The midterm election is do or die. If the Democrats loose the House and Senate, it's game over. For good. The Republicans will rape and plunder the democratic process with the help at every stage from the corporations, and the United States of America will become a de facto potpouri of corporate fifedoms who milk their slaves until they drop. We are almost to the point of being nothing more then a brand name or sports franchise as it is....
Without the youth vote, the Dems are sunk. With the youth vote, we can swamp the polls once again, and not only stop a horrible defeat, but turn it into a stunning victory. Personally, I love a nice victory. Lots of parades, cheering.. you get the point. Sarah Palin is the Joan of Arc to the Teaparty "Baggers" ( are they baggers? or are they baquettes? Maybe if we equate them with anything French they may just implode). For the believers, she walks on water. She carries the cross, and she leads them to victory. Lada Gaga is the Dems Joan of Arc for this election. We need to recruit her to get the youth vote to the polls, and in droves.
Joan of Arcs do those things. Lead the faithful for a just and righteous cause. Repeal of DADT, health care, jobs.... all seem like righteous and just cases to me.
My idea is this:... On Nov 2, Lada Gaga text message and email all of her followers, asking them to vote. A short message that explains what is at stake, and how the obstructionist Republicans have stopped progress dead it its tracks. Have her ask her followers that as a favor to her personally, they go vote today, and vote the obstructionist bedbugs out of office once and for all..the Coup de Grace to finish the job. In tight swing states, have her send a second special plea an hour later explaining its a close vote and PLEASE go vote. That now is the time to renow the hope for a probably 2 hour commitment. Ask them to text message back to her AFTER they vote. ( so they fell like that are participating in her request)
The Dems need to throw everything they have at Republicans. Jim DeMint was off when he called Health Care Obama's Waterloo. The midterm election will be. But with Lada Gaga's help ( and Ellen DeGeneres, and Oprah, and a mulitidue of others who have large faithful followers), this can be turned from a Waterloo moment to the Democrat's Stalingrad-where the invading Germans were not only stopped, but forced into a retreat which eventually led to unconditional surrender. In 2008, we bought a product, and when we got it home we found out there were some bugs that didn't make it work so well.(bedbug is a nice anaolgy-blood suckers and invasive) 2010 is the repair call, or the second treatment. 2008 came in 2 parts. "Finish the Job" should be Gaga's rallying cry. One apparently never gets all the bedbugs (or roaches)the first time around. It takes a few treatments. If everyone gets out to vote one more time, this will be the Coup de Grace for the Republicans. Think big.
