2. I don't complain about threads criticizing my candidate
I complain about lies posted about my candidate. If that's whining to you, fine.

22. Oh, I like the condescension best!
I love being called an idiot! I swoon when someone bashes me for stating an opinion... and when I am wrong, I just can't tell you how much I appreciate being called other names that might indicate my prehensile tail is showing!

Do I really need the :sarcasm:? Probably...

23. You know what's my favorite? When I, an Obama supporter, defend Hillary from a stupid attack...
only to get attacked by Obama supporters! Classic!

29. Been there!
I'm still undecided between Edwards and Obama... I catch hell from everyone:) I will always defend someone who is being picked on without cause. There are so many big issues to worry about, I hate seeing time wasted on stupid issues that really mean nothing. You just can't have an opinion around here anymore!

10. You got that right. And the names they call us because we support
her. They are the ones that made me switch from Edwards to Hillary. To me both were almost the same. But since the lied, and cried about Hillary so damn much I switched....and the doodle boppers just keep on posting.

11. I've seen Hillary supporters whine when people are critical of her
The anti-Obama posts have been popping up now that Senator Clinton is losing.

There are a few anti-Obama post (this wouldn't be one) that make good points, but most are just spam, imo.

Lots of new people to stick on my ignore list!

14. I find all these threads pissing me off
So you've picked a candidate. Aren't you special. Tell me what's so wonderful about your candidate and shut the fuck up about the others. And no I'm not an Obama person. I haven't picked yet.

20. i don't think the critisms of obama have been anywhere near what they have been...
for Hillary. Hers have been often personal, and overly critical. Obama's are just mild scrutiny. We're STILL asking what is the HOPE. lol.

32. I agree completely
And don't forget, HOPE is not like FAITH... because if you are a Christian and have FAITH, you are a creationist knuckle-dragger! HOPE is NOT FAITH!!! Rinse, REPEAT!

26. I have always treated Hillary fairly, to the point where I was accused
Edited on Tue Jan-08-08 05:55 PM by Occam Bandage
of being a Hillary supporter in a Biden outfit. She's a fine Senator, a good Democrat, and I would be honored to be able to call her President.

I do not like Edwards much at all, on the other hand.
