I'm an Obama supporter, but I am upset about his divisive tactics

[insanity]

How dare he not offer Hillary Clinton the chance to be a heart beat away from the Presidency because her and her supporters want it and that matters much more than picking a running mate who he feels comfortable with.

I'm also disgusted with his daft tactic of trying to begin a campaign against McCain because Senator Clinton could still win this if you use whatever meter she wants to use today besides, of course, the currently accepted standard of delegates.

1. Dear Obama supporter....get lost..from one who is really an

Obama supporter....Or did you forget the sarcastic thing?

[LSparkle]

3. I second that ...

Just putting "as an Obama supporter" at the beginning of your post
doesn't necessarily make it so. Some of us are smart enough to
see through it.

[insanity]

16. I hate to be a dick

but if you were smart enough to see through it, maybe you could have seen how far my tongue was in my cheek?

Anyways, I've become quite the fan of prefacing every message with, "I support so and so, but this is a really bad thing they are doing." It makes for a great post every time

20. Unfortunately, these days it's getting impossible to discern sarcasm.

So many posts here look like they should be sarcasm, but are in fact serious.

[LSparkle]

28. Agreed -- that's why they have that *sarcasm* thingy, for us dense folks

who can't tell anymore ...

[insanity]

5. Dear Obama supporter

Sarcasm much?

2. lol

9. (joins in the laughter)

[Rosa Luxemburg]

19. Lol

[DAGDA56]

4. Agreed....he's acting like defeating her is somehow less important than defeating

McCain. Nobody likes to be ignored, you know!

[Debi]

6. How dare he make his own decisions about his campaign rather than let HRC and Terry Mc

and Lanny Davis and Bill Clinton tell him how to do it. He acts like he's WINNING or something x(

[Buzz Clik]

7. I'm a Hillary supporter, and I'm annoyed by her constant harping about sexism.

[Cha]

8. Don't need no sarcasm

tag for that, insanity! :toast:

[papau]

10. kick the Hillary supporters to the curb - they'll crawl back - they've no where to go

[John Q. Citizen]

17. You could kick yourself to the curb and try to blame it on Obama. Might work...

[PVnRT]

32. The same thing Hillary would be doing to Obama supporters

After all, us white-guilt liberals and blacks will do what we're told.

[crankychatter]

11. it's the Iowa ground water, relax.... they can't give directions either - nt

12. Conceding to a divisive force

is hardly required before that divisive force has even conceded he HAS that choice. It is hardly a shrewd tactic to not go in a direction already denied you by a rival.

Nothing is more important than picking a true partner as a running mate who can continue and support his policies in a specific time when every division is played against the American people and every threat against Obama, including threats by destructive fans of a defeated rival. Under some twisted logic he might as well shrewdly choose McCain as his running partner.

[insanity]

13. Now that is a Unity Ticket

[DogPoundPup]

14. Just suppose I took your idiotic blather seriously....

Hillbill will be #2? To follow President Obama around to his rear and bow down to his orders? (Cheney is the exception as VP's go) That is not why HillBill is running for President. That is just exactly what it is today for the most part. Women as #2. I want a man as VicePres. to President Obama.

[Dr Fate]

15. Are you really upset, or merely "concerned?"

;)

[rucky]

18. So he should offer her VP, and attack her more.

good plan.

[insanity]

22. No

He should concede the nod to her because she was entitled to it. He should also apologize for being better at running a campaign and actually knowing how to win within the rules of the game. Then he should slip into obscurity.

That is the only way to unify our party.

[rucky]

25. She tells her supporters she's "in it to win it"

so they'll just see that as condensending.

I think they should both campagin against McCain and ignore each other until convention.

[maddiejoan]

21. I see it'll take a Hillary supporter to explain this.

Insanity is making a joke.

I'll even allow it's a funny joke.

It's a joke at Hillary's expense.

Obama supporters who don't get the joke --should go back for remedial education.


sheeeesh.


BTW --Insanity -- good one :toast:

[insanity]

24. Cheers!

+1 for education

Regardless of our differing choice of candidates, I'm glad some of us still know that it is important to laugh from time to time.

[maddiejoan]

26. You have the distinct honor

of being one a very few Obama supporters capable of a wicked snark.

Hats off to you from a fellow snarkster.

[Tatiana]

23. I know right... RISE Hillary RISE!!!111

:rofl:

[RiverStone]

27. You probably need to use that "sarcasm" thingie

Some folks are too tired or pissed to see the snark meter.

[cbayer]

29. I LOVE the always predictable DU knee jerk reaction to headlines!

[insanity]

31. I honestly think people will refuse to read past them sometimes

I swear we all learned about judging books from their covers once or twice in our lives

[cbayer]

34. I know. It happens all the time.

You didn't need a sarcasm thingy because your sarcasm was crystal clear (if you read past the headline).

Well done.

[DemGa]

30. Oh I get it - sarcasm!... Ha ha, I love sarcasm!

[madwivoter]

33. You just about had me...

Sometimes it's really hard to tell..

:crazy:
