BlueHampshire put it bluntly today: Political Parties Are not Sports Teams. But it's exactly how many Americans seem to treat politics, and exactly why American politics will remain fucked up for some time.

Cue the Angry Hillary Lady. Or any number of Hillary supporters (over a quarter) who are threatening to vote for McCain instead of Obama. Just what do these people actually believe in? Winning for their team, or electing a better leader for a better country in line with important values?

Seriously. You're female liberal has been defeated, so you will really vote for a white conservative man instead of a black liberal man? If so, you don't give a fuck about the country, and your vote only damages your country; FOAD.

Someone should start a series of polls to judge just how fucked in the head these people are. For former Hillary supporters, ask:

  • Obama or John McCain?
  • Obama or David Duke?
  • Obama or Ted Kaczynski?
  • Obama or Saddam Hussein?
  • Obama or an old dirty sneaker?

"Obama or Osama?"

Perhaps these are the same people Rush Limbaugh prompted to jump the fence to vote for Clinton in various open primaries. In that case, they belong in the McClone camp in the first place.

I have a feeling there are a great many more conservatives we will gain from running Obama over Clinton the "Liberals" we'll lose from doing the same. There are more Republicans for Obama than there are Liberals for McCain, and the former have been around longer.

I mean, seriously, look at the simplistic video pablum the hcsfjm people are pushing from their front page now.

I also suspect that these weirdoes are a small enough minority that their noise will blow over. Even if it doesn't, If only John McCain's lack of policies will do for them, there's no way to please them and much larger, more sober majorities who believe that any politician can "keep them safe".
