REASON FOR ALERT:

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards</a>.)

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

ashamed to be a democrat? perhaps u r in the wrong place.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon May 21, 2012, 10:41 AM, and the Jury voted 0-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Alerter is troll hunting. Poorly.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: The poster is just venting.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: There are times when we should all be ashamed to be a Democrat. If we just blindly follow everything without questions, then we are no better than the Tea Party. This seems like a pretty significant moment when some of that reflection might be necessary.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Personal opinion; as much as I disagree, DUers could point out the error of this poster's ways if they choose to, and they should.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Given the meaning and context, nothing at all wrong here.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
