As I read the scribblings and mindless meanderings of the various Obama trolls above, I would be remiss if I didn't repeat the obvious: by denigrating the candidate who I and about 50% of the electorate has chosen to support...Hillary Clinton...how can you people hope to entice and encourage us to support Barack Obama with any enthusiasm, if at all?
Do you really think that we will fall in line behind your candidate simply because you say so? I can understand that you support your candidate; I can't understand, though, why you are so nasty and use such vulgar language about Hillary Clinton when you do so.
You need the approximate one-half of Democrats and Independents who voted for someone other than Senator Obama to win; dissing and damning those of us who haven't voted for him isn't the way to win us over to your cause.
Our choices? (1) Hold our noses and vote for Obama, (2) vote for McCain out of protest or, (3) not vote at all, see Obama lose and try again in 2012...probably with Hillary Clinton. Those choices depend on how you treat us. Consider this fair warning...
(Notice that I had nothing bad to say about Senator Obama in this post; its his supporters who generally are a p.i.t.a.)
