Simply a spectacle to watch. I understand it, i am sympathetic of it, but I CAN'T STAND IT!!!.
IN ONE DAY, BECAUSE OF ONE POLL we now have a wave of previously rah-rah Obama supports pulling their hair, finalizing their wills, and falling into wet slobs of pathetic crying fits. Those of little faith and weak knees, i say to you, "YOU'RE NOT CUT OUT FOR THIS GAME!!"
For your own mental health, to relieve the rest of us the drag and burden of spending our energies combating your obsessions with failure--- PLEASE TURN OFF THE COMPUTER AND TAKE SOME TIME AWAY FROM THIS BATTLE!
Many of the "Chicken Littles" gnashing their teeth and rending their shirts now are many of the same who wrote glowing, victory day diaries just after Obama's speech the previous week. I know who you are! You are the same football fans who are ready to proclaim defeat at half-time when your team is down by 10 points.
Are you really fans at all? Fanhood comes with it at least a faith in your team's ability to survive adversity. Have you been mistaken to think that OBAMA was ever anything but the UNDERDOG in this election? Please read the incredibly moving diary by TexasMango and realize where we've started and where we are fighting from: http://www.dailykos.com/...
Yes. UNDERDOG. From DAY 1. Until November 4th!
To have expected anything more has been wishful thinking and falling for the "celebrity" hype that an Obama Presidency is "INEVITABLE". (Sound familiar to anyone......?)
So please people, realize that DKOS and other sites like this are HIGHLY VALUABLE AT THIS MOMENT IN THE ELECTION in their function to 1) Inform 2) Debate Strategy 3) Promote action.
Yes, there are no rules against "ranting", "moaning", "screeching", and "surrendering". So do as you will with your once-a-day diary. But i would suggest to you, that your "Diaries of DOOM" are counter-productive to the fight. If you are not a Republican troll here to despirit the work and moral of this movement, then please keep your hands OFF the keyboard.
Leave it to the Fighters to do the fighting. BECAUSE BY GOD I AM NOT GOING DOWN WITHOUT BLOODYING THEIR NOSES!
Leave to the rest of us who are passionate enough about winning this thing-- those of us who have take all our fears, anger, and hopes and set aside our fears for for the greater cause-- leave it to us to carry the torch. Because YOU, my "chicken little friend", as much as i care for you as an American, you are just obstacles in our race to victory. So, UNTIL YOU FIND YOUR INNER COURAGE, please, stop blogging. Register yourself to vote and show up to the booths on election day to pull the lever for Obama. That's all i ask of you now.
Obama can not and will not win this without fully committed and courageous action by US, THE PEOPLE WHO PUT HIM THERE. THE PEOPLE WHO PUSHED HIM PAST THE CLINTONS.
Because it isn't about Barack Obama....It's about YOU.
TO THE REAL FIGHTERS HERE:
I am only one voice, but i am here. I've maxed my contributions to Obama-- $2300 of my hard earned dollars ARE ALL IN! More will go to the DNC and Moveon.org.
HOURS already spent phone banking.
My next step will be signing up this weekend to start canvassing my local community.
Because i decided a long time ago that in the face of fear-- you only have 2 options-- SURRENDER or FIGHT. And no matter what happens on November 4th......i want to know that i did everything i could do as an American to save my country from ruin.
NOT JUST FOR ME AND MY FAMILY, BUT FOR EVERY AMERICAN-- RED OR BLUE.
We're coming out of half-time folks-- 2 more quarters to go. Yes the urgency is there now. Yes we are the UNDERDOGS who are expected to lose. Yes the MEDIA is rooting for the 8 year Champions. Yes we live in a still-racist country. Yes our opponents play dirty while our candidate plays nobly. Yes, you'll need to sacrifice your comforts and your free time.
And YES we can win this.
IT'S THE FIGHT OF OUR GENERATION AND PERHAPS OUR LIFETIME. AND HERE YOU ARE, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF HISTORY TAKING PLACE BEFORE YOUR EYES.
WHAT WILL YOU DO TODAY TO GET OBAMA ELECTED?
WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS-- NO TIME FOR LOSERS
