We have got to stop meeting like this.
But, there is a post that has generated some 500 responses on a complete NON-ISSUE. We are all keyed up, waiting for this election to be over, but let’s not lose our minds.
We are falling for a trap that has been set months ago. Many trolls have infiltrated this board, and they intend to do all they can to demoralize you, with postings of gloom and doom in response to what they see in the media. Some FReepers naturally respond in kind with negative comments about Bush and his team.
You can all help each other out by being a little less emotional and a LOT more skeptical about what you are going to see in the MSM next week. Most of it will be for the direct purpose of making you feel hopeless enough not to go to the polls. There have been two news items posted just today that are completely false stories, then we get the Drudge thing about an old story that actually helps Bush more than it hurts him.
What happens is that the Left reads your responses and uses them against you. You can expect to see stories about "Depressed Republicans" or "Republicans Have Lost Faith" or some other crap like that in the news this week. Pay no attention to it. Bush's internal polls suggest that if we turn out to vote, there is NO WAY HE CAN LOSE THIS ELECTION.
The LEFT knows this, and they are doing all they can to scare you, anger you, and do anything else that they can do to convince you that it is a waste of time for you to go to the polls.
We know their game, yet we fall for it over and over again. Do yourself a favor and turn off Chris Matthews. Turn off MSNBC, ABC, CNN and the rest, and on Election Day, get your ass to the polls and shove your vote right up their ass. This election is ours to win, so don’t be swayed by negativity. Get out there and win this one for your country!
Drudge just said the White House leaked it.. This looks like it's being setup for a one-two counterpunch..
Gig 'em, PD!
Here's an AMEN!!! Well said, Pukin Dog!
You very well may be right...plus the media still thinks it can help kerry, although it started out as 15% now I heard it's down to 5%....
Hooya ping!
I do not get any tv news. It is not worth watching and having your blood pressure go off the scale. If it is not on FR, then it does not matter!
This Dog can hunt!
Thanks; we do need to be prepared for all kinds of tactics against the President in this final week!!!
I agree with you Pukin. We will all do ourselves a favor by simply hitting the abuse button instead of responding when you think you've discovered a troll. The Admin Mods have "ways" of determining who is and isn't a troll. Just let them know, and let them do their work.
You forgot one - "voter fatigue" that only seems to hit Republicans.
The White House just leaked what?
HOOAH! Well said!
Always remember the northwestern part of Florida in 2000...they called the election for Gore EARLY...while people were still voting. EVERY vote we cast for W will matter.
hehe..good one
Cheney Predicts Bush Will Win 52-47%

Cheney wouldn't have said it, unless they were pretty sure.
Bottom line, as I and others keep saying: GET OUT THE VOTE -- whether the polls say that Bush is 10 points ahead or behind.
The only poll that counts is the one on election day.
Amen Pukin!
If you are getting antsy, do something to GET OUT THE VOTE!
In almost every state, early voting is taking place! GO VOTE!
Talk to your neighbors, friends, and family. Drive people to the polls. Do whatever you can.
I have seen numerous posts from Newbies (just registered this month) dooming and glooming. IT IS JUST AN ATTEMPT TO PSYCHE US OUT!
DON'T FALL FOR THE DUmmie TRAP!
