Allow me to introduce myself.

[Denver Socialist]

Hi I'm from Denver, and worked for MoveOn Neighborhood GOTV effort on November 2nd, and while Denver went totally blue for Kerry, but it wasn't enough to get Colorado to go blue for Kerry, I still mourn the death of democracy, and angry at stupid Republicans who should have a brand new meme - Credit Card Republicans, putting our children to debt for life.

I'm a poor student, living on a shoestring budget, so it's not easy for me, and sometimes I just think that we need to revolt and take over the government because it is clear that the government of the United States is for corporations, not for the people. When our Founding Fathers set up this country, they never dreamed that they would envision that businesses would take up the majority of the government, and suck the milk teats dry. That is what George "Worthless" Bush has to be represented.

Corporate personhood has to be eliminated totally, and regulated to the letter of the law. Enron, MCI-Worldcom, and many morally bankrupt companies should be taxed to the hilt, so that way, our social saftey net can remain. The richest 2% needs to be taxed back to its original level that was set by Bill Clinton. Terersa Heinz-Kerry once said that she didn't need the tax refund that she got. That was one of the richest woman in the United States. She was happy to oblige to pay the taxes as a repsonsible citizens. The rich Republicans can quit whining because they're getting fatter, and us middle-class/poor people are getting the shaft. I don't like it, and I'm an example. I can't find a fucking job other than McJob to sustain me.

I'm from Colorado, and I'm a proud Coloradan, and we were once a progressive states, until the fuckwads from California started moving to Colorado Springs and totally ruined the progessivity of the state, and my shithead governor is a shithead, having an affair with a nanny, and has a love child of his own. So fuck him if Chimp McShithead picks him for his cabinet, as long as he takes the fundy Jane Norton with him.

I'm very happy on one thing, Bill Owens no longer has a mandate. He is a endangered Republican ready to get his ass out of the state and back to Texas where he belongs.

I'm glad to be here, and it's such a comfort to be in a loving hands of fellow Democrats/lefties.

14. Yo DS

Welcome aboard. I think it will continue to be a hell of a ride ...

[Cadence]

15. Hey! Welcome. I'm in Colorado too.

Unfortunately my county went red. Fuckwads. But I didn't know Denver had gone blue. I knew Boulder would.

I actually thought that stampede of californians several years back helped us be more progressive because aren't most people in california democrats? I guess I didn't know they came in and fucked it up.

I used to be a unix sys admin btw. Redhat, Mandrake and HP-UX.

:hi:

[azoth]

16. I miss Denver.

We bailed after the californication but *damn* you just can't get over the weather and the beauty.

And you just broke my heart - do NOT tell me those bastages moved to the Springs...*sob*

My favorite place on earth. Damn, now I'm going to pout.

Hi from another newbie.
