If it weren't for Dubya...

[pacalo]

I wouldn't have paid as close attention to politics;

I wouldn't have found Democratic Underground; &

I wouldn't be aware of how despicable Republicans are underneath their cloaks of "Christianity", "patriotism", & "family values".

Disasters have a way to awaken those who seem to love their country the most. We wanted to know HOW the Dubya disaster could have happened; we wanted it remedied; & we wanted it GONE from our lives.

We won't allow it to EVER happen again. We're informed & we're vigilant.

1. Yep.

I always voted for Dem candidates, but I didn't pay much attention to politics until Dubya came along.

2. Poppy was the reason I first voted.

I didn't know a thing about Bill Clinton, but I knew the Bush Family was pure evil.

The first and (unfortunately) only time I have ever voted.

4. Your last sentence??

Keeps me out of some loops.

5. You're planning on voting for Obama tomorrow, though, right?

[DollarBillHines]

9. If only...

parole is a bi^&h.

Do it right, get it wrong...

Well...

13. I'm sorry; I know how disappointing it must be for you.

Once time is served, a person's voting rights should be restored.

I wish you the best.

3. Well I'm glad to hear there was SOME benefit from Dumbya, because I certainly couldn't

have thought of one beforehand. I would bet you speak for thousands, though.

6. Same here, I was an undereducated voter

I even thought Dubya would be ineffective and didn't care much about what happened in 2000. What happened in 2001 is what turned me into the obsessive wonk I am today and I went back and learned why what happened in 2000 was not only wrong, but criminally wrong.

7. I was always a Democrat, thanks to the impression JFK made on me at a young age, & I learned how

to use the computer when Clinton was going through the Republicans' impeachment circus show (I was HOPPING MAD), but when SCOTUS handed the presidency to such an obvious (but politically-connected) flake, I was totally on board with paying close attention.

11. I sat out most of the Dubya 8yrs..muted the TV

or turned it off...

I was a first time voter in 2008...this, made me realize why it is important to vote..Never Forget

12. I can't get enough of that video! That Iraqi's angry shoe tosses spoke for many Americans.
