Christopher

I am not a concern troll. I am a Democrat. I would LOVE to talk about McCain and his despicable treatment of his wife. I think we should stop bitching at one another and start trashing McCain. Right now, my feelings about Sen. Obama are inconsequential. I may not like Obama, but I do not want to live through World War III.

I hate when I hear people fawning over how McCain is such and honorable man. An honorable man leaves the mother of his children. He discarded this woman when she needed him and he threw her away like garbage. If he is a fine human being, then humanity has really fallen low. I would say he has a lot of balls to tell me that I should not be able to marry my partner, but walking out on his disabled wife was a bitch move worthy of biggest coward. How dare he tell me that my partner and I are not worthy of the covenant of marriage but he can go marry a pill popping air head heiress. The only thing worse than that is Newt Gingrich serving his cancer stricken wife with divorce papers when she was on her death bed. I would never do this to my partner, but those two can get married and ignore the "in sickness and in health" vow for the next broad. And, the woman who marries these men are equally as bad. I hope these worthless broads are victims of the old adage that "the position of other woman is one that is always waiting to be filled."

I was pissed about the Obama thing before, but I know that a McCain presidency would result in a catastrophe here and abroad. And, I do not care if someone calls be an ageist, I am concerned about his mental acuity and how it will continue to disintegrate as he gets older. He has already started exhibiting behavior of someone who is in the early stages of Alzheimer's. I may need to have MY head examined for even think of supporting McCain because I was angry over the insults the Obama supporters hurled. As much as I feel for the individuals who are devastated by Alzheimer's, I do not think we should be giving them access to nuclear weapons.

Eric

You are a prick. I came back home to work on Sen. Clinton's first campaign. She did the right thing there by not taking her win as a certainty like she did this time. Yes, I did leave my study abroad program for a few weeks (French schools are not as obsessive as US schools, I have found out).

I get your message, though, Eric. You do not want me or people like me who are willing to move on from a lost primary and work against McCain even if we do not like Obama. I will not praise Obama, but I would certainly help with opposition research.

You are enjoying trashing me far too much. At the end of the day, I still do more to help people than you do by lobbing personal attacks at people on a website. It is a little sad. I am going to go relax at my brownstone, with my beautiful wife (fuck calling her my partner), eat dinner, kick off my Gucci shoes, and relax until I have to go to work at my boutique firm (which my JD from Yale got me). I have dealt with people like you all my who think that I could never have anything because I am black, I am a woman, I am gay, I'm in an interracial relationship, that anything I have achieved is a product of affirmative action. I have tried to contribute to the conversation, but you want to get into a fight. At the end of the day, I do not care if you or anyone else likes me. My parents won't speak to me because I am gay, so your insults could never come close to hurting me. Baby, you don't pay my and you aren't eating my pussy, so I don't give a fuck.

I will get out of your petty little world, though. Your ilk has taken over sites like Salon and DailiKos. I make material differences in the lives of those less fortunate than me or who are in a more vulnerable position than I am in society. You should try to do that instead of being in a circle jerk with your fellow travelers.
