Fellow Obama supporters. Don't indulge threads that prolong the rancor. YES WE DID!
Edited on Thu May-08-08 09:01 AM by stevenleser
Threads like

1. I dont think Obama can win because...
2. Obama is an elitist because...
3. Hillary supporters wont support Obama in the G.E. because...
4. So and so said this bad thing about Obama...
5. Obama may or may not give money for Hillary's loans...
6. Obama kidnapped the Lindbergh baby...
7. Bad Obama...

etc. You get the general idea. Don't indulge threads like these, they are a waste of time and effort. We have won this nomination, it's time to concentrate on the General Election. There is much work to be done. We need to concentrate on themes that reach out to white middle class voters. We need to concentrate on exposing McCain's weak points.

YES WE DID win the nomination and

YES WE CAN and WILL win the General Election! Kick and Rec this if you agree!

1. Kick.
I need a mantra to repeat to keep from launching off on these people.

"I will not be like them... I will not be like them..."

9. Serious bitterness over there
Unless those posts are from some Rove trolls are thinking Operation Chaos is the way to get a puke elected.

Ah, the smoke and mirrors of politics. Lest we forget what a really dirty endeavor it can be.

11. Don't worry about any of that. Either they will come around or not. It doesnt matter.
What each of us probably should be doing is researching McCain's proposals and comparing them to Baracks, checking on McCain's past gaffes and seeing which are significant, and if we have the $ to do it, donating to Barack's G.E. campaign fund.

16. What filth the people there are.
Edited on Thu May-08-08 09:29 AM by Catherina
What was it I saw here the other day? Something like "More War! Less Jobs! McCain 2008"

Ignore them. The self-purge of racists and idiots from the Democratic Party is a healthy thing.

31. Me think thou doest protest too much
Not even a domain name and how do you know who these people are? More Rush agents and Republican trolls doing their job to smear... This is not indicative of that Candidate, and is a large grasp on your part to make it that way.....

17. Yes, that too. Completely unneccessary. Another thing we should all be doing is...
touching base with the Obama campaign in our state to see what early things they suggest we do to start moving his G.E. campaign forward in that state.

15. Yup. Time to stop feeding trolls.
Not that all Hillary supporters are trolls, I'm sure some are just legitimate supporters, but at this point most of the threads being posted supporting her could be classified as flame bait.

19. I think that is a good strategy if it helps one stay focused. I will empty my ignore list
after Skinner declares the race over and his rule goes into effect that you cannot trash the nominee (i.e. OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

21. I agree. It's kind of hard to cool down after such a contentious
primary, though. And it would be sooo much easier if she would just QUIT already. But okaaaay. I'll do the right thing. :)

23. K&R Absolutely agree
I am so ready for this whole thing to be finished and for us to get started kicking Grampy's butt. We also need to wipe the smirks off the faces of all the RW pundits on TV. They have had a free pass for too long to belittle and degrade Dems.

25. If you look at who has a vested interest in the anger continuing, it is the MSM and the Repigs
knowledge of that alone should get us all to stop fighting each other and concentrate on McSame.

27. They haven't even been subtle about it either
The MSM so very much want the Dems to keep fighting so they can keep their ratings up it's disgusting. I hear them say things that aren't true all the time to get people to tune into their programs. And the Repubs are so loving this Dem party fight-I heard one RW pundit admit how Rush and his gang of thugs are egging this on and loving it while he was giggling. I hope all of us in the Dem party can get it together and shut them up by kicking Grampy's butt in Nov. The consequences of losing to McCain are really scary. :scared:

28. Agreed
Edited on Thu May-08-08 10:29 AM by TragedyandHope
I have already done this myself since Tuesday night. I'm mainly posting on threads of reconciliation and ones where Hillary supporters are honestly wanting to learn more about Obama. And of course, anti-McCain threads.

I also avoid these too:

1. Hillary drop out now
2. Hillary is going to steal this thing
3. White people...

Honestly, we have our nominee now. The leadership and the SDs know it. Hillary knows it. Obama knows it. From now on, it's just maneuvering and both sides negotiating to cut the best deal for their own interests.

As supporters, we all need to shift our focus forward to November now, instead of looking back in the rear-view mirror of all the negativity both sides went through in the Primaries.

Hillary supporters are the KEY to November. We share the same Democratic values and both sides will need each other to win and start working on positive solutions to the problems facing the country.
