Getting Past Election Anger (democratic, Republican, CNN, Bush)

I certainly wouldn't compromise all that just because of ill feelings, or because I just wanted to block someone, or for other "issues."

I would have voted for Hillary too if she had won but now I probably won't. In fact I may not even vote for Obama if he sticks her in the number 2 spot simply because of the way that she, her husband and her followers have acted over the past 2 months. These people have no dignity at all. And when 20% say they don't like Obama because he is black and when she says crap like "the white hard working people", I just want to vomit!

And those two states' ecomony [combined] is probably nowhere close to that of NC or VA, for instance. That is my point.

They all have a few things in common- few teeth and even fewer high school diplomas!

So do us all a favour- go buy some snuff and a six pack and shut the hell up!

I'd vote for Obama if he were black and had some kind of leadership experience.

I'd vote for Obama if he were white and had some kind of leadership experience.

The problem isn't the color of your brand -- the problem is what it's made of.

Nope, no sense in getting upset, we have no say anyway it appears the delegates do, so why do we bother to vote anyway.

I just get disgusted with the news people and their BS

The Demo's had to vote for the best person to beat McCain, thats the way it goes, I just don't think Obama will do it.

I'll vote Demo regardless come November.

Curious that a topic about getting over election anger ends up being a discussion between the nuanced differences between the variances of Appalachian vs Southern rednecks, peckerwoods, hillbillies, road kill, dental hygiene, and oh, daddy get off me your crushing my cigs... by the highly sophisticated civilized folks from humbleville...

When you are all finished with your dissertation on lack of education and economic opportunities of Appalachia, lets get back to the topic of:

The Obama supporters have a serious problem with ADHD. I think Obama and Hillary have some work to do. I think their idiot supporters are the ones with the problem not the candidates themselves. So much for the candidates represnting their voters. Thank God that at least on this forum that is not the case. I don't support either for President but I like them both much more than their supporters here.

Thought you knew we were getting paid by the candidates to make our statements. So blame the candidates. Or blame us for selling out and collecting the $.

As an Obama supporter from jump, anger has been the furthest from my mind as I have enjoyed the superiority that comes with being among the most enlightened in supporting a far superior candidate. It feels good to be RIGHT!

Reading some of the thread topics, it's obvious that the Hillary supporters need to get some serious help with their anger and frustration. Hard supporting a far inferior candidate and being among those who are supporting a LOSER. Very stressful being desperate too.

I am starting to get angry at Hillary and her supporters. Are these people actually STUPID enough to think she "cares" about them? That she "feels their pain"?? Like they think she is Norma Ray or something! A woman who won't tip a waitress and who treats those under her with contempt.

You need to take at look at your own posts, buddy. Pot meet kettle? The disdain you show for those voters "under you" (at least those you percieve to be under you) is truly breathtaking.
