Too many posters having "epiphanies" and sudden;y changing candidates

[LostinVA]

Notice that lately, gang? I think they're doing that because it gives them a chance to attack all the Dem candidates.

CAN people change who they support? Of course they can. But... come on.

Let's be vigilante and not feed them anymore, okay? ANY of them. It's all a fucking game to them.

[TwilightZone]

1. Yep. "I was supporting X candidate until he/she did this!!!"

Yeah, right.

[no name no slogan]

2. I had an epiphany...

you favorite candidate is:
* inadequate
* compromised
* not a "REAL" Democrat
* a racist, or
* a sexist

(no matter who you are, or who are supporting at this instant) :P

[LostinVA]

5. It's times like this I wish Rick Astley was an American citizen!

And -- bingo!

[jlake]

3. Yep.

[boston bean]

4. I was a JE supporter then turned to Hillary, honestly. I have no hidden agenda.

:shrug:

[LostinVA]

11. I'm not saying you, or some other posters, no matter whom they've changed to

But... some are jumping around JUST to trash Dems.

You have a preferred candidate, but haven't been pissing all over Edwards now, right? I haven't seen it, anyway.

[boston bean]

13. right, gotcha now. thanks. nt

[Lucinda]

15. Same with me. I do get what the OP means though.

It's a blood sport for some people here.

[LostinVA]

19. GREAT way to put it -- "blood sport"

[Lucinda]

28. It seemed appropriate.

:D

[Double T]

6. I think at this point it isn't unreasonable to support more than one candidate.

[BeatleBoot]

7. It's Way Too Fake

and naive.

Like most of the stuff posted here, in the big picture, it don't mean much.

[Perky]

8. Hey at least you and I have been consistent

small consolation I am sure. but it is something.

[LostinVA]

12. That's my point -- these "ephiphanies" are contrived

[Occam Bandage]

9. It's a lovely game.

A claims to be Edwards, posts bullshit about Clinton.
B claims he's seen the light, switches to Obama, posts bullshit about Edwards.
A claims he's seen the light, switches to Clinton, posts bullshit about Obama.
B claims he's seen the light, switches to Edwards, posts bullshit about Clinton. And around and around we go.

[OzarkDem]

10. Agree, don't feed the trolls

their tactics are sooo transparent. :eyes:

[Harper_is_Bush]

14. You just fed them. n/t

[LostinVA]

17. Nope, not at all

I think this is something we can all agree on -- "we" being the supporters -- NOT "supporters" -- of all of the Dem candidates.

[Harper_is_Bush]

26. I have no idea what that means, but by drawing attention to it you're encouraging more of it.

Some folks will do it now just to piss you off.

[durrrty libby]

16. Faux rage is the big game in the "tubes"

[madeline_con]

18. You must not like the candidate they're shifting to, or

you wouldn't have mentioned it.

Who was it that was o.k. to support, but now, we're just being silly?

[LostinVA]

21. Give me a break -- I said the opposite on here

I've noticed them jumping from people I don't like to the candidate I support and vice versa. I don't fucking CARE who the candidate is, get it? That's what I said. And you know that,right? RIGHT.

I mentioned it, because I see too many good posters SUPPORTING ALL CANDIDATES, who are being attacked from certain people.

Yesterday, I called someone on their VERY sudden switch to HRC. Last week, all they did was slam here, now suddenly all they are doing is trashing Edwards and Obama. How about knwoing teh messenger before you accuse them of something?

And, now Harper is Bush is right....

[madeline_con]

25. Some people will support he Dem candidate, whomever they may be.

It's early. Try to chill.

[Evergreen2U]

20. 1 Question: Who takes corporate dollars and who doesn't?

Our government and our Earth is being decimated by corrupt corporate cronies...political shills for corporate greed on steroids, disguised by the words "free" trade and privatization. Corporations are ruling us right now which is why all our jobs have been sent overseas (so they can profit more) and why the EPA has been gutted (so they can pollute our earth without having to worry about paying for clean air & water) Why medicare profited the drug companies, not the elderly. Why our TV corporate media no longer tells us the news except for pap and propaganda.

Wake up: Don't vote for the corporate cronies. As far as I know only Dennis Kucinich & John Edwards are not owned in part or entirely by corporate donors.

[LostinVA]

23. Nothing to do with the --I'm discussing unity on some level between all of us

I have no problem with either of your candidates, but this isn't a thread to trash other posters' candidates. There are enough of those.

[Cha]

22. Tough.

It's really tough all over.

[LostinVA]

24. Am going to bed -- thanks to everyone for responding!

[99th_Monkey]

27. LOL .. did you really mean "vigilante" ? Scuze me, your Freudian slip is showing.

In my dictionary it says "a self-appointed groups who undertake law enforcement without legal authority"..

maybe you meant "vigilant" .. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

[Beausoir]

29. A lot of it is bandwagon jumping. A lot of it is trolling. Very little of it is well thought out.

Lots of people are sticking their finger up to the wind and reading the latest polling..whether it is from a week ago or a day ago...and then jumping onto the bandwagon.

And then..there are the trolls.
