When someone says to you that they are voting for McCain, do you

[daninthemoon]

immediately judge/question their intelligence? I do. It just shocks the shit out of me. Earlier today: woman I know cant't vote Obama because he can't control his mouth. I didn't understand, I asked her what she meant. (when she said it, my gut shock was that she somehow thought stuttering and stammering gw was a better communicator.) she said she couldn't vote for him because of that "clinging to their religion crack." " That's it? That one thing?" I told her that mccain lies and changes his stories daily, but you know how it is, when someone has something like that determining their vote, there's not a much you can do. This choice is even clearer than Gore v Bush. Obama is the only intelligent choice. Period.

1. It makes me very sad

I'm not surprised by it (where I live) but it does make me sad :(

[dbonds]

2. So she is 'Clinging' to that statement

[Pyrzqxgl]

3. I don't question their intelligence. I don't have to. I am so far superior in intelligence.

[IsItJustMe]

4. I always figure they are either straight up racists or religious nuts or people that have been

Republican so long they don't know how to change. So I guess the answer to your question, in a round about way is, YES.

5. Don't feel bad

My sister won't vote for Obama because "he's a socialist who will sell out the country and tear down our democracy." She warned me that if Obama is elected we won't even have elections in four more years. Obama will make elections illegal. I suggested she turn off Fox Noise and re-establish contact with reality. I feel so sorry for her, but what can I do?

13. I talk to some of these types, too

I am convinced they have never listened to Obama himself. They are relying completely on Rush Lamebaugh. The only way anyone could say, with a straight face, that he is a "socialist" is that they never have listened to him and never watched any debate and only listen to Lamebaugh and he told them.

19. Maybe you're right. It always seems to be a reference to some little

bit of nonsense that dittoheads and faux zombies bring up. Maybe they never have actually listened to Obama himself, or even visited his website.

6. Nobody has said that to me yet.

But if they did, I'd probably just laugh. Then call them up Tuesday night and laugh even harder.

[jillan]

7. I wonder what is wrong with them.

[union_maid]

8. Hasn't come up

Everyone I know is voting for Obama.

[kimmerspixelated]

9. What I do first of all,

Is try to resist the urge to roll my eyes, then, I wonder how handy the peptol dismal is!

[asdjrocky]

I kick them in the nuts. Sorry, I just can't help myself.

[Ozma]

11. Wow, you must be losing a lot of conservative guy friends!...

but maybe you didn't have that many idiot conservative friends to begin with, mostly liberal friends, like me, right?

[asdjrocky]

21. You know it.

Actually I can't think of a single neocon friend I have. I used to have a business partner who was a pug, we worked together for many years, and he now votes Dem.

[Glenda]

14. lol! What about the women?

[asdjrocky]

20. Them, I just give a dirty look.

[Ozma]

10. I talked to someone in rural Georgia today.

They are white, and CLAIM they have been Dems all their lives, over 65. They cannot support Obama because of all of his "ties" to terrorists.

I think that translates into racism, they don't dare have a Black man in charge of their nation. They are also into the pharmaceutical business, so I think they fear losing money from excess profits of the pharma guys.

[TexasObserver]

12. I temporarily fantasize about choking them, but then I say "oh, Mother!"

Add that to Pourtnoy's Complaint.

[daninthemoon]

16. lol. i don't know who my Mom voted for, but I know not to ask. Last

week I sent her that moveon.org link to the "it's your fault for not voting" email deal, and she srote back (rather snarkily I think), that she had already voted. I seriously hope she voted the right way. Her income is from a trust with stock diviedends that she receives each month. It's not alot, and I'm already worried that the market meltdown may really hit them hard. I hope she realized that Obama is her best chance at someone to fix that mess, that mccain and phil graham were in the middle of the deregulation that has put her in jeopardy. Have a bad feeling she voted the wrong way, though.

[MJkcj]

15. YES! YES I DO! I look at them and think they must be stupid or crazy or both

I am totally blown away when i meet someone who tells me they are voting for MccCain... or worse people who actually LIKE Sara Palin.... I want to shake them and say what? Are you insane???

Whats worse is if it is someone I know is intelligent. A lot of my husbands country club golf buddies are all voting mcCain and these are not dumb people. But they all think Obama is too liberal and worried about their taxes going up (they make more than $250,000) and they keep bringing up socialism and all that crap. I can not be in the room with these people because I cannot be polite.

[CatBO]

17. Yes...

McCain voters are:

- Idiots
- Racists
- Bigots
- Homophobes
- Anti-American

They're absolutely vile, hideous people and I am convinced they will all rot in Hell.

Every single Republican who voted for Bush, or who is voting for McCain, is either ignorant or evil. Regardless, they are unAmerican and I can't wait to see their party die off and every last one of them rotting in hell.

[sweetladybug]

18. If someone tells me that they are voting for McCain, I just ask them

So you make over $250,000. a year? When they say no, I ask them, what's wrong you haven't had enough yet. Is the cost of gas not high enough for you? (not $10.00 a gallon yet) Is the cost of milk not high enough for you? (not $10.00 a gallon yet) Is the cost of a loaf of bread not high enough for you? Is the cost of utilities not high enough for you? Is the cost of medicine and health not high enough for you? I just keep going on and on and on and on. Maybe they will finally get the picture or I guess I piss them off.

22. When I see the McPain yard signs, I think the people living there are advertising their ignorance.

And I'm grateful for the heads up! :P "Back away from the door!!" :rofl:

And the signs always seem to be in small clusters of 2 or 3 houses.

Now we know who's talking over the back fences and having coffee or cocktails during the week together!

But on the same token, the Obama and Democratic yard signs all seem to be in small clusters too. ;)

23. I ask them to finish signing the loan agreement and then I leave.
