Who Gives A Shit ?...
I can't for the life of me figure out why people are at each others throats over these two candidates.
They are for all practical purposes the same person.
You act as if You were deciding between Dennis Kucinich and Joe Leiberman.
I could see people going ballistic over that match-up.
That is a day vs. night battle unlike this fight over from what I can see is almost nothing.
Just pick one of these people and move along already.

Like I said, Who gives a shit!!!

Lets be honest,
Neither of these candidates are going to end these "wars" and bring all our troops home.
Neither of these candidates are going to get us the universal not for profit health care We deserve.
I could go on but it just gets me depressed.

Don't get me wrong,I will vote for which ever corporate slave you decide on in the general but if it
looks like a blow out come November I'm writing in Kucinich.

Otherwise I don't give a shit. :shrug: :hide:

8. BECAUSE ONLY OBAMA CAN BEAT McCAIN !!!!
The real goal is to get rid of the neanderthals...

They want Clinton, because they are prepared for her.

But Obama .. is the only one that can beat McCain.

9. Because the REAL issue is the GE next November
I honestly don't believe that Clinton can beat McCain, and feel quite strongly that Obama can. Hillary cannot win the general election, and thus we get 8 more years of Republican mis-rule. That is why I give a shit.

13. I am sympathetic to your viewpoint.
I'm just sitting here waiting to be told what corporatist I need to vote for in the general election.

I don't begrudge supporters of either candidate though. You gotta go with who you believe in. Unfortunately I don't believe in either of these two.

Oh well. That's how it shakes out I guess.

41. Alot of this election will depend on the demeanor of the candidates
and the delegates at the convention. If this BS that has carried on here is carried over to the convention, it wil be 1968 all over again.

there is nothing to logically explain the adulation and hatred displayed in this campaign - nothing but media-generated garbage that a lot of people seem to have bought

31. Narcissism of small differences?
The Narcissism of small differences is a term coined by Sigmund Freud in 1917, based on the earlier work of British anthropologist Ernest Crawley. The term describes the manner in which our negative feelings are sometimes directed at people who resemble us, while we take pride from the "small differences" that distinguish us from them.

The term appeared in Civilization and Its Discontents (1929-1930)<1> in relation to the application of the inborn aggression in man in ethnic conflict.

Glen O. Gabbard, M.D. suggested Freud's "Narcissism of Small Difference" provides a framework within which to understand that in a loving relationship there can be a need to find, and even exaggerate, differences in order to preserve as feeling of separateness and self. <2>

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissism_of_small_differences

Micheal Ignatieff's book "Blood and Belonging" makes use of this concept as well.
