for those afraid to go onto Discussionist be advised Liberals/Dems are making a very good show of

.. it over there -- giving as good as they get. We could use some support over there. All you gotta do is answer a poll:


Who will get the blame if the Department of Homeland Security is shutdown next week?

If you would like the proper people to get the credit in this poll, you better get over there and vote.




here's another good post (neither of these posts are mine) with considerable 'debate'. THe Dems/Liberals are definitely holding their own on this one too. Of course, any support anybody would like to add would be appreciated.

Preaching to the choir gets old. Also communication can get strained even at places like DU when the same type of dogmatism that is found on right wing sites dominates discussions.

I voted. Thanks for the link.

People are free to argue and even just express opinions there that juries would hide here sometimes only because of the person posting. And I do see progressive points made and often agreed with by people you'd never expect.

It is what you make of it, and I admire all those who are trying so hard.

I looked at it once or twice, it's redundant, much like many other sites on the net. That's boring.
