3. me too, besides this is when we really had better get ready for
all the worst behavior out of these kool-aider's. Just remember what they did to Clinton during his entire presidency because he beat 4l. These *&^&&** will do anything. Remember Cheney said 52-47 Bush and he's going to have to eat those words. Or maybe he will just take all the money he has made and will still make after his stint and live happily ever after...............

31. Exactly
And this time we can't let them get away with it like they did before. We have to be ready to counteract every lie they spread. DU is one of the best sites I've seen for reacting quickly and effectively to fraudulent media spin. I will be here for a long time.

4. Even after JFK wins there will be plenty to keep us busy
I'm predicting Kerry's administration to be the most hated Democratic presidency America's hardcore right will ever know. Even if he does a terrific job, which I'm sure he will, they'll lie, cheat, whine, and wail at every possible opportunity, factual or otherwise. And just like always, we'll vent their smoke and filet their red herrings.

7. Welcome To DU
It'll be our job to "Defend the President"

Let's make sure we'll get all indignant when the freepsters don't show him any 'Spect.

"Either you're with President Kerry, or you're with the terrists."

A bit of their own medicine

6. I'll be here! We'll have another job....countering the right wing media.
I seriously hope Skinner keeps up the media links. We're going to need those...the right wing, corporate media will have it in for the Kerry Adminstration from day 1. Expect some truly nasty shit the next 4 years from the right wingers. We can be a truth squad for President Kerry!

8. Me, too.
It will be great to be a DUer wit Kerry as president. I don't think it will take away from the experience at all, and as you say, our work wil only have begun.

9. Repugs in Congress Will Dig in Their Heels
and try their damndest to prevent John Kerry from turning this country around in the right direction. As we've already shown with *, Cheney & the media, we can make THEIR lives miserable, too!

16. I'm expecting many to "stand on principle"
Edited on Tue Oct-26-04 07:56 PM by rot0r_head
in opposition to *anything* Pres. Kerry proposes. Anything.

I fear "digging in their heels" may be an understatement. Expect them to bring IV drips and colostomy bags to filibusters. The detrimental toll massive Republican senatorial opposition can have on our democracy cannot be overemphasized.

There are exceptions, of course. But for the most part we're dealing with extremist sycophants willing to grind the country's legislature to a halt to perform idiological fellatio on their deposed boy king.

Even the most despised absolutist can count on their loyalist base to wage a war of attrition after they're toppled from power. President Bush has reminded us of that once; hopefully he'll do so again next week.

15. Absolutely, I'll still be a DU'er. Getting a Democratic president
in the white house is only the first step in our battles. The Right Wing Conservatives have been working their perfidy for 20 years. They're not going to suddenly retire their plans if they don't have a man in the oval office.

"Liberal" should never have been allowed to become a slanderous term. I'm resolved to make it a respected term again.

19. You bet! The work has only started!
After 11/2, Kerry and Edwards will be under attack from all the right-wing machinery that's already in place: hate radio, Faux News, other cable-news talking heads, etc.

It will be a constant battle to keep these jerks as "honest" as possible, and to stick up for our new president.

Remember what the right wing did to Big Dog over the course of eight years. They couldn't get to him, but they sure as hell tried -- and they succeeded in getting him impeached, of all absurd things. They did everything they could to try and discredit him. They still do.

This must not be allowed to happen to Kerry -- and his detractors will be coming after him, you can count on it.

Linus once said "I love humanity, it's people I can't stand" --- so, with that in mind, there is still much work to be done :)

Edit: Linus from Peanuts, that is... not Linus of Nobel Prize fame, or Linus of Linux fame.

24. I can tell you one thing
I won't be going to boards that harbor repukes anymore. I'm already sick and tired of them, their assinine arguments, the fantasy world they live in, their complete depravation of morals or ethics, and their insouciance about the world we live in.

I am tired of shit that flows from their pores, that they are so stupidly oblivious about the world around us, and their complete and utter lack of conscience. To hell with them!

They will try, like they did with Bill Clinton, to bring down the white house, but this time, we're organized. This time, it will be the assholes on the rightwing who will finally get their due.

Yes, I'm mad as hell. I've been accused today of many things but I'll be damned if I will let those bastards win.

We still have plenty to do. The executive branch of government at the federal level is far from being the only part of government.

29. I'm not going anywhere!
I've also been avoiding boards that allow R's to stomp on others' and have free reign. It was such a relief to find this board and others that actually share my value system. If you listen to them long enough you start to wonder if there is something wrong with being Liberal. Emphasis on just 'wonder'--never fully believed it.

32. It's not over until it's over!
And it will NEVER really be over. Even if we have a Kerry presidency and a Democratic majority in Congress, the neocons will constantly try to tear it all down. DUers will need to keep up the flow of accurate information and fight even harder.

So I'll be a DUer as long as DU is here.

37. No resting on laurels
The Pugs and freepers are hungry for attack since they don't have the Big Dog's dropped drawers to paw into. So they will be digging for the deepest dirt on Kerry. We have to protect JFK from these imbeciles.
