"It is NObama for me"...

[Labors of Hercules]

"I may be a registered democrat, but it is NObama for me."

This is from a woman I KNOW is progressive and just registered DEMOCRATIC.

I was shocked! Has anyone else heard this sentiment from a registered Democrat?

I really don't know what to make of it.

:wtf:

[AspenRose]

1. Who's she planning to vote for if she just registered Democratic?

[Labors of Hercules]

14. dunno.

I would guess McSame. :shrug:

[phleshdef]

2. I dunno, but I bet she was awake all night thinking that one up...

Talk about unrivaled wit... :banghead:

[yourguide]

3. She is a PUMA.

Also known as a republican. Sometimes known as a racist bitter old woman who cares more about anatomy than issues.

[knixphan]

5. yep.

Puma. Ignore her.

[Labors of Hercules]

9. She's 24.

[Demi_Babe]

4. nope...never heard anything like this...the dems I know and I know many are fired up about Obama

[Skidmore]

6. Then it's no women's rights for her if McCain/Palin get in because of those like her..

Perhaps she needs to hear that and be asked to reconsider.

[cdb]

7. Ask her why. Turn her around... n/t

[Labors of Hercules]

18. can't. I have to be strictly non-partisan.

[Onlooker]

8. Hillary brought some new voters into the process

They are not political, but they were excited about a woman candidate. These are the people who are supporting McCain solely because of Palin. I know someone like that. I do think that if Obama indicated that Hillary would play a key role in his administration it might persuade some of these women to back him.

[BlooInBloo]

25. I'm shocked that Clinton-supporters are allowing this any-vagina-works jackassery....

to go unchallenged. Feminists, and anyone who cares about equality, should be incensed by such drivel.

(shrug) Maybe the poster is correct. Maybe any-vagina-is-good-enough is true for Clinton supporters. If so, I don't want to ever hear a Clinton-supporter whine about sexism.

[Metric System]

34. WTF are you talking about? The majority of Hillary supporters are now supporting Obama! You're going

to bash us over the stupidity of a select few?

[BlooInBloo]

36. I guess I missed all of the Clinton supporters dogging that post.

[Metric System]

37. Ugh.

[jberryhill]

10. I have, but I talked her off of the ledge /nt

[d_b]

11. that's ok

I've met many repubs who won't be voting mccain/palin.

[Overseas]

12. If she just registered Democratic recently, she doesn't sound too progressive.

Wouldn't she have been registered Democratic to oppose Bush in 2000 and 2004 as well?

She may be a fake progressive. Sounds like a Republican in disguise to keep the "disgruntled feminists" (who want to vote against their own interests) myth alive.

[mitchum]

26. I believe that you have nailed it (n/t)

[SmokingJacket]

13. Any explanation?

All the Democrats (and independents) I know are voting for Obama.

[BlooInBloo]

15. For a lot of white folks, black trumps all.

[NatBurner]

21. ^^

[DevonRex]

23. Yep. The only reason a dem wouldn't vote for Obama is racism.

It's pretty simple.

[coalition_unwilling]

38. I've got it -- she's a progressive racist - n/t

[seabeyond]

16. my son was telling me about history teacher with no obama sticker. he got all ap this year BUT the

history, the repug teacher. he has for 7 grades made a's in history adn end of last year pulled 89, with 90's thru out year and wasnt recommended for ap in history. had ap for english, science adn math, but his easiest class, .... he didnt get recommended. yesterday he told me she has a no obama and thought it odd. must be nobama..... isnt that the cutest. i have held tongue on this teacher cause i am "allowed" in this district and an excellent school. but dont think i will be able to NOT say something about this.

she was never a dem.... so must just be nobama

[Dawgs]

17. My question is what are you going to do about it?

I don't mean to offend, but there is no excuse in letting our friends or family vote for anyone but Obama.

I think you need to start teaching this woman something.

You can start by telling her that a loss for Obama will give us 20-30 years of a Republican dominated supreme court - or 7 of the 9 judges will be not very old conservatives at the end of McCain's first term. It's not a matter of when Roe vs. Wade will be overturned.

[Labors of Hercules]

28. I can't say anything.

She submitted her registration to me in my professional capacity.

[melody]

19. She's a bigot

And thus an idiot. We never had this voter to begin with.

[Alhena]

20. And WHY is this worth a separate thread?

Go to Hillaryis44 and you'll find tons of people like this.

[PatGund]

22. The only "Democrats" I've heard it from....

Are people in the "PUMA" / "Just Say No Deal" crowd. Which are mostly GOP plants or dupes, plus some bitter dead-enders that are ignoring everything Sen. Clinton has ever stood for.

If the person also goes off on tears about how Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, and Donna Brazzle "appointed" Sen. Obama, then it's pretty much assured they're a PUMA/JSND. Their mind is made up, don't confuse them with facts.

It's amazing how they can claim to be progressives, and yet spout comments and insults that wouldn't be out of place at Free Republic.

[AtomicKitten]

24. The primary campaign against Obama was caustic and apparently still resonates.

Bitterness begets bitterness, emotionalism beyond reason.

[trashcanistanista]

27. Yes, I posted elsewhere about it.

It is racism. I let them go. I focus on peeling off republicans. I've had better luck with that. For every Dem that won't go with Obama I can usually find at least two republicans who will. I'm in California, so I have that luxury to let it go. There is a type of republican that is a "goldwater repub" (I am learning) that will not vote for McCain/Pallen. At least that's what I'm finding in California. Consider this an option to deal with this issue.

[OHdem10]

29. I saw a couple of Campaign Buttons at RNConvention. they

were lapel pins with NObama.

[trashcanistanista]

31. They come into our office and drop off money for

democratic candidates without changing their registration and I have had a few come up to me quietly and admit they are voting Obama. I know this is out of everyone's comfort level, but we need to approach the repubs as well, maybe narrow it to those who are active voters and little more knowledgeable. They are out there and a vote is a vote.

[ieoeja]

30. Maybe she "just registered" as part of Rush Limbaugh's Operation Chaos. n/t

[chatnoir]

32. So this woman would prefer the anti-woman, Palin?

That makes a helluva lot of sense.

[BlueInPhilly]

35. Unfortunately, I know of 2 lifelong female Dems

who won't be voting for Obama, and I am from the Philly suburbs. One is turned off by Biden, the other one, I'm not sure - we were all Kerry supporters in 2004. One is in her early 40s and the other is almost at retirement age.

So if I sound sad and defeated, please understand. There are dems I know who will NOT vote for a Rep, period, and then there are my 2 friends who need to get their heads examined.

[rufus dog]

33. Do you live in a state that allowed switching for the primary?

I had a former good friend who upon his visit to my house stated "I wouldn't vote for him because he is black." His wife chimed in that she switched so she could vote for Clinton to fuck up the Dem's. They are from Texas, you may have run across one of these great Americans!
