Obama is the ONLY choice.
How can you possibly consider voting for the continuation of a dynasy, a legacy candidate who's only where she is because of her husband? And her voting record? C'mon, she's exercised poor judgement over and over again. She's no more a liberal or progressive than my cat.

John Edwards? His record is even worse. How anyone can believe he's sincers is beyond me. He's the democrats' very own Mitt Romney. It's ridiculous that anyone could support him. He's about as progressive as my dog.

Kucinich? That new age elf with his anti-choice history is nothing but a joke. Yeah, I'll grudgingly admit he has a progressive record in Congress, but face it, he's just running for his own ego. He's about as viable as my parakeet.

The real choice is clear to anyone with half a brain: Edwards and Clinton are DINOS and nothing but DINOs. Kucinich is a joke.
You're all a bunch of morans if you can't see that.



THIS IS SNARK. SATIRE. I DON'T EVEN HAVE A CAT OR PARAKEET AND MY DOG IS A BRILLIANT PROGRESSIVE.

2. Swap Obama and Edwards and you'd have a first-rate thread.
And you wouldn't need the snark label. ;)

3. Oh, not you too, Cali.
I've had it up to *here* with the "my candidate is the only choice" threads.

5. You clearly missed the big bold words that announced that my post was snark
"THIS IS SNARK. SATIRE. I DON'T EVEN HAVE A CAT OR PARAKEET AND MY DOG IS A BRILLIANT PROGRESSIVE."

9. This is flamebait. You write this bullshit, then put "just kidding" at the end.
Damn, that is low.

10. No, it's not flamebait, it's poking fun at the various and frequent
postings that seriously proclaim like crap. You may not find it funny, but it's certainly not flamebait or low. I wrote in big bold letters that it was snark. And frankly, that anyone thinks it's serious just goes to demonstrate how ridiculous these claims are. "As viable as my parakeet"? You took that seriously? Wow.

I almost feel sorry for you.

4. I was hoping this was satire
I figured you had more sense than what you wrote.

6. and it clearly is satire, thus the announcement of such
"THIS IS SNARK. SATIRE. I DON'T EVEN HAVE A CAT OR PARAKEET AND MY DOG IS A BRILLIANT PROGRESSIVE."

And this is why I'm careful to always at least scan an entire post.

11. How friggin disingenuous are you, Cali
to post your screed and then think we are all too stupid to realize your modus operandi, "just kidding". Are you that deprecating of our collective intelligence, or so smug in thinking you are superior, to believe we wopuld let you get away with what you really believe , with a "just kidding" disclaimer?

Pathetic!

12. lol
what you lack in humor you more than make up for in self-righteousness. Do you know how many serious screeds like this have been posted? Lots and lots. I don't disrespect anyone for their choice, and I'm making fun of those that do. What a touchy little soul you are.

23. Why Cali?
I don't understand your callous and cruel remarks. Are you angry? Gee, didn't you see I was *JUST KIDDING*. I mean, even my Pomeranian, and my five year old, sitting next to me, got that.

I don't understand your reaction. Do you have issues or something?

26. Once the cat is out of the bag the "fallacy of ad hominim" kicks in instinctively
We should bring in a shrink to do an analysis on Obamas core supporters here.

16. Uh, I was actually trying to compliment you
I know it's satire, and I saw the statement. I did read the entire thing. I apologize if it came across as something else. It's early yet.

14. Which part is snark?
Just wondering, since much of it seems to mirror opinions I've seen you express previously.

I enjoyed your posts when you were uncommitted. Seems to me they were more fair and honest ... less snark.

24. Hey guys, lay off Cali...at least she does not do the redundant hate this or...
hate that threads. She does display original thought unlike one person from Indiana named jones. And, gasp, there have been times when she really has something to say.

That takes us back to the redundant hate threads.

Cali, have to give you credit for at least stirring the pot once in a while. Every board needs someone who goes around kicking desks and waking people up.

;^)

20. That doesnt look like satire, it looks like you're taking a typical DU dig at Dems you're against
and then calling it satire.

I always thought satire inlcluded poking fun at your own side, but maybe I'm wrong.

21. Is this supposed to make us laugh?
Some of us are trying to take this primary process seriously.

It matters who will be inaugurated on January 20th, 2009.

Right now I am mostly leaning in favor of Barack Obama.

But tearing down the other candidates won't help Barack.

And it sure won't help the Democratic cause.

22. Emotional appeals...
When will Obamas supporters start to defend him on policy, instead of endless attacks on others?

Ever?

28. On Edwards, at least his message (though delivered poorly) is what I agree with initially.
But yes, his record would leave him wide open to being trashed in the General.

That said, its really insulting to say your candidate is the ONLY choice.
