When I try to engage Hillary, Edwards, and Obama supporters.
I get roughly the same Attitude. This is most peculiar, as somehow because I support Biden, I become different villains to different people. Hillary=I become a woman hater, Obama=I become a racist. Edwards=I am just stupid. I am none of these. I flat out get Dismissed out of hand. I just don't get it, Aren't we all Democrats? Are we not to discuss and debate our favorites? Who knows you might get me to change my favorite. or maybe I change yours? Is that what you are scared of?

1. Wow, you must hang with some pretty closed-minded people.

2. I'm terrified you might change my mind
You are so perceptive. I lay under my covers at night saying "but what if someone convinces me not to vote for Edwards? What would I do with myself?"

Could you please link me to a post in which a DUer accused of being a racist simply for supporting Biden? I'd like to see that.

Oh and for the record, Biden isn't my candidate, but I think he's a good man who has a lot going for him. I can see why other people would support him.

3. Boo!
Seriously, who's afraid of a Biden fan? I think he's a great sober voice.

4. I Volunteer at a Democratic office
I see (and help) every one who comes in. Funny thing is Obama had an office open down the block and no one notified us! Yet a stream of people kept asking where it was. I felt stupid as they never told us. same with the Hillary office??? Colorado.

5. I'm not a Biden supporter but I certainly understand those who are. He's a tough talking ,gutsy,
straight shooter (although sometimes I find his talk sorta silly and bombastic) and I really like the guy. I could see him at State as long as he learns to STFU and think before he speaks. He's done a pretty good job of that in the primaries. My problem with him is I don't think he can win.

If he gets the nomination, I will be very proud to vote for him. In fact, there's not a single one of the Dem candidates I wouldn't be proud to vote for. Ignore the nay sayers. Just support your guy.

6. Any who think of you in that way have problems.
To them, it's like pulling for a sports team. They feel obligated to insult if they are top tier currently.
