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!

I can't wait to VOTE!
Well worth a hearty Bump.
Not only that but our threads are linked at the Liberal Cave and they laugh and curse the Freepers. They have several threads about us. They're enjoying the panic and handwringing.
If this is what I think it is......Bush Administration declares war on NYT...NYT thinks they have the goods on Bush Administration and publishes story on Iraq having nuclear weapon devices....Bush has press conference and declares, yes, NYT got it right - we have conclusively proven Iraq had WMDs.
How many staffers will jump from windows?
In this final week, we need to take advice from that famous lefty Mother Jones.....
PRAY FOR THE DEAD AND FIGHT LIKE HELL FOR PRESIDENT BUSH
My Family voting Bush no matter what kind of propaganda the news puts out. They are all left wingers, even FOX
I'm guessing Rove is trying to get Kerry to show his cards first.
Get yourself over here and read this!! It's got your name all over it! :)
Did you hear him quoting Zogby's polls have Bush up all over?
NO COMPLACENCY..Get out the vote..Get out and vote..and ignore the gloom and doomers...or offer to hold their hand..Some people offset their anxiety by wanting companions in their misery...Keep the faith and pray for
BUSH/CHENEY 04 FOR THE SAKE OF OUR COUNTRY
And they weren't looted, we have them.
Agree
We need to double the Viking Kitty funding and patrols.
A BUMP FOR COMMON SENSE!!!
I'm new to FR but for what it's worth, I think this site is fantastic and what you just wrote is 100% correct. I did not watch any of the news programs today nor do I plan to watch any this week except maybe Brit. I did door to door yesterday and will be working the full 96 hour GOTV in NH. Positive attitudes translate into positive outcomes.
