Splinterists who like to trash Democrats in polls: Ha ha ha ha, someone knows who you are.

I remember there were polls here about stuff like whether or not you'd vote for Ron Paul over Hillary Clinton in the general election, and some jokers thought that it would be cute and/or funny to vote for Ron Paul, plus there were other polls where people thought that they could hide behind the "anonymous" vote here. Well I have news for you clowns: someone knows who you are.

So let this be a warning to these vandals, these people who like to trash the environment here in this forum, that the administrators know who you are when you try to toss out your splinterist vote in polls to cause trouble. Your goofy tactics and crazy mash are not funny and you could rightfully get in trouble for trying to inundate us with this objectionable cant.

1. I'm reasonably certain that a lot of those Ron Paul votes were sincere.

There are a lot of Ron Paul "admirers" on DU.

9. They don't seem to see much beyond his anti-war stance.

That is usually the claimed source of the "admiration".

Personally, I think that any progressive that "admires" him is nuts.

5. There aren't as many as there are.

Ron Paul supporters love sockpuppetry.

8. "I'm reasonably certain that a lot of those Ron Paul votes were sincere."

Especially if it was a poll between just Hillary and Paul.

6. That particular poll was offensive and racist--anyone who votes "yes"

just to be shits is making DU look bad as a community. A poll about a political question is different, and not to be taken too seriously.

7. LoZoccolo, stuff it in a sock.

You're taunting people from behind the skirts of the admins, running off your mouth like YOU'RE the one whose rules are being enforced. It's pathetic.

11. You are correct, I am not the one whose rules are being enforced.

Instead, these are the rules being enforced:

Constructive criticism of Democrats or the Democratic Party is permitted. When doing so, please keep in mind that most of our members come to this website in order to get a break from the constant attacks in the media against our candidates and our values. Highly inflammatory or divisive attacks that echo the tone or substance of our political opponents are not welcome here.

You are not permitted to use this message board to work for the defeat of the Democratic Party nominee for any political office. If you wish to work for the defeat of any Democratic candidate in any General Election, then you are welcome to use someone else's bandwidth on some other website.

Democratic Underground may not be used for political, partisan, or advocacy activity by supporters of any political party or candidate other than the Democratic Party or Democratic candidates. Supporters of certain other political parties may use Democratic Underground for limited partisan activities in political races where there is no Democratic Party candidate.

Do not post broad-brush smears against Democrats or the Democratic Party.

13. Agreed.

Notice how the rules aren't written with a smug, judgmental and pugilistic tone, like your OP was. It's cute though, that you think the admins need you to speak for them. :hi:

15. The splinterists' posts are written in a smug, judgemental and pugilistic tone.

This is me saying that I can pugil right back at them.

17. Aren't you that "BIG UP" nutjob?

I and other Edwards supporters are still laughing. We are also so very happy that you reflect so well on your candidate...Obama.

Keep up the good work, soldier!

22. He's also the guy who made the idiotic "Dooga dooga" video.

It's a good way of seeing how his brain operates, if you ever decide to watch it.

21. For the record, I would *consider* voting for Ron Paul of Hillary

Like I said, the only thing that will make me for Hillary's republican-lite self is if she runs against someone opposed to stemcells.
