Because I think Obamakins is cute. Sort of like saying we're part of a big family (the "kin" of Obama"). I'm not that keen on "Obama Fan" because it's awkward sounding and sounds like a term for a movie star, not a politician. And let's face it "Obama Supporter" just sounds so stiff and stuffy.

Or am I missing something?
Oh man, I just loved Obmatons, that was great, reminded me of back when I was 6 or 7 watching Sat. morning cartoons.

It is the modus operandi of the desperate attempting to dehumanize their supporters through associative connotations with mindless bots or brain washed children. Sadly it can even be effective among other truly ignorant and stupid people of the warm Budweiser drinking crowd.

Being a Paul supporter, I have heard my share as well but I just chaulk it up to childish pin heads that never held a independent thought of their own. The advantage is that it usually also helps to self identify the truly moronic in case they aren't wearing the usual Walmart Tshirt that says, "I'm with stupid ~~~>" Notice that more often than not, there grasp of politics in general is usually at the same level.

Uh, it was a JOKE!

But since you are unable to laugh, I'd wager that I have attained a higher education level than many of the Obamaphiles. However, only the tacky and ignorant "degree-drop" and hold themselves superior because of it. The rest of us are merely grateful we had the opportunity.

Rather presumptive, and beneath you.

Right. I'm really tired of hearing how "educated" Upton and Friends are. They tell us how superior they are several times per day every day. Have you EVEN ONCE told them they were off-base? Oh, but I am since I actually responded to the crap, huh?

Typical.

We try to label you guys with class.

Us McCain supporters are often labeled by Obamakins as ignorant, hicks, stupid, poor, uneducated, rich, evil(thanks Kev K) what ever word Upton looks up for the day.

So why don't one of you get creative and label us with a cute classy name.

How about McCainiacs? McCainatrons? McCainabots? McCainistas?

It seems the most loved ones are McSame and McBush.

I actually like McCain so I would like to suggest: Johnnyonyonyyaya

Too long, ya think?

I believe us Hillary supporters who plan to vote for McCain could be called McSisters!

I think Stephen Colbert tried to get McDreamy going as a nickname.

I like McSame.
