11. Or even, "Gonna stand my ground..."
"...won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
Gonna stand my ground and I won't back down..."

Time for all of us to do just that, I believe. Let's fire off the phone calls and the e-mails,and make our voices heard. That's what DEMOCRACY is all about - by the people, and for the people. For ALL of the people.

2. I feel like it's the first time DU is back to its old self since the primaries.
United in fighting against bad neoliberal policies. If being a Democrat doesn't mean that anymore, than being a Democrat means nothing.

9. Agreed. It's like DU of old - Vibrant, lively and thought provoking.
I missed that during its 'bland' period.

12. Consider that
not recognizing it at this stage is a fantastic incentive to find more creativity and use it whenever possible.

I mean, adaptation is creativity in a basic sense, so, being adaptive and opening-up possibility might turn-out to be transformative both personally and as part of your contributed effect to what's going on around you.

You may have hit on a point that is well worth reiterating if change inspires more change FROM us and not just being inflicted upon us.

19. Reminds me of the run up to the Iraq war. Again, where were most Democrats then?
Voting with the republicans (minus ron paul), of course. Other than kucinich, they were all lapdogs/neocons in liberal clothing.

20. k&r for the sentiment expressed.
But frankly, the U.S. has always been a nation of the rich, for the rich, and by the rich. FDR was the exception, not the rule.

I agree, though, that DU is responding appropriately.

21. lol, nice fake out
I expected the normal "I can't believe how much DU is attacking Obama! Why aren't more Democrats happy about the Obama/Bush tax cuts for rich deal?" :cry: threads that have popped up lately (coordinated?)

I agree, DU has been at its best lately.
