How could they vote for B. Hussein Obama? That’s the real question.
I had always thought the cause of liberalism was due to hippie mothers ingesting too much alcohol and drugs during pregnancy. The Patriot Post has a far better explanation.
Leftists politicos tend to be chronic overachievers because they have suffered significant loss — often the result of the disconnect with their earthly fathers. They subscribe to rigid doctrines and “nanny state” regimes to satiate their persistent insecurity, the result of low self-esteem and arrested emotional development associated, predominantly, with fatherless households or critically dysfunctional families in which they were not adequately affirmed.
Obama manifests all of these characteristics, and clinically speaking, there is a diagnosis. Leftists are pathological case studies of Narcissistic Personality Disorder, as outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders — the standard reference used for psychiatric evaluation.
Of course, there are many conservatives who were raised by a single parent or in critically dysfunctional or impoverished homes. However, somewhere along the way, they were lifted out of their misery by the grace of God — often in the form of a significant mentor who modeled individual responsibility and character. As a result, they have the courage to internalize their locus of responsibility.
Leftists, on the other hand, externalize responsibility for problems and solutions by holding others to blame for their ills, and by bestowing upon the state the duty for arbitrating proper conduct — even proper thought.
A footnote: It’s no coincidence that conservative political bases tend to be suburban or rural, while liberal political bases tend to be urban. The social, cultural and economic blight in many urban settings are Leftist breeding grounds for legions of the disenfranchised, those who are largely dependent on the state for all manner of their welfare, protection and sustenance.
These legions identify with Barack Obama. That is the substance, the essence of Obama.
Check out this article by a liberal democrat:

I just read all of the comments and it seems that most democrats do not want to vote for Obama. This comment impressed me the most:
Or maybe you should worry because he’s been exposed as not being the golden child you all hoped for; he is that same as any other politician (some might even say worse), but without the experience. He has the same questionable associations (Rezko, Ayers, etc) one of whom (Wright) he threw under the bus as soon as he became a liabilty. He has the same questionable dealings (HAS taken money from lobbist, the Rezko house situation, investment conflicts, etc) He has been caught in flat-out lies (How quickly NAFTAgate was swept under the rug by the press, not to mention all the lies about his past or his continual flip-flopping on Iraq depending on his audience) Throw on that his lack of accomplishment in either the Illinois legislature or the Senate, his naivete regarding international politics, particularly in regards to Hamas and Iran, his extremely liberal voting record and history of NOT being a uniter, and you have one awful candidate for president whatever his race may be.
The fact of the matter is ever since the Texas/Ohio primaries, when the pundits were saying it was the end of the road for Clinton, she won primaries in Texas, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, West Virginia, Kentucky, Puerto Rico and South Dakota, while Obama has only won primaries in North Carolina, Oregon and Montana. That’s only 3 out of 11, yet he has been saved by the flood of superdelegates, foolishly toeing the democratic party line, blind to the will of the people, eager to annoint him despite his continued downward spiral as his true self comes to light. Honestly, I question whether many of the early primaries he won would still go his way with all that has been revealed about him since then.
I am black, I am in my 20s, I always considered myself a democrat, but I will NOT be voting for Obama in November!!

They are using the same logic as the McCain supporters who think that conservatives have no choice but to vote for McCain.
