Did many Obama supporters miss the message of UNITY and coming together as AMERICANS?

Question

It seems that numerous people have chosen to let their old habits of spewing BS and vile comments contained within questions flow today! In fairness I listened to the speech's given at the DNC..and ya know..Michelle and Barrack sounded good..I even thought..."wow..maybe together..we can change things for the better,..end discrimination and abolish stereotypes, make the playing field even for everyone"..but after today, I see why I was skeptical in the first place. Even if Obamas intentions are well meant..its is blatantly obvious that it is many (not all..) of his own supporters that are the people ruining his campaign by their rude, childish and unwarranted comments.It doesn;t appear they want change at all..they only want to win..and thats just politics as usual. They will never convince anyone that change is possible..when they are not willing to step up and set the example..

Answer 1

Excellent point Keith!

Often it seems that a candidate's supporters are his/her own worse enemies.

What I find most interesting is that such blind devotion is for one whom the respondents don't even know! It's one thing for Jim Jones' followers to accept everything he said...in part because he said it TO THEM! Right to their face, called their names, held their hands, and made promises specific to their desires. This devotion by proxy is akin to a mental illness, an ertomania, a love beyond reason for someone whom they don't know and who doesn't know them.

Many many times on this forum I have asked Obama supporters, "provide ONE example of an actual platform that Obama has, why you agree with this platform, and how he plans to achieve the aim" and to date only one person, ONE has ever responded with anything other than hate, racist rants, or "because he wants change" and that poster, while concise in her opinion and thought process was wrong in her math.

The sad thing to me is that while politics have always been a bare knuckles sport, it has in the past been people in "the know" against people in "the know" so debates (even very nasty ones) could be fought out on principles and with actual information. The vast majority of the Obama supporters (at least in this forum) don't know anything about their Jim Jones, only that he claims to love them all.....

Answer 2

Well said. I'm tired of all the hateful remarks from Obama supporters.

Answer 3

Did John McCain miss the message of young and inexperienced?  

Answer 4

you really can't base your opinionon about his supporters from an online forum, u just never know who is really for him or who is just trying to bring him down by being dumb....

Answer 5

Take heart that it's not the majority. As an Obama supporter, I want people who supported Hillary to be just as happy as I am. We'll work together for our mutual benefit.
