4. Hi, Moonbeam.

I'm a "grandfathered" Ag, my husband is the real deal. I'm class of '80, TAMU-CC now; husband is class of '84.

The game isn't televised at all, even on pay per view today. They are hot this year. I'm listening on the radio. Husband is out at his parents with the kids. I can't even reach him on his cell (no service there).

Whooooooooop!!!! Ags score! Gotta get the extra point!

2. Yo!!!!

I'm here listening to the game and screaming at my computer!!!!!

3. You still live there???

What's it like to be an Aggie Dem nowdays? It was rough back when I was there. Very rough. Very, very rough. Did I mention it was rough?

We had special hand signals to identify ourselves to each other.

I hope it's better now. I hear it is a bit better.

6. I live about 140-150 miles from College Station now.

CS is becoming more liberal as it gets bigger and more academic in liberal arts, but it is still largely conservative.

The Eagle refused to endorse Bush last weekend! Even with the freakin' Bush Library there and a big street named after Poppy, they wouldn't endorse the MOFo.

7. WHAT???

So who did they endorse? Or did they just not endorse anyone?

OMG, that is awesome! The Bryan/College Station Eagle not endorsing bush. Yee-fucking-HA!

I understand the Aggie Dems have about 350 members now and a strong organization with a lot of visibility. When I was there, Aggie Dems had exactly NINE members, no shit.

Too many of us were scared to join!!!

9. They wouldn't endorse Kerry, but couldn't bring themselves

to endorse Chimpy. It was last weekend's editorial:

George W. Bush was such a good governor of Texas because he surrounded himself with truly outstanding people and listened to their advice. Once he became president, however, he surrounded himself with extremely conservative and hawkish men such as Donald Rumsfeld, John Ashcroft and Dick Cheney. Unfortunately, President Bush chose to listen to them to the exclusion of more moderate voices, including Secretary of State Colin Powell. And now the president is unwilling to say that perhaps some things could have been — should have been — done differently. We all know the problems we face, even if President Bush is unwilling to acknowledge them.

That said, we have no clue whom John Kerry would listen to if elected. He and his vice presidential candidate, John Edwards, don’t seem to have a particularly close relationship. We do know that Kerry is one of the most liberal members of the Senate and most likely a Kerry administration would echo his philosophies, but we just don’t have a clue.

This election seems to be shaping up as an anybody-but-Bush, anybody-but-Kerry race.

This country deserves better. The Eagle cannot recommend either President Bush or John Kerry for president.

I'm in Victoria. When we voted in the 1994 midterms, there were 500 votes cast in our precinct. Only four, including me and my husband, were cast for Democratic Party candidates! So I feel for you, only having had 9 members in your Ag Dem Club. I have a Kerry sticker on my car, but no yard signs. The newspaper has a LTTE today from someone whose K/E yard signs and bumper stickers have been vandalized.

10. welll

It is getting better but it is still really bad. Some idiots want to fight you if you don't like GWB. Hell, I went to the mall today and there were shirts and life size posterboards or whatever they call it of the man.
