Reply #55: Well, I've been called a LOT worse than an invertebrate! [View All]

And yes, I get squid comments about the name. Stems from being named Mary and living in California. And now, because my kids love Spongebob, I guess it entitles me to enjoy his friend Squidward a little more!

Yes, truly. Welcome!

I, too, find it funny that some Democrats can be so deferential to rethugs. I mean, look at the way they're all pussyfooting around the word "LIE" when it comes to applying that word, so aptly, to bush?!?!? HELLO!!! What would they call it if Clinton were saying crap like this?

I'm sorry some people have been too confrontational. As a Deanie, myself, I've seen a whole lot of slings and arrows thrown at him, and I worry, too. Seems to me as though we're just providing material for future rethug attack ads, if we cannibalize our own. And I hate it.

Every now and then, we get some threads that remind everyone that it's about DEFEATING BUSH, not ourselves!!! And THAT'S where we should be aiming our wrath. NOT at each other.

Sorry if you've been unfairly buffetted. I still believe that everyone here has basically a good heart and good intentions. Besides, what intentions could be better or more noble than to want to free our country from this HORRENDOUS hostage hold we've been forced into since Selection 2000?

I also think everyone's gonna stay nervous and dicey like this until ONE nominee is settled upon, and then we can all unite behind him (yes, a male human. Carol Moseley-Braun doesn't have a chance, as much as I've found myself nodding in agreement when she speaks, and does so with such eloquence, consideration, and intelligence). Try not to take it too personally. Some people are just outta-their-minds angry about all this. Leave it to bush and his pals to bring out the absolute WORST in people, 'eh?

Please don't lose heart. You're another new arrival who swells our ranks and adds to our strength and our resolve, and contributes plenty of worthy, important opinions and viewpoints to our dialogue here. You make us better for your being part of us. You are appreciated and welcomed, and what you have to say needs to be said and needs to be heard and needs to be contemplated and discussed.

And sometime, perhaps, I shall bore you thoroughly with my own idiotic posts and tell you how I made a huge fool out of myself here one day. As Lucy once said to Charlie Brown, I think, in an early Peanuts strip - "I'm never quite so stupid as when I'm being smart!" Tee hee!

Welcome, again. We're a wild, unruly bunch. But I wouldn't spend a day without checking in here at least once! Besides, the links are great and MOST useful and informative, especially when you find yourself in an argument with a REAL lemming or "bad guy."
