One more day of this crap and I'm outta here. I've had it. I mean it
How can Skinner allow supposed Democrats to use Democratic Underground like this to tear our own Party to shreds? Sometime I think I've accidently wandered onto Free Republic when I read the threads on this forum. I'm ashamed that I have anything to do with this place.

Fair warning. Either this crap stops today or don't expect to find me posting here tomorrow.

18. See that's the kind of thing that has gotten on my last nerve around here.
No respect. No spellchecking. People have gotten so lazy around here we might as well be freakin Free Republic.

38. Hey Yardwork, why don't you start a new petition thread to Skinner?
You know; "we the undersigned will leave leave Democratic Underground at midnight if this crappy forum is allowed to continue one day longer". That type of thing, I trust you on the wording.

The people united will never be defeated!

I would do it myself but I already started this thread today and I don't want to use up another one of my remaining two OP's on this issue.

If enough of us speak up he won't have a choice, he'll be forced to kill GD-Primaries.

37. This forum should have never been let go the way it was anyway.
It became a cesspool because it was allowed to become a cesspool.

There was a happy medium between the ultra-strict rules of GDP 2004 and the laissez faire approach in GDP2008. I guess it would have taken a little effort to develop a set of rules that fit that happy medium, and no one was willing to take the time to do so.

You need to slow down a bit. He already said it gets shut down at noon today, and disruptors will be tombstoned. Are you calling him a liar?

46. Actually, it's not
Check out a certain so-called "Supporter" group. (And I am not talking about the most obvious one)

They even chase off the real supporters of their ex-candidate if said supporter is not sufficiently Obama-hating.

I am curious whether anything will be done about THAT cesspool.

It's always been.

You think our primary was ugly?

The Dems need their battle tested wits about them to beat the pukes this fall.

And I have every confidence the party will unite behind Obama and WIN! :)

Thank you for this very amusing thread. I've spent more then a few minutes laughing at those who never bother to actually read OPs or who read them but lack the critical thinking skills to respond in any sort of a way that makes sense.
