13. Represents everything that's wrong with America today
More interested in appearances than accomplishment, narcissistic, passive aggressive, shallow, hypocritical, exploits religion and race.:tinfoilhat:bama is trying to stop the first woman with real chance of being president for an un winnable vanity campaign that will cause us to lose an easy to win election after losing so many.

4. His campaign is based on a lie?
Rezko, Chicago deals, No attacks claim, His negative undertones pushing Repub lines to get himself a bump?

To name a few!

8. No but he endorses a dangerous anti-gay message which is personal against us.
Telling gay teens, for instance, that they can "change" if they're not happy, that they are less than worthy in God's sight ("God saved me from homosexuality"...)- - -the whole McClurkin affair was a personal affront to gays.

11. Nope

And I don't have anything personal against Clinton.
I don't care for a few of her votes but she would make a fine president

16. I do
I am deeply concerned that he has bought into right-wing talking points both about Social Security being in crisis, and now embracing the idea that universal coverage in health care means that the government will garnish wages to pay for it.

These things are going to be hard to run away from if Obama is the nominee to run against Republicans in November.

20. Yep I can tell you when each one of them lost me
Clinton - when she said she didn't want to set a time table for with drawl of our troops in Iraq because she didn't want the ones who have died to die in vain - so let's see Hill lets have more die so we don't let the ones who have already died die in vain - fuck that makes sense to me

oh and by the way that was almost a quote of the same friggin thing the freak in chief had said a few days before

Obama started to lose me

when he didn't have the ball to vote one way or the other on Kyl LIEberman - he lost me completely due to his supporters on DU trying ENDLESSLY to give him credit for not voting for IWR... he did not vote against IWR and therefore should not get credit for it while bashing Clinton for voting for it

that's when they both lost me - that being said the piling on sexism on Hillary has made me a little less angry at her - and no matter which one gets the nomination I will vote for the Democratic nominee in November....

21. Yes, he's an asshole.
Edited on Sun Feb-03-08 10:00 PM by Andromeda
Why?

You're likeable enough, sez he smiling through his teeth.
People who voted for me won't vote for Hillary, etc.
BUT, people who voted for her will vote for me. (One of the worst!)
ME,ME,ME,ME,ME,ME, blech, blech :puke:
Hope, change, hope, change, blech, blech,
He's a homophobe.
Shady Chicago real estate deals.
Brought racism into the campaign.
HERE'S A GOOD ONE: Whined to CNN that Paul Begala and James Carville are saying they support Hillary. CNN won't let Begala and Carville come on CNN until after the primary. Can't have any Hillary supporters on CNN, doncha know!!
Waves his finger in the air, like he's trying to dry it off, at the Dem debates.
Don't like his health care plan.


ad nauseum

He's done a hell of a lot for us.

25. Obama lies alot & isn't held accountable for them. Kinda reminds me of Dubya.
Obama's polices about nuclear power and his right-wing talk of the "social-security" crisis is unconscionable.
