Face it, the guy has an amazingly loyal following.

It is sad, though.

2. Or he could say he loves it and the other half would still not support him.
Or something like that.

6. I'd probably be a little wary after a comment like that.
But what's your point? Are you trying to imply that he feels that way?

25. No, but I am saying that....
his core supporters are the most loyal supporters anywhere and will vote for him no matter what. Period.

I have a Hillary sticker on my truck and I get "attacked" about 3 times a week by Obama supporters because of it.

It is stunning.

If engaging in "theft of valor" while our troops are under fire doesn't do it, you really have to ask them: what would?

18. Actually that is the problem with BOTH groups of followers
and it is time you also face that

By the way I will vote for whoever comes out as the nominee, but NEITHER is my preferred candidate

I mean I even had a loyalist tell me my Poli Sci instructor got his talking points, in 1984 no less, from one of the two campaigns

21. What is sad is your post.
Edited on Thu Mar-27-08 03:43 PM by book_worm
I'm tired of having stupid supporters of another candidate try to say I belong to some kind of cult. First of all, Obama is not responsible for his pastors words. He has addressed it anyhow because the media forced him to. However, Hillary is responsible for her words and she lied on four ocassions about her trip to Bosnia and explained it away as misspeaking. I don't see your side repudiating her. Obama hasn't given me any reason to repudiate his support. Hillary however has given me reason to question my formerly high opinion of her thru her kitchen sink strategy and defacto endorsement of McCain when she said he was ready to be president and she is ready but Obama isn't.

support them. Sad though.

And Clintons spent the 90s deep-sixing all the serious matters of GHWBush's illegal operations that were still being investigated and needed cooperation of an open government president, and still some Dems will support them anyway.

REALLY sad though - that protection resulted in Bush2, 9-11, this Iraq war and future war with Iran. Those matters should have resulted in BushInc being fully exposed and jailed.

33. before you all begin insulting Obama supporters as cultists I'd like to see some of you
take Hillary to task for lying four times about her trip to Bosnia. I'd also like to see some of you take her task about her endorsement of McCain as commander in chief while saying Obama isn't ready. It seems to me her supporters overlook these things so I'm beginning to wonder if they are the wild-eyed, hands raised to the heavens type. BTW, didn't Carville, a prominent Clinton supporter call Richardson a "judus" implying, I would guess, that he thinks that Hillary is Jesus-like.

43. REALITY: Obama could say he hates to see what has happened
to the USA on nat. TV and his detractors would spin that to say "Obama hates the USA".

Which is, in truth, what Pastor Wright was saying when he said 'god damn America' - condemning it for not living up to its promises. Which is, in truth, what Michelle was saying when she said 'for the first time in my adult life, I'm proud to be an American' - acknowledging that we have had little to be proud of after 30 years of creeping fascism.

But don't let reality intrude on your REALITY.

59. "i hate the usa for the way it treated blacks, native americans, japanese-americans during ww2..."
"...but i love this country for all the good, the people, the opportunity...blah blah blah"

it all has to be taken in context. usually if a public figure says "i hate the usa", there's generally some context as to the reason(s).
