How dare you come around with any of that hope bullshit. Get into DESPAIR. That's where it's at. And Despair wins!

12. No, it isn't.
I caucused for Obama, so didn't give me any of that "Hillarybot" nonsense.

A year ago, if someone had asked me to rank Hillary, Edwards, and Obama, I would have said Obama was the best of the three.

He has a good record, and I'm hoping that, underneath his message, he's still a good man.

His message is horrifying.

I never thought I'd come to DU and see a plurality of posters convinced that it's a bad thing to provide health care for the poor. And yet Obama's message has convinced people of that.

In 2000, George W. Bush ran for President, and he ran sending the exact same message that Obama's campaign has been sending: hope, change, church rhetoric, keep the conversation about personality rather than policy, character assassination in place of dialogue, keep people in the dark about what really matters. That's Obama's message, just like it was Bush's.

I really hope his message is a front, and under that message there's a decent human being.

13. Good post.
I too am troubled by the right-wing rhetoric and the anti-intellectualism coming from the Obama camp.
