Reply #15: When did it start?

As an Edwards supporter, I pretty much stayed out of the fray until Edwards' supporters started getting attacked by, guess who.........Obama supporters. So, I would have to say that for the most part it has been Obama supporters, and a much bigger percentage of them. Even when there was all the candidates in Iowa, Obama supporters were attacking. At that time I remember that Clinton was being called just about everything in the book and so were her supporters. Obama supporters were still Obama supporters until after Iowa, then they too got nicknames. They became very obnoxious to Edwards supporters, while Clinton supporters were civil to us. There is a reason Obama supporters are being called cult members, it's because they act like it. When asked what he stood for, we were given a link to his website, no one could give an elevator speech about him. No one could condense what he was going to do except bring hope and change. If that isn't cultish, I don't know what is.

Neither of these candidates are to my liking. Neither will do anything for the majority of Americans. Both think they are owed this job, he because of his race and her because of her marriage. Neither are doing this because they think they can do the best job of running this country. If this primary had been run on the issues, which left the arena when Edwards did, this would be a different primary season. This is an ego campaign, and THAT'S why there is so much hate.
