To tell you the truth, it did not matter a lot to me who won the Democratic Primary.
Sure, I had my preferences, but I would have voted Dem in the GE no matter who won the Democratic nomination.

I have to admit that I have been somewhat discouraged with many of the posts I have read on DU lately. I just can’t see the point of wasting energy or wallowing in a negative I-am-right-you-are-wrong buzz-mode argument with other Democrats. The way I see it - we are not the boss of our candidates - so nothing we say will make the slightest bit of difference because, really, the only minds we can actually change are our own. And any of our Democratic candidates would be better than John McCain…….PERIOD.

But, I am very happy and relieved at the outcome.

My rage, my fury has been and will be forever aimed at those who are in power now and who seek to retain their power through any means, no matter how unlawful or nefarious

I refuse to close my eyes to the neocon reality of the damned, unleashed by the destructive policies of the Bush regime. I will not be distracted by the infectious addiction of idle gossip or the faux facts spawned and insinuated by the pig demon, Rove or his minions. I will not be enticed into vapid and negative arguments manufactured and encouraged by the corporate media. I will not become a pawn in the deceitful and demonic plan of the neocon Bush regime to divide, conquer and destroy us.

No matter how it appears, we must remember that this is not a ‘business as usual” election year. I believe that the United States of America has never been in such peril. We all know that it is a pretty bad idea to corner a rabid animal, and I submit that we are doing just that with all our talk of ‘Change’.. and it is going to get pretty rough when the truth finally filters through their dense neolithic neocon skulls into their craven, fen-sucked neocon minds and becomes a real possibility.

So, if a ‘Democrat’ withholds his or her vote in November, or votes republican to teach ‘someone a lesson’ they will be no different than the neocon brutes & traitors we are fighting against and they will deserve to share the wrath and ruin that will surely come if we lose this election.

The Democratic imperative is that we put our personal disappointments and hurt feelings aside and do everything we can to stop the hemorrhage of our Freedoms from the brazen and unashamed neocon assault on our Constitution; we must save the Supreme Court; we must end the obscenity of this illegal war; we must no longer fund the wholesale slaughter of our best and brightest; we must embrace our brave fighting men and women when they return to us forever changed and we must guard against starting another bloody, wasteful and costly war.

We can no longer allow the oil companies to gorge themselves upon the fat of profit squeezed from the lives of we the people; we must not leave the uninsured to suffer silently or to die forgotten in a crowded waiting room. We must feed and educate ALL of our children. We must not allow our once impeccable Justice system to choke on the twisted and malignant ethic of the current neocon Bush regime. We must act swiftly to save our earthly home from the almost irreparable damage done by the greedy and reckless policies of the Bush neocon regime.

We must do everything, everything in our power to see that a Democrat sits in the White House and that Democratic candidates of conscience and consciousness are elected to the House and to the Senate on local and national levels.

We DO have an enemy to fight against but it is not US - it is not each other. I pray that we all remember what the last 8 years have brought. I pray that we all remember that WE, as Democrats, are the only hope for this nation and that we cannot, we must not fail.

3. OMG! That's brilliant - thank you! You have espoused my feelings -
exactly, but so much more eloquently than I could ever manage. It's been a very long time since I've read anything actually inspiring on DU, and I truly appreciate your post. Thank you again.
I'm going to print this out and put it on my Fridge for Family Reading.

:applause:
