This BBS is a fascinating storehouse. Even in the short time that it has been around, it is very interesting to look back a few years and see the discussions about issues like the invasion of Iraq. How it might or might not be a good idea. Depending on whether there might or might not be WMDs. Or undemocratic despots. Or people yearning to be democratic.

I think I surpass the typical "Undecided Voter". In Gallup-speak, the Undecided Voter (TM) has not decided for whom they will vote. Me? I haven't decided *if* I'm going to vote.

October 11th, 2002 has to stand as the absofuckinglutely low point of the Democratic Party that some of us cut so much nostalgic slack. Read it and weep:

October 11, 2002 Senate roll call

Hey, a couple of MOTR Knight-Ridder reporters figured out that WMD were complete BS, but our Democrats had to stand like stooges to make sure that America knew that the Democrats were not Soft on Defense.

So now people want to vote for the Stooges? Some of them unapologetic Stooges?

Is this what we settle for?

(edit: I wasn't responding to any specifics in Bitt's post. Just venting in situ.)
