DU Southern Commiseration Group

[Maddy McCall]

LOL! I'm just posting this as a joke, but I bet my southern peers would join. :-)

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

1. Huh yeah

we could bitch about our freeper neighbors.

And cry about how we can't afford to move to a blue state.

Wait, I already do that, here!

[redqueen]

2. Heck yeah I'll join.

Dallas isn't even that bad, and it still sucks living around all these bush lovin morons.

I know someone who 'doesn't believe in' global warming.

[PleadTheFirst]

5. Blue states have idiots, too.

My boss (in NJ) doesn't believe in global warming either.

Nope, nope, nope. Just doesn't exist.

:wtf:

[redqueen]

10. Holy crap

What the hell planet are these people from, and why can't they go back?!

We need a 'beating my head against my desk' smilie... that's what we need.

I know a few people like that, actually. Stupidity abounds.

[Zuni]

30. There are idiots everywhere, and they didn't all vote for Bush

I have been all over and met asshats every place I went.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

17. Just one person?

If I threw a rock, I'd hit tons of people who don't believe in it.

They don't believe in evolution or science either.

Hey fellow Dallasite! :hi:

[redqueen]

22. No, more than that

I was just thinking about the one... yeah... there are tons... I'm just lucky enough not to know too many of them personally.

:hi:

[Skinner]

3. I actually think a Southern DUers group is a good idea.

Many Southern DU members seem to have a number of issues of mutual interest.

Just sayin.

[Maddy McCall]

4. Serious? Ok then...this isn't a joke.

Let's get it going! :-)

We'll get a mission statement to ya soon. :-)

[Worst Username Ever]

6. Actually, this doesn't sound too bad.

I'm a blue stater, but I think that a lot of members from the south could use a place to share stories/angst/whatever. Plus it lets those from the blue states that think the south is made up of all republicans know that you guys do, in fact, have quite a presence.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

12. I love your username.

:)

[graywarrior]

7. Would you have to have been born in the south

or just unfortunate to live here.

[Maddy McCall]

14. If you live in the south, native or not, you are a southerner.

:-)

[WestHoustonDem]

8. Count me in!

[NoSheep]

9. I would. Even though I'm too poor for my vote to count!

Damn...that's kinda funny!

[NoPasaran]

11. I'd join

Although some people deny that Austin is part of the South

[Tweed]

13. I'm not from the South, but I'm interested in Southern Democrats

I'd be posting in the forum alot.

[finecraft]

15. Great Idea!

Count me in.

[RubyDuby in GA]

16. Count me in

And trust me...we've got a lot of bitching/crying/work to do.

I'll get this region blue again if it kills me or those damn republicans (preferably the latter) :)

[Maddy McCall]

18. MISSION STATEMENT

Forum name: DU Southern Democrats

Statement-description: A place for southern democrats to meet and discuss issues that pertain to them, as current or former residents of the South. NOT a place to come bash or post flamebait about Southern Democrats. You can already do that in General Discussion.

Ok...that's a start. Anyone wish to alter, edit, or add to this?

[EstimatedProphet]

19. Count me in

for as long as I stay in Evilland-I mean rural GA

[Robeson]

20. I'm in.

[Rowdyboy]

21. Would LOVE such a subgroup!

Next to the GLBT forum, it would be the hottest spot onthe Board!

[Maddy McCall]

23. OK. We have ten--actually more than ten. I'm going to AtA right now.

And it started as a joke. :-)

[ceile]

31. I'm in!

[Lady Effingbroke]

24. I'm in!

I live in Houston. I was talking to a lady yesterday ( a proud * voter) who doesn't care what the rest of the world thinks about America. Hello??? Ya think that attitude multiplied by 59,459,764 might be an eensy part of the reason our economy is sucking wind right about now, just for starters? *sigh* We have our work cut out for us.

[Rocinante]

25. Sounds cool

:thumbsup:

[OKNancy]

26. Can Okies come too?

not really the south, but feeling "southern" lately

[Maddy McCall]

27. I would think so.

TX, OK, LA, KY, TN, VA, WV, GA, NC, SC, MS, LA, FL,
ARK, and what am I forgetting?

[Maddy McCall]

28. WE HAVE OUR FORUM!!! Come visit!

Come visit!

[CBGLuthier]

29. How far west does the South go?

Being in Oklahoma, which was not one of the confederate states I am just curious. I think we are really the SW but I don;t want to split hairs too much. Maybe instead of or in addition to the South it should be a group of those of us who live in truly red states.

[Maddy McCall]

32. Good idea...

If someone wants to start a Southwest Forum or a Red State forum, they certainly should.

[JohnKleeb]

33. good shit

I am in for it.

[Jose Diablo]

34. I think it is past time for the Dem to take back the south

If a southern forum is organized, I am in.
