Idiots , stupid childish idiots
Does anyone here realize voting is not a horse race or some kind of game consisting of soley win or lose , Horray for our side sort of crap .

Do you realize you are splitting the party with your endless posts of this one has got 5 million votes and that one is a women and the other is a male or black or yellow or green , who the hell cares .

You will end up hopefully for all your efforts a candidate just as simple minded and childish as all of you and then you can go home and go back to your lifes while the country goes right down the tube for your efforts .

Come on and bash me and only reinforce how stupid you really are and how very childish . You call this politics and voting , you have turned it into a fools game .

23. yes it makes it worse , but the constant bashing from both sides
makes the american people look even more foolish because of their fighting and taking sides they don't even see this let alone their fighting that continues without let up makes them crack in half whatever hope there may be of at least keeping a repub out .

3. Nonsense. The party isn't splitting.
Democrats are passionate people and they fight passionately for their choice but we will support the nominee in November.

21. The party is splitting.
Most of the people pushing Obama do not self-identify as Democrats. They identify as Progressives. They don't care about the party at all. They care only about winning with the celebrity. When Michelle Obama says she isn't sure she can vote for Hillary if she gets the nomination you ought to be able to figure it out. These people are not Democrats - they are opportunists.

7. Welcome to politics. Your head would have exploded in 1960
I can only imagine what DU would have looked like after JFK stole the WV primary. (Which I'm pretty sure members of my family helped to steal).

22. And was finally stolen in Chicago - Joe Kennedy and his mob connections.
Maybe that is why Ted endorsed Obama - still paying back the mob for that earlier help.

10. Stupid, Childish Idiots... PRACTICING DEMOCRACY!
I say "practicing" because I believe "Democracy" is something that will never be "perfected" without MUCH trial and error. Kind of like EVOLUTION. Like, MEDICINE (ya win some, ya lose some).

Boy, do I feel stupid!

12. You're the one name-calling
I call that childish and foolish. Of course politics is more than a horse race, but face it - part of it is. People get caught up in it. Get off the high horse and ignore it if it doesn't float your boat.

13. This is the scenario, IF Obama gets into office, he will have so much of Bush's shit to clean up,
that he won't be able to accomplish anything else! At the end of his first term, the country will blame him for not getting anything accomplished and in comes the GOP to take over for the next cycle. And that is assuming Obama will even get there and the GOP hasn't slaughtered him based on race & inexperience. Don't kid yourself RACE will play a role in the GE, because that's how inmature Americans in this country are!!!!

But all that is really a moot point because either candidate will probably destroy the Democratic party because of the devisive effect their nomination will have. In that respect the DU Dems seem to be as immature as the GOP right wing.

27. Myeah seeeee
Myeah!

The only people that stick around for a bit to read the shit we throw at the internets here before and after the primary are Dems. The people who wouldn't vote for either candidate in the general probably don't vote in most elections anyways :shrug:

Anyone addicted to politics enough to read all this crap won't be able to stay away from a GE IMO. Except for a few pissy people that are willing to ruin the country to spare their pride. To hell with em!
