I see a lot of new members posting. Methinks this is a very good thing.

1. Yes. We frequently have new members when the Republicans panic.

Not all of them last.

[zonkers]

4. Ahhhh. Nevertheless, some of the posts I read seemed awfully sincere.

[Iris]

2. eh. . . it makes me have to watch my manners! n/t

3. Just be on the lookout for "concern" posters

Those claiming to be Democrats/liberals but are oh so concerned that the dumb dems are blowing it.

The concern posters are all over the left side of the web these days trying to provide cover for BushCo.

5. Yes ... it is

9. Welcome to DU Red Zelda

DU is fun place and a great learning experiment, but always be alert. Rightwing straw men are all over the web.

10. Right wing straw men?

Naaaah ... RWers can't even read.

12. Not worried if people don't agree with my posts

In fact would worry if people always did.

But when someone expresses concern that Democrats are hurting themselves by standing up for Democratic ideas, then I wonder which side that poster is on.

[aquart]

23. I always thank them for their concern.

[Arugula Latte]

13. How sweet of them to be so concerned about us!

They have our best interests at heart and just really want us to watch our Ps and Qs because, gosh, we don't want to come across as angry or not welcoming of moderates.

:rofl:

[skipos]

11. As long as they don't try to discourage people from voting Dem

in November, I am cool with them.

14. another new one

HI.I've been lurking for a couple of years and finally signed up.Looking forward to sticking my two cents in on the best progressive site on the web.

[AtomicKitten]

15. woo-hoo

and welcome to DU

[Tyo]

16. I'm fairly new here

And I spend much of my DU time talking about the Gay Agenda, which I define as freedom and equality for EVERYONE. :grouphug:

[aquart]

24. Damn straight.

Welcome, Tyo.

[kellenburger]

17. I don't consider myself new....

...because I lurked a loooong time before I finally got
fired up to post.

I usually don't feel the need to add my 2 cents
worth. Mostly because I can't put it into words
as well as the other posters.

As far as my politics I'm a yellow dog Democrat....
a bleeding heart Liberal who wishes we could house the
homeless, feed the hungry and educate everyone.

I read so many posts here at the DU and I'm filled with hope.

It's nice to know there are other intelligent people out there.

Thank you all. <end 2 cents :hi:

[BeFree]

21. Shoot,

That was worth more than two-cents.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What's nice about DU is we can "let it all out".

Everyone is important, after all, that's the real meaning of democracy.

[GoneOffShore]

22. Welcome to DU

It took me two years to make it to 1000 posts.

Mostly because others said it faster or better or faster than I did.

(If I post at work, Mrs. GoS gets on my case.)
