I want to vote for Obama. [View All]

[smiley_glad_hands]

But some of his supporters here act like fanatics. Maybe I should stop reading DU, been here since 01. Dunno, but some of this "all we need is hope" bs is killing me. Take it down a notch or two. The "cult" label for bama heads is not unfounded. He is not the second coming of Christ.

I vote next tuesday and I am leaning towards Bama, for now, but only because he is the most likely to expound upon what Dean is doing at the DNC. Hill's peeps have attacked Dean and the DNC in the past, and I only see it getting worse because of Fl and MI.

I do not want a candidate who wants to make nice with republicans. Do you honestly think this is going to be reciprocal? If he gets the nomination, it will be all rezko all the time. I think 2004 should be a reminder enough to squash all the warm fuzzy feelings. It will be attack attack and attack, what will Obama do then?

Do you honestly think white southern republicans will vote for a black democrat (or a white woman for that matter)? Enough with the unity bs and stop trying to attract conservatives at the risk of turning off those of us who know better.

On edit: The 04 primaries were no where near as bad as this time around. People had their candidate and debated the issues, when the nominee was picked, DU rallied around Kerry.

Also, to clarify, fanaticism usually leads to bad things (fascism). We've seen what bush bots can do.
