Pregnant, amputee veteran democrat not allowed proxy vote by Democrats.

Ok so I know that's what the rules say but cant we fix situtations like this?

1. How about not using FOX links here.

2. You can post a couple of paragraphs from the article

so people will know what you're talking about and also so people don't have to click on Faux Nooz.

Interesting set of initials for your screen name, btw, starting with "fx" and all.

3. i saw the story and didnt pay any attention to the source.

I'm not afraid to read multiple sources. Whats the deal with my screen name?
what problem do you have with it?

4. No problem, just an observation.

As for sources, posting articles from right-wing sources is usually frowned upon. If you have a choice, it's better to choose one without a rightward bent.

5. I see,

so no comment on the content of the article? better to slam a fellow liberal instead?

6. "Slam?"

Nope. Just trying to be helpful to a new poster and you're welcome.

Bye now.

8. Yes - I'm completely convinced you are a fellow liberal and not a troll.

And it would be terrible to slam a fellow liberal.

Of course if you were a RW troll here to shame us with a fox news story than I wouldn't care about slamming you - in fact I'd be in favor of it. Because if you were a RW troll you'd be a useless shit here to waste time and create problems - but as a fellow liberal I know you have nothing but our best interests at heart.

That's a pretty slanted article by the way - I'm surprised that, as a fellow liberal, you didn't notice that it was so biased and slanted.
