t vote for more than
> one Presidential, Senate or House candidate or you ballot won’t be
> counted. If your polling place has a stub or a receipt from your
> ballot, make sure they give you one.
> Thanks for joining us. Democracy is not a spectator sport. It
> only works when we all come off the bench and participate.
>
To African Americans:
First of all, let’s just acknowledge what you already know:
> America is a country which still has a race problem, to put it nicely.
> Al Gore would be president today had thousands of African Americans
> not had their right to vote stolen from them in Florida in 2000.
> Here is my commitment: I will do everything I can to make
> sure that this will not happen again. And I’m not the only one making
> this pledge. Thousands of volunteer lawyers are flying to Florida to
> act as poll watchers and intervene should there be any attempts to
> deny anyone their right to vote. They will NOT be messing around.
> For my part, I have organized an army of 1,200 professional
> and amateur filmmakers who will be armed with video cameras throughout
> the states of Florida and Ohio. At the first sign of criminality, we
> will dispatch a camera crew to where the vote fraud is taking place
> and record what is going on. We will put a big public spotlight on any
> wrongdoing by Republican officials in those two states. They will not
> get away with this as they did in 2000.
> In Ohio, the Republicans are sending almost 2,000 paid “poll
> challengers” into the black precincts of Cleveland in an attempt to
> stop African Americans from voting. This action is beyond despicable.
> Do not let this stop you from voting. I, and thousand of others, will
> be there to fight for you and protect you.
>
> To George W.:
>
> I know it’s gotta be rough for you right now. Hey, we’ve all
> been there. “You’re fired” are two horrible words when put together in
> that order. Bin Laden surfacing this weekend to remind the American
> people of your total and complete failure to capture him was a cruel
> trick or treat. But there he was. 3,000 people were killed and he’s
> laughing in your face. Why did you stop our Special Forces from going
> after him? Why did you forget about bin Laden on the DAY AFTER 9/11
> and tell your terrorism czar to concentrate on Iraq instead?
> There he was, OBL, all tan and rested and on videotape (hey,
> did you get the feeling that he had a bootleg of my movie? Are there
> DVD players in those caves in Afghanistan?)
> Speaking of my movie – can I ask you a personal question
> before we part ways for good on Tuesday? Why did you and your friends
> fund SIX “documentaries” trashing me -- but only ONE film against
> Kerry? C’mon, he was the candidate, not me. What a waste of your time
> and resources! Sure, I know what your pollsters told you, that the
> film had convinced some people to vote you out. I just want you to
> know that that was not my original intent. Funny things happen at the
> movies. Hope you get to see a few at the multiplex in Waco. It’s a
> great way to relax.
>
> To John Kerry:
>
> Thank you.
> And don’t worry – none of us are going away after you are
> inaugurated. We’ll be there to hold your hand and keep you honest.
> Don’t let us down. We’re betting you won’t. So is the rest of the
> world.
>
That’s it. See you at the polls – and at the victory party
tomorrow night.

(Okay...so if I put Michael Moore in the header many people wouldn't have read this right??) KERRY '04

[luvmetender]

I'm luvmetender and I approve this message

[chippers21]

LOL- Michael Moore is possibly one of the most stupid people in this country. I was shaking my head as I read the whole message. And when I saw who wrote it I knew why.

[whitequeen96]

Good for you, Michael! We want our country back!

[luvmetender]

Yes we sure do! GO KERRY!!!

[Shainie]

Barf.

Like Michael Moore's opinion means an ounce of crap to me.

I can't believe decent human beings believe half of what comes out of his mouth. It's like he's some kind of cult leader, and you guys can't control your own thoughts when he spews his garbage.

Michael Moo-er would kick his own mother while she slept.

Ditto!

I told my husband this morning, if Kerry wins this election it will be SOLELY because of the Liberal propaganda-spewing machines. MM is the biggest one of those machines. Amazing that anyone can quote him as though they are impressed with his spoof of movie-making, his shockingly dishonest techniques, his low-lifeness in general

[Shainie]

And it's not even the fact that he bashes Bush. I would loathe this man just as much if he was doing the same thing about Kerry.

And you know what? If Kerry gets elected, I see Moore doing the same thing to Kerry, as soon as he does something unpopular.

The only thing that pleases Moore is himself, and food.

PRESIDENT KERRY IN A LANDSLIDE!!!

Name-calling is usually the last resort of people who can't offer concrete refutations to the facts. If you took the time to watch his documentaries, you'd know that he's an equal opportunity basher. He took Clinton to task in the Big One....Kerry will be no different. The difference is that Dems will hold your feet to the fire regardless of your political affiliation. I wish the opposition had the same value system.

OMG, that's the best joke I've heard in a long time!

[mayfly]

I wish people could share their own opinions instead of copying and pasting Michaels all the time. Pandybat did that too, when Pipanella asked for one reason. It's like there are no other thoughts but Michael Moores.

Documentary-
Yeah, right.
If YOU took the time to look for the truth, you'd see how full of it he is

Surely, you are joking!! May I suggest you take a moment to look up the word "Concrete"?! These are all frightwinger links....do you honestly expect any right thinking person to take this crap literally. Oops....YOU may not want to answer that....lol

You may want to investigate that thing that you continually run from called truth, sweetie. Try it, you may actually like it!!

PRESIDENT KERRY 2004!!!

If you found anything amusing about that statement, I feel sorry for you. As difficult as it may be for you, please try to make it a great day!

PRESIDENT KERRY 2004!!

[chippers21]

Four (count them ) more years for Bush!



LOL Getting in my last few silly comments before the cease fire.
