I really don't care what problems you have with Obama, most people here should know by now that I'm not a fan of his myself, for various different reasons. However, that is not what is important, what's important is that McCain will be infinitely worse than Obama, bar none. This isn't a party loyalty thing, but more a common sense thing, I loathe the Democratic Party, and most of the candidates they field year after year, but I loathe the Republicans more, so I vote for the people with (D) after their names.

I don't care if you are a Democrat, Independent, disaffected Republican, whatever, if you can't bring yourself to vote for the Dem Nominee on Election day, then think of voting against McCain instead, just try to find a way to keep that old fart out of the White House. We don't need to have Republicans still fucking up the Executive branch for another 4 years.

I'm going to work now, see ya this afternoon!

2. "I loathe the Republicans more."
Now that's a bandwagon we can all get on!

4. Exactly!

If we don't vote AGAINST McCain, this country may not be worth living in!
Use any reason that works, but vote for the Dem nominee.
And hey Obama supporters... the same goes if somehow Clinton takes the nomination!
We had all better vote for the Dem nominee... PERIOD!

9. We need time... as a party.. to get sorted out...
all of these angry cries of "I'm not voting for that candidate!"
well.... the passion will subside, and come fall, we WILL be together.

The threats of anger will become objective when the reality of
what will occur set in.

We might be fussing and feuding now, but we're not stupid.

As I said before: no matter what has happened these past months,
all of us will be adult about the result.

We need to thank all of our candidates who allowed us to dream,
to see into the future, and even to tussle.

And move into the future we need for our country.
