Newbie here...

[_dynamicdems]

Hi everyone! I've been lurking here for a while. I really love this forum: it helps my sanity to come here and read your posts.

Oh, by the way, there is a new site that I came across, that you will probably like as much as I do. You probably know about it already, but just in case:

www.poetsforkerry.com

1. Welcome Dynamicdems!

You've found a great place full of great people! Thanks for the link by the way. We have a member named Vektor who specializes in penning marvelous haiku (quite often about the Senator's ahm, finer physical attributes :evilgrin:) so she may very well be interested in this site (as will the rest of us, I'm sure).

Again, welcome on board!

[_dynamicdems]

10. Hmmm....I look forward to reading some of those...

haiku. ;-)

Thanks for the welcome!

[TayTay]

2. Welcome welcome

So glad you decided to deactivate the cloaking device and join us. (I can use that phrase. I am a self-avowed geek.)

And thanks for the link!

So, come in already, grab a chair and start gabbing like the rest of us. We are not a shy group. (Ok,maybe it's just me, but somebody around here is not shy.)

:hi:

[_dynamicdems]

11. Okay, my cloaking device is now set to...

work only Repug forums!

Thanks for the welcomes. Looking around for a nice comfy bar stool.

:toast:

3. Hello and welcome to DU!

I think I just greeted you over in another thread.

:hi:

[_dynamicdems]

12. We meet again, then!

It is difficult for me to avoid threads where there is Kerry bashing going on. I try to get out and comment on other issues, but when that red flag goes up...

[ginnyinWI]

4. ooh lovely!

Poets for Kerry! Love it! (former English major here :blush:)

[_dynamicdems]

7. I really like the one about "Inside the Bubble."

I keep going back to read that one (and to look for new ones).

[rox63]

5. Welcome _dynamicdems

Welcome to DU, and to the John Kerry Forum. :hi:

[_dynamicdems]

9. Thanks!

I used to be a proud Massachusetts liberal too. Now, I'm a proud NH liberal. I'd trade both of my Senators for either one of yours any day though. :7

[TayTay]

13. Oh, over the border.

Still southern NH? Do you think Shaheen will run again, given all the stuff about phone jamming in the last election. (And Sununu is an idiot.) Hey, that scandal ties into Abramoff and Delay. It's big.

[_dynamicdems]

14. Outside of Manchester

I really do hope Shaheen runs again. It outrages me that the phone jamming gets very little national media attention. Sununu has my vote for worst Senator ever. Wait...I remember his father.

Delay and Abramoff...just the tip of the iceberg. Huge, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it get much worse. They might be crooks and liars, but there is no perfect crime. Evidence can always be found. They can run...

[TayTay]

15. My niece has a condo in the Queen City.

And I'm at the airport a lot. (Real pretty road right now, btw.)

There is hope for NH. We did turn it blue last time. (Yeah us! I worked in Nashua, that was fun. Nashua is a pretty little town, great restaurants, and I found the Che store. Honest.)

So, now that you have outed yourself as a Granite Stater, were you there for the last primary and who did you go for? (Did candidates cook pancakes for you? Chile? Walk in the parade? I love that about NH.)

[_dynamicdems]

27. No pancakes or parades alas!

Wes Clark did bag groceries in a store in my town though. It was a general store... I voted for Kerry in the primary, of course.

Nashua is great for shopping and restaurants. I used to live there a couple of years ago. Thank you for working to turn NH blue. That is the one small consolation that I took from the election.

I guess we get to do it all over again in 2008. I really hope we can stay blue.

[_dynamicdems]

28. Oops...

Sununu Sr. wasn't a Senator (I knew that). He was Gov. Okay, John Jr. is the worst Senator ever and his dad was the worst Governor ever.

[fedupinBushcountry]

19. Welcome Aboard

the best forum on DU. By the way I have a brother who lives in Nashua.

:hi:

[TayTay]

20. You do?

We probably shop at the same Costco. Geez, you'll tell _dynamicdem that, but I've known you for months now and I never heard about the brother in Nashua. Humpffh!

Geez, you think you know a person, then you find out they have a bro in Nashua. Humpffh!

(Of course there is the little matter of me not being able to remember that Babylonsister and not Pirahna did the Birthday Cards. Sigh! Nobody's perfect I guess. At least I finally and decisively can state that WEL is from a state that does not make cheese and probably is not near Wisconsin. That only took about a year to seep into my brain.)

(Can someone buy me an Atlas? I can't find youhz guhz on a map at all.)

[fedupinBushcountry]

21. I'm sorry TayTay

:blush: but, but, but, I didn't know where Lowell was, barely know where Nashua is, only have been there once. So you cross the border to get a tax break huh ? My sister-in-law would never buy anything in N.Y. while visiting.

[TayTay]

22. It's okay.

Before I moved here I couldn't find Nashua on a map. I am one of America's least talked about disability groups: geographically challenged.

But truly, your I might have bumped into your brother when I was buying things in NH. (That I, of course, immediately file MA taxes on, ahm, honest. Actually the big stuff has MA taxes taken out anyway.)

[_dynamicdems]

30. It is a great forum!

BTW, it sure is a small world! Before I lived in Nashua, I lived in Lowell, MA.

[MH1]

6. Welcome! (and she brings gifts, too!)

I checked out that site. Lovely! And I'm not that big a poetry fan normally. But they had me at the banner. (Nope I ain't spoilin' it for you other readers - ya gotta go look yourself!)

[_dynamicdems]

8. Yup. The banner got me too!

I hope the site takes off. It is a really creative idea.

[beachmom]

16. Welcome, Dynamicdems!

I LOVED the poet site. Thanks for pointing that one out. So far, my favorite is the scarey Kerry limerick. I'll say no more so others can have fun reading that site. I just can't believe the devoted Kerry fans out there!! The fact that people are composing poems in blog speed just blows me away.

Thanks again, and I look forward to chatting with you.

[_dynamicdems]

26. Thanks for the Welcome!

My fave is the "bubble" one.

[sandnsea]

17. Welcome!

Hope you like the hidey hole. Loved the poetry site, such talented people!

[_dynamicdems]

31. Thanks, I do like this place.

[politicasista]

18. Welcome _dynamicdems!

:hi:

[_dynamicdems]

32. Thanks, politicasista!

[jillan]

23. Welcome dynamicdems!

I saw your posts the other day in GDP sticking up for Kerry. And with that I say Welcome Welcome Welcome!

Do you know the author of those poems? They were great.

[_dynamicdems]

33. Thanks for the welcome!

I don't know who wrote the poems but I'm curious. Very creative. And so liberal! Very few conservative poets, I suspect.

[globalvillage]

24. Welcome!

So glad you're here.
:hi:

[_dynamicdems]

34. Thank you! Me too!

It is such a relief to find a forum that is a safe haven from Kerry Bashing. Everyone here has such strong support for Senator Kerry. There is also so much spirit and hope here. Very nice.

[TayTay]

25. I love this site!

Who writes it. They must come and take a bow. I will check every day.

I am jealous. I wish I could write like that! (All my limericks have that damn Nantucket in it. Sigh!)

I love the teacup poem and the poem about LA and the Massachusetts liberals invading. Wonderful

You made my night!

[_dynamicdems]

35. Me too.

No talent for poetry here, but these are fun to read. The site is new and there aren't many comments, so it probably hasn't been discovered by the general public yet. I came across it by chance doing a search for Kerry news on Yahoo.

[JanusAscending]

29. Welcome, Ann, to the Kerry Forum

I usually check in before I go to bed. I'm a night owl, and an insomniac. You are going to love it here. These guys are "something else" (don't ask me what!) You will find most of here are "in love with John Kerry" (more like in lust) By the time I check in, my sleeping sedative is usually starting to kick in, and I end up having to retype every other word. After I read all the posts, I went to your poetry thread. Read them all, loved them all especially the "bubble" one. Once I get on the GD page, looking for any new news about "plamegate" and the indictments, I'm pretty well "newsed out" I guess you could call it overkill or total saturation, but I love it all. Wishing you many happy posts, and many new friends. :grouphug: Goodnight Y'all!!! Love DC PS Bookmarked the poetry site. How often do they get new writings?

[_dynamicdems]

36. Thanks for the welcome! ::laughing::

I'm a night owl too. I usually go to sleep at 6AM!

"You will find most of here are "in love with John Kerry" (more like in lust)"

Oh my. Well, he does make a rather presentable looking President (there I go again...still in denial).
