A vote for Obama is a vote for the destruction of the Democratic Party
A vote for Obama is a vote for:

permanent Dem minority status in Congress

a shrinking Democratic base

whitewash of Bush's crimes

playing footsie and with the very republicans who've fucked up our nation

a newly energized Republican party

the disillusionment of millions of potential young voters

the affirmation of the lock step politics

the perpetuation of the Republican oligarchy

the modern destruction of the Democratic Party


That is all.

I just had to do it people. Nothing like seeing the hysteria posted from another point of view to get shit rolling.

27. He stole the other slogan, too.

"Yes We Can" is La Raza's slogan, except they say it in Espanol, natch. "Si Se Puedes"

4. there is just as much hysteria from the other side, just as vicious
attacks. At least proportionately. In fact, considering there are fewer Hill supporters, there are more proportionately. And if you actually looked, you'd see that.

19. I don't care who gets the nom. What I do care about are the hysterics being posted
about one candidate and it's accepted.

But about the other it isn't.

That is kinda fucked up in my book.

26. Maybe because one candidate has invited the criticism?
If it wasn't so true, it'd be easy to dispel.

33. It's an outgrowth of an outrageous candidate vs. a normal one
Hillary's people bad mouth Obama, she and Bill offer him a seat in the back of their bus, etc., and no head roll. On the other hand a woman on Obama's side calls Hillary a monster and she gets fired. Hillary is not playing by an type of rules, whereas Obama is trying to maintain some decorum.

15. Ah so you're taking this personal and then you're making this persona. ROFL.
Actually I'm not a Hillary supporter. But what about all the Republicans supporting Obama?
They are still republicans right?

16. bullshit. there are plenty of good dems and good liberals
who support Clinton. I disagree with them, sometimes vehemently, but they're assholes on both sides, and good people on both sides.

24. Tell me of some of the true Democratic ideals ........
......that the Clintons have actively worked towards and helped get made into law in either Bill's two presidential terms or Hillary's 2 terms as Senator.

Then look at how many originally GOP inspired ideas Bill and Hillary helped get made into law.

The Clintons have always been good at talking like liberals when the polls are still open, but when it counts they are right leaning in what they actively work towards once they've been elected.

13. This is just plain silly
and is just not reality based. If all Dems work together either one will beat McLaim.

31. The Republican base will despise Obama just as much.

It's the Democrats and Independents and a few Republicans who will crossover who will elect Hillary Clinton.

Clinton can beat McCain. Obama can't because the media will destroy him.
