MyDD :: Were they even Democrats?

Were they even Democrats?

by TruthMatters, Sat May 31, 2008 at 10:31:08 PM EST

So I was at work all day and missed everything and as I float different blogs to get a sense of what happened comments stand out

I can no more vote for McCain than I can vote for Obama.

Oh, well, maybe I can vote for McCain, after all.

Yeah, I used to be on that bus, but I've recently transferred to the Straight Talk Express. I'd rather see McCain as I no longer have respect for the party I once loved.

Returned to the John McCain website. Searching for groups in my area as far a recruitment/activities. The site is really slow. I think that maybe MANY are trying to log on. Wasn't that way a few hours ago. Interesting.

or my fav.

I just created an account on McCain's website and its CRAZY up there.

There are so many Hillary supporters, I will fit right in it seems.

I get they are mad, but to me this goes that at 8 am this morning they were ready to fight tooth and nail for Hillary and her platform,

the fact they can so easily and quickly move to McCain I was just shocked was it ever about ANY issues for them, maybe that diary about "supporters" was right indeed.

I was just amazed, they might as well write Hillary letters, it was fun while it lasted but hey all that stuff you said the country need or how bad you said McCain was, yeah well I don't think you were right about that.

this doesn't go for all supporters, but these people who are already sending McCain money, why were they even voting for Hillary in the first place again because to me they just said that it had NOTHING to do with her platform.

Re: Were they even Democrats? (none / 0)

It all goes back to first grade and petty revenge. It shows the level their maturity continues to exist at. We don't want them on our side if that's how they act- hell, it shows us, indeed, how committed they really are about the issues important to us. I mean, they want to tell us that OBAMA supporters are a personality cult with actions like this?

Like I said, this is only a minority of the Clinton supporters, however. These assholes don't deserve to even be labeled as such.

Hooray for John McCain!

Their allegiances to the party began and ended with one candidate. Once that candidate could no longer win the nomination, their allegiances shifted to the candidate they deemed most capable of enacting revenge upon the party.

Re: The answer = no. (1.00 / 1)

Wrong, My allegiance to the Democratic Party is not determined by one candidate.

I have been a member of the Democratic Party since 1972. This is my 10th presidential election. I have voted for the Democrat in the first 9, without fail.

I do not consider Obama a Democrat. Not when he praises Republicans and Reagan and bashes Bill Clinton.

It is MY party. I am not leaving. You newcomers think you own this? Your one candidate? There is a long road ahead and it won't be long till Obama is no more remembered or revered than Michael Dukakis.

This is the problem with people of your ilk. It is not YOUR party. It is OUR party. That is, the collective group of all of us, Clinton and Obama supporter alike who will turn out on Election Day to vote for our candidate, regardless of who it is.

Newcomers? Surely you don't think that the millions who voted for Senator Obama have never before voted or even been in the Democratic party?

You want to take your ball and go home? You don't want to vote for Obama? That's fine, but don't you dare talk about YOUR party and then insult half the people in it as well as its presumptive nominee for the highest office in the land.

Secondly: as long as there is a nomination battle going on and RezkoWatch continues to vet that incredibly weak and wanting candidate Barack Obama in a fact based manner I will continue to link to RezkoWatch.

When the nomination is settled, in Denver at the latest, and assuming that Hillary will not run independently, I will of course not link to it anymore; what would be the point?

If someone feels that the democratic nominee doesn't best represent their ideals, I wouldn't say they are not a "real" dem. However, in the case of Hillary supporters going over to vote for McCain, who has nothing in common with Hillary, whereas Obama & Hillary are basically the same person (when it comes down to policies), I would question their motives.

Can we agree that having Chuck Hagel campaigning for Obama (if Hagel wants to, which I suspect he will) and winding up in the cabinet is acceptable?

I think it is important to include our opponents in actually governing the country. I dearly intend to kick their asses in November, but there are a lot of them, and I want them not only to feel involved, but to actually be involved.

I don't want them setting policy, but if a handful of them are able to do the job we need them to do, if they can josh that with their own politics, is that acceptable?

Re: Were they even Democrats? (none / 0)

The democratic party has changed. Everyone doesn't appreciate the change. The party has embraced out with the old, in with the new, changing of the guard, passing the torch, etc.

I'm stunned by the changes and I am sure that many others are too. When so-called progressives blogs embraced the labeling of the Clintons as racists, I knew it was no longer a party I recognized. When sexism became a part of the daily rhetoric of the so-called progressive blogs and the MSM media and my party remained silent I knew the old Democratic party was in its death throes.

A Republican consultant (none / 0)

lol, nice try, but I can let out the roll call of racist remarks on the teevee too...by Republicans.

and Jeffrey Toobin call him out on that and attacked the percevied sexism, so I don't see your complaint. Should we apologize for something stupid a Republican said?

The American people; they were for the war before they were against it.

Re: A Republican consultant (none / 0)

I was truly hoping that you would google media matters once you got there and see link after link of sexism in the media, particularly towards Hillary

I guess you didn't care.

and it doesn't matter who in the MSM stated it - are you stating it is okay for the MSM to go on the air and call Obama the N-word, so long they are republican?

come on.

Good (none / 0)

they deserve his leadership. I'll laugh when they try to protest when McCain's judges decide a woman brought on her own rape.

and then in the very next election, I'll vote to get that ruling overturned.

These people may women look REALLY bad.

Well...Nietzsche say that suffering leads to greatness.

So I guess they like war, poverty, corruption, torture, wire-tapping, terrorist threats, high gas prices, the housing crisis, the recession, the tax code, there are more. I just think we are facing a lot of Nietzschians

They'll vote Obama in the end. Those few that do actually vote for McCain aren't real democrats. Either way, it won't matter because we'll win w/o them.

Re: Were they even Democrats? (none / 0)

Put it this way, replace Obama with practically any other Democrat and I will vote Democratic in November.

Do you understand that there are people that just can't stand that man?

Just like I can't stand George W. Bush. I can't stand Obama's arrogance, his voice drives me freakin' nuts, and standing there with his damned nose stuck up so high that if it rains he might drown. It disgusts me.

Yes (none / 0)

do you understand that there are even MORE people who can't stand THAT woman?

I hate hearing HER voice and I only listen to her to hear what position she takes on something today, since it seems to change like the wind depending on what state she's in.

Your intimidation fails again.

Re: Yes (none / 0)

I am no intimidator. There are hundreds that arrived here at MYDD over the past several weeks, I guess they were bored at Daily KOS when non-Obamans were drummed out.

Well you can't drum me out of my party and I suspect when the Obama mania has subsided, many of these drummers will be off on the next great adventure.

Re: Were they even Democrats? (none / 0)

Weird. I'm a Democrat b/c of the policies the party supports. I had no idea that I should be basing my vote on things like what someone's voice sounds like and the angle at which they hold their nose.

I guess I should go and see if I like what Bob Barr's voice sounds like and see if I like his nose angle to determine if I should vote for him.

Hmmm, actually, I think I'll continue to vote based on policy. But as it is a free country, you are free to vote based on people's noses and voices.

Yea I'm sure the McCain website will be brought down by so much "activity". Thank you Truth matters.

Re: Were they even Democrats? (none / 0)

It's the "Harriet Christian" wing of the Democratic party.

You know, the ones that crossed-over and voted for Bush last time.

They still have their souvenir axe handles Lester Maddox sold them.
