Two Ladies Visit America

Emily: Oh, Florence, I do like these Etat Unis, these United, em, States. We must come here more often. I wonder if they have any "Ladies" states, you know, states where only ladies live and frolic. We would go there because we're LADIES.

Florence: Yes, yes -- ladies indeed!

Random Election Volunteer: Are you two guys voting today?

Emily: Pardon, miss?

Volunteer: You know, the election's today, it's a really important one, too, and --

[Emily and Florence gasp in unison]

Emily: Oh, no no! We don't do that, em, vo-tay thing. No, we're LADIES, of course! We do ladies things. Can you tell us where the nearest Ladies state is for us to do...shit?

We Won.

This is what democracy looks like, people. We got the House and the Senate, and it feels good.

We have power. OhMyGodJesusFuckingChrist we have power! Nancy Pelosi is going to be Speaker of the House. Harry Reid, Senate Majority Leader. Like that. And we did this. Us! You, me, Alexis, Jeff, Jacque, Jen, Jen, Jen, Bill, Alexis... We voted, we called people, told them to vote, they voted and called other people. It was a flood. It really worked this time.

This is unreal, this is unimaginable that we have some power now. In every sense of the word, it is awesome.

I was overwhelmed last night watching it happen at the Urge, watching our hopes come to fruition as asshole after asshole went down in flames. When the words "CNN PROJECTS HOUSE WIN" came on the screen I was in tears. I never expected to take the Senate, though. Thank you for being optimistic, Alexis, it took a while but we did it.

Thank you MoveOn, thank you Air America, especially Randy Rhodes , Jeanine Garofalo and Al Franken. Thank you Greg Pallast, Molly Ivins, and Katrina vanden Heuvel . This has been such a long, hard road. On to '08, I know. There's a hell of a lot of work to do and shit to clean up, I know -- but let's savor this moment.

Paul Wellstone , wherever you are -- this win's for you!

WTF No. 3 of 10,467 --> Vote By Mail is the Solution

So all over the country there are voting problems, and not surprisingly, they are overwhelmingly in poor municipalities and places where people are more likely to vote Democratic.

Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.

Holy shit why don't we have what Oregon has: Vote By Mail. It's that easy. It's that simple.

It's going to be a long fucking night.

Vote Today - Don't Let Republicans Win

Well, here we go. This is it. Are we going to wake up to a fascist country tomorrow or will the Republicans lose? It's that simple.

I am worried about these Republican "robo-calls" having an effect on the outcome. I'm already hearing about voter suppression, long lines and people voting on electronic machines for the Democratic candidate and having the Republican one show up as voted for. This is eery.

I read a good post about how most so-called "conservative" Republicans aren't really conservative at all but simply just authoritarian. These tactics definitely prove Republicans can't win on their merits but have to rely on fear, smears and breaking the law to get the results they want. Why do people fall for it? How dumb a society are we getting? The media is no help, obviously. They report races are "tightening" because that makes for a better story line. Keith Olberman of MSNBC is the only one in the so-called mainstream media (more like corporate-owned talking heads masturbating to power) reporting on Republican dirty tricks and giving voice to those who'd like to spread the word.

Republicans, you are masturbating, meth-dropping cowards. We know what you're really about and we're not afraid. We're about life, you're about death.

More posts throughout the day.
