If supporters like their candidate, they are a cult. You shouldn't like your candidate.
You shouldn't be inspired by your candidate.

No we can't.

When your candidate is winning primaries and caucuses, the media is propping your candidate up. When your candidate is losing or getting second place, then there is a vast media conspiracy against your candidate.

If your candidate is winning, then it's because of the DLC, even though your candidate is not a member of the DLC.

Lobbyists somehow manage to support your candidate without donating to your candidate's campaign.

Credit Card companies support your candidate without contributing any significant amounts and your candidate drops out after Iowa...despite supposedly being the candidate from MBNA.

Requiring all bills be posted online at least 24 hours before a vote is not a significant accomplishment. Neither is having police homicide interrogations video recorded. Neither is the law to dismantle dangerous conventional weapons such as shoulder-fired missiles and anti-personnel land mines. Neither is requiring that all organizations and allocations of federal funds be made available online to the public. Neither is the security fence with Mexico. Neither is aid to African countries. Neither is lobbying and ethics reform or stopping deceptive election practices that try to suppress voter turnout. Neither is voting to bring the troops home, or introducing legislation for phased redeployment. Neither are clean renewable energy initiatives. Neither is SCHIP and unemployment benefits. Neither is divesting pension funds from Iranian oil and gas. Neither are any of the other legislation your candidate has sponsored, co-sponsored, amended, or voted on. That's all just fluff. Other than that, your candidate has been twiddling his thumbs for the past 3 years.

Community organizing is not experience. Who cares about communities? Neither is being a state senator.

Change is for idiots. We don't need change. We need what we've already had. Things are just peachy.

Your candidate's campaign is supported by idealists, cultists, minorities, whites, women, labor, students, elderly, political independents, liberal Democratic politicians, moderate Democratic politicians, new voters, bloggers, grass-roots, and other insignificant elements of humanity.

Damn those young people for being too lazy to get involved in politics. Damn those young people for getting involved in politics since they are so naive and stupid.

We don't need to move forward. We need to move backward...to the 90's.

Your candidate wins states like Minnesota, Maine, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, Alaska, and Utah because of the black voters.

Except for Illinois, Georgia, Minnesota, Washington, and Missouri, your candidate can't win any big states.

Except for all those states in every region of the US that your candidate won, your candidate has no national appeal.

The states your candidate won, just plain don't count. We don't care about those states.

Certain demographics of Democrats supported the other Democrat in their partisan primaries. Those Democrats will cross ideologies and party lines to vote for John McCain, because Democrats don't vote for Democrats in a general election.

Mexican-Americans in California are just like Cuban-Americans in Florida. Chicanos in Arizona don't support McCain, but Chicanos in California will.

Your candidate only wins because he inspires new people to participate in elections. New people shouldn't participate in elections. Bigger turnout is bad.

Never forget that your candidate wins only because people vote for him. He's not good enough to win without their votes.

Your candidate should not accept the votes of independents or Republicans. Your candidate should tell those voters to get bent for McCain.

No we can't.

Your candidate might kick puppies but definitely eats kittens. They are tastiest with hot sauce.

Super delegates are SUPER!!! These special people are more important than you, and their vote counts more than yours.

Happy Valentines week. I love you all, even the freeper trolls. Thanks whoever gave me the heart! :loveya:

3. Maybe it's Me
I have a difficult time liking someone that I don't know, my standard is that I have to know them to like them.

7. Is that why they're called a cult, because they like their candidate?
