I'm taking a rest

[goclark]

I love BO Forum and all of the friends I have made here.

I can not continue to look at the way that the Democratic Party has been abused on DU.

If this is what "Support for the Democratic Party " looks like, I'm on the wrong website.

No excuse!

The main forums have been railroaded and it is a shame that 99% of of the posts are allowed to remain.

99% of the threads are negative to Democrats and give reasons why the "Progressive" (I'm Progressive and these people do not speak for me)voice will be heard.

They are celebrating what --- unless I miss something, without the voices of those of us that worked hard for the Democrats to get elected, good luck to them.

They need us and we need them.


The WINNERS of the election yesterday were the members of the Republican Party. They should be dancing in the streets.

They successful made us Craps in a Barrel and that is a crying shame.

Love each member of the BO Forum and I will check in with you often.

1. Take some time off, you will be missed

but you certainly have earned a well deserved break

[sandnsea]

2. Yeah, and launching more attacks

Obama talks to Voinovich about a deficit reduction commission and the subject line is "he's cutting Medicare and Social Security". It's just ridiculous and gets worse by the minute.

3. goclark... as one Democrat to another.. check in often..

It is sad, that the hard work of the Democrats is not being acknowledged more.. and actually in some cases being denigrated.

I hope this will change.

5. Well, sweetie..

I hope you get a good restful break and come back strong! Everyone needs a break..I'll be getting mine in the Fall when I make the big cross Planet move back to Kaua'i and won't have anything until my desktop is up and running.

John Kerry put it so well..

"Tonight’s results will be analyzed and overanalyzed by the punditry. I hope as a Party we don't succumb to the temptation to form a circular firing squad. It does no one any good. One lesson Ted Kennedy and I both learned from defeat is, you just pick yourself up, dust yourself off, chart a course forward, and get back in the fight."

We'll be looking forward to seeing you soon I hope:hug::grouphug:

7. Don't forget to come back! I'm taking a break from the MSM, less time here, just for a while.

I should have seen this coming.

And, ya know, even if Coakley had won, they would find a way to shit on the party.

Go figure.

Take care, come back, see ya later!

:hug:

[goclark]

8. Thanks and I will continue to post here and enjoy the wisdom

of the words of all of you.

[goclark]

9. Thanks, I'm still here just not there

in the Main Forums.

[NYC_SKP]

12. Excellent!

I find myself less and less willing and able to go there.

I love some of the other forums and groups, Energy and Environment, Personal Interests, etc...

And, unlike GD and GDP, they are like the DU of a year ago and two years ago.

Not a hot mess of loathing and drama...

:toast:

15. I also like the Health Forum

I've gotten great information there and everyone is very helpful.

11. Yeah, this place (not BOG) is the dregs.

There comes a point when the object one is bashing is nothing more than a blob of bloody goo. What purpose does it serve to bash to a pulp, then keep coming back for glory whacks? It's bordering on evil out there.

[JohnnyLib2]

13. Understandable, for sure.

I'm running on pure stubbornness and may not be the only one!

[azmouse]

14. It's hitting rock bottom in GD.

Even posts about Obama's accomplishments get unrec'd and shit on.

Unfuckingbelievable how low some will go to tear down the President and the Democratic party.

[nofurylike]

16. "I'm Progressive and these people do not speak for me" - yes!

(goes for me too.)

take very good care of you, dear goclark

:hug:



peace and solidarity, always!!

17. Thanks so much ~ I am now a pragmatic liberal

For those of you that have not read the post here from Daily Kos ~ read it immediately.

[nofurylike]

18. very welcome. i can see why people are deciding that.

i did read it, and it is very supportive - and helps!!

i happened to already be far more radical than even progressives are. and most radicals i know are also pragmatic. it is how collectivism even works.

so i guess that makes me a pragmatic radical.

thank you for hanging in there, goclark. i will too.


peace and solidarity, always!!

19. peace and solidarity, always! to you too nt
