My first OP and my last DU post...

[Huge Ego Sorry]

I've lurked here for years, and have only started posting here recently. To lay all my cards on the table right off the bat, I've been an Obama supporter since he announced he was running to be the president; that being said, we've torn our party apart for too long. Both Hillary and Barack have our nation's best interests at heart. We know who the enemy is, and it ain't us. We have a clear and present enemy to our democracy in front of us; and I don't give a good god damn who wins our stupid little turf war, I just want all of us to realize what's really at stake here. If those that we're fighting against win, then our sons and daughters will mired in an illegal, immoral war until they come back to a shell of what the promise of America was supposed to be; without civil rights, workers' rights, or jobs to come back to. Please, come together. Stop the stupid, petty infighting; and let the good fight begin.

7. We're going to have to. Why your last post when your first OP

is good?

[JeffR]

8. Don't worry about this noisy exchange of pixels here.

But if you really are leaving, it's still nice to know there are people out there in the real world, thinking clearly, as you do. Good luck, and good luck to us all.

9. I hope we hear from you again

Unity posts tend to sink faster then divisive ones these days, but most of us share you sentiments Donald.

And if you have lurked here for years, you know when this ridiculously long and drawn out primary dance ends, we will heal as a party - unify - and work together to win the GE this fall.

We need people such as yourself, who focus one that part of the glass which is full.

All forces need to come to bear on that war mongering McCain who is determined to follow in Shrub's footsteps.

Welcome BTW! :hi: :kick: :)

10. Will do Donald. It DOES help to have reminders.

:thumbsup:

[babylonsister]

11. Whatever. You have no idea what DUers know, have read about,

and are so angry about. I'm one of them. I've been here for a lot of years.

And godmamn it, I have my opinion. I had to own one.

And Barack Obama is my guy!

[Mobius]

12. I don't believe this is your last post

Stop whining and suck it up. DU is a web site, and people behave badly on the internet. If you are going to give up on being heard so easily, I am forced to wonder how hard you would really fight for Democracy.
It will all be fine once the nominee is official. You really think McCain can out campaign Obama?

[guruoo]

13. This is exactly how I feel about it.

Good night, and good luck, Donald.

[Pirate Smile]

14. Why leave now? We need more reasonable voices.
