Please be careful with terminology: it's Hillbots vs. Obamaniacs
I see a lot of posters trying to come up with new insulting terms for each other. That simply won't do. We already have two perfectly useful and demeaning terms, and I must insist that we stick with those. To do otherwise simply cluttes up the dialog, and it scarcely needs more clutter, does it?

Don't make me turn this car around.

Thank you very much.

Even posted about this yesterday which went right over the Obama supporters' heads.

Sigh.

37. well at least he is passing on 'pure' inspiration
the Liberal Christian Coalition, we have yet to see how well that works out


It does explain why he has followers instead of supporters, I don't see anything good coming out of this kind of 'movement'

9. How about Obamican? Didn't the Great One himself use that term?
Since he intends to attract Republican voters, I think it fits. I'll be a Hillocrat.

Evey few days they become inflamed and become a major pain in the ass.

There'd be a more insulting name available than Gore Guy, but I'll stick with that.

27. Right, since Gore enthusiastically supported NAFTA
for one thing and pretty much agreed with (Bill) Clinton's policies.

14. Hmm... well this should be addressed to the Clintonistas first
they are the ones that started it off with Obamites, Obamanation, kool-aid drinkers, cult members, children.

I was fine with Obama supporters and Clinton supporters (or, Hillary supporters). And said so in a number of posts.

But, starting this week, with ALL the crap from the Clinton campaign, I call them whatever I feel like.

HillShills, Clintonistas, Hillbots, it's all back on the table.

She is no longer a Democrat. And never will be again. She is just like Joe Lieberman to me.
I said that I would vote for whoever wins in the fall. But I'm not voting for a Joe Lieberman.

20. Hillerman?
Oh, I'll vote for her if she wins the nomination, albeit with gritted teeth, because she'd still be better than McCain.

21. better than McCain???
not to hear her talk. McCain is very well qualified to be Commander in Chief, according to Hillary herself.

They both voted for the war in Iraq.

They both voted for the Kyl-Lieberman amendment.

Foreign policy wise, corporate policy wise... they are the same.

22. Rubbish
That's the same sort of crap I heard in 1968, and that attitude gave us Richard Nixon instead of Humphrey, a vastly better man who would have been a vastly better president.

I heard it again in 1980 and 2000.

23. you should pay attention to what she has been doing in the
last few weeks to a fellow Democrat. It's not "hardball politics", it's "either me or no one".

If she doesn't win the nomination this time, she is trying to ENSURE a McCain win.

31. Obamaniacs Anonymous. I call this meeting to order.
Are you ready to admit that you are powerless to your need for Obama?
Are you ready to follow Obama all the way to the convention?
Have you asked John Edwards for forgiveness, since you forgot all about him, and spent every Super Tuesday hoping and praying for Obama?

Me, too. Welcome to the club. :P

40. bwah-ha-ha!
nice to see someone add a little levity to the situation. I'm a former Gore or Clark person turned Edwards now sort of a Hillbot. I'll vote for whoever ends up being the Dem (as usual). Don't know why I ever bother caring who gets the nomination because my person never wins - even when I get down to the last 2 or 3 people.
