Instead of saying goodbye, maybe it is time indeed to say "Hello DU"
The very name of this site I think defines many of us and how we feel about our party, especially today - Underground.

A place where we can come to discuss the problems within our own party, and work to resolve them.

A place to complain about how those who call themselves dem act in a way we see as contrary to that which we see as the base ideals of our party.

A place to discuss, and yes even argue, about it all and try to find solutions.

If you feel that the dem party has let you down, then there is no better place to be now than here - because you have a lot of company.

On just about every issue and topic we can engage in lively debate here, there is no 'party line' to be had. There is, however, a lot of discussion to be had. Which is a good thing, and which is something that seems to escape other sites where either you tow a party line or are gone.

We support a party here (hence the name) but that does not mean we always support the exact same ideals on everything out there. We have diversity, which seems lost at times in the bigger picture with our elected officials.

As pissed off as I am at our dems I won't say goodbye, I will once again say hello :)

6. McCain has far better than a "zero chance of winning"
The fact that McCain's numbers are anywhere near Obama's tells me that there are still a LOT of stupid people out there, who don't realize that McCain is just Bush II: The Sequel.

Remember when Mike Dukakis WAS much higher in the polls than Poppa Bush? When he coughed up that lead, I realized that anything is possible.

That's why I really worry about another "close election" that could be hijacked by the Repukes. :scared:

4. I understand where you're coming from....
When I first signed on, I thought we had to go "underground" because of what happened in the election of 2000. I thought we might have to organize against the Bush Co criminals. I never imagined so many Democrats would join them?? We meet again...
