EVERYONE CHECK IN HERE: LET'S WELCOME THE NEW MEMBERS!

[Forever Free]

Since the John Kerry group was established here at DU, it has grown by leaps and bounds. I remember joining this small group back in the day when WildEyedLiberal, GRLMGC, and JohnKleeb were the only ones here. Remember the times we were seaching for the only guys in the forum? Haha good times.

In the days since then, many new folks have come to join us. So I started this thread so all you new people (old people can post here too!) can introduce yourselves to all of us. Don't be shy now.

Here's my little spiel about myself: My name is Will, I'm a 18 yr old freshman at UCSB majoring in Law and Society and Political Science. I'll be the first to admit that the Senator was an acquired taste, but since I've gotten to know him, I have supported him strongly and enthusiastically ever since. I also enjoy long walks on the beach too (hahaha jk).

[JohnKleeb]

1. Hey another guy

:). I am a grade younger than ya. Yeah we are a sorta younger bunch so much for the allegations that young people don't like Kerry.

[Forever Free]

3. DAMN RIGHT!

If the youth of this nation had their say, John Forbes Kerry would be inaugurated as the 44th President of the United States.

So here's a toast to all the young Americans out there who voted for Kerry! :toast: You guys are alright.

[angrydemocrat]

2. Well I'm Not New But.....

My name is Misty. I'm 34 soon to 35, I am happily married to man that is seven years older than me (I have a thing for older men) his is Chris, we have two teenagers one who turns 17 soon the other will be 15(and yes I got and married and had kids at a young age) there names are Misty and Anthony. We currently live in shitty ass Tennessee but will be moving to Massachusetts soon. (Can't wait to get there this place sucks)

My husband, me, and my kids are all Kerry supporters. But I must say me and my daughter are "Kerry Krazy" and have been for many years now.
Yes she is just like me LOL! So we give her the perfect name when we named her after me (we only changed the middle name). She will be going to college in Massachusetts and plans on getting in to what else but politics LOL. She loves John Kerry and says he is the one who has inspired over the years. My husband and son are not as crazy as me and my daughter.

Oh Yeah LOL there are times when you guys think it is me your talking to but in fact it is my crazy daughter. And she like alot of others thinks John Kerry is a hottie.

[ginnyinWI]

4. I've been here since after the election

I got interested in politics for the first time in this election, and don't think I'll lose interest any time soon. I worked for the campaign Sept. and Oct. and was on the Kerry blog from April throught Oct.
Married to husband for 33 years, three grown kids aged 22-30, all of us Kerry voters (although the youngest kid preferred Dean, and the oldest kid is usually Green!) But I came from Republican roots and my extended family still is--so I have insights into the way they think (or don't think-lol). I became a Democrat during the Clinton administration.

[vinessa4freedom]

5. I've been here since November

pretty much shortly after I registered. I thought the group was pretty new when I got here, but Kleeb would know better than I. I'm not a super frequent poster (not counting this weekend:) ) although I do live in this forum. I love the Kerrycrats! :hi:

[seito]

6. I've also been here since the election

My name is Suzanne

I turned 35 in Dec, and I live in MD most of the year. My home and family are in CA, so I claim that as home.

I have admired John Kerry for many years, but I grew to love him during this past campaign. I am an Army veteran and I feel kindred spirit in John Kerry.

I currently teach science to at-risk youth in a residential GED prep program.

[vinessa4freedom]

7. Seito- you teach science?

I'd love to discuss it with you. I'm a returning college student, and have recently discovered an interest in science. I bought into the lie when I was a kid that being a girl, and being strong in English meant that I wasn't good at it.

[seito]

11. My degree is in Biological Sciences from U.C. Davis

I served as an Environmental Science officer in the Army for 6 years. I did some work as a network administrator after that. I decided to pursue a career in teaching, and have been living under the poverty level ever since. lol I love it though.

I have always loved science. I had a great teach in high school that really inspired me. I suppose that is one reason that I am now a teacher.

[vinessa4freedom]

52. I never knew I'd be stuck on rocks

and fossils and tectonic plates and such, but I love geology. I'm trying to figure out how I can mesh environmental lobby efforts with studying geosciences. I'd like to do both. If you get some time one of these days, maybe you can send me a PM with your thoughts.

[WildEyedLiberal]

8. Hey, don't forget Faye and LittleClarkie

Part of the old timer group.

My name is Rachael, and I'm another college student for Kerry. I'm 20 and I'm studying history and political science at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign. I love John Kerry with everything all my heart - he's my ultimate man, and the ultimate public servant, in so many ways. So many people gave so much to the campaign, and it hurt like hell to see us come up short (or get cheated). But anyways, hello to all the newer members, and enjoy your stay - this place is my Oasis, the people here are great, and I know I would've gone nuts without all of you.

:grouphug:

[angrydemocrat]

10. Really! Faye is the one as I remember started this Kerry Group

And Thank God! This is truly an Oasis for all the Kerrycrats and we all have alot of fun.:grouphug:

[seito]

12. Yes, Faye did start this group

I love all of you Kerrycrats. Between you guys and the Believers, you have restored my faith. Of course, I think the believers consist of two types of people-Kerrycrats and Closet Kerrycrats. :grouphug:

[JohnKleeb]

14. Yes, bless her

I remember helping her keep the thread for it kicked in the lounge and I remember she got scolded by the same person whose anti Kerry in GD Politics, I proudly copycatted, now tell me why do I remember this and not my SSN number at hte moment?

[WildEyedLiberal]

16. HA

Because you haven't yet had to write down your SSN 100,000 times, like I had by the time I was 18?

[JohnKleeb]

18. No actually I just forget it now

ahh I remember it now. Ive had three jobs believe me I had to write it down.

[JohnKleeb]

13. you mindif I call you Rach? heh

everyone calls me by my last name and there are various forms of it they have, Kleebie, Kleebmeister, Kleebsta(my sn), etc.

[WildEyedLiberal]

15. LOL, sure

In the Kerry forum, anyways... don't want the freepers knowing my name. You're very brave, having your actual name as your handle. Braver than I. Well, and also, your name is a lot cooler than mine. My real name would be the most boring shit handle ever. I hate my last name... it's like the bland, flavorless gruel of surnames.

[JohnKleeb]

17. I wish I had thought of something better honets for my handle

Well I have the most common first name in the west. Don't mind it though, its a fine name, and I admire hte person I was named after big time.

[WildEyedLiberal]

19. A family member, or a famous John?

And it's not my first name so much as my last name. It's so bland and blah.

[JohnKleeb]

21. family member, mom's dad

my middle name is my dad's dad, and my future confirmation name is my dad.

[Withywindle]

9. Hi and welcome!

:hi:


I'm a 35-year-old arts journalist in Chicago; live in an apartment in the city proper with 31-year-old musician/retail-work boyfriend and two unemployed cats. I come from a yellow-dog-Democrat family (my dad is actually politically a socialist and die-hard union man, active in the park rangers' branch of the FOP; my mom is from Brazil and came here as an international student in the 60s--she knows a right-wing coup when she sees one, and she does). My father stopped speaking to his mother decades ago over politics. They live in red Virginia, and envy me my Democratic clean sweep all the way up to His Fraudulency. :thumbsup: I am a latte-drinking, sushi-eating, public-transportation-taking, tattooed liberal freak show and VERY proud of it.

My first vote ever was for Jesse Jackson in the '88 primary. I have a perfect-attendance voting record. :) (But some of my best friends are anarchists.) And I love and respect John Kerry, maybe now more than ever.

[rockymountaindem]

20. I joined right after the election as well.

This place is an island of sanity and I wish the rest of DU could look like this.

[sandnsea]

22. I disapproved of candidate groups

I thought it would only create more division, looks like that would have happened anyway. Now I'm very glad this group is here because it helps me to know I'm not alone in my support and admiration for JK.

My name is Sandy, I joined DU right after the invasion. I wanted to rally Dems to expose the Bush war lies. Imagine my shock when I discovered people who didn't know the difference between a vote for accountability and an order for war based on lies. When the yellowcake lies came out and some chose to continue going after Democrats instead of laying straight on Bush, that's when I lined up behind Kerry permanently. I know he'll get these corrupt, lying sonsabitches, he'll just have to do it without the help of the "activists".

I'm 46, married, 4 kids, grandbaby due in June. I've only helped people with a few local campaigns, always been more active with my kids' things. Girl Scouts, boxing, soccer, stuff like that. My husband and I manage internet sites for local businesses, and have 2 tourism sites to help promote those businesses and make a little hotel booking money on the site. I'm working with a couple of other Kerrycrats on LightUpTheDarkness.org which we hope will define Democratic values and how the programs and policies that Democrats support really are the ones that change the world.

[Blaukraut]

23. Hello again

My name is Kerstin, I'm 38, have 2 daughters (20 and 16) and I've been a DU member since, I think April or May 2001, so one of the 'originals'. I was never a prolific poster, hence my meager post count. Dropping into lurk status during the primaries didn't help either.
I've been a Kerry supporter since '02, when first whispers of his possible running for prez came about.
Since my husband retired from the Air Force in '01, we've been living in his home state Massachusetts and are proud to call John Kerry our senator.
I would have been even prouder to call him our president, and I do, around people who believe that the election was stolen.
Thankfully, here in Mass. we're not alone in that belief.
As I already said in another thread - I volunteered for John Kerry during the primaries all the way through the election, signed up new voters in NH, canvassed, you name it. It made me feel like I contributed something, especially considering that as a non-citizen, I was not able to vote.
My citizen status was to have changed if John had become president - a promise I made to him at the Manchester rally. Now that has changed until further notice, or until 2008. (when, I hope, John Kerry gets elected again).

[clydefrand]

24. Hello, I've been on DU since July, I think. Have spent way

too much time on this addiction, but I've enjoyed my stay.

My name is Fran. Husband is Clyde who sometimes reads but has never posted. We're senior citizens; both retired. I was voting before most of you were born and voting for the DEMS! Ashamedly, I will admit that I did a stupid thing and voted for a repug! Never before and never since then. Except I voted for John McCain in the primary. I figured if a republican was going to oppose Gore, I wanted to see one who had enough sense to debate and if he did win, then perhaps he wouldn't be as bad as Bush has turned out.

Born during the last term of FDR...so you can tell by that...I'm old as dirt. Was 9 months old when Pearl Harbor was bombed. Go figure the age!!! :-) Listened to the radio the night of Truman's election. No TV back in those days...at least not in my home. That was my first memory of anything political, but I did learn that Southerns were Democrats. What in the hell has happened in the South??? I just can't understand it.

Educated at Radford College and again at Radford University in Virginia. Taught school for 32 years...first as a chemistry/biology teacher. Then 7th and 6th grade Science; afterwards 4th and then back to 6th grade and finally retired in '96 after teaching 4th grade again.

So glad we have John Kerry supporters with whom I can share a few comments once in a while and read interesting posts of others.

[WildEyedLiberal]

25. "What in the hell has happened in the South???"

The Civil Rights Act. LBJ said it would cost the Democrats the South for at least a generation; he was right.

:(

[Withywindle]

35. Radford!

When my mom went back to finish college, she got her degree from there.


(My folks are in Carroll County, BTW). Welcome!

[Sydnie]

38. My sister went to Radford too -- twice!!!

She just graduated again from her graduate studies in psychology.

[whometense]

26. I guess it's my turn,

but I suspect I'm the old lady of the group, so I'm keeping my age to myself!

My name is Diane, and I've lived most of my life in lovely liberal Massachusetts - and the part I wasn't in Massachusetts I lived in Vermont.

I've been married for 27 years, have three kids between the ages of 18 and 25, all of them musicians. I adore my children - they and my husband are the four lights of my life. I was a mom-at-home through a large part of their childhoods, and started back to work part time when my youngest started first grade.

I've been a Kerry fan since his post-Vietnam days, have voted for him many times for many different offices, and have met him several times up close (but not that he'd probably remember). I've migrated around the web a lot during the campaign, but this group is the first comfortable home I've found. Thank you all.

Oh, and I write for a group blog - ToughEnough.org, though my postings have been sporadic since the election.

[Sydnie]

27. So glad to have found this forum too!

Hi all!

I am a 48 year old single mother of two (17 yo son and 12 yo daughter). I live in Mass and am proud that JK has been serving us so well for so long.

I started my political "career" when I was just 5, campaigning for my father who was elected as a member of the House of Delegates in WV (my home state). I can remember being at a campaign event the night they "declared war in Viet Nam". Now that was freaky!

I then moved on to supporting RFK, although I was too young to actually work in that campaign without the support of my parents. I remember vividly watching RFK on tv, giving his speech in California that night and going to bed very happy. I was then awakened by my older brother the next morning with the news of his assasination. I was devistated.

I then worked to get Jay Rockefeller elected Govenor and at 14 volunteered for McGovern. No parental aid in that one, but they supported me in my dream by arranging for me to be at the campaign office often since it was right around the corner from my parents retail store.

After McGoverns loss, I was beginning to wonder if I was the kiss of death to any campaign I worked on! LOL I sort of dropped out from the scene for a while and worked on antiwar issues while Nixon was doing his best to take us down. My first cast vote was for Carter and I was hooked.

Oddly enough, my parents had both come to be elected officials for the state, just decades apart. Out of five children, I am the only one that has ever run for an office and/or to be elected to any office. I got to hang with great men like Robert Byrd when I was a child. My father taught me one very valuable lesson -- If you see something that's wrong and you do nothing to change it, you have lost forever your legitimate right to complain about it. I try to live by that.

During the 80's I got married, had a baby, got elected to my local school board. Life was good and my activism was limited to working very local elections in my adopted state of Mass (including working for Kerry). My ex was the type that would ask for his "list" on election day because he knew that I knew more about the candidates than he did. He even called this year to ask, even though I was not in the state! Somethings NEVER change I guess.

In the early 90's I set about changing the town's charter that I lived in to add recall and successfully recalled an entire school committee with one swoop! I then was elected and served again on the school committee, had another baby and worked on more local elections. I served twice as a state delegate to the state convention and had the honor of supporting Kerry, Kennedy and Dukakis with those bodies. (Kennedy KNOWS how to throw a party and I was once at the same party as John Kennedy JR! (talk about yummy girls -- he was much more handsome in person).

In the late 90's, I was named woman of the year for my little town here for my work with the schools and with kids. Shortly after that, I got divorced and went back into the work force. I coasted politically through the 90's, still only working on state wide races.

I worked my tail off for Kerry this time though! Even with two jobs and two kids, I still found time to go to NH and work there to swing that state back to the blue side. I was there on election day too, working to feed the hungry masses that were poll working, canvasing, doing visibility and such. I drove people to the polls and kept the food flowing out to those in the field. AT 8 pm that night, we were on every cell phone we could get calling OK voters to get them out to the polls!

I was luck enough to see Kerry at his last NH visit, just days before the election. I am pleased to say that my daughter insisted on going with me. That was a very proud moment for me.

Now that I have given you the history of my life for the last 20 years or so.... I feel I am rather exposed... LOL

Thanks for being here guys. I know I wouldn't have made it through all of this without this site!

[angrydemocrat]

36. Very Impressive

If there is one thing you will discover about me from my post is I am a Kerry supporter and long before this election even existed. John Kerry is my hero! I love to talk to all Kerrycrats but especially those who live in Massachusetts because they can tell you and fill you in on alot about him. I never get tired of talking about John Kerry because I'm addicted. Me and my family are moving to Massachusetts soon and I can't wait. And those who already live there just don't realize how lucky they really are. And you meeting JFK Jr. in person well all I can say is you are lucky he was a good looking man. I have always loved the Kennedey's but I have to admit I have always had a major hang up about my hero and I don't think for me that there will ever be a greater leader than John Forbes Kerry! He is the greatest and he will president.

[Goldeneye]

28. I got a star just so I could post in here.

:bounce:

[whometense]

29. Awwww...

that's really sweet! :-)

[bunny planet]

30. Congrats!

:toast:

[seito]

31. Welcome

:hug:

[saracat]

33. Welcome Goldeneye!

[TayTay]

43. Welcome

Come in, pull up a chair, tell s what's on your mind.

[saracat]

32. I think I joined this group as soon as DU did the groups!

I am a proud member of the LLL's and a Kerry supporter from WAAAY back. I was in grammar school during the Vietnam War and I went to march on Washington when I was twelve! I remember stories about John Kerry and have always been impressed with him. I am a dyed in the wool New Yorker, from Westchester NY, who was also raised in New England and I can tell you stories about those Bushes from Greenwich those phony Texans. Barbara Bush herself grew up in the house that was three houses down from us. My parents knew the Bushes. GAG!

I now live in red Arizona and want to go home. Fortunately until recently I was able to visit often. But the Bush economy has hit my hubby and me hard.I can't afford to travel anymore! Hubby and I stay home with our two fur kids, Sara and Barrymore! They are cats but they don't know that. We feel they are kids without tuition!

I have worked on several campaigns and was the campaign manager and chief bottle washer for a congressional race.I am a Dem District Chair and State Committee person. I worked my ass off for Kerry! I also do the interviews for a political television talk show sponsored by the Democratic Party.

I am an actor /director/writer/producer. I am a jack of all trades! I do theater, film and television. I love this group and the sane oasis it provides from the craziness even on DU.And thank you Vector and WideEyedliberal for unleashing my wild side! Giggle. :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:
Floaty hearts to every Kerrycrat in the group!

[semass]

34. Reading this group got me to thinking...

"How many times have I voted for John Kerry?". Well, the first time was back in Sept. 1982 in the Democratic primary for Lt. Gov. Counting primary and final elections over a 22 year span I came up with an even dozen 1982(2), 1984(2), 1990(2), 1996(2), 2002(2) and 2004(2). I don't live in the congressional district he ran in or it would have been 14.

[vinessa4freedom]

37. I just realized I hadn't given a bio

My name is Vinessa--there's a surprise. I've been married since '92, and have no human children, but 1 feline child. His name is Q (for the Star Trek character. I'm a Trek junkie). I'm 36, have a small home based business, and have returned to college full-time, originally solely for the purpose of re-developing my writing skills, as that is the dream career that I wish to pursue. However, now that I'm actually a student, discovering that I have an interest in science as well. I'd like to work on environmental reform, as a volunteer if nothing else, but first things first--we need to get our country back.

I was completely and hopelessly politically unaware until 2000. I was once registered a republican, but it doesn't mean much as I never voted in a primary, or knew much about the process. Until after this election I was a "no-party" voter. I've always leaned toward the liberal side of most issues, so I guess I was a Dem at heart and didn't know it. I really admire a lot of you younger people for having it together and being so aware and involved in your "youth."

[WildEyedLiberal]

46. Star Trek!

OMG! Awesome!

TNG and DS9 are mny favorite shows ever.

[vinessa4freedom]

51. I'm such a hopeless TNG Geek.

I had "Reunion" and "Future Imperfect" on today while I was recounting my inventory. Are you my long lost sister? :) Oh, speaking of sisters, my sister is a prof at EIU. Small world.

[WildEyedLiberal]

53. No way

My sister went to EIU. I go to the U of I, however. My hometown is like 40 minutes from Charleston.

I have TNG season 3 on DVD, and DS9 season 5. Haven't had a chance to watch them yet, however.

You're like the third Kerrycrat I've had some sort of bizarre cosmic bond with, which just proves that the denizens of this forum are the coolest people on the Earth.

You should watch DS9, too, if you haven't, in particular the Dominion War story line. Lots of episodes dealing with Big Issues like war, morality, loyalty, deception, etc... good stuff.

[vinessa4freedom]

54. I've seen a lot of DS9

I especially loved the funny ones "Take me out to the Holo Suite" and "Badda-Bing, Badda-Bing." James Darren was in a few of them. He was Moon Doggie in the old Gidget movies. There's another hot older guy.

My sis and her hubby had an apartment in Champaign, long time ago, before they bought a house in Charleston.

[WildEyedLiberal]

55. Yeah Vic Fontaine the lounge singer

That's who James Darren played... those were always fun episodes.

I actually live on the Urbana side of the twin cities, although it's so close to Champaign it really doens't make a lot of difference. I need to go buy my school textbooks, arg, but it's damp and rainy here and I don't wanna get up.

Oh God, and there's a Rush Limbaugh/Sean Hannity wannabe who writes for the Daily Illini, and he's going to be in one of my small history classes this semester. :puke: I'll have to try my best to ignore him.

[vinessa4freedom]

62. give him daily rants...

and talk about the ACLU a lot. LOL--make his life a living hell.

[TheDonkey]

39. Hello!

I'm 21 college student in Pennsylvania. I'm majoring in Public Administration and this is my final semester.

I was a Dean supporter early on in the build-up to the primaries but when I saw a CSPAN town hall of Kerry I was STUNNED. He spoke with intellegence and common sense, ever since I've been 100% Kerry.

[New Earth]

40. welcome to everyone! especially n00bs!

I'm Faye (that's my real name too) and i'm 26 - I have a daughter who is 4 and I live in New Jersey (south jersey). I started this group because at the time I had realized how strong my emotional connction was with Kerry after watching him throughout the campaign, debates, and election. I also started it so i could learn more about him from other people (which, thanks to angrydemocrat, i have learned LOTS!) I was actually surprised there wasn't already a John Kerry Supporters Group, so i decided to start one. I'm so glad it's gotten so big! this forum is a nuthouse! i'm not as obsessed with Kerry's looks as some people here, but there will be one or two times where i have to do a :loveya: b/c sometimes he is hot!!!! (sometimes, ahem)

:hi: :grouphug: i'm glad everyone is here!

[vinessa4freedom]

42. we cannot thank you enough

for starting this group Faye. It has been my lifeline when I've been so freepin' frustrated. The group that has gravitated to this forum are stellar people, and we have you to thank for beginning it.
:yourock:

[bunny planet]

44. Thanks for starting the JK group Faye. It has been such a lifeline in the

past two months.

Not to be off topic but
I believe!!!

[bunny planet]

41. Hi, thanks for starting this welcoming group.

I would print my name but someone on DU pointed out to me that the Freepers were impersonating me using my Bunny Planet name over at freerepublic. This scared me a bit. My real name is too much information for them to have I guess, so just call me Bunny for now.

I was an illustrator and a textile designer for many years living in NYC. I moved to NJ, only about 10 miles away from Manhattan 10 years ago. I am a fine artist now, with a couple of galleries representing my work, one in London, one in Nashville. I also teach several classes at the Fine Arts Museum in my town and teach private group lessons out of my home studio and also curate exhibitions around the state.

I am married, to a tall, lanky, handsome, smart, funny guy with great teeth. (guess I just like tall and lanky). He used to be a professional musician and he still plays a mean guitar. We have three children ages 14 (G), 12 (B), and 8 (G), three fur children (cats) (although the youngest fur child Dusty Springfield definitely does not know she is a cat, she thinks she is human and to suggest otherwise would earn you a disdainful glance), and one bird named Budgie.

In my spare time, of which there is little, I like to read, do yoga, watch films, post on DU, listen to all kinds of music, and most importantly dance. I LOVE to dance. John Ashcroft (who doesn't believe in dancing and probably would have outlawed it if he had the chance) scares the hell out of me.

I've become very politically involved since that fateful night in 2000 when * first stole that election. I have been a democrat all of my life, just not as active until the past four years.

First encountered Kerry when I was a very young teen and active against the Vietnam War. He has been one of my heroes since then and I was delighted to have him be our candidate this time around. I am so saddened that he was deprived of that well-earned priviledge to serve the American people as President in 2004. Although, as we say here NGU! I was in love with him as a person for years, but I didn't fall in serious lust with him I must say, until............ the pool pic. Now I am seriously sweatin that man. He is a God.
;)

[WildEyedLiberal]

45. Haha, hey Bunny

Mmmmmmm....!!!

A God indeed.

[bunny planet]

47. You had to do this to me WEL. Now I can't get anything done for the rest

of the afternoon.

Sigh!!!!

[WildEyedLiberal]

48. What can I say

I'm the Kerry forum's resident Saucy Wench.

:evilgrin:

[bunny planet]

49. You've got lots of company.

[vinessa4freedom]

50. I heard that Bunny

who me? (eyes dart back and forth)... It's not what you think, I swear! (beads of sweat forming on forehead)...I didn't do it (dancing in place)...I was in the wrong place at the wrong time! (hands begin to shake)...I don't know what you heard, but I'm innocent, I say! No kinks, no kinks, no kinks...Uncle Dad, yes. No ma'am John Kerry is not attractive, I say, not attractive. I'm not a kinker. :shrug: I know nothing about those kinks. Nothing.

[WildEyedLiberal]

56. You just totally failed the polygraph test, vinessa

We see right through you.



It's okay. You don't have to lie. You don't think of this man as an uncle. Hell, he's three times my age, and I assure you, if I had the chance, I would hit that.

[vinessa4freedom]

63. Entrapment!

You put that picture out there just to get me to pee my pants in front of the jury so I look guilty. And a polygraph is not admissible in a court of Kerry...er, is it? :eyes:

[WildEyedLiberal]

64. Anything goes in the court of Kerry

No rules, no holds barred :evilgrin:

[TayTay]

57. Hi, I'm TayTay

Most of the time. (Sometimes I wish I could have two names. Sometimes I feel like a TayTay, sometimes I feel like the PMS Avenger. The later happens occasionally and whenever the Bushies put out something awful like starting up Death Squads in Iraq. Arrrgggghhh!) The TayTay side of me is thoughtful and nice and likes history and talking to people and has an intellectual appreciation of Sen. Kerry and what he has accomplished. That TayTay is in the LLL but is not terribly interesting in posting about it. (Sorry WEL! The PMS Avenger side of me knows that the real problem was that WEL was describing a quickie and TayTay is spoiled and doesn't do quickies. The PMS Avenger side of me does do quickies, but no sane biped would come near that side without a tranquilizer gun, or at least a plate of tasty munchies and a rolled up newspaper I haven't read yet.) I had a great deal of trouble sending any pol floatie hearts until I came to this forum and was easily corrupted.

My real name is Terri. I am 46 years old, and I have 2 kids. My daughter is 19 and attends college in the Liberal Oasis of NYC. My son is 17 and annoys me constantly. He is a junior in high school and is plotting daily to leave for college someday. We both have ADD, which drives my husband crazy. Ah yes, I am happily married to a short, balding Jewish man who is wonderful (Awwhh!) He holds public office (school committee) and works at the same company I do. (He has many skills. TayTay is happily married.)

Let's see what else. I attended college, several times, but do not yet have a degree. I started out as PoliSci/History major in DC, but got homesick for the Red Sox and returned to my ancestral roots. I enrolled at BC and was going to get a degree in Gothic Lit/Boston History (there IS a connection!) until I had an attack of sanity and decided to get technical certificates. I am one of eight children, I have six brothers and one baby sister. I have deep roots in Massachusetts, my Dad's direct paternal ancestors arrived in Boston in the 1630's. My Mom's people went to Montreal in the 1650's. I think that qualifies me for Masshole status. (Hmmm, I wonder if my long-dead ancestors and the long-dead ancestors of a distinguished Ma pol ever hooked up in Puritan MA? Hmm, can you even use Puritans and 'hooked up' in the same sentence? Probably not to both.)

I work at a Major Media company where my job entails bagging errant news stories and tagging them and sending them to end-users who, I hope, read them. My formal work title is strange and oddly meaningless. (I am a database analyst, search terms specialist, a researcher and I have more knowledge than I ever wanted to have about corporate structure and ticker symbols.) I like politics, writing, reading, gardening and family. (Even my RW nutjob brothers.) That's me in a nutshell.

58. Ha - well if it makes the TayTay side feel any better

I also appreciate the idea of making slow, sweet, passionate love with Big John. (I'm trying to coax you into participating in future kink.) A treat as tasty as he should be savored and relished.

I mean, obviously, there are times when he should be devoured relentlessly, as well, in which case I extend an open invitation for the PMS Avenger to come dive in :evilgrin:

[TayTay]

59. Oh WEL, you tart, you

You know, someday they are going to build a TV soap around you. WEL and the Brahmin. Older Men and Frisky Women. When College Girls Go WildEyed for Handsome Dems! Sex and the Wonky!

Ok, ok, once you go kink, you never go back. (And my daughter is back in the Big Apple.) So, Friday or Saturday night? I will try mightily to bring all sides of me.
:9 and :evilgrin:

I truly thought I was dampening the fun because I had an attack of the serious. Nice to know you still care!

[WildEyedLiberal]

60. Saturday night - Big John kink party!

After I get off work - so, around midnight central time.

Might I get to see TayTay unleashed? :evilgrin:

[TayTay]

61. That's one AM East Coast time

unleashed and de-brained, probably. I will take a nap and read something salacious and randy and utterly endeavor to prepare myself.

Now, I must move this type of post to another thread. This is for newcomers and we might scare them off. Newcomers must be slowly enticed into revealing their inner kink. (Not everybody is as easily corrupted as I was.)

So, Saturday night/Sunday morning it is. I'll bring the massage oil, you bring the Oreos.

[NMDemDist2]

65. AzDemDist6 here, I emailed JK in August 02 and asked him to run

in 04.


I walked my precinct and about 6 others in Dist 6 of AZ and called Florida, Ohio, and all over AZ in the GOTV drive

I sent the campaign cash (my first ever to a candidate) that I really couldn't afford

I saw Dean and support him fully for DNC Chair, but Kerry is my man and I still support him and have faith this fight isn't over. He may not be inaugurated this year, but I believe he won't let this election mess go away

Kerrycrat for years now and still going strong....

:hi: everybody

[TayTay]

66. Thank you for posting this

People like you are the reason I still have such great hope in this country. It's not just Kerry. It's the faith that you have, and the desire to affect positive change, even after the disappintment of the last election.

Thanks! You truly Rock!

:yourock:

[Siyahamba]

67. Welcome everyone!

I don't think I'm new so I want to welcome all the new members! I donated to DU just so I could post in this group, and I'm glad I did! Enjoy your stay, I'm sure that, like mine, it will be a very long one!

[elshiva]

68. I've been blogging for a while but

just became a donor. Thank you for this group. I still support Kerry and love him.
I am a 2004 graduate of the College of Notre Dame of Maryland. I majored in Religious Studies. Currently, I am looking for a job in the Baltimore area. I'm 23 years old and a yellow dog Deanaic/Kucinich Democrat. As a Jewish-Anglo-Catholic-Anglican-Episcopalian Bisexual Feminist, I appreciate a candidate who can take a stand, but knows how to compromise, like Kerry. My hobbies are blogging, book collecting, and masturbation.
God Bless,
Elizabeth

[WildEyedLiberal]

69. Hahaha

Nice hobbies! I... uh... concur...

Welcome to the Kerry forum! We like Dean and Kucinich too (if not all of their supporters). We're about as yellow dog as they come, so pull up a chair and stay awhile.

Fair warning: we can get randy sometimes. :evilgrin:

[elshiva]

70. I'm hoping for randiness,

and I wasn't disappointed with some of the comments made in other threads. It's hard being a bisexual I have crushes on Kucinich, Dean, Kerry, but also on Hilary Clinton, Dr. Judy Dean, and Momma T.
(Clinton is OK, but I big turn-off for me.)
I am also a happily married woman.
Blessings

My motto: Masturbation: It's cheaper than golf.

[WildEyedLiberal]

72. So seeing them in public is like a double shot of hotness for you?

Nice!

Yeah, usually every night there's a kink thread here. Hey, maybe you and Kleeb could talk about some hot Dem women sometime... everyone here is a hetero female, and he gets bored with our kink LOL.

So, isn't this like the hottest thing ever:

[JohnKleeb]

75. hah well I dont look at many politicans

I look at their kids who are around my age and dem celeberties like Natalie "I'd convert to Judaism for you" Portman, :), I also like nobobdies that I go to school with but who are damned attractive and dems.

[elshiva]

77. I don't like that photograph one bit.

He looks scary in it. Plus men without shirts are a big turn off for me. I like femmy men and Kerry's plenty femmy. Here are sexy pics, acc. to elshiva...

He's very femmy when he laughs and holds back his head.

Love it when he's holding hands with other men

Go, on and kiss him, yay!

[WildEyedLiberal]

78. Heh

Guess the rest of us Kerry lasses will have to lust over it, then.

[JohnKleeb]

80. lust? understatement

[WildEyedLiberal]

81. Well I could tell you what I really do with it

But you probably don't wanna hear ;)

[JohnKleeb]

82. Is it something that geeky guys such as my one time friend

who I found out was bashing my folks claim never to do because of religion?

[WildEyedLiberal]

84. It might be something like that, yeah :P

My religion prohibits it too, but I have few qualms about that :evilgrin:

[JohnKleeb]

86. we're the same religion

I thought it would be something like that, we got the kid back, I must say, he's a big Bushleaguer too, him and his damn sister called people who supported Kerry immoral, god they went on that rant just because I brought up that Prince Bandar from F911 had sponsored an art exhibit at the national gallery.

[WildEyedLiberal]

88. Bushbots!

Dumbass.

[JohnKleeb]

91. yeah

his family supported Alan Keyes for president in 2000 and get this, his mom decided not to send him to public school because of something another homeschooled kid did.

[WildEyedLiberal]

92. Oh my God

Bushbot Version 2.0, the advanced model!

ALAN KEYES? WTF?

Watching that ass embarrass himself was a nice benefit of being an Illinoisan this fall.

[JohnKleeb]

93. He ran in our neighboring state, Maryland against Paulie Sarbines

a few years back I think.

[JohnKleeb]

71. The only dem I would never vote for endorsed Bush

From Georgia, :D ring a bell?
and I would have voted and supported him when he first ran, supposely the dueling freakaliar was actually quite progressive as governor of Georgia.

[WildEyedLiberal]

73. I saw a video of his speech at the 1992 DNC

Ripping Bush Sr.

WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED, ZELL?

[JohnKleeb]

74. Cocaine is a very dangerous drug

Yeah he really gave him hell.

[pamela]

76. Hi, I'm Pam.

But you probably figured that out already.;-)

I live in Maryland on the Eastern Shore just across the bay from Annapolis. I'm 45 and married with no children. I've worked in the mental health field most of my adult life, mostly counseling, but in recent years I've been teaching Psychology at a nearby Community College.

I've been a Kerry fan for a while now. I first became interested in him after watching a story about his race against Weld. I wanted him to run in 2000 and was thrilled when he decided to run in 2004. I strongly supported him in the primaries and fully intend to support him in '08.

Thanks to all of you who started this group and the others that have joined since. I get very frustrated by he DU Kerry-bashing and probably wouldn't stick around if it weren't for this group.

[WildEyedLiberal]

79. I hear ya

Contemplated leaving DU in the aftermath of the election, but then this group got started, and I've been here ever since. Howdy, BTW.

[angrydemocrat]

83. I'm Back LOL

As If you care.

[WildEyedLiberal]

85. Haha

Bout time!

Now, now, why wouldn't I care? It's been getting quiet in here!

[angrydemocrat]

87. Check your Inbox

[angrydemocrat]

89. OK I See You Got My Message

Had to ask LOL. Came back and seen that and thought WTF? LOL Just overlook me. Did you ever check out the link I sent or not?

[WildEyedLiberal]

90. I clicked on it, saved it to favorites

I'll watch the videos some time, right now I've got about four screens up and music playing so I couldn't really watch them.
