I make a post about allegation of voter suppression... |
|
and the Clinton supporters come running out with 2000 and 2004 republican talking points. "boo hoo" and "sour grapes" and "he is whining because he can't win" I am still waiting for the Sore Looserman to be slung at Obama. But honestly, how can so many people be outraged by republican tactics in elections then start to mimic the Rush and Hannity talking points when a democrat that they support does the same types of things?

5. "the Clinton supporters come running out with 2000 and 2004 republican talking points" |

There are times when I wonder if some of the Hillary supporters arent subversive Republicans brought into the Democratic Party to help ensure a Hillary nomination.

I have thought about this...and we all do it.
I'd like to think that I'm above-the-fray, but I don't think I am.
We are all so completely invested (politically, emotionally and psychologically) in our candidates, and there is a great deal of FEAR out there.
We all believe that our candidate is the best one to deal with our very complex world. The stakes are so incredibly hight. It's not just about better schools and taxes anymore.
Our economy is in the shitter. We've got a Fascist, renegade band of nimrods who want to invade country after country and destroy our civil rights. The Constitution has been set aside. We torture. The Supreme Court is packed with sociopaths.
We're all a little freaked.
We're all willing to look the other way--when the media shows an unfair bias toward our candidate or certain aspects of the election favor our candidate. And we spin things favorably for our candidate--even when they say stupid things or treat another candidate unfairly.
We're all guilty of this. I think BushCo has turned us all into a bunch of raving lunatics, to some extent.

10. All this "anti-whining" whining is just more Obama-bashing from troll-swarms who protest overmuch |
