1. Wow! That is a pretty long list

The senate maybe the only hope. We'll see soon.

[rusty fender]

2. What a bunch of pathetic,

cowardly, opportunistic weasels

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

29. Why insult weasels with such comparisons?

[rusty fender]

43. LOLOLOL!

They're pond scum

[Purveyor]

3. A list of reasonable people that want to get re-elected in 2016... eom

[Logical]

14. LOL, nice try! I guess you are on board the "Fear Works" train. nt

[bbgrunt]

4. reminds me of the whole IWR/Patriot Act votes and the cowardice

involved when Dems decide to abandon all their principles for false expediency. shameful.

[JI7]

5. look at the type of districts they come from

50 state strategy means democrats like this .

[nxylas]

7. They seem to come from all over

I see representatives from California and Massachusetts in there, not just from darkest Teabagistan.

[JI7]

12. there are conservative areas within red states

The opposite is true also.

[beltanefauve]

9. My Congress critter

John Garamendi is on that list. Our district, in Northern California, is a reliable blue-collar Dem stronghold.

[Douglas Carpenter]

6. I may bitch and moan but I almost always end up voting Democratic anyway. But, I will NEVER vote for

anyone who supported this. They are traitors against the enlightenment and western democracy.

[murielm99]

8. I see a couple of Illinois Democrats on last list

whom I know. I don't understand this vote. They don't need to worry about their seats. Are they trading this for something else?

I will ask if I see either of them.

[Omaha Steve]

10. Switched parties to run as a D

Rep. Brad Ashford (Neb.)

[Waiting For Everyman]

11. Glad to see my rep on the list.

I will write and thank him.

I hear on the news, the ridiculous visa waver program will be addressed by some Dem input on this bill, which is an exponentially greater risk to us, than any refugee issue. Under that program, any of the Paris terrorists could've hopped a plane and been here no questions asked. The word "irresponsible" doesn't even cover that. Insane, is closer.

It's about time to get real, and at least stop being obviously stupid.

[Logical]

15. LOL, they have you scared also. It is working like they wanted. nt

[Waiting For Everyman]

16. Not scared, and not stupid.

And really don't care who likes it or doesn't.

[Logical]

17. Of course not, you are falling for the hype. Think on your own.. Unlike the GOP. nt

[Waiting For Everyman]

19. You might try that yourself.

I don't see any independent thought in your position -- not on this board anyway. In case you hadn't noticed, you're following the meme of the day here and I'm on the road less traveled.

[Logical]

21. You are falling for the 9/11 fear bullshit. Just move to the GOP side, you will feel safer. And.....

if is funny you think being for the GOP stand is a "road less traveled". Hmmmmm. Interesting. I don't think you belong here. But that is up to the admins.

Hide today, a terrorist might be next door!!!

[Waiting For Everyman]

22. I don't think it's for you to say where I should go

based on whether you like my opinion. Who the hell are you?

[Logical]

23. I am a liberal who does not fall for the Media fear bullshit. And then try to justify it by saying..

I am a rebel.

Go into hiding, you will feel safer.

[Waiting For Everyman]

24. I'll do what I like thanks.

This "discussion" is done. Pointless trivia doesn't interest me.

[Logical]

25. Ahh, how cute. Scared of refugees but tough online. I love it. nt

37. AUTOMATED MESSAGE: Results of your Jury Service

On Fri Nov 20, 2015, 09:01 AM an alert was sent on the following post:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=7364515

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Logical, I like you but this post goes too far. You're attacking the poster and telling them they don't belong here at DU. Not cool. Deep breaths, my friend. Don't get wrapped up in all of the drama and never make it personal.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri Nov 20, 2015, 09:14 AM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I don't know the ins and outs of what happens when people invoke the admins in a post, but this didn't seem "over the top" to me. The conversation seemed a bit abrupt and hotheaded on both sides, actually, but neither poster seemed hugely out of line to me.
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Rats! I was hoping to serve on an exciting jury. I wanted O.J. and got Winona.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given

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

[Logical]

40. Thanks for posting this! nt

[G_j]

32. Cowards and bigots agree with you. nt

[Waiting For Everyman]

47. Name callers and blind followers agree with you.

[djean111]

13. The usual Floridian DINOs.

Anyone who thinks Patrick Murphy is an actual Democrat is just plain silly.

[pampango]

18. Fear works on some Democrats, too.

If we vote like a republican, we are more likely to get elected. I think that is the mindset of too many Democratic politicians.

Of course, when you abandon liberal principle to vote with republicans in response to fear, you get what you deserve.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

30. So true! Bernie has shown us the way...time to join the political revolution.

Bernie & Elizabeth 2016!!!

[snooper2]

42. It's not fear, we have enough people here, How about Saudi Arabia, Yemen, UAE, Qatar

start taking some people in?

[pampango]

45. I agree that others should do more. Germany and Sweden probably agree even more.

That has not stopped liberal Europeans from accepting many refugees. Nor should it stop us. We should not mimic the conservative countries of the Gulf but the liberal countries of Europe.

[ellenrr]

20. and response by Reps Grijalva and Ellison, co-chairs of Congressional Progressive caucus:

Reps. Raúl M. Grijalva (D-Ariz.) and Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), who co-chair the Congressional Progressive Caucus, called the bill a direct assault on “a fundamental American value” which is to “provide a safe haven for our most vulnerable neighbors.”

Grijalva and Ellison said they were proud to oppose the bill which they characterized as a repetition of a past mistakes that have tarnished American history. “Syrian refugees are fleeing persecution and violence from the very same terrorists that attacked Paris last week,” they said. “We cannot allow fear-mongering to influence policy that could mean the difference between life and death for these desperate families.” We stand proudly against misguided attempts to repeat past mistakes that tarnish our nation’s history.

The bill, they said, “diverts resources from where they are really needed by creating an excessive review process that would add years to the resettlement process and prevent thousands of people from getting the protection they need. Our Syrian refugee vetting process is already the most comprehensive in the world, and these changes would stretch the federal government’s limited resources. Closing our doors to Syrian refugees fleeing violence and persecution isn’t just morally wrong; it threatens our national security by fueling the extremist narrative that the West is at war with Islam.”

[bullwinkle428]

38. Two of our very best - great to see them speaking out against this

piece of crap bill.

[Scuba]

26. I knew Ron Kind would appear on that list. He really needs to be primaried from the left.

Jennifer Schilling would be a great candidate for his house seat.

[modem77]

27. I don't have a problem bringing in the women and children

Or even fathers with their kids. I don't want the men who left their families behind coming here though.

28. Stephen Lynch doesn't surprise me at all, he is a DINO and an embarrassment to the MA delegation. n/t

[Le Taz Hot]

31. Yep. Costa.

Who votes with the Republicans, including ANTI-FUCKING-CHOICE, most of the time. AND the California Democratic Party has passed down an edict from on high -- don't even THINK about primarying any "Democrat" incumbent or we'll come after your ass. So . . . the only way to get rid of Costa is to get a Republican in the seat. Thanks, CDP!

[LostOne4Ever]

33. Shame on every last one of them!!!

[Javaman]

34. disgraceful. nt

[restorefreedom]

35. tulsi gabbard??

major disappointment, along with the cowards in ca,ct,ma,ri,and ny in particular.

i really thought that group would be better than this.

[alarimer]

36. Anyone who votes for this and anyone who supports this is a coward.

I have seen a number of people on this site, supposed progressives, falling for the fear bullshit. DON'T BUY INTO IT! It is nonsense.

I know there is no reasoning with the irrational, but let me try. Not one of those French attackers was a refugee. Not a single one. 7 of the 8 were either Belgian or French. And all were in the country legally. And not as refugees.

Also, you have a much better chance of dying in a car accident, in a house fire, or by falling in your shower, then do of being killed in a terrorist attack. You have a better chance of being eaten by a shark (which is still much less than your chances of being killed by a COW).

By all means, let fear run your life. Let it make you afraid of children from war-torn countries. It will not run mine.

41. Oregon's Shame-Dem Rep Kurt Schrader Caught

in Fetal Position sucking his thumb in GOP Rep Waldens bunker? Again?

And this Democrat (????!!!??) also recently voted to Authorize NA Casino's Rights to Ignore Labor Laws!

[pampango]

44. 13 of the 15 Blue Dogs are on that list. 63 of 68 Progressives voted against it.
