What will happen to HRC and those of her supporters who are true believers?
Does a dinosaur have the ability to see the pivotal moment in time?

A Jurassic focal point... the turn away from obsolescence?

I have no doubt that the "New Generation of Americans" are about to save the boomers from themselves... but the question is, "Will they ever know that they have been dragged... kicking, screaming, and pouting into the next epoch.?"

Or will they will just pout... and wait for the inadequate gene-pool to dissipate through the life and death process. Sad that we are likely creating a smallish herd of angry folks... who will never cross the bridge and appreciate the 'Brave New World'. Welcome the new flock of 'Pattus Buchananisaurus Rex'. We will do our best to be patient.

If you are polite... we won't isolate you on an island with warning signs that say, "Abandon hope all who enter here." lolol

4. Yep -- Hillary is not my Messiah
She's a presidential candidate. Not a rock star and not a messiah. Some people around here need to realize that about their candidate.

21. You will not find a single Obama supporter who will call him a "messiah" with
a straight face.

Let's cut the disingenuousness, shall we? Clinton's supporters have been FAR more willing to threaten to sit out the GE than Obama supporters if their chosen candidate loses the primaries.

Don't act like you have an exclusive claim on honesty and modesty. That "messiah" bullshit is just some shit Clinton's camp came up with to insult a new generation of voters who might dare NOT to vote for her. How dare they?

To all Obama supporters, Obama is their candidiate of choice. IF you're putting the "messiah" claim on it, that's your pathology, not theirs.

5. Most of us are die-hard Democrats. We'll fight this election to the defeat of McCain.
We will be united behind our eventual nominee. I don't know who, in our party, is going to find support for elevating McCain, through outright support or through apathy.

10. HRC is a political candidate for whom I voted.
Not some messiah in whom I'm a "true believer". I think somebody has this shit backwards. And for a bunch of younger people who keep bitching that they're being derided for being involved for the first time, etc, etc, you certainly are doing a lot to disenfranchise anybody over 35. Not to mention you're chastising people who claim they won't vote for Obama, yet acting in a way that pretty much guarantees that many people won't just because you behave like such abrasive boors*. I don't normally get Biblical on people, but Ye reap what ye sow.









*I myself decided some time ago that I would not vote for Obama based on his policies/behaviors. Of course his supporters and their nasty behavior hasn't done anything to make him more appealing but it wasn't what made me decide not to vote for him. Nonetheless there are people who will refuse to vote for him just because of the horrid behavior of his supporters.

22. Buffy, in terms of sheer exuberance and
devotion, it is hard to beat you at being an acolyte in the political devotee racket.

23. You mistake opposition to Obama
for devotion to Hillary. That's where you err.

28. I'd be voting for Kucinich if he were still around
he was my chosen candidate. I would have even voted for Edwards as a second choice. But they're both long gone so all I have left against Obama is HRC and that's why I voted for her in the primary. If Obama is the nominee in the GE I'll write in Kucinich.

It's never been about HRC. It's been about Nobama.

That's all you can do. Never let anybody bully you into doing anything else.

12. Oh dear Christ.


Oh, and regarding Brave New World: I do not think this means what you think it means. Though you should get a DUzy for Ironic Reference of the Millenium or something.

Thanks for offering to save the HRC supporters. And thanks for reminding us that Obama is the Savior.

35. All the cool people will be in Hell anyhow.
Edited on Tue Mar-04-08 11:50 PM by Jamastiene
I'm working hard on my reservations as we speak/type.

:evilgrin:
^See? I'm even growing my horns out. :P

Let me see:
Rock stars
all the GLBT community
feminists
people who support the ACLU

sounds like a fucking great bunch of people to me. I'd be MORE THAN HAPPY to spend eternity with my peeps. Could you imagine spending eternity with someone who preaches like the OP? That could never be rightly called Heaven by any means, so we win.
