My sister called me a "Traitor" the other day because I voted for Hillary Clinton
I was shocked when she said it jokingly but she still said it. She is high on the Obama "hope" train and has started to bad mouth the Clinton's to which she never did before. She is getting worse and worse. It's like she dislikes the Clinton's more than she supports Obama.

50. Don't let the divders get you down. I am an Obama supporter and I will
vote for WHOEVER the Democratic candidate is

as far as I am concerned, those individuals who want to keep fueling the fire of division, should go somewhere else to preach their losing plan, and that is directed at both sides

47. No you don't.
The repubs and the corporate media are doing that without any help from you. They love to see our party divided. You seem to have bought into all of it, though. How does it feel to have your brain washed?

8. Not only are they both dems
they're virtually indistinguishable on policy matters.

The notion that one's a great progressive savior and the other's a conservative nutbag is just stupid.

48. Whoever does not support the Democratic nominee, deserves endless war
no healtcare, no social security, a screwed up economy, the end of civil rights, and right to privacy because the Supreme Court WILL BE LOST FOR decades

Incidently, I have been, and am and Obama supporter, but I will be damned if I will contribute to further division in the party, even if you believe the other side doesn't care

If we start to burn bridges with the OTHER side, then you SHOULD be terrified of what will happen when mccain becomes president

That does not mean don't support your candidate, but it does mean whoever the nominee is vote for the nominee

Anyone who WILL NOT vote for the Democratic nominee, should leave DU, and for that matter the Democratic party

27. So obnoxious that I won't vote for Obama no matter WHAT happens!
AFAIAC, the only thing the underhanded, divisive, deceptive, race-baiting Obama campaign has ruined our chances of victory in November. I would have happily supported Obama had his followers not started falsely accusing two people I greatly respect of racism. That's beyond the pale.

I won't be part of a winning team that wins like that.

to stop comparing Obama to a racist like Jesse Jackson. That comment was NOT said in a positive manner and was used to demean Obama's electability down to being just like any other black candidate.

You said his followers, not even his campaign? You're paying way too much attention to armchair politicians, anonymous blogs, opinionated folks. Just worry about the candidates, their campaigns, and their advisors.

Really amazing when you step back and see the big picture...and the truth stares you in the face.

36. And where are the Hillary attacks?
You know, the one where she portrayed Obama as a Republican on abortion to gender-bait in New Hampshire? Why isn't that website showing her attacks? Could it be because it's biased? Why don't you actually provide a source that analyzes both and doesn't have a "donate to Hillary" button at the top of the page?

Obama and Clinton supporters, along with supporters of other Democratic candidates, will need to band together in order to win in November against McCain.

We are just getting impatience with you getting on board. That "hope train" as you call it is at the station, but we can't leave until we have cat_girl25 on board with us and all the other good supporters of Hillary.

And remember, she is your sister and will be after the election is over.

Now don't delay too long, OK?

54. Did she say why she called you a "traitor"?
Personally, I have found her practically endorsing McCain to be unprecedented in presidential politics repeatedly along with her husband.

By the way, the correct term is "traitress" when referring to a female traitor.

As for sibling political chafing, I'm sorry she said that to you. There are better ways to discuss issues...

58. Disregarding all the snark and candidate oriented posts.
Remember, you're sisters and will be after this primary is over. A while back I found myself looking for what I wanted to see in Hillary supporters. It wasn't the real them, it was my problem. I'm now able to see the real silliness on both sides and disregard it. I'm not saying your sister doesn't dislike the Clinton's more than she likes Obama. I'm just saying to open your mind to the possibility and to try and look at her from a different angle.
