Obama is our nominee, McCain is the enemy, and Clinton is just noisy

[phrigndumass]

If you've ever watched an episode of the A&E series "Intervention," you might remember the interventionist suggesting to the family that whatever the addict says is just noise. Until the addict agrees to get help, anything the addict says to fight it just doesn't make any sense. Trying to argue with an addict is just enabling their point of view.

I'm tired of enabling the Clinton addicts here. Senator Clinton (read: the drug) has every right to continue running (read: fight it), but I refuse to listen because it doesn't make any sense.

Obama is our nominee.

McCain is the enemy.

Clinton is just noisy.

NGU!

(Thanks to SoonerPride for the OP title idea)

(on edit: change read: the addict to read: the drug)

1. I am tired of all the fucking BOTS

I wish they would all SHUT THE FUCK UP so we could have serious discussions without labeling candidates as some kind of ADDICTS

[UALRBSofL]

2. Wow, I'll bookmark this OP's thread. I have to keep up with bizarre things like this

that comes from the Obama camp. Just making my grocery list. Some of the good ones are redneck voters, uneducated voters, low income voters, and now addict voters.

[Skittles]

3. the juvenile garbage I see daily from both sides is absolutely nauseating

speculation Obama must have sold drugs to supplement his meager income, that Hillary voters are "addicts" - WTF IS WRONG WITH THIS PLACE? I am DISGUSTED.

4. You went from hawking pharma ads to "Legally Blonde"?

Bizarre, but whatever!

:hi:

[UALRBSofL]

16. What are you talking about hawking pharmacy adds?

No hawking from me. I use an Exelon Patch once a day. BTW, you missed my Reagan image earlier today. And of course I love Legally Blonde.

15. A bunch of morans, for sure

Ignore them.

5. I'm telling ya....

....the clintons are determined to get johnny elected....better to have johnny elected than some stinkin' outsider from the progressive-left of the Party....

....johnny gets the presidency, our corporate friends are happy and we continue to hold the Party by the balls....

....no need to turn a new page in American politics....

6. McCainspeak

[phrigndumass]

9. Wow, McCainspeak looks just like McBushspeak

:patriot:

11. THE EAGLE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT CONTRACEPTION.

7. You're welcome. I've taken to deleting any ranting Hillary posts.

I haven't the time to worry about her or her campaign.

It is over.

Obama is the nominee and McCain is the enemy.

Hell, Hillary is broke. She might survive until N Carolina and Indiana. But that's it.

I will no longer "let is sink" because that wasn't enough.

So I ignore it and the posters.

[phrigndumass]

8. Thanks! Good advice, and taken to heart.

:hi:

13. It's over but it ain't over ..

Yeah, it's like when your down 12 points at the end of a basketball game and your fouling the other team to stop the clock. Your pretty darn sure the game is over. But sometimes, your guys will hit their 3s and the other team will miss their free throws.

I think Hillary knows full well what position she is in. She also knows full well what she is doing to the parties position by "delaying " things. This is all about HER and her highest bidders. It's about the DLC retaining regaining control of the party. It's not about the people.

Hopefully, this will be over after Indiana. If not, the Superdelegates need to get off their hands and just decide things one way or another. This is stupid. McCain is such an easy mark and we're letting him slide by directing all our fire against one another.

10. What does NGU mean?

:shrug:

[phrigndumass]

12. Non-gonococcal urethritis ...

... or so I'm told, as far as I know. :D

(actually: Never Give Up)

[VolcanoJen]

17. Ahhhh, that's better

Because when I googled, I of course got "non-gonococcal urethritis."

Thanks, y'all! :-)

[Sinistrous]

14. I hope the OP was not referring to the medical condition

referred to by that acronym.

NGU: non-gonococcal urethritis

I would have a heck of a time making sense out of that in this context.

18. Lest we forget, an article from Slate on March 5:

Hillary Clinton is trying to make the story matter more than the numbers, and what she won Tuesday were some good talking points for her narrative. She's got to make the case to the roughly 300 undecided superdelegates that they should overlook Obama's advantage among pledged delegates. Her argument has two parts: Obama doesn't represent the Democratic Party, and he is a flawed general election candidate.

How is Obama a flawed Democrat? He can't win big states, her aides will argue. Clinton has now won Ohio, Texas*, New York, California, and New Jersey. Obama has only limited appeal, they will argue, whereas Clinton wins the kinds of Democrats necessary to win in big, electorally rich states. But it's not that simple. Obama won electorally crucial swing states such as Missouri, Colorado, and Wisconsin, and he's won all across the country, so his appeal isn't that limited.

Clinton aides will also return to the argument that she captures bread-and-butter blue-collar voters. In Ohio, Clinton won 56 percent to 43 percent among voters with no college education. She also dominated among union households, though Obama had several unions working for him. The economy was the No. 1 issue in both states. Democrats who believe paychecks, jobs, and health care will be the dominant issues in the fall might be convinced by her argument that she is the only one who can deliver them.

Here again, though, Clinton's case isn't airtight. Obama won among the working class in Wisconsin, and he also won working-class white men in Wisconsin, Missouri, and New Hampshire. In the last three weeks, Obama had been making inroads in Ohio with those lacking a college degree, narrowing Clinton's margin from 26 points to eight points. This suggests that while Clinton won blue-collar voters in the end, their vote was more up for grabs than the Clinton folks claim.

*However, Obama has officially won Texas, not Clinton

This is why it's just noise, imho.
