It took me almost 4 years to get here - my 1,000th post. [View All]

I joined DU right after the Kerry/Edwards loss in 2004. I was so despondent and needed someplace that I could go to feel like other people shared my sense of loss.

It was so different then - always squabbles but the sense of camaraderie was always overwhelming. I read more than anything - which is why it's taken me so long to get to 1000 posts.

I don't know for sure how things will go this year. I know this place seems pretty hostile right now for some, but after the convention I'm hoping the republican trolls will go back to their holes and we will be able to unite again in sharing the same goal - taking our country back from the most corrupt, vile politicians in history. Our party, which has it shares of scandals, corruption, etc., is still the closest party that will focus on the needs of everyone in this country - not just the affluent elite.

Thanks for reading and Victory in 2008!!
