4. delurking to say thanks
I tried to post this on the main GD board, but it would not let me, so here goes! I hope most DUers read this:

I will try to keep this short, as I know that many of you are very busy today fighting for our lives, our futures, and the very soul of this country. Whatever happens tomorrow, I must delurk to say a profound thank you to the members of this forum. You not only have saved my sanity, but you have done much to combat the vileness that is the reality at this time.

I am old enough to remember the late 1960’s and 1970’s. It was a time much like this, a great societal divide with much pain due to leadership which had gone horribly wrong. But this time it is far far worse. This time there is so much more at stake, the dangers are almost incomprehensible, and the corruption is rampant and far-reaching. Today we face an unparalleled nightmare.

But what I want you all to hear from me is this: Back then we learned that we could change the world by standing up for what is right through political action. So please do not give up. You can, and will, make a difference.

And you must not stop fighting the good fight. If they steal another election, we know what dangers we as a people and country face. The fight must continue. Never give up.
But please take some time to recharge first and know that you will win in the end. Right does make might, not the other way round as the sociopaths in power would have you believe.

If Kerry wins he will need all the help we can give him. He is one of the most courageous men of our time, as well as extremely competent and smart. We owe him much. But he will have a most difficult time when he takes office. He will be dismayed and shocked when he uncovers very serious problems across the board. And sadly he will of course be blamed for all of the muck he inherits. He will also be vilified almost immediately. His job will be thankless and very difficult. He and Edwards must know that they have put themselves and their families at great risk in so many ways. They must be in our hearts and prayers every day.

I have said enough for now. As we used to say when I was young: Keep The Faith.
You will prevail in the end.

7. Well said and welcome aboard!

Electing Kerry only starts the process of taking our government back. I want to thank Al Gore for creating the internets, too. You may have been screwed in 2000, Al, but I think you are going to get the last laugh on these criminals.

11. Wise words. We will not let these men down. We will give them support
and give them a Democratic Congress in 2006. The fight will not be over. No retreat. No surrender.
