Isn't it discouraging that there are more negative posts on DU about Obama than McCain?

[book_worm]

Just sayin.

[azmouse]

1. Yes. It is.

[Erin Elizabeth]

2. It wasn't like that just a week ago.

What the heck is going on?

I have my theory, but I'm not wanting to attract a swarm of.....people.

[DJ13]

9. I have my theory, but I'm not wanting to attract a swarm of.....people.

C*****n?

[Erin Elizabeth]

19. ROFL.

[ellacott]

3. It IS pretty sad and discouraging

[27inCali]

34. hopefully VP announcement will end it

until then............uuuhhhggg!!!!!!!!

[Spazito]

4. Last gasp from some, imo n/t

[hisownpetard]

5. YES.

[Max_powers94]

6. Ok ...McCain is an asshole...................Ahh I feel better

[Erin Elizabeth]

20. He's a HUGE GAPING asshole.

He's like the black hole of all assholes. His assholery can be seen from space.

Aaah.

[NatBurner]

23. basically. with Lieberman's head stuck up in it

[Erin Elizabeth]

25. And room for many more heads, too.

Ug. I just grossed myself out.

[NatBurner]

26. lol there's a whole ecosystem in there

chock full of snakes, worms and weasels-

and a few well-paid lobbyists too!

[SuperTrouper]

7. I think that it shows our fear that we may lose a sure-win

by following previously failed scripts.

[Cha]

15. I think it shows ya'll are

spineless. Get out and hit the fucking streets if you're so worried ..do something positive instead of sowing negative seeds. :scared: :scared: :scared:

[Growler]

30. It's the "Politics of Failure"...

Dems are addicted to it, I don't know why.... :(

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

8. You should distinguish Obama's campaign effort and McCain's character

McCain is a sack of shit whose campaign has been rather effective since the Rove acolytes took over.


Obama is a fine man running a flawed campaign.

[FrenchieCat]

10. It's Psyche ops, so there is a specific purpose for it.......

[judy]

11. No, it is not discouraging at all...

It is our job, as the Democratic base to discuss Obama's ideas and statements, and say how we feel about them.
Since it never occurred to me to ever vote for McCain, I don't care what he, McCain does.
I just wish Obama would listen to us more :)

He cannot, like Kerry before him, let the right wing define him! All he needs to do really, is stand up for the US Constitution. No true conservative could ever criticize that...

Edited for pronoun clarification

[blondeatlast]

12. Ah, but it makes for some very amusing "lock" messages; including those from the Admins...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x6675716

Ouch. :rofl:

[peace13]

13. if you really want to scare yourself ask how many here are volunteering for Obama.

I fear that we are not what we pretend to be. I posted this on Monday and *amn near scared myself. I did have a few kind souls check in.

[judy]

14. I donate to Obama

Yet, I think it is OK to criticize him amongst fellow Democrats, Underground or otherwise.

[peace13]

22. Criticize ..well OK.

I think in order to do that one should also be working in the trenches. There is so much to do and everyone is needed. Donating is great but we will all have to take to the streets eventually. Peace, Kim

[judy]

31. Take to the streets and do what?

Defend a point of view I don't agree with? One that does not reverse the damage of BushCo? One that supports offshore drilling as a solution? One that pursues the asinine idea of a "global war on terror"?
Nah...

I donate because I don't want McCain to be elected. But going into the streets for Obama, he would have to be much more directed and precise than he is right now. I did contact his office after the Philadelphia speech, but have since withdrawn as he has become more and more of a regular politician.

I'll be happy to take to the streets once he is President and try to keep him honest if I can, though...:)

[peace13]

36. With this kind of support don't expect him to be the next president!

Enjoy your four more years of ....

[judy]

39. I am afraid you are correct...

:(

[DailyGrind51]

16. We want to goad him into taking the gloves off!

[EFerrari]

17. Maybe but it's also true that people get more upset with "family"

sometimes than with outsiders. Or, they get upset in a different way. Just hammering away at upset people isn't always the solution.

[Egnever]

18. I dont think there are actually

Just more op's but I think its pretty clear whats causing that. Lets just say it isnt the majority of posters starting them.

[tokenlib]

21. We all for the most part agree in our distain for McCain and Bush.....

So if this is a discussion board--we have to discuss our differences on something--

33. Yep, it sure is...

this will FAIL just like all their other pathetic attempts, poor souls, they just don't get it. I am readying a sufficient supply of paper bags for when they really start hyperventilating.

[flamingdem]

35. People have lost their marbles, Obama is a top notch candidate, join him and be on the winning side

por favor people..

[book_worm]

37. kick with some good news.

[JackORoses]

38. it's not discouraging because it is a facade

this too shall pass
