  response to paranoid democrats

  A couple of you posted that republicans voted for Obama because they want McCain to win the general? What the hell kind of right-wing conspiracy crap from the Clintons have you swallowed? Take some anti-psychotic pills, dimwits, and stop insulting Obama supporters.

  I am in my late 30s, with a PhD, and I teach at a university. I don't follow anyone blindly or support a fad. I may be an idealist, but that is better than believing that life is lived in the bottom of the pond scum that is politics.

  I have had it with Clinton and her minions insulting our intelligence. Anyone who has spent any time studying anything would know that Clinton is a neo-conservative. Her divisiveness will allow her to accomplish almost nothing if she were to become president. Moreover, I, as a woman who has been hit on by scummy married men during my single years, find Sen. Clinton's support for her predator husband disgusting and insulting to me and many other women.

  I, and many of my students, are proud to be Obama supporters. And we are supporters because we know that we are individually amazing people, and somehow that amazing quality doesn't translate to the country or overseas. We have allowed others like Clinton, Bush, and others to silence us.

  We support Obama because he is not only an idealist, but also because he is an intellectual idealist. I rather stand with him than the scum that is the predator-co-dependent freak machine that is the Clintons.
