DU is being read on Capitol Hill at this very moment

[paineinthearse]

I just had two email exchanges with two different Representatives' staffers, one from Massachusetts and one from California. They are printing out certain DU threads and passing around, as well as forwarding the links.

So keep up the good work, we have more impact that you may have thought.

DU :yourock:

[underpants]

1. Eggs, was it the Eggs thread in the lounge?

It was wasn't it?

[Inland]

7. I don't even have to ask.

I can imagine an "eggs thread in the Lounge" and I hope it isn't read into the Congressional Record!

[blondeatlast]

68. I expect they enjoyed the Lounge, too, but I doubt it's being

publicly perused!

Please God, say they aren't reading the Lounge into CR...

[paineinthearse]

96. Would make great filibuster material.

Imagine that on your resume.....writer of filibuster fodder.

[FreedomAngel82]

103. If any of my comments are used

can I be paid? ;) I could use some cash.

[Inland]

140. Just one set of copycat threads is weeks and weeks of material. nt

[NMDemDist2]

82. yeah, that's gotta be the one

:rofl:

[Midlodemocrat]

85. Thank God! Finally, my senator comes through for me.

NO MORE EGGS!!!!

[Nothing Without Hope]

90. Or maybe this Lounge thread, it's Florida news so of course it's weird:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x3326012

[sabra]

2. Curious about which threads?

[paineinthearse]

53. 4 from the POLITICS forum

Mainly having to do with Dems who are showing backbone, and the one with the most recent * faux pas.

[Pirate Smile]

63. Snowflake babies?

Did I miss a Bush faux pas? How did that happen?

[paineinthearse]

83. That would be the one

I'll rephrase my statement. It was not so much of a faux pax or goof or slur, it was a hypocritical statement.

"We should not use public money to support the further destruction of human life." GW Bush, 5/24/05

See....http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x1807804

[Nothing Without Hope]

91. I wonder what the blivet** said to generate THIS Associated Press

statement:

http://www.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/05/24/social.security/index.html
GREECE, New York (AP) -- President Bush, facing an uphill battle on Social Security in Congress, worked Tuesday to persuade moderate Republicans to resist pressure from constituents and support his ideas for changing the nation's retirement system.
(snip)

Discussed in this thread:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3721897
Thread title: "Bush has just declared himself to be Dictator"

I'd like to know the exact words spoken by ** that sparked this first paragraph. It's the truth, of course, but he normally avoids that.

[paineinthearse]

97. I don't know where Greece, NY is, but there is a freeper blogger cell in

Ithica called the green turtles or such.

They were active at the time of Rathergate.

Try googling for their site.

[DoYouEverWonder]

107. I just met a lady today

from Greece, NY. I had never heard of the place before, but I now know that it outside of Rochester.

[geckosfeet]

119. Greece is just NW of Rochester NY where * was lying

,,, oops,,, campaigning for Social Security Reform yesterday. Home of Kodak etc. Lots of old Kodak, Bausch and Lomb and Xerox money in the area.

[WLKjr]

137. Oh yeah, then why are we still using my money to kill an iraqi child Gdub?

I heard this qoute on tv, and NO ONE said anything about it either. They acted like he said nothing wrong. I can't stand to listen to his tripe anymore.

[lonestarnot]

125. frozen embryos didn't know they could make such a fuss I bet!

[Inland]

3. Probably a kitten thread. nt

[NNN0LHI]

49. That was really good. I was going to post this kitten story a few...

...days ago but I knew better. It would have been pinned to the top of the LBN page for a solid week. DUers just love their kitten stories.

Man Accused of Tossing Kittens From Car

The Associated Press
Friday, May 20, 2005; 6:01 PM

HURON, Ohio -- A part-time police officer has been accused of throwing two kittens out of a car while driving at 70 mph.

Derik Wilhelm, 26, is charged with two counts of animal cruelty and two counts of abandoning animals. The charges are misdemeanors that carry up to 90 days in jail.

Wilhelm is an officer in the village of Castalia, about 50 miles east of Toledo, and a ranger for Erie MetroParks.

A man called the Erie County Sheriff's Office around noon Tuesday to report seeing a driver in front of him throw two kittens out a window. The caller estimated the vehicle was doing 70 mph on state Route 2.

[Inland]

84. Remember the story of the guy who tossed the Bichon into traffic?

They posted a picture of the dog, and it was the cutest thing, and I thought: that dude's getting the maximum sentence.

And he did. Three years in the pen. You would kill someone and get less than that.
Well, any excuse to post a cute kitten! We DUers love our kittens!

[FreedomAngel82]

105. Awww

How cute. I love kittie threads!!

[Hissyspit]

129. Free kitten in every box!

...and every thread. Kick.

[Patchuli]

157. Dare I ask

if the poor little babies survived?

I could beat the *&*(*(&&^&^ out of that pig for that!!!!!!!!!!

:nuke:

[HeeBGBz]

50. Our weapons of mouse destruction

Squink!

[Lisa0825]

143. YAY FOR THE KITTIES!!!!!!! :-)

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[DearAbby]

4. Awesome. do you know which threads are being read?

Purdy please?

[BR_Parkway]

5. That's great - what subjects? Guess Galloway mentioning us

made some other folks start looking.

[skypilot]

6. Galloway mentioned DU????

I missed that. I don't know how.

[faithnotgreed]

13. yeah. someone from scotland registered here after he heard

galloway on the bbc mention du
said he had gotten support after his senate appearance esp from a group called democratic underground

so this scot was kind enough to look us up and register to share the news. that was friday i think

[BR_Parkway]

17. even said something about our "political accumen"

[faithnotgreed]

oooh i think youre right. sorry to forget that very important point

[leftchick]

54. How in the hell did I miss that???

I hope they caught my sig line!

:loveya:

[faithnotgreed]

59. all you need is the avatar and youre all set to be president of galloways

du fan club!

[Liberal In Texas]

61. Avatar like this?...

[faithnotgreed]

64. show that to leftchick - you two may have to fight out the nomination

process.

[Liberal In Texas]

65. I'll let her filibuster it. n/t

[AtTheEndOfTheDay]

101. Far out.

I emailed him and thanked. Guess lots of us did.

[CottonBear]

15. Yes indeedy he did!

You'll have to search for the thread which mentions his comment. He said we DUers have great political acumen!

[Nothing Without Hope]

89. I linked to one of the Galloway appreciating DU threads downthread n/t

[Lone_Star_Dem]

16. Yes, he did.

I don't remember the quote but he gave us are due for sending him supportive emails.

[Ksec]

28. DU is common man.

I believe sites like Daily Kos are great, but loaded with eggheads most people dont identify with.

[chalky]

116. THAT'S IT. Thanks for clearing it up for me.

No, really. I lurked on Daily Kos for months before I wandered over to DU after reading a mention about this site over there. I registered but never posted.
Within days of lurking here, I was registered and posting. I always wondered why I felt so free to jump in here when I never would over there. You've just put it into words for me.

[clydefrand]

8. They need entertainment and information, too, in their hohum

work world.

[FreedomAngel82]

108. Plus DU is so easy to use and loads fast

I like DailyKos and the other leftie blogs but some of them take so long to load. And I have a fast modem. :crazy:

[paula777]

9. Then they will pass on our comments and names on to the CIA

[understandinglife]

18. Those folk have been reading DU since it started, I'm sure -- they...

.... need something to do given that Cheney has been making up all their shit since Jan 2001

Peace.



Mr Lucas, it happened


www.missionnotaccomplished.us

[catmandu57]

23. Yeah agent mike

hasn't had a dull day since the theft, I wonder if we've turned him yet?

[Runcible Spoon]

78. oh hell yeah! mad shout outs to our own Agent Mike!

:hi: agent mike!

[FreedomAngel82]

111. Agent Mike???

:shrug: You mean I have an agent looking out for me? Hm. Am I an American Idol now? I want to meet Simon.

[FreedomAngel82]

109. Shh!

The terrorists might be reading too! :crazy:

[Runcible Spoon]

159. We ARE the terrorists silly!

:crazy: :evilgrin:

[gratuitous]

21. Don't be silly!

They'll pass our names onto Homeland Security. CIA is mostly for foreign harrassment. Y'all excuse me, there are some grim-looking fellas at the door wearing dark glasses. Odd that; it's pretty overcast.

Be right back.

[paula777]

41. Your right, what was I thinking -

It's homeland security that will come pay us a visit. DON'T ANSWER THE DOOR!

[CottonBear]

22. Hi agent Mike!

:hi:
:evilgrin:

[Kadie]

29. LOL

I forgot all about agent Mike. LOL

[RandomKoolzip]

10. I hope it's this one:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=3324116&mesg_id=3324116&page=

[LightningFlash]

11. Be sure and tell them to get on Thomas Noe's case...

He is at the center of the Ohio election fraud scandal.

I'm sorry but DON'T MOVE ON. Doesn't anyone at all know yet what's at stake here?

http://www.philly.com/mld/philly/11489971.htm

[loudsue]

80. Edited subject line: YES!! Let them see what's at stake!

(Edited because I didn't read your post thoroughly at first! My bad!)

What I WISH our congresscritters would do is read about how WE KNOW the election was stolen right out from under us, 3 times in a row: 2000, 2002, and 2004.

Once they research how EASILY the computer numbers were altered, they'll see why karl rove was in the war room all night during the election: tweeking a state here, tweeking a state there.

:kick:

[LightningFlash]

81. Voinovich knows too....And he's opposing them now!!!

Be sure for anyone who can to mail Voinovich directly and give him support.
http://voinovich.senate.gov/

[loudsue]

87. Are you SURE?? Does Voinovich really GET IT??

:bounce: :woohoo: I hope that's what you mean, LightningFlash, and I hope he is outraged by it!

Do you know for sure that he knows they stole it across the board?

:kick::kick::kick:

[LightningFlash]

93. Yeah he certainly does. But the only way to really have it.

You really have to ask him and have him say it out loud to know difinitively. But there has been alot of evidence over time that he knows they were stealing it, and knows how the voting company maintenence men work.

Like as in here, he has consistently been paid for by the far right and its machinery. http://www.cronus.com/electionfraud

His testimony was amazing. Everyone should read and watch C-SPAN just for that.

[FreedomAngel82]

112. I sent him an Email

asking for his consperiacy theories even if he can just posting them on his website. Maybe if we all Email him!

[Pirate Smile]

12. Which THREADS?

Are they happy Sniffa is back?

LOL

[Kurovski]

40. Is it Melodybe's post where the women of DU

are ready to take on pansy-assed Frist?

Are they setting up a boxing ring on the Senate floor?

Cool! (be sure to put on an extra coat of hairspray, Bill. yer gonna wanna look "presidential".)

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3724420

[faithnotgreed]

42. noooo. no more hairspray for mr frist. we already got an ozone problem

[Jamastiene]

95. I'll have my surgery and then take on Frist before I'm

healed. I'll take on a kitten killer repug any day. I'll say "Put 'em up. Put 'em up..." :P

[Mizmoon]

141. I'm up for kicking Frist's ass

oh wait, I'm a freakin pacifist. I forgot.

Dammit.

[xmas74]

144. I missed that one but I could easily kick his butt.

I worked w/ 552's (not guilty by reason of mental defect/insanity) for five years in a state-run institution. I was not allowed to carry pepper spray or anything like that to protect myself. I was only allowed to do holds and blocks that I was taught before I began working in that unit.
If I could take down a 6'8", 300 lb man who was in for rape and murder I could easily take down Frist.

[Auntie Bush]

14. Maybe we should watch our manners and think before we speak!

Now we are not just talking between our selves and have DU's and Democrats reputation in our hands. Damn! Now I sound like Bush!
So forget it! But I hope we come off more civil than the Fundies.

[CottonBear]

19. Don't forget to spell and gramamr check before posting!

:)

[Disturbed]

24. More civil than the Freepers?

Come on, that couldn't be that difficult, could it? HAHA

[Ladyhawk]

43. The spelling and "gramamr" check doesn't check the title. :D n/t

[HeeBGBz]

55. I'm a bad Gramamr Jammer

Ask me about my grandchildren

[Hubert Flottz]

156. I'm fairly Grammarous myself!

:hi:

[Stand and Fight]

145. Actually it does check the subject title... Give it a try!

:evilgrin:

[seabeyond]

45. if someone wants to pick and chose, they

can come up with whatever scenerio they want to create. wouldnt matter how "on our best manners" we are, wouldnt/couldnt be good enough if they want to paint this board as bad

[blondeatlast]

72. "...I hope we come off more civil than the Fundies." Rational thought

and a degree of civility is the norm at DU, so that's a given.

Of course it's our very own FORM of civility, but nonetheless...

[CottonBear]

20. Wow! First Elizabeth Edwards, then Galloway and now Congress!

:woohoo:

[AntiCoup2K4]

30. Don't be surprised if Rove lurks here too

KKKarl wouldn't want to miss discussion about his precious Chimp.

Hi KKKarl :hi:

[Bouncy Ball]

32. Hey Karl

FU!!!!

:hi:

Nasty little piece of slime. Cretin.

[katinmn]

38. To King Karl

[blondeatlast]

74. Nah, his Heritage Fund interns do the dirty work.

Hey, Buffy, hey, Skipper--how were the Hamptons?

[chalky]

123. I've always wondered if he or one of his minions starts some of the more

incendiary threads just to see who'll bite and what they'll say.

I know, I know...paranoia will destroy 'ya.

[ohtransplant]

33. Congress?

Do you mean the band? :evilgrin:

[Book Lover]

25. Good and about time

Which threads, I wonder?

[Bouncy Ball]

26. Hey Capitol Hill.

Remember one thing: you are there to do the PEOPLE'S WORK.

Of the people, by the people, and for the people is too easily forgotten.

Especially in the republican party, but I'd like to see it remembered more in my own party, too.

[CottonBear]

27. Kick!

:kick:

[Ksec]

31. DU is common man

I believe sites like Daily Kos are great, but loaded with eggheads most people dont identify with.

oops thought I was posting to OP before

[CottonBear]

39. Daily Kos is great but is hard to read (text) difficult to navigate IMHO.

Not that Kos doesn't have great posts (diaries?) and well reasoned arguments.

I like DU the best, of course! DU is user friendly and easy to read. :)

[Nothing Without Hope]

92. I agree - dKos is good for posting long diary entries, but it's NOT

good for discussion or for quick overviews of everything that's going on, DU is great on both of those.

DU's greatest weakness IMO is the lack of a way to archive and browse through the very best, most important threads, maybe grouped on a weekly basis. It's frustrating the way one of the really important threads, loaded with resources and valuable comments, disappears so quickly from the Greatest page into oblivion, often when it is at its peak of interest. Too often, people have to reinvent the wheel, starting all over again because they don't know that resource-laden earlier thread is there.

Need to figure out something to do about that.

[CottonBear]

113. Demopedia.

I have no idea how to post there but that's where we can archive important information.

[Nothing Without Hope]

127. Yes, it will be a resource, but it doesn't meet all the needs.

You have to SEARCH a topic in Demopedia. Also, Demopedia will be hit or miss on what is posted there, it is not comprehensive. What I want is something that archives in a browsable format the most important, highly recommended threads so that busy people can look over a week's worth or a day's worth at a time and not miss vital information. So often people start what they don't realize is a discussion that has been already held, with links and other resources already provided - once the thread is off the Greatest Page, it might as well not exist unless it is searched for specifically.

So Demopedia is good, but it doesn't come near meeting the need, IMO. Hope something can be worked out.

[Califooyah Operative]

133. i think of

dailykos, du, rawstory, and the many blogs, sites and organizations interlinked between them are a powerful, valuable and underappreciated network, machine, resource, tool, and so much.

[Nothing Without Hope]

149. Yes, you're certainly right. I hope better organization can enhance

their great value as an information resource. As it is, the interconnections tend to be temporary. When a story fades after a short time, the valuable interconnected information and discussion basically disappears. This is the single biggest flaw of the DU format, and Demopedia cannot fix it by itself.

[Plausible]

34. Tell them not to cave on Social Security

Been seeing some indications in print that Dems may agree to cutting benefits.

[Cha]

36. They Better Not

"cave" on SS.

Stand your freakin' ground for a refreshing change!

[brokensymmetry]

47. Absolutely!

By the way...why not drop by the DU interest group on Social Security?

[Cha]

58. Thanks I will..

I was there when it first got started and then I slacked off.:(

[blondeatlast]

77. What print? The "liberal" media?

They won't cave on a slam-dunk winning issue.

:eyes:

[FreedomAngel82]

115. I agree

My grandma needs her SS and so many other grandma's!

[Cha]

35. This is grrreat!

It's an excellent way for them to see what Dems and others are thinking without sending out their poll questionaires.

[me b zola]

66. Yeppers. And you better believe that we all vote

not that our votes are counted :(

[Coexist]

37. Any word on which ones??

I am curious.

[Nothing Without Hope]

44. Galloway likes Democratic Underground too!

...so we're INTERNATIONAL stars! :woohoo: He cited the emails he received from us as evidence that not everyone agrees with the Bushies:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3697411
Thread title: “He likes us, he really, really likes us! (Galloway)”

I'm going to go through this thread now to try to find out WHICH storie sand topics these Rep staffers have been passing around!

Recommneded - thanks, Paine! Sometimes it's hard to keep up our spirits, and news like this helps. We ARE making a difference!
:toast:

[Fire Walk With Me]

46. Neat. Since no one counted our votes, it's nice to be noted in some manner

and heard by those we've sent to office.

A touch better than the religious.. I went to vatican.va searching for any sort of email contact info, and found none. I'm just interested in their position regarding Tibet, since they've announced the intention to examine ties with China.

No cigar...

[libodem]

48. I came running to DU

after I heard a rightwing talk show pundit bashing it. I knew I'd found my 'peeps'. Thank you, for being here, DU. I'd never gone near a computer and the internet, prior. I thought chat room were for perverts to talk dirty to each other and for looking up smut. Thank god, it's for education and information. I love my DU 'family'.

[faithnotgreed]

69. and we are all so glad youre here!

[Frederik]

79. Love your sig line!

:hi:

[paineinthearse]

100. I thought chat room were for perverts to talk dirty to each other

he he he :silly:

[Kurovski]

147. Sounds like the old unreconstructed Lounge.

Alas, the fun is long over.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

51. maybe Galloway will read this

dude, you fucking ROCK. Leave it to a Scot to be more American than the vast majority of our own government.

[mopinko]

52. well then

they know they are not really fooling anyone, don't they? count the f'ing votes next time, eh?

[bpilgrim]

56. round, round, get around, we get around ;-)

psst... pass the word ;->

peace

[Zorra]

57. Aaaack!

Does my hair look ok?

[Straight Shooter]

62. "Aaaaack!"

Does this post make me look fat? :7

[XemaSab]

94. Aaack!

Does this post make me look like an irreverant wiseass????

:evilgrin:

And no, your post is quite figure-flattering.

:pals:

[sarcasmo]

60. Just AWESOME.

[BamaBecky]

67. They need to be reading this! They have inflamed the public!

They ENERGIZED the activicts......We will spend the summer alerting whoever will listen..........people are going to learn the truth...one by one.....so help me God....

the truth about Bolton
the truth about this miserable war
the truth about 9/11
the truth about the Federal Reserve and the Elite
the truth about the media
the truth about the fraudulent elections...
AND THIS CHARADE OF A CONGRESS

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH AND IT'S GOTTA STOP:patriot:

[FreedomAngel82]

117. Don't forget

they just HAVE to show a photo of a cute kitten in their presentation. Gotta pull the heart strings now. Think of the kittens! Dr. Frist is around.

[scarletlib]

70. general reply to thread

this is why I love DU--its a think tank and a crucible for liberal democratic ideas. Put up an issue or ask a question here and just sit back and wait for answers and solutions.

May times there is disagreement or passionate exchanges but that is part of the creative learning process that goes on here.

I would like to hope all the smart democratic thinkers, politicians, et al are keeping in touch with what goes on in DU all day, every day.

DU is the best.

[mmonk]

71. You mean by coming here,

I'm not just banging my head on my desk just hoping to see my country adhere to it's constitution and Bill of Rights, but there's a real chance someone's noticing?

[GreenPartyVoter]

73. Here's hoping...

[Tux]

75. Are they?

Which threads?

Oh yeah, let me do a shout out to DeLay, Frist, Rev Moon, Rove, and DC "reporters".

[faithnotgreed]

76. im just going to say it: this is close to being a hit and run post

i mean us geeks are all just posting here for any crumbs like we were the science club waiting for the new star wars movie to come out

and you know im only teasing you paininthearse (hehe)

[CJCRANE]

86. Comment on BBC Radio 4:

"There are two superpowers: the US, and global public opinion".

I think DU does a good job in reflecting not just Democratic opinions but global public opinion and those in "reality-based" communities.

[Gelliebeans]

88. I am back today

paineinthearse, with a positive attitude, thanks for the hope. :yourock:


I am glad they are reading us, I hope they realize that we count on them tremendously to get our voices heard.

peace

[Jamastiene]

98. Good news.

Maybe we can get a dem with backbone to come chat here on DU sometime. That'd be nice. I've always wanted to sell that idea as an "event" for DU to have every now and again.

[Wilms]

99. Was there ever a doubt?

:smoke:

[FreedomAngel82]

102. Really?

Should I be worried? :\ What did they use? I'm glad they too can get use of this site.

[Eloriel]

104. It's ABOUT time. EVERY Dem in Congress should have a staffer

on DU daily. Period, end of disussion. This should've been going on since, oh, about Jan 31, 2001.

But I'm glad to know there are a couple of Congresspeople whose staffmembers are smart enough to take advantage of what DU has to offer.

[DoYouEverWonder]

110. Kerry did during the campaign

there were a few that I met in FL, who were plugged into us on a regular basis.

[FreedomAngel82]

120. Really on Kerry?

:loveya: Does he still come by here?

[DoYouEverWonder]

134. Oops, I meant Kerry's staffers

I don't know about Kerry himself but I know from what they told me that he was aware of us.

[DemonFighterLives]

106. Welcome to DU Congresspeople

Hi Agent Mike!
Hi KKKarl!
You guys should dump your sidekick* and stick around here.
Hi Sir Galloway!

114. Nothing against MA and Cali but some of those less blue states would

need some impacting.

131. Mass has 10 congressional districts. Not to gloat, but

here are the Mass Reps who voted for the Woolsey amendment (tell * to create an exit strategy):

Capuano

10/10, not too shabby!

[AuntiBush]

118. Hello Capitol Hill: BLAIR MEMO - NEWS OUTAGE - FASCISM

Paineinthearse: Are the Dems or Repubs? Just curious.

Blair Memo: No News - We're tired of propaganda machine.

Tired of money blown away for a War based on all Lies!

Want our troops brought home, now.

Nat'l Debt is at $7,769,000,000,000 on C-Span Live in the U.S. House right now: 11:07 EST WED May 26,2005.

Repub friends included are fed-up w/War, Base Closings, No WMD, Nat'l Debt, Social Security destruction, lies and no NEW!

And the list goes on and on.

Everyone says same thing: "We've never seen anything like this in our lives:" All ages, and walks of life.

Like they'll read this one.

[paineinthearse]

132. Paineinthearse: Are the Dems or Repubs? Just curious

Both are card-carrying progressive Dems.

121. I hope they're printing out the important stuff ...

and not the American Idol discussions or the "ask me anything" threads, LOL! :P


On edit: Forgot to mention ... Hello Congresspeople! :hi:

122. This thread is making me laugh - you guys are a bunch of goofballs

Welcome all distinguished and non distinguished guests. We are mothers & fathers, rich & poor, young & old. We are just like you, unless, of course, you're a self-serving, right-wing religious zealot whose rapture clock is ticking.

136. There are some great threads in here....

hope Homeland Security doesn't read them. :scared:

Being serious, hey Congress people - hear you are getting connected to 'we the people.' :hi: :patriot:

BTW - is there any chance we can get Sir Galloway on our side.
Maybe give him a job, we love this Scottish wonder! He's a breath of fresh air and with such great command of the English language. :loveya:

138. Is this the quote by Galloway ?

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-1624186,00.html

"I think in the United States the ground was tinder dry, waiting for a spark like this. The democratic underground is alive with the transcript and video screening of this event, so there are a lot of people in the United States who are very happy about it."
