To those "democrats" swearing to vote for McCain if Obamas the nominee
Well at least I know Obama would never say anything demeaning like this to someones 15 y/o daughter. Here is what McCain said about Chelsea Clinton at a republican dinner in 1998. Keep in Mind he said this when she was 15, a freaking child.

"Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly?
Because her father is Janet Reno."

<snip>

"The joke may be crude, but it pales in comparison with the published details surrounding the presidential sex scandal. McCain's two-liner conveys some interesting insights into what he considers humorous (lesbianism, a young woman's physical appearance), particularly since it was delivered to a Republican crowd. Remember, this is the party that champions pro-family values.

McCain's lapse in judgment -- admittedly, not as big a lapse as having a sexual relationship with an intern -- may be a significant clue into aspects of his "character," and thus relevant to the voting public. But many voters have been spared this insight, thanks to the censors in the press. "

2. I will pull the straight Democratic lever, like I always do.
To me, you have to decide which team is yours, and which you will fight for. The name at the top doesn't change that. I may not work for a ticket that I think is sure poison in Texas, but I will vote it while I work to save down ballot races for Democrats.

An old, old friend and I had that conversation decades ago. He opted to go Republican. I swore allegiance to the Democratic party. When Democrats jump the ship, they're dead to me. This is my team, for better or worse, 'til death do us part.

6. thank you. it made me angry too, when I read that it actually made me like Hillary alot
and told me all there is to know about McCain. Who the fuck says something so nasty about a young child? Hillary takes alot of shit, and its unfair, but to go after her child is taking it to a whole new level.

7. Those "Democrats" are freeper trolls.
I know it's against TOS to point out a user's number of posts or date of registration, but next time one of these "Democrats" says they'd rather vote for McCain than Obama, check it for yourself. One might be surprised to see how many of them registered here in the past six months... or in February 2008.

I want to advise my fellow DUers against reading too much into the postings here on this board; there are many disruptors here strictly to create hate and discontent among loyal Democrats.

That doesn't mean I will pull the lever for Obama in the Fall... If the election was tomorrow I would leave that part of the ballot blank...

12. I would tend to agree with you...
...but I make no apologies for finding it funny. It kinda reminds me of those Ally McBeal episodes when Richard was obsessed with Janet Reno. I find it funny. So shoot me...

13. I can respect those who choose not to vote at all, or to write someone in.
Edited on Mon Feb-25-08 04:12 PM by Forkboy
But to vote for a Repub? That's just crazier than a box of frogs.
