Don't check out drudgereport..
Edited on Tue Nov-02-10 05:52 PM by JKaiser
I didn't mean to post it twice, it just did. Why is everybody so mean? I voted democratic just like everyone else on here. I was just trying to get information... You don't have to go all crazy...

8. I didn't see anything depressing?
Only Drudge posting the Senate results that are favorable to Republicans and leaving off those favorable to Dems like WV, CO, WA etc.

12. I appreciate the warning
But it's on a par with "Don't chop off your hands" or "Don't drive off that cliff" or thinking back to my college days, "Don't put your penis into that vagina". Kinda unnecessary.

13. They don't mean to be mean...
It's just that asshats like Drudge make their money based somewhat on traffic to their site, so people here don't like to add to his bottom line.

So rather than tell us all to check out drudge, better form would have been to copy and paste something, or just summarize what you found to be worth commenting on.

"Drudge says Sarah Palin will have a two-headed alien baby..." or whatever crap he's spewing over there.

14.  Because Drudge
Spreads RW disinformation and malicious gossip and calls it news, therefore is not popular here.

I personally avoid sites that make me feel like I'll catch a computer virus, so if there is something you want to point out from drudge just say what it is, if you please.:-)

16. Not being mean or crazy.
We just want you to understand that if you want us to see something on a right-wing website, you should post a summary of it instead of asking people to go there.

As you've learned, we won't go there.

We don't drive traffic (which is like the lifeblood of a website) to right-wing websites.

17. If I was mean, I apologize
It's cool. Double posts happen all the time, especially when the board is in DEFCON.

As you can see, Drudge is not popular here. DUers get squicked out by the mere mention of his awful site.

Stick around. Election night is one hell of a ride. :)

20. I'm Not Sorry
Go back and read Kaiser's original post. It was edited to say it was great that all the dems were losing except Boxer.

This poster is a drive--by hater.

19. You Edited Your Post To Say It Was Great The Dems Were Losing
And you want to know why people are mean on a democratic website.

Just, DUH!
