Anyone need a ride from Boston area to DC Rally? Leaving late 5/30 returning

[elixir]

5/31 evening. Let me know.

[AllentownJake]

1. Can you pick me up in Philly?

I have my Follow the Rules poster all ready to go.

[elixir]

2. Sorry I don't think so. I don't think we'd survive the car ride.

[greguganus]

3. You could get one of those fences that would separate you from the back seat. n/t

[AllentownJake]

4. I'll give you a Yes We Can

T-shirt for the General Election :-)

[elixir]

5. Sounds good. Just like a Mike Dukakis bumpersticker, it will get top

dollar on Ebay.

[AllentownJake]

6. Smile

Are you rooting against a democratic win in November.

I know you aren't doing something that silly.

[elixir]

27. I'm looking for riders to the DC rally. Preferrably not Obama supporters, although

you seem like a very nice person.

[greguganus]

37. I hope you didn't rent a passenger van. n/t

[Kittycat]

48. Come on Elixir

If you pick me up in Chicago, I'll direct you past Hillary's childhood home, before we stop off at Obama HQ to pick up buttons :)

[AllentownJake]

74. It be fun

I'm great on road trips. We could not talk politics on the way down get out of the car than start shouting at each other and waving signs at each other as soon as the doors open. We might even get on CNN.

[Barack_America]

23. Me too!

I thought the same thing, lol.

;)

Man, I'd love to go and witness this, but alas, it looks like I'll be working on Saturday.

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

7. Sure, I need a lift.

Here's the directions:

From I-95 south, take the Cluesville exit and turn right onto Hypo Avenue and continue for far longer than you ought to, until you reach the junction with Critical. At Hypo-Critical junction, turn right. IMPORTANT: DO NOT turn left at Hypo-Critical Junction. This will lead you to Insurmountable Delegate Lead Way and a neighborhood full of latte liberals, college students, and black people, any of whom might vandalize your car or steal your coffee. Anyway, after turning right, go about a mile and turn right again onto Failure avenue. Be careful, because Failure Avenue dead ends at a cliff and if you're not careful you might drive over it. From Failure Avenue, turn right again onto Hypo avenue and drive back to the I-95 onramp. All of this driving in circles may seem pointless, but I assure you it is not, though I can't exactly say I know what the point is. Anyway, just before the onramp, turn left onto Delegate Way. The address is 2025. Look forward to seeing you!

[mckeown1128]

8. Funny!!!!! lol nt

[my3boyz]

9. Hahahahahahaha! nt

[BeyondGeography]

11. Deadly

:rofl:

[quantass]

20. That's pretty good! Very funny

[Tatiana]

22. Damn... that was funny.

:rofl:

[elixir]

28. Sounds good. Will you be the one wearing the empty suit?

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

33. No, that's my neighbor Johnnie Mac.

He's been a little bit funny since he came back from 'nam. Howls at the moon, shoots inanimate objects, chews on bedposts. That kind of thing.

[greguganus]

36. Please tell me he doesn't dodge imaginary sniper fire!!! n/t

[DeeDeeNY]

29. Excellent post.

:applause:

[elixir]

44. Thanks for the great laugh. Don't choke on your cheetos. 5,4,3,2,1...

[Kittycat]

..

Very creative, LOL.

[SwampG8r]

63. snap

[jsmirman]

76. Best post I've read this month. Brilliant!

well done

:yourock:

[windbreeze]

79. This was great....thank you....n/t

[ruby slippers]

94. you forgot to tell them that there are a few bumps in the road along the way, though.

[yourguide]

10. Can you drop by and pick up my pots and pans for the protest?

[nomaco-10]

12. May not be room... what with all those rotten oranges and...

dirty sneakers. So much to do, so little trunk space....

[yourguide]

15. they can put the rotten oranges and dirty sneakers IN

the pots and pans not only saving room but on medium heat it will make nice starter for some humble pie perhaps?

[Barack_America]

25. Did we ever figure out what the hell the shoes were for?

I certainly hope it's not supposed to symbolize Michigan in some way. I'm assuming the oranges symbolize Florida.

[Spazito]

39. I hope you get an answer on the shoes thing...

I can't figure out that one at all and have seen nothing posted that explains it.

[nomaco-10]

49. Each pair of shoes is supposed to represent a hillary....

vote, a disenfranchised voter in their opinion, in both fl and mi.

[Barack_America]

60. Wow. That's pretty lame.

You know all of those oranges and shoes are just going in the trash.

What a waste.

By the way, what are the oranges for?

And thanks a lot for the info! That's been driving me nuts!

[SwampG8r]

66. no they wont

dean said they will send it all to charities

[SoCalDem]

13. Pot & Pans??? Cool,, I have a sink full of dishes..drop by on your way

and wash 'em up :)

[Aloha Spirit]

14. No, but I look forward to your report on Monday! Be sure to take photographs, and

don't trust anyone. The scene will be loaded with crazies, I'd imagine.
Good luck.

[frickaline]

16. Oh, grow up people

He/She makes a nice offer to other supporters of his candidate. Sure, it's not your candidate, does that give you the right to spam his/her thread with these cheap shots?

Seriously, grow up.

[yourguide]

19. Seriously?

This is about the rules and the dem party, not an individual candidate. The protesters are going specifically in support of two states that broke the rules for no noble reason, just their own puffed up sense of importance...when did we start defending that?

[frickaline]

21. because he believes in it and that's his freedom

I'll defend anyone's freedom to belief. That's America.

[yourguide]

24. Well, I will defend the right to free speech and freedom to belief as you say but..

It gives me and everyone else here the right to question that belief, especially when it involves true fairness.

[frickaline]

26. questioning is one thing, but that's not what was happening here

Fair questioning I'd support. But we both know that's not what this was.

[yourguide]

47. You are correct...

I was indeed mocking the concept of defending this garbage.

[JVS]

30. There are people who believe in protesting abortion clinic, you don't see them carpooling here.

[frickaline]

31. They aren't democrats. Clinton supporters are no matter how you wish to spin it.

[JVS]

32. Some abortion protesters are democrats.

[frickaline]

34. Let the spin begin

Are you going to try to convince me now that Pro-Life is a Democratic view?

[tammywammy]

92. Are you ignorant to the fact that there are pro-life democrats?

[elixir]

42. Does that mean you'll join us in DC?

[yourguide]

46. Why would I? The states broke the rules, period.

Don't forget to bring your pots and pans.

[frickaline]

50. No not me either, I respectfully disagree with protesting this.

But enjoy your trip.

[AllentownJake]

71. This is GDP

and its 80% Obama supporters. Posting this in here is an invitation to snark. The OPs know that.

[cali]

17. Why post this here? Let me tell you why: To shit stir and/or

let folks know that you're going to the hilly demonstration. Were you seriously trying to enlist riders, you'd post this in the Clinton forum here or at some hilly forum elsewhere.

I hope you'll conduct yourself with some dignity and refrain from trying to disrupt the meeting itself.

[elixir]

35. Ah, Cali. How could I forget the sweet, dulcet tones of your honey spun prose...

it brings back such sweet memories. Where did we go wrong? I think it was the bittersweet juxtaposition of ethical pleas and slanderous epithets that first caught my eye. I can remember those good times just like they were yesterday, your requests for people to be respectful of your "candidate" while asking them to STFU and go fuck themselves. Ah, it feels good to type it on the keyboard. I guess I'll never know why it didn't work out...it must have been me, I'm so selfish, never wanting to share.

[SeaLyons]

40. ....

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

:hi:

[cali]

43. typical. just make crap up and blithely expect not to get called on it.

no, I don't tell people to STFU or go fuck themselves. Nor am I asking anyone to be respectful of Obama. I recognize that most hillbots are emotion based rather than reason based, thus I don't attempt to reason with them.

Noticed you couldn't explain why on earth you'd post your OP here if you were really looking for riders.

[elixir]

61. Hey, Cali. I posted here because I wanted to get responses, hence,

the four to five Hillary supporters, good folks all around, that responded to my enquiry. Last time I looked, the name of this board is Democratic Underground, and I, being a good Democrat, am seeking like-minded Democrats who understand that ignoring the voters and delegates of FL and MI is not the way to go into Denver or November. If you want to change the name of the board to Obama Underground...oh, oops, sorry... it already has. My bad.

Best of luck and I'll always remember the good times.

[Richard Steele]

18. "Leaving late"? That's a fucking understatement. You'll need to get that DeLorean up to 88mph!

[yourguide]

55. Yeah, they are leaving about 5 months too late.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

38. The Comments In This Thread Are Funny...Not Enlightening But Funny

PEACE

DSB

[elixir]

41. Does that mean you want to join us in DC?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

45. I Have A Ninety Year Old Mom Who Is My Sole Responsibility

I don't think she's up to the trip but she and I voted for Hillary in the 1/29 FL primary...Actually, we voted earlier...

I am tired of all the infighting here...It wears on the body, soul, spirit, and psyche...

I will vote for Obama in the Fall but it won't be with a lot of enthusiasm...

Anyhow, have a safe trip...


PEACE

DSB

[1awake]

53. I may

I hear most of the protestors will be women. And.. I'm currently looking for a prospective future Mrs. 1awake.. those seem like my kind of odds.

Sorry fellow Obama supporters.. love interests come first.

:woohoo:

[SwampG8r]

68. yes

at least with this one you can judge how deep the dysfunction runs

[1awake]

70. lol, nice. n/t

[Why Syzygy]

73. Obama asked his supporters not to protest. Over your head, I know.

[hokies4ever]

51. I need a lift

{but I'm an Obama supporter, so you probably don't want me to come :rofl:}

[democrattotheend]

84. The campaign asked us not to protest

But we are doing a bunch of voter registration drives in Virginia that day. Did you get a ticket to the meeting? If not it's probably not worth making the trip to DC...go to a college town in New Hampshire and do voter registration instead.

[Beacool]

52. Thanks for the offer.

I'm driving from NJ. There are buses leaving earlier on Friday from NYC, but I'm busy at that time. So, I'll be driving down with some other supporters.

You live in Boston? It's a great city, love to visit it. Last time I stayed at the famous Parker House Hotel.

Have a safe drive!!!

P.S. It's best to ignore the Obamanites.

[democrattotheend]

83. I'll be there, but I guess you want to ignore me

I got a ticket to the meeting so I'll be there. I'll probably be wearing an Eggheads for Obama button like the one in my signature, so if you see me feel free to say hi. I don't bite, I promise! I just think it would be cool to meet other DUers in real life.

[Beacool]

85. I wouldn't ignore you if I saw you.

I'm against Obama and some of his supporters who are so hateful, you don't seem to fall in that category. If I see someone with that button I will ask if it's you.

Have fun at the meeting!!

[democrattotheend]

91. My mom is driving down from NJ also

If it were me I'd offer to carpool to save gas but I don't know how she'd feel about it. She usually gets along with everyone but she's a little agitated about all this right now. Some of my coworkers are Clinton supporters and my job requires me to work toward the election of whoever our nominee is eventually, so even though I am passionate about my candidate I have tried not to become too sour on Clinton because I may have to work for her if she is the nominee. Sometimes her campaign tactics make me mad but I don't hate her as a person. If she does eventually drop out I'll probably be a little sad. When she shows her softer side she tugs at my heartstrings and makes me feel guilty for not supporting her. But then when she goes into her "macho" mode and seems willing to win at all costs it turns me off. But I still think she'd be a much better president than McCain, and I don't hate her.

[Beacool]

96. That's kind of you.

I wish I could feel that way about your candidate, but I dislike him too much.

Sorry.........

:hi:

[grantcart]

88. can you wear a red scarf or something so we can look out for you?

[Kittycat]

54. Dearest Elixir...

It may not have been your intent, but this is one funny thread. Comments from both sides of the aisles are zingers (noting you got a great one in yourself). It's nice seeing that we can take the slides with a smile and laugh now and then :)

[elixir]

56. Kittycat, isn't it funny how simple things like these can help lighten

the air? So, I take it you're not joining us? :)

[nomaco-10]

58. self delete wrong post.. n/t

[slinkerwink]

57. Actually, the meeting is on 5/32

[elixir]

62. So it took you that long to think that one up?

[slinkerwink]

75. well, you guys sure do love your fuzzy math

[Max_powers94]

59. You all are going to look like fools

[elixir]

65. I'm so glad to hear that you'll be watching. I'll be the one in the Obama For Dogcatcher Tshirt.

[nomaco-10]

64. Anybody Going to South Dakota or Montana this Weekend?

I really really really want to vote again. See, hillary won my state in the primary and I don't think it's fair. Maybe we could hit one for an early vote and then jot on over to the next state before the polls close.

That wouldn't be breaking any rules, would it?

[elixir]

67. My point exactly. No revote in MI/FL needed, just count them as they stand. Thank you.

[nomaco-10]

69. Maybe they could stand if I got 1/8 for each one. n/t

[iconicgnom]

72. I guess it doesn't bother you that the place will be crawling ...

with op chaos sleazebags waving "Hillary" signs with slogans slamming the Dem party, slamming Dem people and progressive ideas, and the MSM will be attracted like flies to shit.

Maybe after this Hillary/Rush supported "protest" is over and the vids hit the net you can point out which of the sign carrying protesters is you. You can prove that see, it wasn't you trashing the Dem party, you were just supporting Hillary, it was all those other obnoxious creepoid surrounding you, getting between you and the cameras, who made it look like that.

[elixir]

77. Sounds like a hit a nerve with the Presumptive Nominee's FB. Don't

worry, we won't bother you folks. We're just making sure that all the votes are counted and all delegates are seated.

[Bensthename]

78. Make sure to take some pics to post when you get back..

should be quite a show

[democrattotheend]

80. Did you get a ticket to the meeting?

Or are you protesting outside?

I was lucky enough to snatch up one of the tickets, which is good because I'm not supposed to protest outside.

[democrattotheend]

81. I'll be there

Not sure if you want to try to say hi because I'm an Obama supporter, but I got a ticket to the meeting so maybe I will see you there. I'll probably be wearing an Eggheads for Obama button like the one in my signature, so if you see someone with that button say hi and say that you are elixir on DU. I don't bite, I promise!

[mod mom]

82. Are you going to register new voters to grow the party or support the division of it?

[goldcanyonaz]

86. Yes, at every gas station along the way

[goldcanyonaz]

87. elixer, I wish we lived closer. I would have loved to have gone with you.

[grantcart]

89. can you wear a red scarf or some other identifying piece of clothing so we can look for

you and make remarks in the thread as we watch.

If your going to go I expect you to hold up the DU tradition of being even more obnoxious than regular dems - regardless of which candidate you support. We don't want people to think we are normal in here lol

Have fun. If you take a sign put a little DU mark on it somewhere.

And remember your not just fighting for the liberation of Florida and Michigan but also Zimbabwe lol.

[Beacool]

90. There's no fear of anyone confusing someone from this board

as being "normal"..........

:eyes:

[grantcart]

95. well the funny thing is if a Clinton DU supporter actually got in front of a camera

everyone would love it because they may think he/she is crazy but its our crazy lol

[DearAbby]

93. Maybe someone has a collection

of cow bells, you need more cow bells with those pots and pans....dont forget to take pictures and post them here...we can all use a good laugh.

Don't forget the ladies against Hussians!

[goldcanyonaz]

97. KIck!!

[woolldog]

98. I admire the passion you have for your candidate, elixir.
