Christ on crutches!! Some people in GD need a fucking scrip for...

[Maddy McCall]

Lexapro, or, better--Xanax.

Goshdam! :grr:

[JohnKleeb]

1. You shouldnt go there, its a poop-poo hole

[Maddy McCall]

2. Edgy doesn't even discribe them...

Hair-triggered, anxious...nope--not adeq8ate to describe SOME PEOPLE in GD. :eyes:

[JohnKleeb]

4. its a whole different world over there

I fled there and I havent looked back.

[XanaDUer]

3. Is there a way to hide the entire forum?

???

[JohnKleeb]

6. I wish

Just don't be tempted by it, and all will be good, really Ive been staying out for nearly 2-3 weeks now and its been good.

[XanaDUer]

9. I would like to come back to DU more

I've been avoiding it.

TOo bad I could not just click and hide the whole mess.

[JohnKleeb]

10. wouldnt that just be great?

to be able to hide it all.

[Maddy McCall]

7. Yes, close your eyes and click right past it into the lounge...

and huddle here...it's the only safe place. I DARE someone to post a political thread in here. I double dog dare them. :-)

[JohnKleeb]

12. They did last night

and being a copycat leader, I promptly copycatted away, the others followed suit.

[Maddy McCall]

15. I'll make a pact with you. Anyone starts a political thread in here...

we copycat them into oblivion. :toast:

[JohnKleeb]

16. You got it

I even copycatted in GD one time because it was such a bs post.

[Maddy McCall]

20. Whoa! That was BRAVE.

:D

[pres2032]

24. how about we run over into GD and copycat every post!

it'll be fun!

[Maddy McCall]

26. LOL! I don't want to be force-fed a granite cookie.

;-)

[pres2032]

29. aw, party pooper!

it'll be so much fun!

[JohnKleeb]

31. that should be fun

but I am still working and I am gonna be tired when I am done.

[Not_Giving_Up]

5. It has calmed down from what it was earlier

I think a lot of people expected too much out of today.

[Maddy McCall]

8. I agree...that's been evident ever since Nov. 2.

[XanaDUer]

11. Yeah

What happened was historic,but did anyone think that ChimpCo was not going to be installed?

[Maddy McCall]

13. If they did, they were delusional.

Nothing was going to stop his second term. Nothing.

[XanaDUer]

14. I know how disappointed we are

but I agree.

[JohnKleeb]

17. Yeah I am disappointed too but it would take a miracle to stop him

I do see that Kerry wants to ask Gonzales some questions but that won't be good enough for some.

[XanaDUer]

19. If he walked on water

that wouldn't be good enough. :eyes:

[Maddy McCall]

22. If DU was a big, olympic-sized swimming pool...

I'd cannonball all of the turncoats. :D

[JohnKleeb]

27. of course not

Ive been telling people that these people are people who care only about rhetoric not about what really matters.

[Maddy McCall]

18. I guess I got over it after the election...

I didn't hold out any unrealistic hope. Yes, I am disappointed. Yes, I wanted Kerry to pull something off at the end, but I knew it was a dream to think it would happen.

I am grounded in reality--sounds like you are, too. :-)

[XanaDUer]

21. I don't believe in letting emotions

block out concentrating what we *can* do to get what we want and need.

[Maddy McCall]

25. I agree. Still much to be done.

I can't believe the criticism of the party and of Kerry that has been going on. Did you see NSMA's thread in AtA? I soooo agree with her.

[XanaDUer]

35. Yup

I put my .02 there as well.

[JohnKleeb]

28. I got over it easily actually

I was down early on but I had a lot of help from friends.

[Maddy McCall]

33. Yep. You have a life outside of DU. I'm starting to think that some...

of the most offensive posters don't have a life beyond their keyboard. :-)

[JohnKleeb]

37. I also was never of "Its the end of the world if Bush wins"

and even its the end of the party, people in GD act like we lost by 10 states, we lost by one state.

[Wapsie B]

48. Yeah.

After the 2000 debacle they had the power of incumbency behind them. All they had to do is use smoke and mirrors to convince enough people that chimp was presidential. But that's if you believe everything was on the up and up. But nothing with the bush clan is.

[Redleg]

23. Exactly.

What a bunch of friggin' drama freaks. The sky is falling! The sky is falling! I'm leaving the Democratic party! The Dems no longer represent me! Blah blah blah blah blah.

If it's so god-damned bad, then why are you wasting time at DU? Hit the streets and start a revolution!

[Maddy McCall]

30. LOL! No Doubt!!!

"Hit the streets and start an revolution!" LMAO!

Some revolutionaries...sitting behind the security of a computer, typing their fingers off, criticizing MY party and MY candidate.

How rebellious! :toast:

[Redleg]

36. Shouldn't you be working on your dissertation instead of fooling around

at DU? LOL!

[Maddy McCall]

49. I start Monday! Can't wait to begin!

If I were a sociologist, I'd write it on DU. LOL!

[Redleg]

52. Excellent! I hope you enjoy the process.

I am finally getting around to submitting parts of my dissertation for publication.

[Maddy McCall]

54. I have a book review for publication due next week...

gotta close this laptop and get movin' :-)

[Hobarticus]

32. Can't wait for some of these armchair politicians to declare

THEIR candidacies.

[JohnKleeb]

38. That will happen when I get in to Harvard :)

[Maddy McCall]

39. I'm with ya. Yep, even if it's for school board member...

come to think about it, I wonder how many of them have even taken the time to go to their own city council meeting. :shrug:

[JohnKleeb]

41. No they come to criticize

Hey you know what I noticed since I fled GD, I never see "IGNORE" anymore :).

[JohnKleeb]

34. perfect copycatting oppertunity

"No one likes Kerry" goddamnit I hate that shit so fucking much.
If I wanted to, I would go in to GD now and post "No one likes you" all you do is complain.

[Redleg]

40. You go first! I'm staying out of GD for my own sanity.

LOL

[JohnKleeb]

42. I am not looking forward to going back

Hey I was the genius who copycatted "Can we start bashing Kerry now" for that I got a lounge legion of honor.

[Maddy McCall]

43. No fucking way! There is a "No one likes KErry" thread over there?

Jezus K. Rist! Those fuckers need to get a grip.

[JohnKleeb]

44. Yep Xana already is on it

Its so stupid. People are so damn touchy over there, people act like the dems are our enemy, and I hate that. God, I am glad they dont know I am gonna be working for the highest dem on appropirations in the second semester.

[JohnKleeb]

45. ha great counter

[JohnKleeb]

46. Ok I went in

[Alan Smithee]

47. I lurk there and feel dirty.

Much nicer in here.

[Maddy McCall]

50. Welcome, Alan.

I promise, it will calm down after the inauguration. Welcome to DU. :toast: :beer:

[Alan Smithee]

51. Thanks!

I think I'm going to stay in the lounge until I get up the courage to post in GD.

Much friendlier in here.

[JohnKleeb]

53. Damnit why cant we block GD all together, its fucking annoyin

[Lone_Star_Dem]

55. I ran for my sanity from GD a few weeks after the election.

I hardly ever go back now. I finally peeked in a couple of nights ago and there was yet another thread saying how they hate my kind (people from Texas). I closed the door and locked it after that.

Screw 'em, that has nothing to do with intelligent political conversation. If I wanted to read blind ignorant hate I'd go to Freeperville.

I now reside in the Lounge. Ahhh, the sanity. :)

[Maddy McCall]

56. I LOVE TEXANS!

I is one! :7

Born in San Antonio, and have lived (and loved and lost) all across the state. :-)

God bless Texas! :toast:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

57. You just proved the point I always tried to make over there.

We're not all freaking inbred morons down here!

Here's to yet another Texan who knows how to vote! :toast:
