Reply #41: We don't use the term "Obamatrons" anymore [View All]

We also don’t say "Obamabot", “Obamamaniac”, or “Barackanoid” or whatever snarky little term you dream up for passionate supporters of Barack Obama for president. The proper collective term is “Democrats”, as in: “Because of his insurmountable lead in popular votes, number of states carried and, most importantly, delegates, the Democrats will undoubtedly choose Barack Obama as the party’s nominee for the 2008 presidential election.

The term “Hilbot”, on the other hand, is still perfectly valid, as is “Hillaroid”, “Clintonista” and, for our Appalachian friends, “Hillbillary”. Any of these terms is perfectly acceptable to describe those who refuse to accept the fact noted above.

Within this group is a small, shrill subset who has vowed not only to withhold their support of the Democratic nominee, but to either vote for McCain, or a “protest” candidate, or withhold their vote altogether.

These people should also be referred their rightful name:“Republicans”
