Hahaha.. just a quick stroll down memory lane... a few funny posts from 03/10/2008. Hindsite is always funny to look through, eh? :)

"Clinton to push Obama as VP Running Mate"

"Does anyone have access to any more "Clinton / McCain 2008 Bumper Stickers"

"Breaking News in New York: Elliot Spitzer involved in a Prostitution Ring"

"If you won't vote if your candidate doesn't get the nomination, the Fuck You"

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x5006077">"The Democratic Party is about to Split, say hello to President McCain"

Ehh.. i could go on.. just a funny snippit of what was on our minds last year. Obama is actually beating Hillary? Elliott Spitzer sleeps with hookers? Obama is better.. no.. no.. Hillary is. Well, it doesn't matter, because McCain is going to win. I sure do wish John Edwards was still in the race! Man, gas prices are high, and about to get worse!

:) Fun Times.. the boards are so mild now, comparitively!

1. I couldn't stand DU during that time period.

It was a terribly ugly time.

3. Yup, its much better now. So glad the primaries are over for 4 years!

[tridim]

5. Actually they're over for 8 years.

Obama will be our nominee in 2012

[Jennicut]

9. True. No one will challenge him in 2012. That makes me even happier.

2. BlackPreacherGate was just about to hit

Culminating with the Philadephia speech on March 18.

Time flies.

7. I know.. i couldn't believe the Sptizer thing was

exactly 1 year old... it seems like the whole thing was 20 years ago now, looking back. And the economy wasn't even really on the radar screen yet... crazy.

4. It makes me sick reading those threads.

It was a bad time for DU.

6. There is a lot of granite

in those threads. They were nasty nasty times. A lot of the people in the middle of it are gone and I'm glad for that.

8. I recall a thread where a guy in Arizona was telling me that McCain would win Oregon and Washington

Amazing some of the stuff people spout.

10. hey

I remember one where someone was saying McCain would win California and freaking New York! Good times.

11. I remember mine where I said Obama would win the presidency..

I was sooooo sipping the kool-aid back then. :) It sure tastes good, eh!

13. You crazy nut, you!

:)

[Symarip]

12. What about the pots and pans?

Or the hate speech from Elton John?


Good times. I kind of miss those arguments. Welp, back to my cult meeting.

17. Hate speech from E.J.?

I must have been asleep that day... oh well, I don't know if I really "missed" it. ;)

14. How do you get to this?

For me, archives end Jan. 1, 2007 and the button to the right of page 21 says unavailable and page 21 in in 2009 already!

[RoadRage]

16. Go to the front DU page

and scroll about 2/3rds of the way down.... you'll see "Archives" and then the months for each year going back about 5 years. Have fun!

15. I Came Back to DU at That Time and Promptly Left Again

I couldn't believe what I was reading from posters I thought had more sense.

Now we just argue about DVDs...
