I'm not going to let them.
I'm not going to let a couple of dozen disruptive Hillary supporters poison my determination to vote for her if she's the nominee. And if you support Hillary, you shouldn't let those on the Obama side writing bullshit, poison your determination to vote for him if he's the nominee.

No, I don't like being compared to a member of Jim Jones temple who died painfully under a hot sun after drinking poisoned koolaid. But I recognize that ugly shit for what it is. And I KNOW it has nothing to do with who Hillary Clinton is. It's literally insane to make that comparison. But a lot of the stuff being said here is insane. If you're an Obama supporter you'll see more of the shit being done by Hillary supporters. If you're a Hillary supporter you'll see more of the hateful stuff being done by Obama supporters.

The truth is that the hateful shit has little or nothing to do with reality. It's simply used to poison everything.

Don't fall for it. It's not Obama's fault if some idiot poster here call Hillary "Hitlery" and it's not Hillary's fault that assholes are running around comparing Obama to Jim Jones and Obama's supporter to Jones' followers.

3. Yes, but will you vote for Obama if he's the nominee?
Or will you let yourself be sucked into the hate thing, and decide NOT to vote for him?

12. We all have to agree to vote for the nominee.
We can't stay home or skip the top portion of the ballot when we get into the voting booth.

The truth is, their voting records are very similar.

I may not like what I see Obama supporters doing here today. I have alerted on some Clinton supporters, too.

If Obama is the nominee, we will all be defending him when the press turns on him. You know they will.

I am supporting Clinton now. I will vote for Obama if he is the nominee.

2. *applause*
:applause:

I'm glad others caught the "Hitlery" post before it was changed. And I was just reading a thread by the same poster where she complained about the hatred.

5. Me?..I will vote Blue no matter what...I see the Pubs as a group of Selfish Bone Headed Peeps
They give Conservatives a Really Bad Name.....

By avoiding Reality...they embrace Fantasy....Then, they actually believe their own shit....

Nevertheless...the Pubs will mold McLame into an embraceable cuddly ole man and vote for him as the only guy in town...

Unless there is a mechanism for us Dems to Join Forces to beat the Unified Pubs...we risk lower odds. Reason and Common Sense should Prevail......Obama/Hillary should take steps to find a way to work as a Team...a Unified way of Leading this Nation...

What better way to express "Change?" Think about it....

6. I am simply an emotional woman.
I care deeply about this country, and I believe that Obama is the one that can win and get us out of the rut that we are in.

11. You almost had a reasoned post.
Care to figure out why it's not?

15. I know your not.
You know why it's not reasoned you just won't admit it. Typical.

13. Good post.
We're Democrats. We vote for the Democratic nominee. Bad behavior on the part of a few other Democrats doesn't change that.

I'm a Gravel/Kucinich/Edwards guy, so neither Hillary or Obama thrill me. But I'm a Democrat. I'll vote for the Democratic nominee.
