I'm optimistic. That's why I'm working very hard on this election and why I am encouraging others to do the same.
But I see too many defeatist posts around here. "
We're going to lose because they'll steal our votes. Or, "
We're going to lose because of some last minute Rovian plot." Etc.
You sound like the guys in "Animal House" when Dean Wormer lowered the boom. Well, meet Bluto...
D-Day: War's over, man. Rove dropped the big one.
Bluto: Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
Otter: Germans?
Boon: Forget it, he's rolling.
Bluto: And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough... <thinks hard>
Bluto: the tough get goin'! Who's with me? Let's go! <runs out, alone; then returns>
Bluto: What the fuck happened to the Democrats I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts, huh? "Ooh, we're afraid to go with you Bluto, we might get in trouble." Well just kiss my ass from now on! Not me! I'm not gonna take this. Turdblossom? He's a dead man! Chimp? Dead! Crashcart?....
Otter: Dead! Bluto's right. Psychotic, but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part.
Bluto: We're just the guys to do it.
D-Day: Let's do it.
Bluto: LET'S DO IT!
Let's do it! Give until it hurts.
May I have ten thousand marbles, please?
