Here's my appreciation for a bold personal statement in GD-P.

Good for you, Goldie. That must have been personally painful.
The (predictable) negative responses are sad to see, but illustrate your reasons for "leaving the fold". :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

1. I Gave It A Little K & R

I'll kick it again too:)

[BlackVelvet04]

2. I R'd it and made a comment.

Has she made her way to this forum yet?

[golddigger]

3. I kicked it up and also made a comment. Some are waking up and I

think the post where an Obama supporter posted "can I have a Amen" might have turned off a few Obama supporters. You would think we were electing a Pope instead of a President. I think Goldie got the same impression when he stated, "No to the Pastor-in-Chief."

I might add this took a lot of courage for Goldie to post his feelings, feelings us Hillary supporters have felt from day one. Kudos for Goldie, because like you said johnnylib2 I know this was personally painful for Goldie. I hope someone would tell him to come and check out our forum so we could give him a big DU Hillary forum :grouphug:

4. Right. I think it showed up after 2 a.m. Eastern time.

If the OP agrees, maybe we can call new attention to it?

I'll be offline for several hours. :thumbsup:

5. She now has a star and has been sent an invitation

to this forum. I would think she could use a bit of support right now.

6. Listen, this is a wonderful and heart warming statement

I'm going to email it and pass it around to everyone I know and send it to the media, blogs, radio, etc. I think NPR may be interested, they like these kind of things. NPR seems receptive and of all the media I have ever emailed, NPR was the only one to actually call me in person. That said, I hope she doesn't mind me using it because it pulled at my heart strings and I know it will others.

10. Good idea. It does speak to a rare honesty as well. Props to Goldie for this! Hope she comes by...

...this forum for a hello or something!

[NastyRiffraff]

11. Good on you, BlackVelvet!

I was about to send her an invite myself, but I can't give stars right now...in fact I was a beneficiary of a generous star-giver myself. I know she isn't actively supporting Hillary right now, but I hope she stops by.

9. Opps, wish I could edit now that I found out Goldie is female. Should have

checked before posting with he and him.

7. Brave post for Goldie to make.

Very brave with the level of
Hillary Hate that is allowed
and condoned in GDP.

Kicked and recommended this
great thread.

"No to the Pastor in Chief" <---:applause:

[libbygurl]

8. Wow. I did notice a change in her stance of late, but I just thought I'd confused her with...

...someone else. So her realisation about the fakeness of BO was real, after all.

That was EXTREMELY BRAVE and HONEST of her to post something like that in ObamaUnderground! I really applaud her courage and sincerity in admitting she had been deceived - and royally, too. Wow.

[JohnnyLib2]

12. Thanks for the followup, folks.

Her post sets a different tone.

Ol' JohnnyLib is getting the evil eye from his wife.
Back to the family St. Pat's celebration. Slainte!

13. A chilling thought she had.

I was upset that Wright had a hand in forming Obama's spiritual map. I didn't carry it through to Wright actually advising Obama in the White House. Chilling.

14. I just saw it a bit ago. BRAVO (and the predictive statements --yes yes )

[Lucinda]

15. Thanks for mentioning it here. I hadn't read it.
