Which makes me think, if you don't support Obama in some peoples eyes you're not a Democrat.

Personally, I say let them have it people. Sounds pretty familiar, kinda like the Bush meme, if you're not with us then you're against us.

Didn't we hate that? We don't lock step people, isn't that what DUers used to say? Now things are different I guess.

Which also makes me think that some Obama supporters are more willing to work with Republicans than people of their own party who don't support Obama.

1. If they don't support Obama, that's fine.
If they wish for Obama to LOSE TO McCAIN, that is NOT fine.

5. Texas Republicans Love Obama
http://republicansforobama.org/?q=node/359


E-mail to send to Texas Republicans


Attention All Texas Republicans and Independents!!

On March 4th, Texas Republicans and Independents will have an opportunity to end Hillary Clinton's (and Bill's) presidential ambitions once and for all!

Since Texas has on open primary, Republicans and Independents should sign in at their polling place and request a Democratic ballot. They should then vote for Barack Obama. Even James Carville admits that if Hillary loses Texas, "she's done!" Republicans can help make this a reality!!! Just think, no more Clintons in the White House!

Voting Democratic this one time will have NO effect on your ability to vote in the next Republican primary or obviously on your vote in November. Since John McCain has the Republican nomination locked up, voting for McCain or Huckabee at this point will have no effect on the outcome on the Republican side.

After you vote during early voting or on March 4th, you ARE NOT done! Report back to your regular polling place at 7PM on March 4th to sign the Barack Obama list for caucus delegates. In a little known Texas voting quirk, 67 delegates to the Democratic convention will be seated because of these caucuses. This is a full one-third of the total number of Texas delegates. For Hillary to lose, she has to lose the primary votes AND the caucus votes.

I urge you to vote against Hillary Clinton by voting for Barack Obama. Please forward this e-mail to all your Texas Republican and Independent friends so that we can help ensure the Clinton's defeat on March 4th!!!

14. I'm not at all surprised that was posted.
There's been disturbing "support Obama or you're not a real Democrat" sentiments around here for quite awhile. Next we'll hear we're not real patriotic Americans.

It goes along with the arrogance of some Obama supporters demanding that Hillary drop out. Not because she's slightly behind, but because it's for the "good of the party" to crown Obama right now. Before some pretty significant states have had their say.

And these are supposed to be the "uniters"? Please.
