Czarina: "I don't denigrate HRC supporters or call them stupid, shrill, naive, etc. I see no point in doing that."
Czarina (in the same post): "how can anyone think you're anything other than a self-righteous snob? ... Gah, your pen is poison."
Nice!
What I do have a problem with is someone whose support of one candidate enables them to make ridiculous blanket statements about people who support another candidate that are unsupported by fact. I assure you, I'm not sniffing magic peace dust and it's pure speculation on your part to predict that Obama will be another McGovern or Carter. Obama does have real policies and according to a lot of the stuff I've read (Salon, Slate, NYT, the Atlantic, mainly), they're not all that different from HRC's.
So if his policies are not all that different from Clinton, then why do you support him over her? Surely it can't be the policy differences, yet when criticized, Obama supporters always yell "stick to the policy," apparently knowing full well there is little there to debate. Interesting.
Why are you supporting him, if his policies are the same as Clinton's, if not because the magic peace dust?
