Has anyone noticed how this group is turning into an all-purpose forum?
We have John Kerry discussions, general discussions, election discussions, and lots of lounge type threads about the LLLs and how much the Kleebster likes Natalie Portman. Who needs all those other forums?

I like to think of this as the underground, Winston Churchill style war room where we coordinate our war against all those nutso reactionaries and left-Freepers out there. Thank goodness for this place.

9. I love/lust for many as well
My mottos are:
"Fall in love at least once a week with a new person, it's good for the heart."
And of course:
"Masturbation: it's cheaper than golf."

I LOOOOOOOVE Being Married.

11. That is going to be my ad campaign for
masturbation. Play it for the senators, give 'em an idea how to cut down on expenses.
What the hell's wrong with masturbation, anyway? Fuckin' rules...

BTW: My original campaign slogan: "Masturbation: it's what the doctor ordered." I wanted to get Dean for it, but I don't think he'll touch on such a sensitive issue now. Ohh...couldn't resist.

3. it is!
It's our bunker, our refuge. Here we know each other and respect divergent opinions. Here you can actually get someone to answer your post even when they don't want to flame you! Here we are among friends! :grouphug:

4. I like that we can talk
Without having to always be on the defensive because somebody might come back and slam you the next day. It's good. You can't fix any problem anywhere if you can't talk openly about all kinds of ideas.

13. I know. It's our hidey hole
Plus, I consider Kerry people a cut above as far as being informed and intelligent and able to see the big picture. After all, you often have to get to know Kerry before you really understand and appreciate. So I know we all bothered to take the time.

I do appreciate the intelligent commentary as well as the silliness, and the occasional "Oh my God, I can't believe what they're saying out there NOW!" threads.

14. It is a safe zone where you don't have to worry about someone twisting
Edited on Mon Feb-07-05 12:48 PM by Pirate Smile
your words, questioning your motives or just out to start a fight.
:)

edit to add - it also is a place where nobody seems to Hate Democrats. There is a segment on DU that is extremely hostile to Dems which seems rather strange considering the fricken name of the site.

civally, and sometimes actually learn from one another! What a concept!

16. I'm liking it. A one stop place for common sense Democratic talk
not the purist, freeper BS that is controlling GD: Politics and even LBN.

We can be Kerry Underground.

18. Exactly, I just had words w/ someone spouting the same old talking points
Kerry's position on Iraq hardly different from Bush.
Skull and Bones
Kerry forced on the party by the media and Iowa (that's right. It's Iowa's fault. Get em!)
Kerry flip flop on liking or not liking Kennedy timeline for troops getting out of Iraq, which obviously means he approves of the war. (riiight)

And another poster with "Kerry never said the Iraq war was wrong."

Ahem, "Wrong war, wrong time, wrong place". What, three "wrongs" didn't make the point? A couple more maybe?
