"With Nomination Clinched, Obama Now Free To Be Horrifying Scumbag"

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

So, tell me Rheinhart, what are you HOPING for, if Obama wins?

I'll tell you metta, first and foremost I'm hoping that you'll eventually learn to properly spell my name if you must use it. It's not that hard. Otherwise use my screen name.

As for the matter of integrity vs. expediency, I don't see it that way. What do you gain if you run on ideals and lose sight of very important practical matters - such as majorities needed to effect a course correction. Your preferred candidate most certainly wouldn't meet your apparent integrity standards and yet, you had no problem supporting her. So tell me, why the different standards? Why set the bar higher for who you consider the lesser candidate? Isn't that an odd approach?

I supported Hillary for what she is, an effective and pragmatic politiican. It was Obama that made a big thing out of "politics as usual" claiming that Clinton offers politics as usual where as he, Obama was "''My belief is that the American people are looking for a fundamental break from the way we've been doing business.'''

Also, claiming in his "Blueprint for Change" to have" been able to develop innovative approaches to challenge the status quo and get results. "

So far, I have seen no evidence for his claims.

That's the point I am making.

Again, internal consistency...

If Obama doesn't consider pragmatic matters, then he would be exactly what camp Hillary portrayed him to be - an illusionist. So it turns out that he isn't. And now that's wrong too. I mean if you just seek fault in the candidate then you will most certainly find it. In any one of them. If you're surprised by that then I'd suggest that you've got a lot of growing up to do.

I am talking about the lack of consistency between Obama's claims and actions. So, I am the last person to be surprised by his flip flops. That's why I am not swayed by his pretty talk in the first place. I am raising issues here Dog but I see that you are putting your personality in full display by disparaging the messenger instead of addressing the message. If pointing out inconsistencies between Obama's words and action comes across as a sign of immaturity to you, I suggest that you consult a shrink to see if you are too infatuated with or fixated on your Messiah for your own mental well-being.

The very fact that you are taking it upon yourself to respond to every post that is not in favor of Obama shows some signs of fanaticism or perhaps obsessive compulsive disorder. Take a break and tend to your family first. On't worry, Obama is a big boy, and he can take care of himself. B)

You're not addressing issues. If you were, you wouldn't be referring to the candidate as the Messiah. I'm very well mentally. It's you I am worried about a bit.
