So, what would you LIKE to be called?
Edited on Thu Feb-07-08 07:38 PM by Kurt_and_Hunter
Since "Obama supporter" and "Clinton supporter" are unwieldy for internet purposes, how would folks prefer to be referred to?

I would suggest Hillys and Obamans.

Each is short, and carries no offensive connotation.

(edited because I miscounted the letters)

4. Rich and good looking?
That would be my choice. Perspicacious is too tedious, don't you think?

6. I'm an individual.
When someone replies to me, and says "you people" or "spoken like a true _____ supporter" or other such bullshit, I immediately put them in the Idiot File. My words are my own, and not part of any group-think.

10. I prefer to avoid the name "Clinton," I say Hillary supporter.
I don't care for Bill one way or the other, and this keeps the focus on Hillary.

I don't like "Hillys." Don't know why, it just kind of puts me off. Just being honest, here. :)

14. I have to admit, I have never enjoyed the cutesy names like ReThugLicans and so on.
I like them far less when applied to fellow DUers.

15. Bullshit they are "unwieldly.
Clinton supporter.

Obama supporter.

Wow each of those took me less than one second to type.

Respect costs an extra .5 seconds of time.... well worth it.
