HEY DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP! I know you troll this place. Listen up.

131. What makes you think I didn't know that you said? Is tearing down Democrats now going to help bring

Back John and Bobby? Would they be sneering at other Democrats the way that people are doing here?

Where did I say LBJ had it so easy? Or that it was a nicer time? Made excuses?

I had to argue with real life Birchers in my face calling for JFK to be killed in the year before he was killed. I lived through the days when the Nazi party and KKK did not hide themselves, when Evers was killed in his own yard, the little girls were bombed, when the firehoses were being used for people asking to be treated as human beings. When people were being beaten and killed in my city for the crime of being black, brown, gay or just having long hair by the police.

I volunteered in all campaigns from city, state and national as a teenager before I was able to vote, and petitioned for the 18 year old vote as my classmates and friends were sent to a war they could not even vote on. Yet there are those here who disdain Democrats now in office so much, they say it's of no use to vote now. I find that repellant, when people died to give them that right across the south.

I was in the anti-war movement, traveling from coast to coast. Walked the street and met the tear gas, felt the hurt and the outrage. I worked all of those elections for LBJ, RFK and tHH and beyond that.

I'm not the one that needs to be talked down to about history, because I lived it and you assume a great deal. I quoted what was said to me, out of line.

The reason the GOP has won elections and will keep on winning is because they do believe in voting for their candidates, and we don't, from what I'm reading here lately. I don't see them going on attack, ripping each other's guts out when they see something not going their way.

If we directed the anger I see here at the GOP we might win elections. Instead we are tearing each other up and the party. So the results will be in the GOP's favor.
They are laughing at us on other websites now, and some of them right here are, reading these posts where so many are using RW memes to diss the Democratic Party at Democratic Underground.

If you want to keep on fighting with those who are going to vote for the Democratic candidate in November, and support our local Democratic candidates, cool. If people keep dissing my candidates and Democrats, like my represetatives, they might hear a few words from me on that. Because mine are anti-war, pro-union, pro-human rights and I am tired of seeing them all hit with a broad brush of hatred. If I wanted to read that, I could go to FR.

Those of us who saw how a Democratic majority can make a difference as it did when Nixon was held to account by a majority of Democrats in the Watergate era, will continue to be Democrats, even if it's passe to some.

If the current slate of Democrats isn't good enough for people, the GOP has a slate that is ready to take their place. And the kind of stuff I'm reading here today just reinforces their desire to vote. Sadly, I don't see it on this side of the aisle.

I'm tired of people who ought to be friends here, progressives, liberal and Democrats, and want to fight at the drop of a hat. I don't like the way that makes me feel, or react, as I see it as losing the country to the Republicans. So those who want to fight other Democrats more than win against Republicans, will keep up. I'm with those who want to win these elections for a better future.

I'm sure nothing that I've said will change people's minds who are looking to blame all Democrats. Minds are made up on the elections that just recently happened, with Republicans dancing in the streets and on the media. It's bad enough to hear that and to hear it here too is a bit much.
Not that you have been crowing, but you want someone to blame, and you seem to have picked me. Goodbye now.
