Election 2008 in a message board

[FrenchieCat]

3. What False hope? Please elaborate on your Op.

[BlueStater]

5. Hope can not be simplified with bumper sticker slogans like "Yes We Can" n/t

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

11. Never actually listened to an Obama speech, have you?

Nobody ever said it's as simple as a bumpersticker.

Hope vs. pre-literate cynicism.

[Shakespeare]

14. "pre-literate cyncism"

That may be the most perfect description I've read yet of the knee-jerk criticism of Obama's message. :thumbsup:

[BlueStater]

15. Enough of them to know I don't like or trust him.

As is my right, believe it or not.

I don't give a damn if he can talk well. And in my opinion, his oratory skills only seem to stand out when he speaks to large crowds. Whenever he speaks to only one or a few people, you get a lot of "uhhh" and "ummms".

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

18. Zero, in other words.

Yes, BS, you're perfectly welcome to be ignorant.

[BlueStater]

19. Ignorant because I don't see what you see

You BO supporters sure do like to talk down to people a lot.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

21. Only to people who deserve it.

It's not our fault you've just made a fool of yourself.

[BlueStater]

23. Which would be anybody who doesn't think Obama is the greatest thing since sliced bread

And I really don't give a damn what you think of me.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

24. If that's what you've got to say to convince yourself.

Frankly, now that he's the presumptive nominee, I've got no problem saying that anybody not supporting him in the GE is a worthless piece of shit.

[BlueStater]

26. I said I'd vote for him, didn't I?

But that's it. I have every right to not care for him whether you fucking like it or not.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

27. Yeah, but I don't believe you.

:shrug:

[BlueStater]

28. Then you would be wrong n/t

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

29. You pretend to support him, then naively attack his message.

You're not particularly subtle, BS.

[BlueStater]

30. I don't support him as I don't believe in his message

I'll just vote for him because the prospects of a McCain presidency horrify me. There's a difference.

16. Here's a clue: A Bookmark is NOT a Book

In many, many areas of study (e.g. philosophies) there are phrases and labels that themselves do NOT convey understanding but, for those who've invested the effort to gain that understanding, offer a reminder or an anchor for part of the lesson. It is delusional to infer otherwise. Slogans are NEVER a substitute for in-depth study - and are not intended to be.

[BlueStater]

12. Please tell me where I said Edwards would be president

Are you deliberately lying or just delusional?

[Alexander]

13. We're sorry that you're so "bitter" you need to "cling" to Edwards.

[BlueStater]

20. I'll vote for Obama in November but other than that he'll get no support from me n/t

[SoonerPride]

25. You dropped this

[dionysus]

31. OH SNAP

[Dbdmjs1022]

9. "In the unlikely story of America there's never been anything false about hope"
