"Warriors of the GD-P" Appreciation Thread! (Hillary Group)

We've lost a few along the way over the last year - some permanent, most 'temporarily.' Most will be back - real soon!

The following Hillary supporters have persevered while being 'outnumbered' (as the Administrators verify) -- ferociously persisting in getting the message 'out there' for all to see!

In no particular order - and in no way inclusive of all the Great Warriors who won't back down:



DemocratSinceBirth

pwnmom

riversedge

DanTex

Cali Democrat


While some of us prefer the quiet corners of DU while we are in this contentious primary cycle, we do at least 'lurk' in the GD's.

Today, these Great Warriors are at it.

Yesterday it was some others, too - and tomorrow it will be some more, too.

Please recognize your favorites - and know, we will not be silenced, and we will not go away!

This is still our DU! See you in the GD's!

And, then tell us again how "DU doesn't just belong to Hillary fans".. I find that so interesting that you would say that.

Never mind I just blocked you from the one space on the board that is private for Hillary Supporters.. but, said BS fans don't seem to be able to respect that.

Mahalo!

I have to tell you though that I'm a girl. And, I've just been hanging out in Hill's Group .. it's too bizarre in that GDP place except for the occasional K&R of the warriors who are there all the time.. so out numbered!

Oh, and I may still taking beating but I'm not around to see it. lol

Skidmore is great! She's is so smart!

1StrongBlackMan is an awesome advocate for Justice.. and he's not even a Hillary supporter.

Godhumor started this appreciation thread for those who keep the fires in Hillary's Group burning..

(Jury, that was a joke)

Anyway, ironically, I was pointed here by a Hillary basher trying to make some kind of point.

Still, I very much appreciate the shout-out, and I would be remiss not to point out some of the many other voices for sanity that regularly post in GDP. As you have acknowledged, recognizing some means leaving out others who are equally worthy of praise. Anyway, some voices that deserve recognition:
William769
Godhumor
1StrongBlackMan (an O'Malley supporter AFAIK, but bashed so much by Bernie fans, he might as well be on HRC's side)
stevenleser

And many others that don't come to mind right now. Which is my fault, not theirs.

Big day tomorrow. Go Hillary! Go Dems!

And, whatever happens, my opinion has always been, the number 1 goal here is putting a Dem in the WH for the next 4 years.
