Skinner, EarlG, and Elad
Edited on Wed Nov-08-06 09:00 PM by FLDem5
When y'all were sitting out in the cold in D.C., right in front of that t.v. camera, with your banner 6 years ago - did you ever think that we would take back the Senate and House, and several state governments in a huge tidal wave like this?

Thank you so much for creating this site and getting it through its rocky start.

Love ya,
Me.

p.s. NOW might be a great time for a donation drive! maybe give away little blue donkeys.

(on edit: can you please post that narrative about those first few months again? It was wonderful - and it has a lot of meaning to me right now, as a parallel to the roller coaster ride we've been on in this country.)

...but it's good to have faith in OUR America again!!!!!:patriot:

I’m gonna tell you fascists
You may be surprised
The people in this world
Are getting organized
You’re bound to lose
You fascists bound to lose

Race hatred cannot stop us
This one thing we know
Your poll tax and Jim Crow
And greed has got to go
You’re bound to lose
You fascists bound to lose.

All of you fascists bound to lose:
I said, all of you fascists bound to lose:
Yes sir, all of you fascists bound to lose:
You’re bound to lose! You fascists:
Bound to lose!

People of every color
Marching side to side
Marching ‘cross these fields
Where a million fascists dies
You’re bound to lose
You fascists bound to lose!

I’m going into this battle
And take my union gun
We’ll end this world of slavery
Before this battle’s won
You’re bound to lose
You fascists bound to lose!

Words by Woody Guthrie
Music by Billy Bragg

3. Not little blue donkeys
but the head of your favorite ousted republican. You could create your own little gallery of losers, like the hearts at the bottom of the posts for Valentines Day. :rofl:

12. I would have gone around the bend 6 years ago
without the support of like minded people at this site. DU daily restores my faith in my fellow Americans. Thanks Skinner, EarlG, and Elad. :applause:

13. This site has saved me more times than I care to admit
Thanks for staying with us. The Christmas donation drive will be so much fun. No candidates to give to. A two year reprieve from the Dark Side.


Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
