A Message To Those Who Can't Read This
If getting DUers to place you on their ignore list were an Olympic sport, I'd be on my way to China right now. This "ignorance" is something of which I'm not particularly proud.

Some of my posts have been quite undiplomatic. Like many of my fellow Obama supporters, I have not lived up to the example set by my chosen candidate in this campaign. For this, I am sorry.

I have tactlessly gloated over many of the small battles Obama has won during this long hard slog. For this, I am sorry.

I have been overly defensive regarding some issues which have been fairly brought up concerning Obama's weaknesses. For this, I am sorry.

I'm unable to go back and unsay what I've said. Or unpost what I've posted rather. However I can try to learn from these mistakes and hope to become a better DUer.

Tonight I'm looking for Hillary and, more importantly, Obama to do what they can to heal the family that is our party. Hillary isn't the nagging wife she's been portrayed as. She's the big sister who's help we need to take our country back.

And she will prove this if we let her.

4. No kidding.
How are we supposed to come up with all this "unity" if people won't even consider the possibility?

2. Well, Andy, as a Hillary supporter
I think you should be as "undiplomatic" as you like. I read and sometimes post to DU for pure amusement and laughs. Don't event think of taking that away from me, ya hear?

7. I hear you.
I realize that one of the aspects of this forum that make it useful to the bigwigs is the unfiltered reactionary stuff that gets posted here.

I wanted though to perhaps repair a bit of the damage to all those bridges I've torched over these last six months.

6. Well let me say this:

You are not on my ignore list and I have very little tolerance for asses. So in my opinion you could not have been that bad. My list is huge.

Thanks for the post though, glad some folks are realizing she is not the Devil.

EDIT: After reading your other threads on the first page- welcome to ignore #$%^&*.

The GE is going to be tighter than logic would dictate.

13. lol, never heard of you.
I think they'll turn off the Ignore feature when the traffic gets high, though.

15. I've never came across you but...
we all get emotional over our candidates. We all feel defensive and we lose sight of the big picture. I had to pull myself back several times to see things objectively.

The important thing is to remember the real enemy in the race-neither Obama or Clinton.

McCain.
