Fuck 'em. I don't care about winning them over. They're too numerically insignificant to worry about. I prefer to heap scorn and disgrace upon their menopausal heads.
We already tried winning the PUMAettes over with "rational arguments". It turns out that these don't work on irrational people. So fuck them. If they want to be a bunch of whining, irrational nutcases, that's they're problem. We'll win without them anyway.
So basically you're just an angry, deranged kamakazie hell-bent on torpedoing Obama's election chances out of spite?
Tell me again how it won't be your fault if Obama loses?
You can't have it both ways, lady.
5 billion? I doubt it. Come November, you menopausal PUMAettes will be lucky to muster 500 actual Democrats. Everyone knows that PUMA is a Republican front organization, anyway. Most of PUMA's operating budget comes directly from the RNC. How does it feel to be a Republican pawn, nanance? Don't worry, we real Democrats won't forget your treachery.
Oh please - you act as if machine politics don't have a long and distinguished history in the Democratic party. In case you missed it, it was the same Chicago Democratic machine that's now behind Obama that got Kennedy elected in 1960. Sorry, but wanting to see the country go down the tubes on a Repubican's watch just because you didn't get your way in the primaries is the HEIGHT of irresponsibility.
They're just deluded dupes for John McCain. Hey, if you get your way and Obama loses and McCain stacks the Supreme Court with more Conservatives, don't come whining to us when you get blamed for women losing the right to choose.
One more thing - you do realize that mischaracterizing Rev. Wright's jeremiads as "hate speech" is construed by many African-Americans as racist, right? At best it's a cultural cluelessness that doesn't understand the "prophetic" mode of black preaching. But go ahead and whine about how Clinton, etcs words were taken "out of context" you big hypocrite. LOL
on numerous occasions I have tried to ask serious questions regarding some of Obama's policies and statements that troubled me and can only recall one instance in which I received a serious reply.
Um, no you haven't. Mostly you've just spouted off deranged nonsense like a spoiled child.
It's only August and if you're already so tired of trying to reason with people, how are you ever going to make it until November?
I never said I was tired of trying to reason with people - I said there was no point in trying to reason with the unreasonable.
I am not now nor have I ever been a Republican and cannot see any circumstances under which I would vote for John McCain.,
But you don't mind being an unpaid dupe for his campaign, right?
But being insulted and threatened constantly does not make me think "Of course, I should vote for Obama because I don't want people to think I'm racist or postmenopausal and I don't want to be on the 'enemies' list." Did you people take lessons at the Nixon School of Politics?
Never mind your own insults and threats towards Obama supporters, right? It's all about YOUR ego, no? LOL
And I'm not sure why "postmenopausal" is the most frequent insult hurled at Clinton supporters, nor do the many men I know who are lifelong Democrats but have not yet decided to support Obama.
Actually, I didn't say "postmenopausal" I said straight up "menopausal" - and the reason I said it is that your irrational, illogical, angry, rash, self-defeating behavior is entirely consistent with menopausal behavior. Also, it's not my fault if many of the men you know have vaginas.
Is this how all the great optimistic new voters I keep hearing about plan to act if their candidate wins the White House, punishing anyone who thought differently about who was best qualified to be president? Is this the hope and change you're going to bring to the country?
Vae Victus, bitch. Give us one reason we should reward those who stood against us and tried to tear us down? You PUMAettes can get in line behind the Klan when it comes to favors. LOL
When joining the Democratic party, there is no loyalty oath, although perhaps you plan to institute one.
Why would a Republican stooge like you care about the Democratic party?
Teddy Kennedy refused to accept that Jimmy Carter was better qualified to be president than he was, and in my opinion Kennedy was right. But those of us who supported Kennedy were not told by the Carter people to get onboard or get out, if we had been, there might not much of a Democratic party today.
Meanwhile, Carter was President and Ted Kennedy wasn't right?
Vae Victus.
Well they sure won't get any of what they want if they keep supporting McSame instead of the Democratic nominee.
So there's that, too, whitecat.
It's amazing the sense of arrogant entitlement these white boomer women feel. As if it were all about THEM and not about what's best for the country.
It's a matter of priorities. A lot of women think that what's best for the country is that all "minority" groups are treated equally, even the "minority" that is actually half of the population, and that it's important for the Democratic Party to get off their asses and seriously work toward making it so.
Simply put, they're wrong. There are much bigger issues that we have to deal with. Sorry, but that's the way it is. Identity politics need to take a back seat to fixing the country that Bush broke.
Ghandi left that part out, sweetie. LOL
All anyone is asking for is your vote... and thanks for that... the invective was directed at the irrational Republican stooges who would cut off their noses to spite their faces...
