*General Discussion/G*d D*mn the Possibility of President McCain

Rough mission statement, feel free to comment:

Keep yet another hawkish, neoCon, anti-social program, anti-child, pro-oil industry, pro-tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy, creepy, slimy, unprincipled, spineless, pass-the-bucker, lowlife, creepy, crazy person out of White House even if it's just by bitching about it on a message board because most of us do have our boots on the ground and need some catharsis.

I knd of had to get that out. Thanks for your attention. :hi:

Edit: Oh, and do feel free to register displeasure with Carly Fiorina, whom I hate almost as much as McSame (it's personaly, my hubby did biz with HP), too.

Don't be shy, what are you REALLY trying to say?

:rofl:

15 years of advocating for universal single-payer healthcare and I'm a "centrist" on DU. It set off a trigger--what can i say, I'm blonde! I frame the world in my own way. :shrug:

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

My 1000th post, that is.

I always enjoy and agree with your comments, so why not?

One thing I've learned during my short time here is that much of the recent division seems to come from the misperception or expectation (by a few) that progressives are a monolithic block.

Some of the surprises for me included learning that there is considerable support for the use of nuclear energy and for the second amendment.

This recent infighting and outrage soooo misses the point; that we will find our greatest strength in celebrating what we have in common.

Conversely, our greatest weakness is that we do not manage our differences very well, and the opposition takes advantage of it expertly.

These are principles that Barack Obama understands and is able to use with great expertise, I believe.

So, thank you for all of your great comments, and your humor.

Cheers, this post is to you and the other rational members of DU!
