ENOUGH of this insanity! DO YOU, or DO YOU NOT support President Obama?

I'm not talking about EVERY decision. I'm not saying "in perpetuity" for the REST OF YOUR LIFE or anything like that.


I'm saying, in general.

OK?

They go pretty well with my hair.

*gets out paintball gun*

No "push polling" here, if you just read carefully.

.... and I voted for the first option.

Oh, and an edit here: The last two options did not exist when it was first posted, and the fourth option down said something about "wanting to hate him" or something very similar, that one was changed from when I posted my comment.

I expect this trend of mine to continue.

and no, I won't vote in any push polls.

same here.

It's the throwing aside of the 8 potential years of a a great Democratic Presidency because Obama is not marching in perfect rhythm to the tune inn MY head that I find ridiculous.

really? He must be omnipotent!

reads.

Yeah, I heard Obama say he'd reach out, but there is a world of difference between honoring someone on Inauguration Day who spews hate and bigotry and trying to reach compromises with people throughout a Presidency.

Barney Frank has it exactly right. Meaning, of course, I agree with him entirely. (What else does that ever mean on a message board, LOL?) Many here don't get it as Frank does, though. Pity.

As far as throwing away 8 years, that is impossible. The most anyone here can do is not vote for him next time--four years, not 8. And who knows what will happen between now and 2012? Maybe people will cool down. Maybe he'll pull a Johnson and decide not to run. Who knows? Silly to worry about that today. Talk about borrowing trouble.

I don't have to walk in lock-step with the man to be supportive.

I will not agree with ANY politician 100% of the time.

bring misfortune to everyone around them.

I'd start to wonder if I was being pandered to.

:scared:

I do not follow blindly so I need more specifics please.

Right now our present President is finishing off his term of destroying everything we have like he's on steroids toward the bitter end. I'm more interested in stopping him if we can.

Seriously, where the option for I support Obama but hate his decision on Warren?

immediately has to peg you as anti-Obama.

Frankly, I'm not "Pro-Obama" or "Anti-Obama" more like, I know he's a politician, and a little bit of an asshole, but dammit, he's our asshole, and its our job to put a Bunsen burner up to his feet to make sure he does things our way.

I only voted for him because he was the last Democrat standing. I always expected he'd be a centrist, and I don't like centrists. Of course he hasn't taken office yet, but let's assume that I'm right and he'll be a centrist president. That means I won't like him. So if I don't like him do I support him? He's not McCain, that's all I support.

I made an option for "the last Democrat standing."

by the planet.

Period. It's just not there. I completely agree.

What a joke.

I agree with you point, but you could at least have legitimate choices in your poll.

1. yes, and I agree with most of what he's done so far

2. Yes, though I disagree with some of what he's done so far

3 No, though I agree with some of what he's done so far

4. No, and I don't agree with most of what he's done so far

Just asking.

That doesn't mean I "supported" everything he advocated. I'll continue to support him when I think he's doing right, and oppose him when I think he's doing something wrong, as (I assume) most people who aren't zealots will.

in the primaries.

I just thought she had better creds but the very MOMENT he got the nom - I was TOTALLY behind him.


Even being "behind" him doesnt' mean I don't keep the radar up.

your small pool of unrequited love for obmama?

is it either Obama or the gay community for now and forever more?

he's no longer running for president, so we can agree with him on some issues and disagree on others.

Hmmm, where have I heard that sort of binary thought process before? Oh, yeah, the Bush administration.

So why couldn't I vote no IF I were HONEST?


Votes are votes. Respect is a different thing. THAT is what we have lost. RESPECT.

:scared: :eyes:

on supporting gay marriage should have resulted in a ban, period.

:shrug:

Can we no longer have an opinion? :shrug:

I guess DU really is a cult now.

still a great man

This place is insane. If you support the what is he? ah..President-elect Obama then you support taking away rights (in California), bigotry, pro-lifers, Dominionism, something about Syria, something about an AIDS foundation in Africa, um...gosh..I know there's more....

No thanks.

Oh yeah, and Rick Warren is still a terrible choice. Won't let "unrepentant" gays join his church. Check. Has programs designed to "cure" gays of being homosexual. Check. Equates gay people with child molesters and pedophiles. Check.

We aren't talking "differing view points" here. We're talking actively discriminating against gay folks, slandering them and spreading misinformation. Suggesting they can be cured, or need to be cured, is simply wrong on more levels than one.

:eyes:

When I can't sign on I'll know why.

but not my GE vote.

100%
