3. Yup!. . Then we start agitating for reforms that have been buried in the
mountains of "dry powder" that the congress has been stockpiling.

8. SSSSHHHHHHH! Didn't you get the coded memo?
Where have you been? Read the coded memo! It's channel blue, scramble setting "somber", follow the instructions carefully, then delete.

Jeeze!

10. When people hesitate to put stickers on their cars because ...
... they fear or have been harassed then that's still underground.

Certainly that is not the case in many places, but I am still reading about how DUers, Obama supporters and liberals questioning if the simple act of putting a flag in their yard is worth getting tires slashed or having their children threatened.

As far as I'm concerned, people who do that are still "underground."

11. I actually think it would be genius to change the name of the site...
...to "Democratic Mainstream." Keep the old URL active, but show the world that we'll never allow the Bush years (where we're forced underground) to happen again.

12. I like your thinking, but ...
... when the GOP owns the media (not just TV, but radio and newspapers as well), and controls how many people think through that control, we are the majority, just not mainstream.

Not yet.
