I am a late comer to this board. I just wanted to say thanks. |
|
I really appreciate the vast amount of information that this board provides. It is like a giant clearing house. Its thousands of members bring information to a central location that I would have never been able to gather by myself. I will be checking in daily, because Obama will require our continued support to recover from the mess the Bush administration has left our nation in. I have always been a Independent, but I registered as a Democrat and will continue to support the Democratic Party until they plow me under. Thanks again. I only wish I had got here sooner. Today, I am in a transportation pool to assist old farts like myself if they need a ride to the polls.

5. I agree. I found this board when Pat Buchanan wrote his screed on AAs place |
|
in America. Someone had posted the entire message here and the link was in an article I was reading.
I've checked back here weekly, sometimes hourly, through the primaries and now the general. It has been good to see the difference Democrats have in ideology.
I hope this will become a clearinghouse of information when it comes to what an Obama administration is fighting for and against in Congress and in the world.

7. Hoping that you'll chime in |
|
as the wisdom that comes with age is a kind of wisdom we all need to heed.
And thank you for your efforts on behalf of other voters; having witnessed blatant racism, thuggery, and disenfranchisement in a NC senate campaign against Jesse Helms while doing what you're doing today, I know full well how important it is.

I live in a red zone outside of Cleveland and I deal with Republicans all day. I've heard their crap all day every day. I was starting to think I was the crazy one. Like i live in Bizzarro world where everything is the opposite. My views on equality, economy and use of the military were always wrong (how I am wrong 100% of the time I'll never know). I put Democratic Message Boards in google one day and DU popped up. WOW... Thanks everyone for making me feel normal.

11. I am soooo glad you are here! |

Welcome! Yep, we need to stay on top of things and encourage the younger people to do the same. Transparency is my buzz word moving forward. :)
Godspeed to Obama, to you, to all of us today.

17. Welcome, Olegramps!!!! I myself am an Independent who supports Obama! |

I've belonged to DU for years. It seems you have discovered what I discovered long ago about DU: for all its faults, the posters here are some of the most knowledgeable people about politics that exist in the country. If you want to know the real scoop on a story, or the latest info on anything political, get the right link, or the best Youtube video, DU's your site!
:hi:
