I'm such an idiot, here crying my eyes out.

I was on boards such as they were in 2000, then came here in 2004 as a "Clarkie" only after he dropped out (hearing it was hostile here), then came on board for Kerry and fought the Kucinich puritans... And I stayed away for awhile when it seemed things were going the Democrats' way.

I agree with you 100% -- Never voted other than Democrat and doubt I ever will. (Pres. Clinton also referenced the rising tide lifting all boats -- and we've seen it.)

I guess I just thought DU was still a place where discussion boards were discussion boards. I posted in GD, not GDP -- about a specific issue -- and got hit with this crazy thing about Hillary Clinton and Gaddafi?!??

This is nuts. This is no longer a place for Democrats. I have no idea what Skinner is doing anymore.
