So what will happen to the DU after Kerry is elected President?

[AmyStrange]

my understanding is that the DU was created to fight the Bush cabal. Well when Kerry wins in Nov, will we need this old forum anymore?

I'm kind of excited to see what happens,

1. I Hope it stays...

...as a counter balance to the rethuglican lie machine.

[slinkerwink]

2. there'll be a lot of sycophantic chanting about the Ham Sandwich...

[WilliamPitt]

13. ...because the baloney sandwich got voted off the island in the primaries

So it goes.

[Forkboy]

16. anti-baloney apologist!

3. Free Republic is still there

[HalfManHalfBiscuit]

4. A KerrySucks website will be founded

And the Freepers and anti-ABB clan from DU will merge.

[KFC]

20. LOL. the merging of the Freepers and the DU anti-ABB crowd

A beautiful union

5. Only if you think Bush* and the BFEE are going away

Otherwise, I can envision a continuing role for DU under a Kerry admin

[pmbryant]

6. 1994 will not be allowed to happen again

I hope all of us remain as enthusiastically involved in politics during a potential Kerry (or Edwards) administration as we are now.

Doing otherwise is what led to the 1994 GOP takeover that we have yet to recover from.

10. Exactly

the pugs ain't going away....we will always have to fight back.

[Pale_Rider]

7. When Bush and his cabal is defeated ...

... a more intense Cultural War will break out.

[scarletwoman]

8. Good Grief! Getting a Dem in the WH is only the BEGINNING of the fight!

The war against the corporatracy won't be over for a LONG time!

9. So, what will happen to the DU after...

...JOHN EDWARDS is elected President in November 2004?

And don't even give me that 524 fewer delegates AT THIS TIME crap of an answer.

This thing will change soon, and it will change fast.

Just watch.

28. Good for you...

don't ever let other people do your thinking for you

32. You should book mark this post

then bring it up the next time you think to yourself that you've never been this wrong about anything before.....because this is about as wrong as you'll ever be.



And then there were none!

11. Does anyone think Republicans will just go away?

We'll need DU for vigilance - and besides, we've got much work still left to do - House, Senate, grasssroots action, etc.

[MoonRiver]

12. We must remain ever vigilant against the forces of extremism

that would destroy our country. Therefore, DU should stay and continue the dialogue. Those fascist creeps are not going to just fade away. We will always need to monitor and reveal their despicable dirty tricks.

[ikojo]

14. DU will be needed even more after a Dem is

elected president. What happened after Clinton got in following 12 years of Reagan and Bush I is that too many left leaning people breathed a sigh of relief and wrongly thought they had a friend in the White House. Little did they know how conservative Clinton was and how beholden to corporate interests he was.

Some people were thrown way off guard when Clinton and the Dems worked so hard for the passage of NAFTA and GATT. Clinton also appropriated Republican language and thought in 1996 when he pushed for welfare "reform" and booted a bunch of people off the rolls (didn't end poverty but who cares if the people are not claiming government benefits <extreme sarcasm>).

Oh yes, we will need to be vigilant. We will be the movement that keeps the candidate accountable. That is what the Republican base of evangelicals and libertarians do well. They actually hold their elected officials and leaders accountable.

15. When chimp leaves office this year

that's only one terrorist organization brought down. There are many more terrorists in Congress to overcome.

[libview]

17. Do you think maybe the admins secretly want Bush

to win so as to continue the success of DU? They could stand to lose allot of $$ if a Dem is elected and there is nothing to bitch about anymore.
Just a thought.

[libview]

18. In case anyone is wondering...... just kidding.

[AmyStrange]

31. hehehehehe...

for one fraction of a second, everything made sense. Oh well, thanx for the laugh,

[movonne]

19. We will have plenty of things to do...Senate, Congress, changing

all this crap that this administration has done.

[AmyStrange]

33. Good points... (n/t)

[Meshuga]

21. DU will be alive and kicking...

I don't see DU only as a forum to fight Bush. Topics are not going to die when Bush is out.

[bluedog]

22. we still need DU

nov will the the breaking point of the Republican party...we start at our local levels in our towns,cities and states to put and campaign or even run ourselves for any opening in these positions.......isn't that how the GOP took over......work at our local levels....

[KoKo]

23. Move On.Org will buy out Skinner and Earl G with Soro's money

just for their DU subscription list and they will retire comfortably in happy places of their choice where they will never have hear the word Freeper or "locked post" again. :-)'s Elad will run the site for Move On.

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

24. All Religious Wars, All the Time!

Here's the question: Will DU be full of Christians posting threads like "Why you must believe in Jesus heathen sinner" or full of Athiests posting threads like "Your religion is superstitous nonsense you mouth breather"

Which do you see here?

[blondeatlast]

35. An enormous upsurge in the use of the "Hide Threads" feature... nt

[johnlal]

25. Lots of republicans to get rid of

We need to root them out of Congress, the Supreme Court and the Judiciary, Law Enforcement, the Governors, State legislatures, local gov'ts and ESPECIALLY the MEDIA. Lots of work, little time.

[AmyStrange]

34. Welcome to the DU...

welcome home,

d

[goobergunch]

26. We've got to keep fighting for change

Both in the Democratic Party and in the nation as a whole.

[KoKo]

37. A kick for fantasy and spectulation!

:kick:

[ramapo]

27. House, Senate, States & Complain

The House and/or Senate will still be in Republican hands unless there's a massive revolt in November. So there will be plenty to do to keep up with Republican shenanigans as they work against EVERYTHING that a Democratic President will do.

You don't think the Republicans will cooperate with the new President, do you? It'll be just like Clinton. The attacks will start the day the new guy moves into the White House.

Plus there will be plenty of whining and complaining about what Kerry/Edwards is/is not doing.

Democratic Underground will have plenty of traffic...

[ulysses]

36. it'll certainly be quieter here.
