Can I get a witness?!! [View all]

[Stuckinthebush]

Come on now! My southern blood is feeling a good old tent revival for Hillary today! We need to shove off the hate from GD-P and get excited about our cause!

Let me give you my testimony -

Hear me now. I'm an old one. Been here since February of 2001! I heard the Rev. Jackson implore us in 2000 to STAY OUT OF THE BUSHES - but we didn't heed that warning.

We were deep in the bushes. Stuck for 8 long years. Democratic Underground was our safe haven! Our place to cry and to wail together regardless of philosophical bent.

Then we had a tough, tough fight in 2008. Clinton and Obama fought but came together as one to win it for Obama. We have come so far out of those bushes in the past 7 years. Too much progress has been made to lament the things that were not possible with the obstructionists in congress.

I'm an old, old one. While I'm old I know no better than anyone here. I've just seen a few things more.

I've seen Clinton work hard as the Secretary of State. I've seen her work hard as a Senator from New York. I've seen her work hard to make things better for all of us. She's not perfect, but she is ours and she is one of us.

I'm an old, old one...on the other side of middle age white male from the deep south. I've depended on DU to keep me sane for many years. I've seen members destroy one another...and lift one another up. I've seen us hate and I've seen us care. I've seen us cry and I've seen us laugh. I've seen us lose and I've seen us win.

I am Stuckinthebush from Alabama. From the Deep Red South.

I am a father, husband, son, co-worker, and friend.

I am a progressive, a liberal, a moderate, a pragmatist.

I AM A DEMOCRAT!

I am a PROUD Hillary Clinton supporter who knows that she is the best candidate to take the wheel of this country and drive us to the future. She will make us proud, she will make us disappointed at times, but she will lead us all - the entire country - through the hate and fear. She will be our president and she will be fabulous!

Don't listen to the hate and ignore the rehashed GOP smears! She WILL win the nomination with our hard work and support. I won't shy away from that support here at DU nor in my community. I WILL stand up for Clinton because she stands up for me and my daughters.

I will also do my best to reach out my hand to our fellow Dems when this is over. I will do my best to ignore the animosity and work together to win the GE for the Democratic Party. There is too much at stake and too much to lose if we don't win.

I'm proud. I'm for Hillary. I'm ready to go!

Give your testimony and let's be proud and loud together!
