Sorry, but this one DU post needs to appear all on its own. Enjoy!

Menopause can be a bitch...

I think that's why he posted it. One of the few grammatically correct POSTS from the underworld. I mean underground.

[Cowboy Bob]

Someday, when my two young children...

This is a hoax. Everybody knows that a true Democrat would have aborted their children :^)

Don't worry, within a few hours this will have been a "great victory" in the "long-running chess game" and once again they will be saying "I believe".

Shucks, some of that was going on while the House and Senate were still deliberating today. Here's a reply from the same DU thread to this poor lady:

9. Yeah, mama

Know how you feel.

We got hit pretty bad. What we considered to be the right thing did not go down as it should. The heads of the party slipped and slid away from us just at the moment we needed them most to stay and fight. 'Tis sad.

But look what we've done... 'Twas historic, and we made it happen. In just 9 weeks we encouraged the encourageable to stand on the floor of the people's house and decry the undemocratic (s)election process.

Yeah, Kerry should have been there too. But he's history now, and the next president is taking note of our concerns and will ride our wave into the Whitehouse come 2009.

Gird thyself and don't let the pukelikans get you down. Many far more serious struggles have been won in time, and we will win this one as long as we stick together, united and concentrated.

Peace

Uh, give me a buzz when that wave comes along, will ya sport?

[Welsh Rabbit]

I'm speechless.

You took the words out of my mouth. What's this spineless woman going to do someday when her family might face a real crisis?

[commonguymd]

Funniest thing about some of this is that they got bilked by these folks. Seriously, the demand for cash to fight this battle that never really existed was enormous. Took them for some money...

I point and laugh in their general direction.

[MHT]

While she's telling her children all about the big Dem defeat of 2004, I hope someone tells her children how wacky their mom really is. Such propaganda forced upon unformed minds is really a form of child abuse.

[Dolphy]

Thank God my parents didn't react this way when their candidates lost. What a horrible attitude for a mother.

[dukeman]

Sometimes a thing just speaks for itself.

[Welsh Rabbit]

His kids will be Republican in adulthood, I predict.

Growing up, I had a good friend who's parents were total liberal hippies. He grew up to be quite different from them. I think, in a large part, a lot of his development was a direct rejection of his parent's way of doing things.

[dukeman]

Here's another poor soul from another thread:

Javaman (1000+ posts) Fri Jan-07-05 12:07 AM

Thank you all, but I've had it...

I believe I'm honestly through with politics or anything to do with our political system.

I remember once years ago, when I was a little kid and I asked my dad who he was voting for. He said, "Son, it doesn't make a difference any more".

It was just after nixon was reelected. I was little and optimistic. Even at that age I thought, my dad looked beaten. I changed that day. I began to read the papers and follow things in washington, voted in mock elections in school, read and kept up to date on the candidates, wrote to my congressman when I thought something was wrong or when they did a good job. I felt involved.

I had hopes for this country. Although, I was only 4 months old when Kennedy was assassinated, I read much about his life and what could have been.

I valued the day I was able to legally vote in my first election. I thought my voted really mattered.

As an adult, I was delighted when Clinton was elected. I felt that hope that I had felt when reading about Kennedy. I believed in the system. We had a productive country again based on forward thought and making a free and equal society.

Then came his second term. I never felt Clinton's personal life should have been an issue, but what appalled me, was the viscous attacks by the republicans. I have seen partisan attacks before, but this was something altogether different.

This was an organized full frontal assault. So, while Clinton should have been running the country, he was swamped in media made controversy.

Looking back, it was all manufactured to set the stage for what we have today.

One by one the republicans knocked down our Democratic domino's. Peeling away our skin and letting the sun back our hides.

After Clinton and the bizarre investigations, came the thrown election of 2000. I protested, wrote letters, complained to my congressman, but for what? Nothing was done or investigated. Gore gave a half hearted try, but rolled over and let the republicans have their way. He tried to rise above, but that concept of not lowering yourself to their level was his undoing. It was then, that the republicans had shown themselves for who they are; people who have no problem with sinking as low as they can to get the result they want.

Whine, cheat and steal. Nothing is beneath them.

So like the rest of America, I suffered through the last 4 years, waiting for the 2004 election. Fully confident that the people of this great nation would finally have seen our appointed president for who he is, a thief.

Alas, it was not to happen, because for the last for years, the republicans have been sowing fear and feigned morals into every corner of the nation.

They know they can't win with the truth, so they have to constantly keep the nations collective eye off the ball. Just when things would start to come into focus, they would knock us off balance.

So now four years later, he has been reappointed through another sham election. Knowing full well that he could never get reelected with his record.

There was a period of time in this country in the 1830's-40's when all a president elect had to be was a hero from the Indian wars. The vice prez or the secretary of state actually ran things. Here we are again. We don't vote for a prez, the spin masters shove an image down our throats, whether we like the person or not.

With the sham hearings of abu gonzalez and the soon to be prime timed hearings of condi, I haven't had an original thought ever, rice coming soon, I know it will just be another exercise in futility for the democratic party.

Today, I hit the wall. After the "protest" by Boxer. And how * was breezily approved into another term. I just saw the Democratic party for what it is, a paper tiger.

Until people are willing to put their jobs on the line and actually do what they are supposed to do, take a stand for the betterment of this country, we are just going to see more of the same, until all we have is a one party rule.

I'm so depressed about this whole mess. It has just sucked the life out of me and my interest in politics.

Thank you for listening. For the rest of you, fight the good fight. I've had it.

The Democratic Underground is such a wonderful site and forum. Please keep up the good work. You are a voice in a ocean of stupidity.

I believe this will be my last post.

[balk]

I have a similar background. My parents are totally anti-American, socialist whackos. They can't understand where I'm coming from, and they constantly 'step in it' when they try to debate politics. But I love them anyway.

[Richard Kimball]

continued to support the 33 Brave Democrats in the House and the one brave Senator that voted in favor to reject an unclean election and support instead the rights of the voters and the US Constitution.

I've heard of Freudian slips, but this is a whole bodystocking.

[commonguymd]

Oh my - just precious. Is it wrong of me to find these posts you are finding over there simply delicious? Is it wrong? Am I a bad man?



LMAO

[mysto]

I will teach them about a great American patriot named Barbara Boxer and her Brave Stand with the Black Congressional Caucus to take a stand.
BARF ALERT!

[Anti-MSM]

The Democratic Underground is such a wonderful site and forum. Please keep up the good work. You are a voice in a ocean of stupidity.

Sometimes I wonder if DU is actually a satire site run by conservatives to mock liberalism...then I realize no one is possibly creative enough to make up that garbage. That site is truly an ocean of stupidity.

6. Are you joking???

We didn't have a repeat of Jan 6 2001 - we made WAVES. Liberal to conservative dems protested the vote - they grew a spine and ovaries! THIS IS THE BEGINNING, and WE are a part of it! We so ****ing rock.

13. Now it's my turn to ask if YOU'RE joking!

Barbara Boxer was the ONLY member of the Senate who voted to challenge the Ohio electors; and only 31 members of the House voted the same way. That's 32 "yes" votes out of 535 members of Congress!

The Democratic Party is dying of self-inflicted wounds. All today accomplished was to stop the bleeding for a few hours. It was absolutely pathetic.

My days as a Democrat are numbered.

[commonguymd]

That same thought has struck me at times. When peering into the darkside, it seems like a bunch of freepers setting up the far left loons with bilge and they fall for it. Then again - I have met a few loons in my travels. Truly odd creatures.

[dukeman]

My thoughts exactly, ANTI-MSM! I truly don't believe a person could make up stuff this funny. It has to be authentic! BTW, your screenmane reminds me that the DUers, I kkd you not, fervently believe that the MSM is totally in the tank for Bush! Theirs is a bizzaro world.
