2. DU was born from political catastrophe
Inauguration Day (post "selection") January, 2001. Many of us remember. We also remember election day, 2004 when our hopes and optimism were so pinned on John Kerry preventing another GWB*-led 4 year debacle. We've dealt with bigger setbacks than this. We may be venting, but DU will not "melt down."

3. Please don't confuse an open debate about the future of our party with Eeyore-ism. If we're going to

throw down the gauntlet, let's get the bullshit out of the way and then get things moving like they should have been all along.

Because the compromise we've been doing since Inauguration Day just hasn't worked!

Please tell me if I'm wrong on this.

4. And you helped, eh?
It's the old Shake'n'Bake phenomenon. Congratulations.

Note: My apologies for an ancient allusion to a TV ad many here never saw.

5. It melted down BEFORE the election with all the anti-Dem rhetoric here.
Now that the election was lost? Well, it's just the typical "I told you so" posts.

8. Yup. Dirty fucking hippies.
Because we dare not breathe a word of criticism against President Lieberman, V.P. Nelson, or Speaker Stupak.

Move ahead and get over it.

9. I think that new senator from Massachussetts whatsisname
...got the gay vote because of his nude spread in cosmo.

I want to see that, by the way. Does anyone have a link?

12. That would require an actual increase in freakout.
...However, if the same folks continue freaking out who have been freaking out for some time, the server traffic should be about the same.
