In appreciation of our California DU'ers
Having been on the receiving end of soooo many anti-South threads over the past couple years, and having hung my own head in embarrassment over the actions of my neighbors, fellow voters and representatives, I want to express my sympathy to y'all tonight. You fought the good fight and we honor you for that.

Ironically, one of your own, NSMA, is almost invariably among the first to come to our defense when the South is getting slammed so tonight I'd like to return the favor.

NSMA and all Californians, your friends just want you to know that we're with you... and tonight, for myself, Ich bin <ein> Californian.

1. I agree
Many of the California DUers were out there in the trenches and fighting against this. They need our support and thanks, not our anger.

5. Thanks, I worked very hard on the NO recall

6. Thanks, comsymp. Appreciate the kind thoughts.
I figured that my fellow Californians were wiser than they proved themselves to be tonight. There is no longer any geographical high ground or islands of sanity amid all this madness. The battle is everywhere.

My dad was from Texas, his dad was from Georgia. I do know a bit about the South!

All best to you -- :toast:

8. Big smooch to NSMA
on the hood of her car. And little smooches to the rest of you all out there on the left coast (even those other two states out there, just for the hell of it). On the hoods of your cars.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=491693

10. I agree. CA DUers had nothing to do with this but worked against it
The vitriol expressed here tonight went way over ther top, and I can only be thankful that some of the worst of it was deleted.

Much gratitude, appreciation and support to all of our DU comrades in California.
