Scroll down and begin reading here:

On the radio today Medved and Hewitt both asked Obama supporters to call and say why they were supporting their man. Specifics, please. The replies were rather indistinct...

[TheKidster]

How can one support his stance on any issues when he never mentions them?

I got your answer for ya right here! Most of his supporters don't know about the major issues, they just have major issues.

The drive-bys and Dims will eventually get to the place where merely running a candidacy against Obama will be deemed racist. But I think it will likely get so ridiculous that it will spur a backlash.

[Old Professer]

How serious can you expect someone to be who drives a Honda Element and can’t remember where he last left his garage door remote?

[lakeman]

ohhh I think i’m going to faint.

[oldbill]

Obama will be the next President. We are getting what we deserve.

Conservatism will rescue us from the mess Obama and Reid and Pelosi and the RINOs will create.

I survived Carter and an overwhelming Democrat majority.

We got Reagan, who always said that there must be a pony under all that horses**t we had to endure.
2012 will be a great year!

[Blue State Insurgent]

You fed the beast? OMG. May God have mercy on your soul.

[Hoffer Rand]

You forgot the third leg of his political stool—dream.

[Blue State Insurgent]

If you vote against Hillary you will be labeled a sexist by your own wife.

[ex-snook]

Basically it is not much more than he is much more likable than Hillary. Voters like that. She has a problem. If she goes negative, she is perceived as even less likable.

what a koinkydink

[Greg F]

Satan’s minions think alike. Or SMTA as I like to say.

[Puppage]

Most of his supporters don't know about the major issues, they just have major issues.

LOL

I can't argue with you on that.

[668 - Neighbor of the Beast]

Why thanks! but it isn’t original. I think it’s from Fried Green Tomatoes (1991).

:)

[colorado tanker]

If you vote against Hillary you will be labeled a sexist by your own wife.

Oh, that happened a long time ago. :-))

[kingattax]

Well, there's his wife: Her optimism and patriotic spirit are an inspiration to us all!

dont forget the new jackie kennedy hairdo

[tomnbeverly]

Your too optimistic... Obama is the new FDR ... His entitlements are gonna make the original FDR look like he was being stingy.

But hey look even my kids think that they are owed something so it is going to be like always the young, dumb, lazy are going to get free meals on the backs of hard working, patriotic adults.

I’m getting too cynical...Maybe we’ll get a fresh start after the next 911.

[rickomatic]

Those who follow Obama are byproducts of our education system which has produced a bunch of well-speaking morons devoid of wisdom and common sense.

Are you talking about the "U S Americans and The Iraq?"

[rickomatic]

Epitomized by Susan Sarandon: Longtime liberal actress Susan Sarandon gushed about her support of Barack Obama, saying she definitely would vote for him for president. Then she added the capper: "I can't wait to see what he stands for."

ROFLMAO!! Is that a real statement from her? It sure sounds like something Mrs. Tim Robbins would say...ha. Can you give me a source for that? I gotta have that one. Pricless!!

[DarthVader]

Unfortunately I am speaking of our people.

[BBell]

severe tauntings?
