Will DU get boring if Kerry wins?

[Kid_A]

I'd say that a vast majority of discussion topics on the boards are inspired by a seething hatred of George Bush, but once he's out of power, what will we do? There will obviously be tons of other stupid conservatives to mock, but I just don't think it'll be the same.

So it may be boring, but it will be the most wonderful boredom ever.

1. Freepers don't have that problem.

They have many OTHER problems, certainly. But not that problem.

[Phillycat]

2. Our seething hatred of George Bush is only exceeded by

our ability to fight to the bloody end with one another. We're liberals, it's like herding cats.

[swag]

3. That boredom I'll live with

[veteran_for_peace]

4. No!!!

Because we will have to hold John Kerry's feet to the fire.

[Wat_Tyler]

5. No. We'll just hate each other instead.

Just like I despise that fucker, Fenris.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

6. Naw, there are going to be plenty of asshole attacks on Kerry

Plus I'm willing to bet there are plenty of us in here that will bitch and moan because every little thing is not done by Kerry as they wish it were.

[Goldmund]

10. That's how it should be, isn't it?

Whatever leader we vote for isn't there to be adored, but to be the conduit of the voter's ideas of how the country should be run.

I'll be the first one to bitch and moan when Kerry does something differently from the way I think he should. That doesn't mean I'll regret having voted for Kerry, or even that I think that there's anybody out there who is both electable and able to do it better -- it just means that once "my guy" is in office, I'm not going to fall asleep and unquestioningly approve of everything he does.

14. You're right, but I fear it's going to cross that line

and descend into "eating our own".

7. Will you get pissed off when the Repukes vote for impeachment

On February 1, 2005?

That will keep us hopping.

The fight has only just begun.

[sweetladybug]

8. no, I'll still be around, I'm sure Republicans will try doing everything

they can to piss us off and to have President Kerry impeached

[NeoGreen]

9. No, this is where we document all the problems created by *

The next 10-20 years will be needed to fix all problems created by Bush. He broke it, we'll have to fix it.

It took almost 20-years to pay off Reagan's cold war Debt.

It's going to take at least 20-years to fix all the damage caused by the Neocon and Republican cabal.

National Debt,
Gerrymandering,
SCOTUS,
Environmental policy,
Privacy rights,
Energy policy,
and
the FAILED Pre-emptive war doctrine.

11. This crowd boring? When hell freezes over! We will have to stay alert.

Eternal vigilance and all of that..We will just turn our anger into the re-building effort!

[LuminousX]

12. It will factionalize over various topics

But that is okay. There is a good spirit of activism on DU that will help keep us focused on many topics. We are stupid if we think electing Kerry is the end of the war. We still need to moderate the House of Representatives and the Senate.

There is a lot of work to be done. We also need to help rebuild the Democratic party from the ground up. To get rid of Bush we are willing to overlook a lot of things, but once Kerry is safely in office and the first attempt to impeach him has been beaten back, we can focus on strengthening our party.

[Senior citizen]

13. DU will have President Kerry's back.

We often didn't have the dirt on pukes who attacked Clinton until it was too late to counter them.

DU will be a first responder this time, and anyone who tries to attack President Kerry had better check their closet for skeletons first.

Also, there are so many problems caused by the BFEE that if Kerry was superman, he still couldn't fix them fast enough for many of us. And we'll be on top of each and every action faster than a speeding electron.

[Demeter]

15. With All the Trials and Exposures to Come

I don't think anybody's going to be bored. Overwhelmed, perhaps, but not bored.

[ewagner]

16. We'll have a lot to do

Hold Kerry's feet to the fire

Gear up for 2006 congressional races

Cover Kerry's back

Fight off the Repub attacks

Build and refine the party structure.

Spread the "gospel" about progressive values.

and most importantly:

Make sure an illegitimate pResidency NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN.
