Angry White American Woman for Obama, and you?

[Leftist Agitator]

Let's hear your stories, my fellow, um, what shall we call ourselves this evening... Oooh! How about "Proud Obamatrons"?

Though I'm fairly sure that some Hillary supporters would prefer "Obamites", fuck it.

We're taking it back!

:rofl:

[ShortnFiery]

1. Angry Middle-Aged (49 y.o.) White American Woman for Obama

BTW don't miss "The Obamas" (Both Barack and Michelle) on KO tomorrow night.

Be there, Aloha! :-)

[Leftist Agitator]

4. Well, I don't have TV, but...

Aloha to you too!

:hi:

And it's nice to see that a fellow woman right in Her Royal Clintonness' so-called "key" demographic didn't buy into her bullshit.

I don't count, according to Hillary, because I'm too young. Go figure...

:shrug:

[ShortnFiery]

30. Oh you count alright, it was our teenage daughter who convinced both ...

my husband and I to take a GOOD LOOK at Obama. My husband was a very loyal Bill Clinton supporter throughout the 90s, but he even changed his mind to Obama before our Primary in Virginia.

We need to FOCUS MORE on "Young Americans" (teens, twenties and thirties) because any parent worth their salt, should strive to leave The World "a better place" for their children.

Thanks for the kind thoughts. :hi:

[mcctatas]

2. I'm not angry...

I'm bitter, can I still join? OMG In your OP, I read "Obamites" Obamatities"....I was thinking which one of them said such a sexist thing...

Any way, may I propose "OBAMAZONS" in honor of those proud warrior women>
:toast:

[Leftist Agitator]

7. "Any way, may I propose "OBAMAZONS" in honor of those proud warrior women?"

Sure, as long as I gain title to, you ready for this?

"Obamalamadingdongs"

By far, my favorite anti-Obama slur. BY FAR.

:rofl:

[mcctatas]

11. "Obamalamadingdongs"...

:spray: If a hillbot called me that I would probably lose the appropriate amount of outrage required for dealing with some of thier more rabid posters! Credit where credit is due, that is pretty funnY :rofl:

[Leftist Agitator]

22. Hey, not mine, but totally hilarious...

Or should I say "Hillarious"?

Anyway, if you're in the mood for some laughs, go to as Bush immemorially said "the Google", and search either "ObamaLamadingdongs" or "ObamaRamadingdongs", and chortle incessantly.

:)

[mcctatas]

31. thanks for the tip...

lately, DU is better than cardio, so I will use "the Google" when I need a cooling down routine!
:toast:

[americanstranger]

3. Punk geezer for Barack!

DLC, bite me!

- as

[Hepburn]

64. LMBO!

PUNK GEEZER!?!?!?! :rofl:

[Triana]

5. bitter 48-year old white woman here for obama

would have been nice to support Hillary. I wanted to, but couldn't with all the dirty, illegal, divisive, Rovian, Republican shit she's pulled - I mean EVERY trick in the Repig playbook. UNimpressive.

NO thanks.

[mystieus]

6. Hurricane Dean… Yeaowwww!

[Double T]

8. 'obamanationites'

ALL women should be voting for HRC. What about some damn support for your OWN gender!!!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. This is not about gender, sorry...

This is about issues and other substantive things...

Gender has nothing to do with it.

[Double T]

14. You're right. Women's issues don't matter. Just keep letting the good ol' boys.......

make the decisions for YOU!!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

25. Nope, that's not the point either...

Women's issues do matter. I don't want the good ol' boys making the decisions for me any more than I want the women doing that.

I want my elected representatives, and the president for that matter, to listen to me. Their gender has nothing to do with how well they listen.

That's all.

[Leftist Agitator]

32. "Their gender has nothing to do with how well they listen."

Precisely.

:hi:

[eridani]

41. Geez, I'd SO much have a good ol' girl obliterate Iran on my behalf

Not.

[gmudem]

49. So I guess you would vote for Kay Bailey Hutchinson?

And Elizabeth Dole?

[Leftist Agitator]

12. Yeah, I know!!!

This vagina, which has been NOTHING but trouble from age 12 on, should TOTALLY dictate who I support.

:)

Call me crazy, but this on-again, off-again ardent feminist will go for the candidate who at least isn't so upfront and in-your-face about his ambition, and is pleasantly lacking in hubris, unlike his opponent.

Oh, and that same guy seems to embrace the principles of the Democratic party much more than his female opponent, and most importantly, not reach out to the lowest common denominator while doing so.

I must be a "gender traitor", right?

:rofl:

For that mythical, non-existent undecided, I say: Vote Barack Obama throughout 2008.

:toast:

[Double T]

15. The good ol' boys will continue to provide YOU with THEIR CHOICES.........

on YOUR issues.

[Leftist Agitator]

19. Is that so?

Please, enlighten me as to what "My Issues" are.

This should be entertaining.

:rofl:

[barack the house]

51. I doubt that tactic will work now, a better future has greater relevance to peoples lives.

I am very happy to see a woman vp, but clearly here on this thread folks recongise too much is on the line to risk further war for the wrong candidate.

[Hepburn]

67. Frankly, I would rather have....

...Russ Feingold than Kay Bailey Hutchinson make decisions for me.

And you?

[mcctatas]

13. So by that logic if this bastion of womanhood were running

“God hates the sordid, tacky, bucket of slime, seasoned with vomit, known as Brokeback Mountain, and He hates all the persons having anything to do with it.” (shirley phelps-roper) I should give her my vote because she happens to have a vagina? What is wrong with you? :wtf:

[Double T]

18. Who was even talking about vagina?? What the HELL has happened to modern women?

Just keep letting the GUYS make ALL of your decisions; their track record on supporting women's issues is lousy at BEST!!

[mcctatas]

21. Ummmmm...

well, that is one of the qualifications for being considered a woman, and since I should support Hillary because she's a woman, I kinda figured the whole vagina thing was one of the reasons :crazy:

You offered no other reason for supporting Hillary than that she is a woman (therefor, the owner of a vagina), so I figured, if that was your key requirement in a candidate, why not shirley phelps roper?

[eridani]

42. Sorry, I don't want Condi Rice or Clinton making decisions for me

--and for exactly the same reason.

[barack the house]

53. Barack has not for one instant portrayed himself as sesist. Barack clearly doens't stand for

feamle oppression. This the the Democrat party that isn't what our party is renowned for.

[Hepburn]

68. Oh, yes....

...someone like Jean Schmidt, Rep from Ohio, is who I really, really want to have input for me on women's issues. So much better than someone like Barney Frank, right? As a woman, I was soooooooo fucking proud to have her get up on the floor of the US Congress and basically call Jack Murtha a traitor.

Hint: Could you be any more full of shit?



MEAN JEAN ~~ the Go-to-Gal on Women's Issues...:puke:

[Leftist Agitator]

17. "What about some damn support for your OWN gender!!!"

What about it?

I must admit, I didn't bother to check your profile. But from the strident rhetoric, I assume that you're a woman too?

If so, why do you consider me a "gender traitor", which you obviously do? Hell, even if you're a man, please explain your rationale.

I'll be waiting...

[Double T]

23. It is a lost cause. Nothing else needs to be said.

[Leftist Agitator]

24. Ducking out of an exchange of ideas, eh?

I wouldn't have expected such relative cowardice from such a relative long-time DUer.

How very disappointing.

Care to address my points, or is avoidance the "word-du-jour"?

:shrug:

[Double T]

33. Might as well go.............

:banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

I have been supporting and hanging around with too many longtime hardcore N.O.W. members; rehabilitation is NOW in order.

[alphafemale]

52. I wasn't voting for Elizabeth Dole either. I don't vote in terms of indoor/outdoor plumbing.

Betraying my gender. Puh-lease.

[Hepburn]

65. Yeah, right...and then all MEN should support Obama or McGrandpa.

Is that how it works? Ummmmmm...no.

[TheDoorbellRang]

66. Feminism is about justice, not revenge

Feminism is about being judged on one's own merits, not getting even with the old boy's network by starting an old girl's network.

Sorry you missed that day in feminist school.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

73. I'm bookmarking this.

From now on, I don't want to hear you say a damn thing about AAs voting for Obama.

In fact, I don't want to hear you argue about Hillary's policies, either, since you're only concerned with her gender.

[Mz Pip]

9. Guess I fit the bill.

I'm older (59) and I am ready to turn this country over to the next generation. They have so much more at stake than I do anymore. It's time for us Boomers to give the next generation the chance to do right by America.

Maybe I'm an Obama-oldie.

[sandnsea]

16. Fed Up At Fifty

Yep, me too. Things can't stay the way they are. We can't keep playing these same games and think we're going to solve huge problems. We owe our grandchildren better than false promises and phony economic schemes.

[DesertFlower]

20. i'm an angry 66 year old white woman.

i want change. i'm tired of the special interests running washington.

[Daphne08]

26. Disgusted 59-year-old white female for Obama!

I want my country back for the sake of my sons. McCain scares me, and I'm fed up with Hillary.

[Leftist Agitator]

28. "McCain scares me, and I'm fed up with Hillary."

Yup.

:hi:

Barack Obama in '08!

[palindrome]

27. Not Angry compromising 28 year old White Male

for Clinton, but will vote for the Democrat.

Let's hear it for not John McCain 08!

[shifting_sands]

29. Count me in

I am 65 and after this many years of activism I agree with the person above me, time to turn this fight over to the next generation and we should hang our head in shame for the mess we left it in for them. I wanted to vote for a woman, after all I am an old feminist, but all I can see is Hillary giving women a really bad name and is an embarrassment, ruining women's chances for decades. I am VP in an organization that represents thousands of educated, corporate women leaders and they are moving away from Hillary like flies. They don't see her standing up for women, she hasn't in the Senate, why would she now, because she says so? I don't think that's good enough. She also said on four different occasions that she was running from sniper fire in Bosnia, that wasn't true either.

I know what it's like to be sixty and the young faces and new ideas begin to rise to the top and it's sad to watch the older men and women hang on refusing to let go of a time that's passed them by. They don't know how to lean back and mentor the new person up the ladder, they don't know how to step off stage, they simply become a pitiful caricature of themselves. I watch Hillary with her fantastic make up artist, the bright suits to brighten up her face, the scarves to hide her neck, the heightened color in her hair and I feel sad for her because I know she has to work so much harder to make a positive effect.

Sure she knows her history and the facts around them, at her age she lived them, what she doesn't have is new fresh ideas. I don't know where Obama plans to lead us, he may be just terrible and we will regret voting for him; but I look at the rapidly growing wasteland behind us and the Clinton's were a big part in creating that wasteland.

If she could just admit that she can be an important voice for the next generation, but she isn't the next generation, not in heart or mind, she is steeped in the past and she keeps telling us that. I look back at the United States and the rest of the world and I know we have to go forward, we cannot go back, Obama and the new generation seemingly are trying to take us forward and I am walking in that direction

[Leftist Agitator]

34. We Obamatrons sure are a diverse bunch, huh?

Old men, young women... I mean who the hell do we upstarts think that we are?

:rofl:

[Jed Dilligan]

35. The Clintons represent to me the self-indulgent side

of your generation, the ones who did activism when it was fashionable, switched over to yuppiedom when the time came, and always put their own wealth, security, and pleasure ahead of all else, and think they're never going to die.

You and my parents aren't that way, but unfortunately, many of the Boomers (especially those a few years younger than you) are.

[shifting_sands]

37. Right

I absolutely agree with your comments. Fighting for Black Civil Rights came way before the anti war protests. Civil Rights protests started in the late 50 and early 60's and I started there, as a white person standing up for those rights and then we just rolled on into the anti-war protests, the Clintons would have joined in then when it was the thing a couple of liberal hippies would have done.

[Jed Dilligan]

38. What has really sucked for me

is trying to build a career with one after another of those types as my bosses and supposed mentors.

[Asgaya Dihi]

39. Too bad we can't rec a reply

That was a pretty good one.

I've never been the fan club type and I'm still not, I like Obama well enough but I see plenty of faults too. Main thing I hope for from him is maybe a step up in the tone of debate, more issue and less soundbite. A step in the right direction maybe but I'm not expecting miracles.

In the end he'd have been my choice by default because of the Clinton history and the way she ran her campaign. I could have easily overlooked some of the choices her husband made if she made it clear she was something totally different but instead she seemed to become more and more entrenched in the politics of the 90's and ran as if Obama was the dem and she the repub. Doesn't offer me much reason to hope she'll act more like she should if rewarded for it so I'd support Obama to keep her out if for no other reason than to not reinforce the idea that dems should act like that. I don't want to see her in any way rewarded for this campaign.

[Hepburn]

69. Woot!

This nearly 60-year-old, white, well-educated, professional and now retired female says, "Fucking-A" to this post!

:applause:

[virgdem]

36. Angry, disgusted and POed

56 year old white woman for Obama. And quite proud of it too. Oh, and did I mention bitter as well?

[barack the house]

54. Nothing wrong with a bit of bitter.. =)

[virgdem]

70. Agreed..

Let's hope that a bit of bitter moves this country off its collective dead arse and to the polls to help us defeat McBush and company.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

40. 24 Year Old Latino Hispanic Latina

One thing that really really pisses me off. I understand that it is the rules, I don't want them changed this election, etc. That doesn't make me any less angry that I'm told as a.) a younger voter and b.) a minority that I should vote, get involved, etc. and then the super delegates come along and say "Well, thanks for voting...but you voted for the wrong guy. Don't worry though. We'll fix it for you. Maybe you'll get it right next time."

[eridani]

43. Angry 61 year old woman loathing imperialism

Since we can't seem to get a populist or anti-imperialist presidential candidate past the MSM, it will have to be Obama, who at least wants smart wars. If waged for imperial domination, just as bad morally, but in practice fewer people get killed.

Also, he can organize. He wants people to get involved, has succeeded in getting many more new people involved, and always says that he won't be able to get anything done alone.

[pansypoo53219]

44. 41 white single woman 4 obama.

i have never been SINGLE ISSUE and that includes vaginas.
while i was satisfied under clinton, i was only on his side to win and found him a tad to middle, so SO, i reeeeealy don't like hillary's DLC DC CORPORATE leanings. my vagina doesn't like the DLC.

[Raine]

45. Same here and in addition

I'm also middle aged (verging on old...57) so I guess I should be (according to stats) for Hillary. I'm a PROUD Obama supporter!!! :bounce:

[barack the house]

46. We welcome all the angry ladies to our fold, set up camp feel at home.

[donheld]

47. Angry White Gay American for Obama!

[ccharles000]

48. Young, sensitive, gay male

Hillary all the way.

[hokies4ever]

59. Hillary voted for the Defense of Marriage Act

[Leftist Agitator]

62. Indeed.

And it was the mythical "co-presidency" that wouldn't take a stand for what's right, and blessed the LGBT community with "Don't Ask Don't Tell".

[alphafemale]

50. I'll be 44 in Sept. Voting for Obama to be #44 in November.

I'm not just angry. I'm not just bitter. I'm fucking pissed.

[ms liberty]

55. Angry, white, middle aged southern woman for Obama here! n/t

[myrna minx]

56. Exhausted mid-thirties white woman for Obama.

[FlaGranny]

57. This 68-year-old woman

is for Obama all the way. I'm a bit bitter, but more angry than bitter. This country needs new ideas and a new way of running things. I'm tired of the "ugly American" stereotype. I want a country that can solve problems and make the world a better place - not safer with the use of or threat of force - I want it safer because it is better. It don't want my grandchildren to be sent off to fight in wars. I want a president who listens and one with judgment. That is Obama.

[OhioChick]

58. Another Angry White Woman for Obama. n/t

[DemsUnited]

60. Another "demographically Hillary's base" but still supporting Obama

My bet is that once Obama is the nominee and his campaign starts to focus on McCain's terrible stances on all kinds of women's issues (not mention his frightening foreign policies and clueless domestic ones), my demographic will rally around Obama real fast.

[Vinca]

61. Every time someone brings up the typical Obama voter,

I feel younger, smarter and wealthier. Another Hillary-demographic woman for Obama!

[Hepburn]

63. Done with DINOs, elderly, straight, white female....

...I support Obama! I am an Obama Momma! :hi:

[cyndensco]

71. 47 year old black and proud woman here

PROUDER 'cause of Obama!!!

[redqueen]

72. Angry, middle aged Latina for Obama.

Voted straight-ticket all my life... supported Kucinich in 04... Kucinich then Edwards then Obama this time around.

I've about had it with the "us too but not as much" party.

[TragedyandHope]

74. Angry former Clinton Supporter for Obama

[Lucky 13]

75. Angry White 30+ Gay Woman for Obama

I actually like the term Obamatron. Kind of sounds like a robot. I like robots.

And 9 out of 10 robots agree. Hillary Clinton can bite my shiny metal ass.
