I am outta here
For awhile. I think I have OD'd on politics and polls and what all. I find myself getting spitting mad over things that wouldn't have bugged me a week ago and it just ain't good for my karma.

13. There is a very clear rule against doing what you just did
why do Dean bashers think the rules only apply to other people?

16. "doing what you just did"

22. I didn't click your link
due to it being utterly irrelevent. The rule says not to call people out not that you are not to call people out unless they annoy you,

23. This is fun...
....it's like hearing half of a phone call, and trying to figure out what the other half is saying.

2. I'm sorry to hear that
Really, I am. I hope you return very soon.

Politics is a passion for me...I almost thrive on it, but I certainly can understand the taste you're getting right now.

Don't stay away too long. See you tomorrow, i hope.

3. We'll keep your spot warm.
Keep pushing your guy - the better he does, the better the Democratic Party does.

4. Hey Renie
I understand in a way... sometimes it's good to take a breather and clear your head. Do come back though.

5. Good luck
Just met ya, but I respect how you handle yourself in these heated discussions.

I'm hoping the rhetoric on all sides settles down soon, and we can get back to actual discourse.

Cheers :toast:

6. Renie!!!! NOOOOO!!!!
You gotta stay Renie, please!!! You're the bright spot on the board, you keep things sane and humble and make people laugh at their silliness! I always look forward to a Renie post! And Edwards just doesn't have a better supporter on all of DU, (sorry Edwards supporters, but it's true). It just wouldn't be the same without you! And really, John Edwards NEEDS you to be here!!!

9. LOL
I feel a little sheepish because my vow to stay away lasted all of about an hour. Somebody made a reference to horses in another thread and I couldn't resist commenting.

11. The Kerry manufacturing link
I made an obscure analogy between the supposed disappearance of horses and the supposed disappearance of manufacturing in this country.

14. That must have been one hell of a conversation!
Welcome back!




(notebook: renie408 has a weakness for horses. Or is it manufacturing jobs?)

20. I'm glad to see you're still here, Renie.
I truly relate, but DU needs you!

I probably won't find your horses thread, horse-lover that I am, but I want you to know:

When I'm tiptoeing through the threads looking for constructive conversations, I'm glad to see your name there.

8. Try watching Little House on the Prairie reruns on
the Hallmark channel. Nothin' like simpler times to clear your head. Or watch the Daily Show with John Stewart. He puts a giggle in all of this political crap.
:crazy:

You'll be missed as a voice of reason around here.

17. i know how you feel
i have felt like this for years,since late teens which was around the time of clinton impeachment thing. i just have to pay attention or know what is going on with politics. it doesn't really end. but you learn how to handle things and actually not to take things so seriously all the time. i say it's better to stay informed and staying wanting to be informed than just be totally out of it and not know names of candidates running.
