To all of Joe Bidens primary supporters

[SwampG8r]

you are all to be commended
as a group you have represented your first choice well
not one demand was issued by a biden supporter here that i know of
not one threat of a hold out has been issued by a biden supporter here that i know of
not one threat of disruptive behavior has been made by a biden supporter here that i know of
joe biden would be proud of all of you
i am too
you guys are a class act
thank you all
and if its not richardson then i hope it is biden

and let me add i myself am envious of the class you have shown throughout this entire process

[WeDidIt]

1. Biden has been a class act since day one

and his supporters reflected that class.

[cboy4]

2. Oh here we go

:eyes:

[SwampG8r]

3. where we going?

this is about biden and his supporters only
any inference you make is yours
and yours alone
there are only 2 names in this OP and they are biden and richardson
stop trying to see what isnt there

[cboy4]

7. Mmmmm Hmmmm. Everyone knows you were addressing

Hillary supporters .. you know, the PUMAs. :eyes:

[SwampG8r]

9. hillarys supporters arent pumas

i take shots at her "supporters" but i always use the quotes
this is to show the lack of belief i have that they are what they say they are
her actual supporters are the furtherest (is that a word?) from a puma you could find
notice no quotes?
i have found them to be intelligent and engaging
a little free to use hate to explain others feelings but besides that very nice as a group
but i have never actually believed that those who purport to represent her actually do

10. Thank you

That really means a lot to all of us! That was really touching.

[jillan]

11. Thank you for your kind words.

:)

12. I'll echo this.

I was a Kucinich guy, then an Edwards guy (yeah, I know, ugh). But Biden supporters *consistently* impressed me with their decency and reasonableness, and that's no small part of the reason I've come to be a big fan of Biden as the VP pick.

Kudos to all Biden supporters - and quite probably congratulations very soon. :)

P.S. Richardson would have been a fine choice as well, and I hope he is strongly considered for Sec. State.

[merci_me]

13. I'll admit, I was a primary waffler..........

I was a Biden supporter, no wait, Richardson, no Biden, Richardson, Biden. And I'm a Clarkie. Can you tell I'm a sucker for a beautiful smile? lol

Speaking of beautiful smiles, I was a congressional district co-ordinator for McGovern in '72 and that's when I first heard of Biden. I've watched him for years and he's always been one of my favorites.

My husband was a big Richardson supporter and I waffled day by day, but how could you not feel great about both of them?

[SwampG8r]

17. i still have lumps from the 72 election

[WheelWalker]

14. You are very kind.

[fadedrose]

15. He's the one I would have voted for in Michigan

if we had a decent ballot at an approved time . . .

[Bjorn Against]

16. Honestly I was not a big fan of Biden until I heard from his supporters.

During the primary season every Biden supporter I saw on here was very calm and rational, they promoted their candidate without tearing supporters of other candidates down. That really did help sell me on Biden, I still don't like all the votes Biden has made, but his supporters have helped me to see a really good side of him.

[MiniMe]

29. And Biden did the same during the debates

He was the one who pointed out that they should be going after the repukes, not each other. I think that may have been the debate where he used the noun, verb, and 911 line.

[Muttocracy]

31. yep, the moderator was trying to make him go after Hillary

and maybe Barack too and he turned it into a brilliant double rip on Guiliani and Bush.

[crimsonblue]

18. maybe they were just as upset as all the other supporters

but since there were only ten of them, they got out yelled.

[SwampG8r]

20. ..

:spank:

[chiefofclarinet]

21. HEY!

We didn't bash your candidate. Quit bashing ours.

27. Your opinion, not mine

Your candidate did not get picked. Just because you don't agree with Obama on this doesn't make it a bad decision.

Mine did. I think he's the best complement to Obama. However, if you don't like Biden, don't bash Biden on post that supports him. You're bound to get attacked.

[Naturyl]

28. He's all of our candidate now. For VP.

And those who don't like it are simply screwn. Cry me a river - meanwhile, I'll be supporting the ticket.

[chiefofclarinet]

19. Good to hear

After tackling the infections that are "CNN called it for Biden" & "This is why Biden sucks," it's really nice to see a post about Biden that is both rooted in established fact and completely positive.

I was one of the (very few) that actually got to caucus for Biden in Iowa. Unfortunately, we didn't have 15%, so we had to scatter to the winds. I went with my #2, who is the nominee now.

IF the Obama campaign confirms it, I'll be ecstatic. Until then, I'll hold my excitement back.

[nomaco-10]

22. Thank You! It's not very often that I am accused of being a ....

class act.

I'm usually vilified for being not a staunch enough billary supporter.

Vindication is good. Post deletions and mod reprimands are bad.

WOO HOO. YEAH BIDEN!

[KAZ]

23. K&R, but I don't think this thread will survive.

[Shoelace]

24. darn, I was hoping for Al Gore. Onward!

whatever, they all get my vote.

[gateley]

25. That is so sweet, swampg8r - thank you.

It means a lot. :hug:

[VolcanoJen]

30. Hell yeah, Biden Supporters!!!
