5. You just noticed that?
I stepped inside a few minutes ago and got flamed right away.... :scared:

I fully intend to get a divorce from GD.

Or at least separation.

7. You wouldn't believe what I saw there!
In one of the threads, someone was expressing disgust with today's events and stating that he/she no longer considered himself/herself a Democrat. You wouldn't believe the number of people who told this person to leave DU if they felt this way, even though Democratic Underground is a place for all progressives.

Then again, maybe you would believe it. Maybe people just feel like being held for awhile after attempting to evict longtime posters.

We need people to fight for for the the party, not freak out and DIE!!!

12. a quick response
I don't want to go further into politics than I already have in a place that's reserved for non-political talk.

But the answer to your question about not supporting the Democratic Party has something to do with supporting progressive causes, and not necessarily the often-corrupt and ineffective apparatus of the party itself. To me, it's about the issues, and not the party itslef.

I'll go away now, and I apologize for the momentary politicization of the lounge.

vote anybody makes is for Majority Leader.

Without control, our issues don't even come up.

I guess, I've almost gone somewhat the other way.


edit to add - Geez, I came to hide in the Lounge from scary GD. Now I'll probably get kicked out of here.:spank:

Maybe it'll move me to some feeling. I can't even be outraged at the moment.

16. Actually, it's a good thing. Bear with me, but
let the ranters rant and the whiners whine.

Let them get their rage on. Defeatist is as defeatist does, my momma always says. Maybe some folks will keep this day, these events in mind forever. Remember the names of those "Dems" that didn't do their job...again.

I swear, friggin Congress is like DU on a bad day. These "Dems" or DINOs need the equivalent of a DU "tombstone" in that too many of them seem like Freeper lurkers around here. A damn (D-wherethehellever) after a name doesn't mean shit, and it's time we all wake up to that, and get the everlovinghell rid of them.

You know what, I'm gonna go register Republican. Then, I'm going to run for office on a hate-filled campaign based on Biblical horseshit and selling out to corporate sponsers. Shit, I'm gonna look like a damn NASCAR racer, what with all the sponsors I'll be kissing the ass of. Then, once in their camp, I'm going to make havoc look like an idle pasttime of the Nudist Grandmothers Knitting Club of America.

Once I'm in your crawlspace, you'll never get rid of me.

30. You? An ass? Not likely.
Be pissed. Be angry. Get it out. C'mon...we've seen college football games end with rioting in the streets.

Just remember that anger. Don't keep it in, but keep it in mind. Be ready to get your rage on when it serves We The People.

Love you too. Your passion and emotion shouldn't be kept in check.

The lounge post was BEFORE the GD post after someone posted to vote for the green party instead of the demo's.... hence the LOUNGE post, ofcourse you would KNOW THAT... but okay....

So... I guess I am a flaimbaiting asshole... sue me.

which was written rather tongue-in-cheek. I always had a secret desire to post a
'I hate America' thing, just looking for the right opening.

but there is no toungue-in-cheek smiley, and 'dripping sarcasm' didn't fit

and it did bring out a troll, I'm kinda guessing at

33. you seriously have no class
Edited on Mon Jan-30-06 09:18 PM by Faye
what you were doing was putting down differing opinions.

anyway, i don't usually get into arguments with people so you either really pissed me off or i'm feeling very sensitive tonight.

either way, there is no reason for you to talk to anyone like that.

i will take a break from the Lounge for now. the amount of people here defending that kind of behaviour is unreal to me. i need to step away for a bit, please excuse.

36. Your choice...
Sorry that I have upset you to point of non-post. I am just as emotional as all of the rest of us.

I guess by posting how I felt about it in an EMOTIONAL way, that I have no class and that I am an asshole.

I can live with that for now.

I hope you/we all start feeling better soon,.

It's okay to be upset, but sheesh! I wonder if it's something about the anonymity of the internet that makes people just react some emotionally.
