Why do most Clinton supporters here post anti-Obama posts rather than pro-Hillary posts?
This forum has become mostly just Hillary supporters spewing hate toward Obama. Don't you have anything positive to say about your own candidate?

You can obviously point to Obama supporters saying negative things about Hillary, but the volume and hateful tone is nowhere near that of the Hillary supporters, particularly in the last week.

btw, GD-P is not representative of the democratic party at all in this regard. Both Barack and Hillary have a very high favorable rating among Dems, up around 80% each. So they must be well-liked by their non-supporters.

11. Mark Penn is the new Karl Rove.
Just because there's a Rove working for a Democrat doesn't mean he's any less slimy.

2. I've always thought it was 180 degrees opposite of that
Funny how people see the same thing differently.

4. I don't even know who "most" is for Clinton supporters or Obama supporters
What I do know is that of those who post the smash and dash posts for either primary candidate==both are nauseating...

12. Because "she sure lies good" isn't much of a campaign slogan
In other words, lack of good things to say about their candidate.
