Plea from a democratic

Posted on 10/31/2008 3:58:43 PM PDT by PleaFromDemocratic

I’m not trying to hide, you may know right up front that I am a very liberal democratic. I know of your site from DU. If your policy requires deleting this post, then it will only be a small waste of my time.

I have had a rough eight years. Not financially, I do OK. Not in personal loss, I have lost no one I know or love to either of these tragic costly wars. No, I’m not someone who can claim a direct path between my misery and W. My disdain for this president, his inner circle, Republicans on the hill and every last person responsible for the affront to ideals I hold personally important, they have cost ME little. No… Not me. I cry for those whose lives have suffered directly through these long eight years. I include most of you in that group. Most people have been directly affected by policy over the last eight years, and for most, it has been tough.

So, as we move past what I consider a blight on our nations character, I expect you to perceive the reverse to be true. I’m not going to be able to write anything to change your perception. If Obama wins, you will feel bad. You will feel left out. It is my personal hope that all us liberals that have felt so bad, crushed and left out will be able to show you something new. You will still disagree with us, I don’t expect that to change. I do expect me, and my fellow democrats to not make you feel the same despair we suffered. Change is coming. You will not like some of it. It is our responsibility to reach out to our opponents, and not make them feel ignored, dismissed, or anything like we have had to feel for eight long years.

When, if, Obama wins. I hope you can share in positive change. I hope you see direct benefits in your lives.

True, true.

But is it not a wonderful rant just the same? :-) Regardless of the original author - to be re-used in the appropriate forum? that's what efficiency and effectiveness is all about!

Ummm, I think I'll pass on the free visit to the reeducation camp, if that's all right with you.
I've heard that it's a little cramped, that the hot water doesn't work right and that the food isn't that good...something about the ovens not working right.

With all due respect: SHOVE IT- I rebuke you and your liberal curse upon us..

Now if you want to conduct open and honest debate I am ALL for it; I warn you it will be tough, and you’ll probably loose, but it will be respectful on my part, I don’t accept your premise ;)!

In the same vein...

You already did. Two years of the Nancy and Harry show with 9% popularity is about all the new stuff the country can take.

P.S. Both rants should always be viewed sequentially, IMHO.
Consider it as an e-mail exchange with "Squeeze, Baby, Squeeze" being written first (March 7, 2000) with "The Ultimate Flame" being written second (12/12/2000) (use the F5 trick again) (Author: Withheld to protect the guilty?), having been written as a rebuttal of some sort.
