Democrats Against Obama are

[Aida F]

IDIOTS! Go ahead elect a Republican and see what you get!

[Angry Dragon]

1. Who says there are democrats against Obama??

[tammywammy]

5. No, no, no. It's the Democarats that are against Obama.

[provis99]

2. I agree. Democarats against Obama are indeed idiots.

or is that idiotates?

[roguevalley]

3. yawn. flame bait.

[joeybee12]

37. Every election, same old tired argument...

an argument that doesn't hold water...

[tammywammy]

4. I don't like any Democarats.

[pinboy3niner]

6. Obviously, Democarats are 1-percenters :)

[Aida F]

7. Thanks for the spellcheck!!!

LOL!

[gateley]

8. They're not the only ones who will get a living hell, so will the rest of us. nt

[Angry Dragon]

9. If you are going to call carats idiots then you need to join in the discussion

[Cali_Democrat]

10. Hello Aida!

Welcome to DU!

30. ROFLMFAO

Don't forget to give her a "Fond Farwell" too. Heh

[99th_Monkey]

11. Calling me an "idiot" is a very poor start at "winning" my vote

for Obama's 2nd term.

Obama has done MANY things I strongly object to (NDAA being chief
among them), but there's STILL a reasonably good chance that I will
STILL vote for him in Nov. ... I'd bet money on it.

But every comment like yours that I hear or see, between now and Nov.
will lessen the odds of my winning the bet.

If you want to wax elequent to exert meaningful pressure for a better
world, please address it to Obama, not to Lib/Dems who have been
wondering what the fuck happened to Mr. Hope and Change on the way
to the Inauguration.

I've not seen a more classic case of generating "unintended consequences"
than your post.

[AtomicKitten]

12. You do know NDAA passed with a veto-proof 86-14 vote, right?

If Pres O had vetoed it, Congress had enough votes to overturn the veto making the president look weak ... and it still would become law. Signing it effected the exact same outcome as not signing it.

If you want to blame someone, I would suggest you direct your attention at the weasel Democrats in Congress that aided and abetted Republicans in pushing this travesty through.

You are responsible for your own vote. Nobody is going to spoon-feed it to you, so stop trying to recruit people to blame for your lack of clarity.

[FarLeftFist]

13. Shhhh. Obama is KING. Don't ruin it for everybody!

[AtomicKitten]

16. I told him not to wear the pointy hat in public.

[99th_Monkey]

19. Funny Pic.. nice +1 ~nt

[ClassWarrior]

49. That crown doesn't have real jewels in it. Just demo-carats.

:groan:

NGU.

[99th_Monkey]

17. He still didn't have to stoop to actually signing it.

then there's him hiring Wall St. insiders to "fix" Wall St., Holder's DoJ obsession with
raiding legal pot dispensaries (in violation of state law), continuing the obscene War
on Drugs (read War on People of Color who get caught with a refer), .. you know the
list as well as I do..

On Edit: just to say, I am TOTALLY encouraged by Obama's recent stance on both
Tar Sands and SOPA, where he seems to be growing a spine... absolutely LOVE these
developments, and will continue to give credit where it is due.

[AtomicKitten]

21. Glad to see those recent developments too.

The announcement today incited a happy dance.

[99th_Monkey]

22. You just made me smile really big

thanks ...

[MNBrewer]

23. If the Democrats really believed that his threat to veto was any more than a bluff

and it was a bluff, they wouldn't have voted for the bill. Obama effectively communicated that he wanted the bill passed, so the Dems voted for it.

[EFerrari]

26. Translation: You just don't understand politics.

LOL

[MinervaX]

34. That's G 47 on my card.

[frylock]

43. how many arms did obama twist to get democrats to vote nay on ndaa?

leaders lead.

[texshelters]

48. The right question!

Thanks.

PTxS

[texshelters]

46. So, why try to defeat a bill

that has a detention section that is un-Constitutional in it? Why veto a bill and work with your party to make it better? Why fight and stand up for the rights of Americans? Why work to defend the rights of America? Why not just cede your role as president and the leadership of your party because you might lose while being on the right side of a moral issue? The truth is Obama wasn't that opposed to the bill.

His lack of fight against diminution of our rights and other Republican style laws are exactly the reasons many Democrats don't fully back Obama this time.

Peace,
Tex Shelters

[morningfog]

61. There is a difference between a vote on a bill and a vote to override a veto.

The two are not synonymous, although such a wide margin is obviously not in a President's favor. We will never know how a veto and a re-framing by the President would have changed the debate. IMO, even with an override, he would have appeared stronger. He would have come across as one with conviction.

I blame the republicans, the Democrats in Congress and the President who signed the bill.

[1stlady]

15. Really?

So the op has to win your vote for Obama's 2nd term. I thought that was Obama's job to win your vote. The choice is simple, you can either vote for Obama, or live in rethuglican hell. Its your choice.

[99th_Monkey]

18. Read my post again

I encouraged OP to address their ire to Obama, not me.

I'm not the fucking President.

How exactly is that asking OP to "win my vote" again?

[sufrommich]

33. You should totally base your vote on

anonymous posters on the internet that piss you off. Why not?

[99th_Monkey]

38. Oh gee, what was I thinking?

I will attempt to mend my nefarious ways.

[treestar]

44. We aren't going to beg you for your vote

Rather silly to use your vote to get attention in this way. There are millions of us with votes. They are meaningless until tallied up.

[99th_Monkey]

45. My point was

that name-calling (ie YOU IDIOT!!) is not only against DU TOS,
it's also counter-productive.

Do you not agree?

[AtomicKitten]

14. Not a big fan of name-calling, but welcome to DU.

[99th_Monkey]

20. funny how now with DU3

one must click on poster's name to find out how many posts they have made on DU,
whereas it was clearly visible just by reading the post w/ DU2.

[sabrina 1]

24. I hope you're not working for the Obama campaign.

[DeathToTheOil]

25. Idiots? No.

Naive? Yes.

[texshelters]

50. More name calling

well done.

Just because we disagree doesn't mean we are naive or idiots. Stop acting like Republicans with the name calling and unsupported comments.

PTxS

[emilyg]

27. Unrec.

[booley]

28. of course they are

Don't worry about WHY they might oppose Obama or who they are or if they have a point.

Lets group people worried over stuff like the NDAA and treatment of whistleblowers and those who don't think Obama is doing enough along with birthers and racists. Yes clearly they are all the same.

And calling them idiots will surely make them see the error of their ways better then any dialogue will.

We save time and energy.

[datasuspect]

29. No, they're "fucking retarded" or "fucking retards" or whatever Rahmulous said

fart

[texshelters]

53. Reread your comment

and look in the mirror.

Disagreeing is no excuse for your ad hominem attacks.

It only makes you look uneducated.

PTxS

[hifiguy]

31. Just because I disagree with some of the POTUS'

policies - and I do so fairly often with considerable vigor - does not mean I am "against" him given the alternatives.

Dissent, it should be remembered, does not equal disloyalty or support of a Repuke.

[WI_DEM]

32. We saw what happened when Bush II took over from Clinton

but it's just getting worse now. Yet, there are those who say there is no difference between Obama and the GOP.

[bigwillq]

35. How is your post encouraging folks to vote for Obama?

Name-Calling isn't a very good strategy, imo.


Welcome to DU!

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

36. Some Democrats are "holding his feet to the fire" as he requested.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

39. PPR! Posting privileges revoked! Buh-bye, Aida! ;) n/t

[tkmorris]

40. Huh! I wonder what made that happen

I kinda doubt it was this thread. Any idea?

[William769]

41. Read the transparency page.

[Robb]

55. "Telling another member to fuck off."

Brusque, I suppose. Bannable for the language, I guess?

[William769]

58. I'm just providing the information.

[Robb]

59. Copy that.

I suppose there is often more to the story.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

52. I do miss the ol' tombstone. nt

[quinnox]

42. bye Aida F!

only 15 posts and you were tombstoned, try better next time honey.

[whatchamacallit]

51. Awesome post!

Life changing, really.

[texshelters]

54. I must be the smart on here

for I am not a registered Democrat. I do vote so in most cases though.

And as others have stated, insults do not produce support or make you look educated or event intelligent.

Peace,
Tex Shelters

[progressoid]

56. Awww

[Autumn]

57. Aida F has left the building

what a fucking idiot she was.

[L0oniX]

60. You're either with us or against us - George Bush

[Marrah_G]

62. How about those of us who disagree with a great deal of what he has done?

Are we allowed to voice our opinions? Are we allowed to uphold the same ideals we always have?
