(518 posts)"Tea party Sen. Rand Paul is a greater champion of privacy and opponent of empire than any of his liberal colleagues, Curry writes. And the tea party as a whole has railed loudest against big banks and corporate corruption.
That alone should have been enough for a vote to hide. Witch I did. Jury said leave it.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS
More Democrat punching from the radical left, with the help of election-spoiler Ralph Nader. This just gets really fucking old. The jury will probably rule against me, but at least I'm standing up for what I believe.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Jul 29, 2014, 01:54 PM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: while I agree with the analysis of movement to the center by the democratic party under Clinton and maintained by Obama as detrimental to the progressive wing of our party, I can't stand Nader. He's not a person to be trusted. Yet the points Curry makes are true. I also think we have lost our bearings. Yes, more Independents and undecideds will/might join our voting for a Democratic candidate but the center is not where I prefer our party to be. Realistically, that's where we have to stay, in the center, if we hope to appeal to the masses. Nothing inappropriate that I can read in the OP
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: While I disagree with much of what it says, it is not "disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate". It is a point of view which certain progressives take, and should be discussable.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Just more ratfucking. Hide it.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Fuck Nader, and note to alerter: From my own hard left hard core environmentalist perspective, Nader has NEVER been one of us. He's always been an opportunistic tool. I vote to leave the post for further Nader bashing.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Repeating arguments that many Democrats have already made isn't "Democrat punching"
Leave it.
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
