It’s eerie how much Those People sound like Us People.

Mad at Obama but will vote for him because ‘the alternative is unthinkable.’

Hasn’t that become our mantra as well?

Change the names, reverse most of the policy positions, remove the profanity and most of the hostility (except maybe against certain religions), and a lot of the themes are similar to what many FReepers say over here.

(The truth as found on DU. Obama will be lying is *ss off to get elected, so get out and vote for him.)

Hey, what say you go take a walk, ignore Obama for a while, let him do the dirty part of this work of getting elected, hopefully without losing his whole soul and towards the end, come back and I think you’ll see something more to your liking. He’s pandering right now, it’s what he’s supposed to do right now and those of us who can’t watch had best sit it out a while.

No, he isn’t going to be the second coming of the messiah, but right now he’s going to look a lot like Judas. Ignore it. He isn’t talking to you right now and if you demand it of him and he chooses to listen to you, he will lose.

He needs more than just our votes so he’s pandering. Close your eyes and stick your fingers in your ears for the next few months - this isn’t the time to take him to task. He knows he can count on us to block some of his stupider ideas but he needs to be able to trust that we will wait for him to be elected before we *** pounce.

While he has integrity,(HaHaHaHa!) he’s also a Chicago politico - he knows what he needs to do right now. If you can’t wait, then don’t watch, not right now and not until the convention. He’s grooming people you don’t like to vote for him and I guarantee you aren’t going to like how he does it. It’s ugly.

It was ugly when Kennedy did it and it was ugly when Clinton did it and it was necessary in both situations and it’s necessary now. Basically, what I’m telling you is that he knows this is indefensible and not doable.

He also knows that Ma and Pa don’t know that and that they really want him to say this so they can feel good about voting “values”. He’s gladhanding for their votes and gosh, it’ll be too bad when he isn’t able to do those things but thats politics.

Operation Chaos is continuing, covertly. The Hillary supporters on DU (that survived) are spun up into an extreme level of pisstivity, and every time Obama makes an obligatory move to the center the Hillbots attack.

We should just let the Freepers in with welcome arms now.

At least we would be fighting them.

Modern humans instinct when online is to fight. That mindset was especially obvious during the Primaries.

Let's let the enemy in here. Otherwise we will just continue to demonize and devour ourselves.

I hate this place now.

Obama is trying to drink Holy Water now, and his fans are shrieking and burning?

Why? Why do I have to put the needs of everyone ahead of my own AGAIN? Why do I have to worry about their problems when they're obviously unconcerned with mine AGAIN? When do *I* get to matter? When does my FAMILY get to matter to someone other than me?

LOL. MeMeMeMeMeMe "When is the election going to be about ME?"

That was really pretty funny, and very insightful. I particularly like the guy who said don’t worry, he’s just pandering, he won’t really do it. My thoughts exactly!

I realize that the rules of DU state we must support the candidate.

Wow...that's pretty authoritarian.

Then again, Marxists like that stuff.

They'll change just as soon as they hear about what's going on with Democrats down in Durham NC. Check out

http://www.wral.com/news/local/story/3128703/

  - Democrat party officials engaged in Satan worship, bondage, rape, beatings, kidnapping, dog cages, etc.

Absolutely incredible ~ like usually Democrats don't get caught doing this stuff, and when they do the MSM usually doesn't report on it.

No one has any idea how widespread this sort of behavior is, but I wouldn't be surprised to find it all the way to the top in the Obama machine.
