I live in a red state and sometimes I feel like I'm the only one with a grip on reality with all these mouth breathing neocons around me.

I think President Elect Obama will be a great improvement and I get so f'n upset at people who are taking pot shots at him and insinuating that he won't make it through his first term. What the hell kind of a country do we live in? These right wings bastards are just the worst.

:rant: Rant over.

Thanks for this forum. It seems as if liberalism is actually still alive and well, just as November 4th showed. :)

2. Obviously you weren't here during the primaries.
Or you'd never thank us for saving your sanity. But welcome. You'll learn.

I found DU four days after the 2004 election, and it's saved my sanity the last four years.

6. Welcome to DU! Sosad you JUSTfound us! You've missed much!
(but there's more to come)

By the way, I'm from the former deep red state of IN! I felt alone 4 years ago, too. DU has kept me going when times have been tough politically.
