Don't come crying to Obama supporters when our military death toll passes 10,000 in the year 2012.

After McInsane bomb, bomb, bombs Iran ,the death toll will climb very quickly. Perhaps as much here as there. I say by 2012 with the new Bushco representative in office I say 250,000 dead; here, in the U.S.

Obama supporters have gone out of their way to humiliate Clinton supporters and push them away. If they think they can win a Presidential election with out us.......maybe we should just let them go without our support. Is there any real reason to throw our support behind a candidate that doesn't speak to us.......or more importantly.....why should we now just forgive and forget and fall in line. If we don't like Obama why should we vote for him in the general election? I have toyed with the idea of voting for McCain....it disgust me too much right now to do it, but what makes people think that Obama can win with just his own supporters. He needs the support of a majority of America to win the general election and I have no reason at this point to do so.

Is there a compelling argument to make all of us back someone just because they are a Democrat when deep in our souls we believe he does not stand for what we believe in and distrust him so much.

Dr. Z, I found your post very enlightening. It seems that we are at an impasse. How will Hillary do it without us. What is striking is that you are opposed to Obama because of his supporters, and those who oppose Hillary do so because they are opposed to her. I find this very interesting. There is more passion on our side because we reject the candidate which makes it more angry. Opposing his ardent supporters does not in any way discount Obama. What has he done in his campaign that has so offended you? I can name many things Hillary herself or Bill have done to offend me.

Maybe you should think about that for a minute or any other person supporting Hillary refusing to vote for Obama.

Nice post ! I dislike the B.O. supporters just as much as B.O. himself, and I refuse to give them a bone. However, I also have been having second thoughts in general about being a registered democrat, not only because of Obama and his minions, but because of other things that have happened at my local level with my city council (that's a story in itself!). Also, the election of the dems in 2006. But overall, its Clinton first for me, then McCain. I always liked McCain anyway.

But don't worry - MARK MY WORDS. I'VE SAID THIS BEFORE. Clinton will win the nomination.

This is refreshing. You don't often see a woman that is this...>cough<...'enlightened'.

Just curious, what exactly do you find so dislikable about B.O.

(I don't count Ann Coulter as an actual woman.)

Just so I'm not misunderstood, by the ">cough<...'enlightened'" was in no way referring to your preference of Clinton. I think it's fine that you support Clinton, especially over McBush. The comment was in reference to your statement that you not only hate the most charismatic politician to come along in decades, but also hate the tens of millions of Americans that support him.

That's the kind of stuff I usually only hear from guys.

She fears the black man. Probably a white middle class, middle aged woman who won't board a city bus cause the driver is black.
