I need to take a break for a while...
I have nothing positive to contribute.

I cannot defend the President or the Democratic Party. I cannot even defend most of the opinions here on DU.

Nobody is listening.

We'll see you all later.

2. I love your posts kentuck, and many are listening...Many of us cannot
defend POTUS anymore, and I was a holdout. Weak, weak, weak. Don't stay away too long.

3. I was listening (and will be again).
But I understand *EXACTLY* how you feel.

Come back when you're ready.

5. Everyone needs a break once in a while.......
It's not your fault you have nothing positive to contribute right now. There's not much positive happening.

We'll see you when you get back. Do something nice for yourself while you take your break.

16. What can be positive when we are in such a hole. Obviously these are painful times.
Edited on Mon Apr-11-11 07:44 AM by dkf
The point is to influence where the cuts will be taken, not to be destroyed by the fact that we have to cut at all.

To think that Obama can magically create revenue to keep all the goodies Democrats have built over the years is unrealistic and frankly irresponsible. To keep what we have the numbers must work now and in the future. Studying the numbers and offering solutions based on reality is the only way to make sense of things.

17. Whether you have anything positive to contribute right now, you are a positive contributor.
Don't stay gone long.

19. I like your posts, and I understand your need to take a break.
I believe too much time on DU causes depression. I think I'll apply for a grant to do a study on it. :silly:

Have a good one. :hi:

20. I"M listening to you!
I like your posts on the eagle thread for one. you aren't alone having difficulty defending the president or Dem party. As far as the opinions on DU, they are diverse, so despite what it seems sometimes, you are not alone. most of the time I dont get responses to my posts either. If you must leave, i hope you dont stay away too long!

21. No sweats. I do it from time to time.
It can get down right depressing or overwhelming at times.

Cheers! :)

24. Lots of people have to take a break; but.....
.....don't think people aren't listening. They are. And responding. And agreeing...More than you might think. Go spend some time on a hobby you love, refresh your mind, and come back to help make DU the best site on the "nets".

25. I usually read what you have to say and agree, sorry I have only K&R or R.
You probably deserve more feedback but with so many DINOs and some trolls I don't want to get into a food fight that accomplishes nothing.

Take care and come back when you recoup.
