Is there ANYONE who would vote for EITHER Dem candidate in the GE?

[WritingIsMyReligion]

I still can't vote in November, but for fuck's sake, you'd think that Obama was the son of the devil or Hillary the biggest corporate whore alive, judging by GD :P, and that ONLY ONE of them can do the job and that if Obama's elected all the gays will be persecuted and if Hillary's elected then the US is going to become a Clinton/Bush dictatorship and blahblahblahBLAAAAAHHHHH. There's some interesting stuff in GD :P, but I loathe the hysterics and the people SWEARING TO GOD that if X is the nominee, he/she won't be voting in the GE and will be moving to Canada/Europe/Australia/wherever.

:crazy:

[MrCoffee]

1. Me...I couldn't care less who gets the nomination

Tweedledee or Tweedledum, I'll vote for either one.



HA! I am most ill at rhymin' and stealin'.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

3. LOL.

Part of me is tempted to post this in GD :P, but I know better. :evilgrin:

[MrCoffee]

6. I've posted the Tweedledee/Tweedledum part in GD-Funkytown

with nary a ripple.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

7. Strange what sets them off and what doesn't, sometimes.

:D

[Bake]

35. Nipple? Did you say nipple? Paging temeah ... paging temeah ...

:rofl:

Bake

[MrCoffee]

36. insolent bastard!

:rofl:

[quip]

51. Nipple meter quivering....

Hmm, appears to be a false alarm. I have been fooled before:



Carry on.

[Inchworm]

2. *waves*

me me me

:hi:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

4. Whooo that makes two!

:P

:hi:

[racaulk]

5. I have issues with both, but I will vote for whoever gets the Dem nom.

Because, despite their faults, they're both a hell of a lot better than McCain!!!

[WritingIsMyReligion]

9. Exactly.

Abstaining from voting to prove some sort of ideological purity is something too many liberals always feel the need to do.

[Critters2]

29. Of course, my beagle is a hell of a lot better than McCain.

She won't run, though. Something about things in her past that might get dredged up.

[NewJeffCT]

34. Me, too

way better than McCain.

[Skittles]

38. this sould be the position of ALL OF US

no worshiping, no demonizing, just debate the difference, pick one and hope like HELL they can beat a repuke

[Fran Kubelik]

8. Hey

Yup.

[elleng]

53. HEY

(((FRAN KUBELIK!!!)))

[BarenakedLady]

10. Of course.

I don't feel strongly for either at this point, but will vote for who ever is the Dem candidate.

[BeachBaby]

11. Count me in.

If the last 7+ years didn't teach us anything, nothing will.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

12. Defectors to Nader?

:grr:

What the hell point does abstaining from voting or voting for nonviable candidates prove? Nothing, of course, though it does saddle you up with Republicans for the next four years.

[BeachBaby]

41. What are you talking about?

You replied to my post, but it makes no sense. I posted that yes, I will vote for either Democrat.

So what's the problem?

[WritingIsMyReligion]

46. Nothing.

When you talked about the past 7+ years, I assumed you were also talking about the past two election cycles and all the third-party skirmishes then, so I went off on a Nader tangent. Sorry; that wasn't obvious. :D

[azmouse]

13. I'll vote for either one but my vote won't matter much.

I live in AZ and this state will end up going for McCain of course. It makes me sick having to hear about him day and night.
The local news practically has him coronated already. :puke:

[Seeking Serenity]

14. I will

if only to cancel out DH the Republican's vote (he's as happy as I am with this whole thing, which ain't much).

[WritingIsMyReligion]

17. What does Repub DH think of McCain?

:hi:

[Seeking Serenity]

19. Not happy.

He was all about Duncan Hunter initially, then Thompson, then Romney.

Bless his heart, he can't catch a break.

Of course, I'm in a similar situation (Kucinich, then Edwards). I can live with Obama.

Alas.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

28. Haha, you two sound rather diametrically opposed, politically.

:evilgrin:

[TZ]

15. What are you talking about..

Didn't you know that there's no difference between Obama/HRC/Rove/Bush. They are all the same!!
Or at least thats what I've learned in GDP of late...:crazy:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

16. Oh no, there're differences.

If you're an Obama fan, then clearly HRC is the secret lover of Bush. If you're an HRC fan, Obama is a fraudulent pond sucker who hates women and gays and Latinos.

:evilgrin:

[annabanana]

18. According to the statisics I've seen. . about 73% of us would.. . .

Which is one reason that I find the excesses of vitriol in GD-P so strange & suspect.

[huskerlaw]

20. I will.

I think they both have some really serious issues and clearly neither was my candidate of choice, but I will vote for the Dem nominee in the GE. No question.

[suninvited]

21. I will vote for either

I prefer one, but I will vote for the other.

[Radio_Lady]

23. My sentiments exactly. Either one -- especially since our primary involvement here in Oregon is

totally unnecessary.

May 20th.

Unless they fight to the death, but we've been assured that will not happen.

Just can't get too excited about November 4, 2008.

[TreasonousBastard]

22. Me and everyone else ignoring GD:P.

[Ekirh]

24. I'll vote for either. .

Gotta attempt to make VA blue WHOOO!!!!

[La Lioness Priyanka]

25. i dont like obama but i will vote for the nominee. as soon as a nominee is elected

i will work on trying to like them

[MissMillie]

26. I do have a favorite

but if my favorite is not the nominee, I will not hold my nose when I vote for the Democratic nominee in November.

I like them both.

[Mike03]

27. OF COURSE! I like both of the Dem candidates and would never, EVER not vote.

That would be the very definition of throwing the baby out with the bath water, and I can't imagine anyone here at a place like DU--which only attracts the most intelligent political minds--saying something as stupid as that they would not vote for the Dem over the RePuke nominee.

[redqueen]

30. I think most of us would... but the dumbest are the loudest.

[SteppingRazor]

32. Wow, Redqueen! Our responses are eerily similar!

I swear I did not plagiarize. :popcorn:

[SteppingRazor]

31. Of course. Most of us would, I think.

But the loudest and most frequent posters are also, not coincidentally the angriest and dumbest.

[redqueen]

33. Hahaha... neat!

I love when that happens. GMTA right?

:)

[SteppingRazor]

37. Totally!

:toast:

[graywarrior]

39. That's my plan....either/or.

Meanwhile, I ignore most threads here.

[NoPasaran]

40. It's Coke or Pepsi, really

I prefer Coke, but if there's no Coke, I'll take Pepsi (all three)

[crispini]

42. Me.

Looking forward to working for a D in NOV!

[AlCzervik]

43. me too, 1-20-09 is so close.

[SeattleGirl]

44. I'll be voting for whichever Dem gets the nomination.

I have my preference, but if the other one gets the nod, I'll vote for them.

The thing that would piss me off is if the Super Delegates went against the will of the majority and cast their votes for the other person.

And my anger wouldn't be so much about if that happened to my candidate of preference, but because it would nullify the votes of them majority, and to me, that is just WRONG.

[Rhythm]

45. Straight-ticket Dem in the GE...

I'm voting for Hillary when West Virginia finally gets to hold it's Democratic Primary in mid-May... at the rate we're going, it might even be relevent!

After someone has the nomination, i'll be happy to volunteer time on the phons or at the county Dem HQ, and i will be voting for nothing but Democrats.

Any of ours is vastly preferrable to any of theirs.

[yellowdogintexas]

47. you bet your sweet bippy I will. No WAY would I sit out a presidential

election over the nominee. the alternative is sooo much worse.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

48. Of course.

[CBHagman]

49. The Dems could nominate the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man...

...and I would not only cast my ballot for him but I'd be found at the Metro stops giving out literature urging people to vote for Stay Puft. I haven't voted for a 'can presidential candidate since 1976 (and hey, that was Jerry Ford, and it was a different era), and I have no intention to start voting GOP again.

[NNadir]

50. Count me in.

I'm voting Democratic in November, just as I always have.

Shit, I even voted for Dukakis.

I think either of our candidates will make a good President.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

52. Yeah, me.

I'm a yellow-dog Democrat. You got a (D) after your name, I vote for you.

[Robeson]

54. Absolutely.

[liberaltrucker]

55. Dear child, I support Barack for the nom, but if Hillary is OUR candidate

She has my full support, vote and $$. Current bullshit notwithstanding.

Have I made myself clear enough?

:hi:
