What's DU like under a Democratic Admin?
Having only found DU during the Reign of the Chimp I was wondering what it's like around here under a Democratic administration, is it more friendly - or is there more to argue about because the "preaching to the choir" thing is out the window. Do the hard lefties and the middle ground folk have blistering arguments along the lines of "XYZ is just as bad as the repub" "you sound like a freeper" etc etc Are there more posts or less?

7. Even if we win in November there will still be a lot of work for DUers!
Then we have to take back the Senate and the House and get the DeLays and Lotts out of our new President's way!

8. No one knows...
Maybe we will be like the freeps, and start making fun of Hastert & Lott & start a vendetta against Laura..:)

Somehow I think not.. I think we will still be putting pressure on..but we will be decent enough to pressure our own as well :)

Somehow I cannot see any of us excusing and/or lying about the shortcomings of our own..

13. I can't wait to see how it turns out
We should know some time this year how this community will progress as we move back to a duly elected Democratic President. I think there will still be a lot of evil in Congress, so there will plenty to bitch about. The happy event though will be that our goal of taking out the lying, cheating, thieving, warmongering AWOL son of another lousy President will be so SWEET.

Stay the course and keep your eyes on the target. Take our country back in '04!!

14. I get the feeling that if you criticize a Democratic administration...
...then you'll get a warning from the administrators.

17. I expect it will be an ugly pit of vicious infighting...
...sort of like now, but with less focus. Let's call it Free Form Flaming.

19. We DUers will keep the fraudulent Dems at bay. Meaning we will be a part
of the effort to constantly improve the system/gov't. If it works of private enterprise, it should work here.
