"Obama Smokes" This is what we're resorting to? Are You Kidding me?

[IndieLeft]

I can't believe it. I really can't. This is really an issue to Hillary supporters? Really? You have to be joking, right?

***I know this is not the tactics of MOST Cliton supporters.(my edit)

Last I heard, Obama quit, not that it matters. And even if he didn't so what.

I have been a smoker since I was 12 years old... 17 years. Today, I got up, put on the patch, and I've been pulling my hair out waiting for the thing to kick in.

If you have never been a smoker, then you have NO idea how difficult it is to quit, especially if you've been doing to for a long time.

But seriously... seeing this over and over again, just makes me so happy.

You know why? Because if that's what they got, if this is the Elephant in the room, so to speak, then bring it on.

If this is what they have to toss around, that just means there is NOTHING of and substance to attack with.

That means Obama is IN! Ride the wave baby! Ride the wave!

1. Obama eats babies

At least, that's what I've heard.

[IndieLeft]

9. did you see that headzup vid of bush eating babies?

[Cronus Protagonist]

10. Here's a screen shot (graphic)

2. Prozac 10 mg

Seriously. It's $4 at Walmart. If you have problems getting off the patch, the Prozac will ease over the last bit of jitters. Good Luck!

And that Obama Smokes thread was my last straw on that poster. :eyes:

[IndieLeft]

7. Thanks... I was able to cut down to 5-6 cigarettes a day by myself

but I couldn't quit. So, I bought the full strenght patch and cut it in half, cuz I didn't want to get more addicted... you know.

so i'll do this at first, then i'll switch down like it says....

It's kicking in now, actually. Sitting here laughing now, higher than a kite of a nicotine patch! LMAO.

[sandnsea]

17. tootsie pops

sugar free mints, they also help. And also thinking about a totally new way to live, all the things that you didn't do because of smoking. That will help offset those moments when you lit a cigarette "instead". You also might get some emotions to deal with, don't worry about them, just observe as "that's interesting". The key thing is to get through the next 3 months without a cigarette. That is ALL that matters in your life right now.

In a few years, you'll be sooo glad you quit!'

:hi:

[IndieLeft]

21. Well, I don't drink, so that will help

But, my mom might be upset if I quit taking her calls. LOL>

It really is my only vice left, you know. I drink about 6 beers a year, and quit doing drugs years ago.

I was gonna get twizzlers, but the tootsie pops are a good idea too. keep me busy for a few minutes.

[EFerrari]

30. If you clean the oilly stuff off of your clothes, walls, car interior

it really helps because the smell of the stuff triggers you before you even know it.

Good luck!

[IndieLeft]

33. I always smoked outside, and not in the car

So, that won't be a problem. I have been preparing for a while. The goal was to quit before I was 30. They say if you quit by then, if ten years your lungs are supposed to be like you never smoked, and don't have to worry about lung cancer. So, I'm 5 months ahead of schedule.

Thanks for the tips.

[Window]

35. Can you really buy Prozac over the counter?

I really didn't know that.




Peace:thumbsup:

[sandnsea]

39. No, call your doctor

Fluoxetine prescription, $4 at Walmart. If you have a family doctor, they would most likely be happy to call in a one month prescription if they know you're going to use it to quit smoking.

[Window]

44. Oh, okay.

Thank you.



Peace:thumbsup:

46. It shows his lack of judgment and character.

Not a big deal, but a glimpse into his psyche.

[Kajsa]

3. I heard this news from a friend yesterday.

Where is this story coming from?

Why is this the FIRST I've ever heard of it? ( yesterday)

:shrug:

[cd3dem]

4. It's a question of judgment, RIGHT from day one!

[Hugabear]

8. So if somebody has ever smoked in their life, then you can't support them?

If so, I'm glad to see that you've managed to live a completely perfect life.

[cd3dem]

41. from his own mouth... it is about judgment, RIGHT from DAY ONE!

I think in this day of age.. .it is quite clear the harm one does to oneself smoking...

[ErnestoG]

5. Just pathetic, isn't it.

[etherealtruth]

6. Idiocy at its "finest"

I am not a big supporter (or Clinton for that matter) ... but, this is ridiculous.

[tekisui]

11. I don't believe that honest Clinton supporters are using this.

This comes from those who bash, and bash one candidate exclusively. They don't support Clinton or any other Dem. Only bash one, and you are led to believe that they are a supporter of the other by default. They are simply disruptors.

[IndieLeft]

22. I am beginning to see that.

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

12. Try using nicotine gum instead of patch, works more like having

a smoke.

[tridim]

16. But then you miss out on patch dreams

Some people hate them, but I loved every minute.

I did the patch first and then moved on to lozenges. Now I'm addicted to them, but it's still better than tobacco.

[IndieLeft]

34. That's what I told my mom today.

She's gonna be 49 this year, and wants to quit. I told her that even if she switches to the patch and can't get off it, it's still better for her than smoking.

[IndieLeft]

24. If the patch doesn't work, I will.

I just spent the money on this, so if it's too hard then I'll switch.

Thanks!

[saracat]

13. And O's fans taunt Hill for crying. I smoked for over 30 years and just stopped.

2 packs a day.Dorals. My first brand was Benson and Hedges 100's. I just stopped.It wasn't really bad.I took deep breaths.Seriously.I inhaled and started walking when I talked on the phone.It may not be the same for everyone but it was not a biggie for me. Both these arguments are stupid.

[IndieLeft]

26. You're very lucky.

I become an absolute wreck.

But, regardless of all that.... It is stupid. And I am inclined to believe we have some.... others.... among us spewing shit.

[saracat]

37. Seiously, pretend you are smoking and deeply inhale! it works!

Also suck the air through your teeth! It somehow gave me the same effect! And I remined myself is was waaaay cheaper! Good Luck to you!

[saracat]

38. I have NO idea how my reply became a poll! But of course it is not one.Sorry and I can't edit or

delete it!

[Catherine Vincent]

14. One troll posts about Obama smoking and you're all dramatic.

:eyes:

[Unsane]

15. He actually doesn't.

Michelle made him quit before the campaign.

[Dogmudgeon]

18. The first one I saw was a gag thread

That was about an hour and a half ago.

Has it really gone downhill that fast?

--p!

[radfringe]

19. apparantly he also has been know to fart

and Hillary can burp then entire Nutcracker Suite after chugging a couple kegs

:evilgrin:

[hfojvt]

20. you cannot have progressive cred if you smoke

Cannot find a link to the battles we had over this on DU. But they were epic.

[Jawja]

23. Does he DRINK, too????

Oh, my.


:wow:

[EFerrari]

27. The rumor is he was once seen dancing at a church picnic!

:rofl:

[Jamastiene]

25. Wow, I had to admit, this was a good tactic.

I should start a thread in the same vein. How can I start a pro-Hillary thread and include cornflakes, Laura Branigan or circumcision, I wonder?

[IndieLeft]

31. It's very simple

just find something that has absolutely nothing to do with being president, having to do with a campaign that people are being critical about your candidate, and give it the same title.

Of course, first it has to be something that has been posted on here as an attack. That's how you do it.

Unfortunately, that isn't happening to Hillary. So I don't know what you are going to do.

[Jamastiene]

45. I don't know.

She cried and apparently that killed some kittens somewhere. :eyes:

[sandyj999]

28. Oh No!! n/t

[BlackVelvet04]

29. No, for most Hillary supporters it's not only not an issue

it's a fucking embarrassment that a Hillary supporter would make a big deal out of it.

[trof]

32. I heard he bites his fingernails too.

And his toenails.
yuck

[1corona4u]

36. Obama smokes/Hillary cries....

talk to the hand.

[ErnestoG]

40. Hillary cries over herself.

[Lil Missy]

42. That stupid thread was started by someone who just joined 2 days ago. Igonore. n/t

[Patsy Stone]

43. He breastfeeds at the Olive Garden, too.

Just sayin'...
