Lysol Required When Speaking to Obama Supporters Nowadays
Bad? Brilliant?

Does anyone wonder why the candidate who promised this country "new politics" and "no negative campaigning" has gone back on his word? Are his promises THAT easily broken?

Chatting with a number of Obama supporters these past few months I have found that I increasingly feel the need to bring a big can of Lysol Toilet Cleaner@. His campaign has steadily become more and more filthy. As a Democrat, I would like to know if the Obama campaign plans to rely on filth for the rest of the election. I am only inquiring so that I know to save enough money for the purchase of enough Lysol to deal with THAT amount of filth. I might have to start calling Obama the "Filth Candidate" or perhaps "Lysol" from now on if his camp continues to break his "new politics" promise.

sometime it's take lysol to clean a toilet which has been stained over the years, you asked

Yes, and with people like the Rev. Wright, no amount of Lysol will be able to clean up that mess.

Don't confuse his supporters words with his own.
I know that concept might be hard for some but
Barack Obama can actually speak for himself.

If i, as a supporter, am not as "positive"
in my defense of him then you are going the Guilt by Association route.

Which would then open up a can of worms on Clinton
that you certainly don't want to hear now...but will hear from the GOP if she gets the Partys Nomination in August.

Fire when ready!
TexasDem isn't really a Dem

but I think most people already figured that one out.

Over 100,000 Republican Rush Limbaugh fans in Texas voted for HRC in the primary and are working the message boards. They want to throw the selection process into chaos and force us to end up with a riot at the convention.

Unlike the genuine Hillary supporters, TexasDem hasn't made one cohesive argument in favor of Hillary. It's almost all about Jeremiah Wright (he also makes a lot of noise about voting for McCain, which is another giveaway). Check out his posts and you'll see.

Hollywood, you and lies seem to go hand in hand. I've made many positive comments about Hillary and Bill Clinton, many.

Maybe if you weren't so gahgah about spewing out the typical Obama filth, some of which has obviously covered your vision, you could see that Obama has nothing to run on but has been damaged enough to lose the election against ANY Republican.

Obama has become so hated in some places, people will actually vote for McCain if Hillary is not the Dem nominee. THAT'S how unlikable Obama is becoming. And compared to McCain, Obama doesn't stand a chance.

Yep, you're right. Obama can speak up. The problem is that during his 20 years at the Revs. church he DIDN'T speak up. The problem is that during those 20 years, Obama contributed thousands of dollars to the Rev. Obama KNEW his church was dealing in hatred and controversy. As a leader (supposedly) he should have spoken up. If he has been rewarding that kind of behavior, what kind of a president do you believe he will make? He is not fit to be president of THIS country.

I will use Obamas words and not tar him by association. First he said he didn't hear Rev Wright's inflammatory remarks-he was never in the "pulpit" when Wright said them and then came out with a speech saying he did hear some of the inflammatory remarks. He isn't honest and his supporters can't face up to it.They want us to suspend our common sense.

He says he was ALWAYS against the war yet in the New York Times in 2004 he said of the war "I pretty much have the same position on the war as President Bush but differ in its execution." That from the man who says he is not business as usual-he is just the opposite-he is a very traditional politician if you bother to really look at about him. AND allow yourself to critically think.

He said of Imus who said one racist sentence one when asked if Obama would fire him: Obama replied Well nbc can do what they want but I wouldn't hire him to work for me." Yet he hired
Wright on his presidential campaign who had a history of racist remarks.
He is a talented hypocrit.

And for some reason I'm having problems getting a very simple question answered: Why is it that the vast majority of blacks are voting for the black candidate?

Are you trying to imply something? Just a bit off the subject though since everyone wants to talk about racism. . .have you wondered why the vast majority of black voters are voting for a black candidate?

I agree with the statement made earlier that you should not confuse the words of his supporters with Obama's own.

As an Obama supporter, when I feel there is a ridiculous argument being made against him I am much more caustic than Barack Obama would be.

Many arguments made in favor of Clinton I feel to be fair.
It is the ridiculous ones that irritate me and you have come up with a few.

At the same time I will not confuse your words for Hillary because I know she would never say many of the things you have.

By TexasDem Mar 23rd 2008 at 5:42 pm EDT
You still haven't answered my question. You seem to be taking the Obama way and giving me the run around on a very simple question.

Again, why is it that the vast majority of blacks are voting for a black candidate?

Most of us in the Democratic Party wouldn't have to ask that question. African Americans are the most reliable democratic voters in the country. They voted overwhelmingly for Clinton in two elections, and it appeared that Hillary would get their vote until Obama inspired them to vote for him.

The best way an incompetent person can argue is to personally attack.
  
I find this post objectionable.
By helipilot Mar 23rd 2008 at 6:01 pm EDT
I object to this kind of characterization of any candidate or supporter of any candidate. I have tried to be civil and keep the discourse on a higher plane, but you seem bent more on insult and gratuitous ad hominen attacks than anything else.

I guess I will just have to try and ignore your posts. That really bothers me as I like honest debate and am very open minded.
