Believe me the result will be quite telling...

When one person makes 60 pro-Obama posts [an allegation which I don't believe to be true] it is fanatical...

When ten person each make 10 anti Obama posts -- well, it is horrendous.

Obama people in this forum are kind enough not to jump on the same vagon with you red hot, sssmoking Obama haters -- except me.

Yep, it makes sense.

At least I don't support a terrorist state called Israel founded by real terrorists.

I don't approve Obama's Middle East policy, by the way--the only shortcoming I have seen in his campaign. He is too soft towards Israel...

Who wouldn't be, now that road to the White House passes through AIPAC.

Count the anti-Obama threads in the forum. Then compare them with those that are seen as pro-Obama...

One person makes pro-Obama threads... Allegedly, sixty threads...

Ten person (or maybe more) make anti-Obama threads... Clearly more than 100... (Soma even claimed Obama to kiss their small town ass... Soma called Michelle a bitch... )

A fair-minded person should see this situation and reach a conclusion...

Is there one fanatic in this forum who defends one candidate?

Or, are there a bunch of fanatics who savagely attack that candidate, without making clear their own position about the candidate they support?

Isn't there an unbiased judge over there?

And that conclusion would be that ten individual posters are averaging only ten posts a piece while, on the flip side, one poster is averaging 60.

The word "fanatacism" fits...

Clearly, that's the case...

Why should ten people; Hell, a thousand people feel more compelled to clarify their position about their candidate when the one fanatic doesn't?

Right wing produces ten fanatics while Liberal wing can produce only one... That's how I read the bigger picture.

And with this, you made it impossible any liberal/left wing person to consider the right wing candidate.

This high level of fanaticism scares me a little bit... How could it be possible that so many people can come together in their hatred towards one candidate...

I don't consider ten posts fanatical...

If you'd like to discuss the content of my post, I'll be happy to do so. Discussing the poster (me), as I understand it, is not permitted...

One cannot discount the possibility that there's a great deal of reason to not like him...

To not like him... Reasonable.

To hate him and to band together in this hatred... Scary.

Re: Why We Should Vote for Barack...

I'm leaning in Obama's corner which is very strange for me as I have been a Republican since Ike. I do not like the Bush/Clinton/Bush years as they destroyed the Republican Party by trying to wander into a One World Order Empire Building power force.

Obama is preaching Socialism, with a restriction on guns and a redistribution of wealth but he wants out of Iraq. The GOP has lied and manipulated us all into an unwarranted war with more on the way. So the decision is to survive another 4 years of Bush with McClain or get us out of Iraq and return to the Constitution not to enter into any other nation PERIOD! I can't remember another President who abused his power and lied his way into the Middle East for the oil. This monster named Bush should be arrested for treason but I would rather see him head for Paraguay and stay the hell out of America.

I'm not working for Obama but unless something comes up that is not a product of Rush's imagination, I will vote for him. But I want the GOP to stop their assault on American's social lives and knock off this illusion that America is a Christian nation. I am currently an Independent and the movement is heading into a limited government with individual freedoms restored.

My views have never been popular here and I took a chance that this forum may have seen the light and realize how horribly we have been treated under Bush.

Sorry, but this isn't the proper thread to discuss works of fiction...

A vote for Obama is a vote for someone who doesn't want Americans to have individual freedoms...

So let me get this straight...

You are a Republican. You are upset with Bush. I can well undertstand that, and share that.

You say that Obama is a socialist. Unquestionably true.

Then you say that your remedy for the Bush presidency would be a socialist president with a left-wing congress to back up and implement his socialist policies.

Now we have move into Lewis Carroll territory.

You now defend and support a socialist president who will rule his regime with a leftist congress?

But you have always been a Republican?

Re: Why We Should Vote for Barack...

Uh, shouldn't be voting for that fool. No way, no how we should let that scrotum anywhere near the power to appoint SCOTUS justices.

That is the ONLY real difference between a Dem or GOP POTUS, this cycle. Talking points aside, none of the candidates is going to pull out of Iraq immediately or socialize health care or "fix" gas prices, etc... within the next term.

So, my vote and hope is for as little to "get done" (read: "get fucked up") as possible over the next four years in conjunction with reasonable SCOTUS appointments.

Hope, schmope, Obama, you meatless sandwich of a typical politician.
