I have a question for the gallery:
What are some concrete examples of sexism and or racism from the campaigns in question - meaning from the candidate, from a surrogate, from a campaign staffer, in a commercial, etc.
Last week was truly a wonderful moment in modern American politics. But there are some flies in the ointment...
The spin coming out of the so-called Moderate camps inside the Democratic establishment. The DLC, Blue Dogs, "liberal hawks" and "socally conservative" Democrats are doing and saying everything they can, working as hard as they can to put out a coordinated message that, somehow, these elections were a victory for "moderates" who are empowered to "govern from the center." Time to smash that meme. Time to lay waste to that ill-considered, false, and self-serving garbage NOW, before our victory is watered down and replaced with more of the same old triangulating, guaranteed-to-lose milquetoast BULLSHIT.
There is a currently forming database/information page being constructed over at the dkosopedia entitled Voter Registration Fraud Clearinghouse.
We are collecting and organizing all the stories and tidbits we can find regarding Sproul, various dirty tricks (Florida intimidation, Ohio paper scandal, Wisconsin ballot denial, Alaska Ballot reprinting, etc)...
Please, go there! Use it! Get material, fire off letters to the editor, add to the database...
Make a stink!
Cheers!
We are Sunshine and Alligators!! We are BITING BACK FOR DEMOCRACY!
We need YOUR help.
