Totally and Absolutely.

So how do we proceed???? We NEED to do this!!! Without delay!!!!

November 9, 2014

Hah! I remember that too.

There was a mom at our kids' elementary school who knew him socially and was a Dem supporter and she just gushed! "Oh he's SUCH a good FUNDRAISER!" Well, it doesn't make one damn bit of difference how frickin' much fundraising you do IF YOU DON'T WIN!!!!!

Howard Dean. Period. That Is ALL!!!

So how do we proceed?

November 9, 2014

YES, dammit. Screw the big donors. We need Howard back!

Pretty desperately, too, if you ask me. When he wins for us again the big donors will come back.

November 9, 2014

Amen!!! Can I help with that?

I would LOVE to help with that! Where do I sign up? Seriously! Is there a movement to get rid of DEBBIE and bring back Howard Dean? Now is certainly when we need one! She's now presided over two straight midterm drubbings for us, Miss WE-Know-Better-than-the-Grassroots. He made the midterms something to sing about.

I bet Howard Dean wouldn't have let so many states go red in 2010 - an all-important "zero year" when the census is taken and reapportionment of Congressional districts is done. Which, in 2010 handed most of the country to the far-more-shrewd-and-DEVIOUS GOP. And dear sweet DEBBIE just dozed, dammit!!!

DAYUM but I LOVE Howard Dean!!!!!!!!!!

That is all. I fucking LOVE Howard Dean!!!!! I wish the rest of the Dems loved and paid attention to him! Because yet again, he just nails it!!!!

Aw, sheshe, so sorry to hear this.

So sorry to hear this. It's NEVER easy, even when you expect it and are braced for it. Both my parents had long, lingering illnesses. My sweet dear mother-in-law too. Even when I thought I was fully prepared emotionally, when it actually happens it's STILL a jolt.

I am glad you're willing to share a most difficult moment in your life with us here at DU. I will never forget the love, comfort, sympathy, empathy, and support that heaped upon me at that time. I'll NEVER forget that. There were even some beautiful souls who PM'd me offering their phone numbers and emails. I never did take anyone up on that but it does NOT mean I didn't appreciate it tremendously deeply.

Maybe I post this stuff in others' bereavement threads in some sort of unconscious hope that those who reached out to me, either openly or privately or both - will know how much their incredibly kind efforts meant to me.

Dear God but I love DU! You guys have gotten me through death, destruction, and despairing times! I'm posting this via my cell phone so I don't know how to navigate as well. If I did, this post of mine would be full of hearts.

LOVE 'em! Basement Cat is quite the thing, I see. And DEFINITELY not to be trifled with!

Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years.
