I know that I haven't been a member of DU long enough to "Rant"..
but I'm going to anyway.....

This country for the past 7 years has been held hostage by a group of despicable individuals in this WH... They have instigated an unjust war to suit their needs (whatever that may have been) and this war has cost the American people dearly in lives and monetary value, not to mention what it has done to many innocent Iraqi's and other people of the world. A big question that I have is when will 300 million Americans wake up one day and say, enough is enough, now lets take our country back and indite these monsters for the crimes that they have committed? Not sure how much more, many of us can take of watching this scenerio... Please, Please, Please people of America, wake up and challenge these thugs before it is to late and they do something really stupid like Nuke Iran.

2. I don't think there's a time limit
As far as I could see, we all started ranting as soon as the site came up in 2001.

Welcome to DU! :beer: :toast:

19. We need a leader that will stand up and speak out for our rights!!!!!
And there is only one candidate acting presidential and doing that during his campaign. So we Americans have the voting power to do something, but will we choose to have change or are we too comfortable with what we have?

34. Yes I did catch Keith's Special Comments tonite...... And what does one say?
KO is a very special person that may be the one person that will carry us out of what we are currently in. Keith has the huts ba to tell it like it is, and not many reporters are willing to do that in todays MSM... Keith is one of a kind to be sure, I love him and hope that he stays safe for all of us.....

27. I'm new, too (isn't this place great?) and I think my first post was a bitch session....
I agree as well, and I think the frustration and anger is a common thread on these boards, what I've seen thus far anyway. Hob nobbing with all these folks gives me hope, and I've actually been shooting off angry e-mails to my representatives. So much good info here.


Are you up in THE Lake Samish, WA area?`

30. I ranted like you when I first joined
And most of what I had to say fell on deaf ears.

There are no answers to your concerns and questions. Nothing is going to change. While I will vote for any Democratic candidate, I really don't expect huge changes because most candidates are so wrapped up in politics that they have lost track of their original, probably too idealistic, views.

And so it goes.

37.  Why Dennis Kucinich Is The Best
He did the right thing as mayor of Cleveland and almost was assassinated and now his constituents are reaping the rewards of a lower energy bill each month.... "I live each day with a grateful heart and a desire to be of service to humanity," Dennis Kucinich Dennis voted NO: Patriot Act, Wiretap, War In Iraq, Corporate Welfare, Outsourcing Jobs, "Guest" Workers, Discrimination, and Tax Breaks for the rich and famous.

Dennis voted NO for all the other unconstitutional acts of the GOP...On the record.

I'm not only voting for the smartest candidate, but the only one who would take the actual job of "President" seriously. Dennis can't and won't be bought now or when he was mayor... Why Kucinich Is The Best! ronhardy (50 posts) Tue Aug-28-07 http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x50272 K&R
