WOW - I have 200 posts or replies - OMG, I am a gabby ranting......

[Minnesota Libra]

.....soul aren't I????? There's so much politically that I've been bottling up because I've had to deal with so many ultra-conservatives that it is just pouring out now.

So bear with me guys, I'll calm down here eventually. I just NEVER want to calm down enough that I put the blinders back on. :argh: I never want to take any politicians word for anything ever again until they PROVE themselves.

Speaking of politicians proving themselves, I lived in another state but always kept up on Paul Wellstone's career and always wanted to move to Minnesota so he would be my Senator. I just absolutely loved everything about that man. Well, I got to Minnesota as soon as money would allow but not until AFTER he was killed in that plane crash. I swear to God I cried for a week and the first words out of my mouth were, "OMG, what are we going to do now. Who will speak up for us now?" OMG, I miss Wellstone!!:cry:

While I'm at it let me thank EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU here at DU for NOT ONCE putting some of my liberals ideas down and not putting any of my more conservative ideas down. :bounce: I have been nothing but TOTALLY accepted and I think that is just absolutely phenomenal.

See, I told you I was gabby.:shrug: I started out just celebrating my 200 posts and here I am half a page later and I could say volumes more.:shrug:
