Really, it is.

It doesn't mean that person is senile, or daft, or gone round-the-bend, or stupid, or bought-and-paid-for, or blackmailed, or evil, or stupid, or a moral reprobate.

It just means that person doesn't agree with you on a matter of politics. Everyone has different motives, different aspirations, different hopes, different fears, different judgments.

The same holds true for people here - it's just silly to draw conclusions about someone's mental state or intelligence because they disagree with you on which politician they prefer.

So just stop it.

7. Hey, more power to 'em
I'm not going to disparage an old stall wort like Ted or anybody else for that matter. In fact, I respect his choice and will feel better about supporting Obama if he should win the nomination in spite of his awful rotten supporters here on DU. I actually like Obama, it's his supporters who I can't stand.
