"I'm hoping that Nader enters the race".

[last1standing]

"At least McCain is real".

"Obama people are not Democrats".

Yep, those are just three quickly grabbed quotes from so-called loyal Democrats at DU tonight who can't stand the fact that their candidate didn't win in Wisconsin. Well I have news for everyone who needs to spread hatred and anger here tonight. Anyone who chooses to vote for Nader or McCain over Obama or Clinton is no Democrat, and anyone here who sits out the election because they think that only their candidate can save this country is no Democrat. Hell, I've been siding with losing Democratic candidates for the last twenty years but I've still always managed to get my pouting ass off the couch and get to the polls to vote for a Democrat come November. Try campaigning for Simon, Tsongas, Bradley, Dean and Edwards before you consider throwing a tantrum all over the internet in an attempt to spread your frustration and anger. I figure if I'd actively campaigned for Bill he would have lost to Dole in '96.

If anyone does, I understand the pain of watching "the best" candidate lose. Even so, there will be a Democrat on the ballot in November and I hope that the majority here can figure out how important it is to get off the couch and vote for them.

1. That is disgusting, they are not real democrats, I have always said I would vote

for Hillary

[last1standing]

3. It's also disgusting that a thread bashing a Democrat makes it to the front page.

While this one drops like a rock. What does that tell you about the "Democrats" here?

[Skittles]

2. !!!!!!!!!

I have a hard time believing real Democrats would say such things - but when I see the slime DUers have tossed at each other lately :o

[NastyRiffraff]

4. I'll vote for the Dem candidate

However, although I'm not excusing those who praise McCain or say that Obama supporters aren't Democrats, possibly it's a reaction to the vitrol of some of the sore winners on these boards tonight. On top of a tough loss, some of those nastily gloating posts were the last straw, even for people who usually avoid the slime that's slung around here.

I'll vote for Obama if he wins the nomination, which it looks like he will do. I don't particularly like him; I don't like his style; I don't trust him; and believe me, if he gets to the White House I'm going to hold his feet to the fire. But yes, I'll vote for the Democratic nominee.

[last1standing]

7. I know what it's like to listen to the winning cadidate's supporters gloat.

However, assuming we're all adults here, we're old enough to understand that just because a supporter is an asshole it doesn't make the candidate one as well. I don't really like either of the candidates left standing but, like my name states, the last one standing is the one I'll be voting for. :)

[meow mix]

5. "Obama people"

:patriot:

[jgraz]

6. This is exactly what the Hillary supporters were predicting

Except they were predicting this behavior from the Hillary detractors. I remember quite a few posts slavering at the thought of Skinner handing out Tombstones to anyone who dared criticize Her Inevitableness.

Time to suck it up, Hillaroids! Your candidate lost, now get behind our nominee like you told all of us to do!

[last1standing]

8. Dude! See posts #4 and #7.

[MadMaddie]

9. If they are voting for McCain or Nader they shouldn't be here.

If they are not going to support the Democratic candidate Obama or Hillary why are they here?

Go to the Free-Republic site have fun.

[last1standing]

10. I think taking a trip to freeperville would be the very best thing these people could do.

It just might clue them into who the real enemy is. I might not like our candidates now, but I hate the thought of another repub continuing bush's* rape of the people in this country and the world. I know where I'll be in November and who I'll vote for - and it won't be third party or repub.

[MadMaddie]

31. Amen.

[GarbagemanLB]

11. While I disagree with Hillary supporters, I've never considered them anything other than Democrats.

[proud2BlibKansan]

12. Dude, there is an alert button you know

No need to waste one of your 3 threads on this.

[last1standing]

14. I think it was worth it to get the point across.

Besides, I rarely use one post so I'm hardly in danger of needing more than three. :)

[proud2BlibKansan]

15. Yeah we need to get a free one if it's a PSA

:)

[last1standing]

17. I'd hate to see the loopholes that created.

I'm good with my one O/P tonight. :)

[Eurobabe]

13. The person who said "at least McCain is real" is a fucking troll

I can't wait until their pizza is delivered.

[last1standing]

16. I really wish DU rules didn't prohibit calling out other posters for this kind of thing.

But I promise every quote listed above is real and that there are many more out there. :(

[Cha]

20. Yeah, cause mccain is about as "real" as

any bushass kisser.

[casus belli]

23. He's real alright. Real creepy. n/t

[LoZoccolo]

18. Actually, people generally don't follow through on Nader threats.

[mikekohr]

19. That Worked Well Last Tiime

But Nader is getting old. Let's save him the trouble and just vote for McCain.

[insanity]

21. I'm a loyalist

I work the ideals in the primary and the party in the general. This time they go together, which is a great moment for me.

[Johnny__Motown]

22. So, Nader is a real democrat?

[casus belli]

24. Also...that Nader comment is silly...

Given McCain has basically sailed into the nomination with a dependency on independent support, and the fact that Nader does well among Independents, it would probably actually end up helping our candidate if he ran.

[Cheeseburger Walrus]

25. You can't take these...

...things so seriously. Just be glad that there is even powerful interest in politics in these apathetic times.

[McCamy Taylor]

26. Everyone says this during the primaries, it doesnt mean anything.

I no longer support a candidate during the primaries. I just watch and wait and support the nominee. They are all the same anyway. Or I might give vocal support and some money to the candidate with the best ideas like Edwards (even though he will not win) on principle.

[Blue-Jay]

27. If I had a nickel for every stupid comment made by a DUer...

I'd have, like, a bunch of nickels or something.

Making a big stink about stupid shit said by this supporter or that supporter doesn't really add anything of value to the discussion, however.

[McCamy Taylor]

28. Esp since we could be saying some clever shit about McCain instead.

Like I'm sure he could live with 100 years of war, but I'll live with a 100 years of peace.

[New Dawn]

29. Clintonites would not vote for Nader

He is too left-wing for them.

[RiverStone]

30. I will support the Democratic Nominee!

Anything less is supporting the war mongering puke bastards.

No excuse for that other than sheer stupidity!

[Laelth]

32. Hear, hear.

Kick. Too late to recommend.

:dem:

-Laelth

[last1standing]

36. Thanks Laelth.

I'm getting more and more disgusted with the tone this forum has taken in the last few months. Now, there are some people calling anyone who doesn't support Obama a racist. It's downright scary here.

[LittleClarkie]

33. Other favorites

calling Kerry "Lurch"

bringing up Chappaquiddick on Kennedy

and to be fair...

Bringing up Monica on Bill.


Amazing how Dems sound just like freepers when criticizing the not so loyal opposition.

[last1standing]

35. Or even implying that other posters are racist without proof, huh?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x4692724#4692798

I'd say something about the pot calling someone something, but it's getting dangerous to let your guard down around here. :mad:

[LittleClarkie]

37. Eh, I was just continuing the riff of the poster above me there.

I like that guy. Edwards supporters are tops.

Meanwhile, proof? Who needs proof? This is primary season, baby. We don't need no stinkin' proof.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=4691702&mesg_id=4692290

[last1standing]

39. I'm an Edwards supporter but I don't need to call other candidates' supporters racist.

And you might not need proof for a lot of things, but racism is serious stuff. To accuse someone of that is too serious to make jokes about. Doing so lessens the severity of the situation when someone really is racist.

[LittleClarkie]

40. You're right, of course. Sorry.

I need to take a break from this place. I've been away for about a week, and I should have made it longer. I'm tired, I'm stressed, I'm pissy, I'm sick of the incivility, and but there I went and added to it.

Here's to hoping this place improves again after primary season.

Again, sorry.

[last1standing]

42. This place is getting to all of us.

There's so much anger and hatred lately it's becoming unbearable. I've gotten attacked for just posting this thread about voting for the eventual nominee which is what I thought this place was all about.

I can't wait till this is all over. I really can't. :hug:

[readmoreoften]

34. I think the Obama thing comes from Obama's comment about his supporters

not being Democrats or Republicans but "Obamacans". Also, it comes from some people being assholes.

[rodeodance]

38. another lecture!!

[last1standing]

41. Another brilliant response!!

[rodeodance]

43. only for you sweetie

[last1standing]

44. Then I'll look at this as our own special moment.

:D
