ENOUGH of this insanity! DO YOU, or DO YOU NOT support President Obama?

[Maru Kitteh]

Poll question: ENOUGH of this insanity! DO YOU, or DO YOU NOT support President Obama?

I'm not talking about EVERY decision. I'm not saying "in perpetuity" for the REST OF YOUR LIFE or anything like that.


I'm saying, in general.

OK?

[moriah]

1. Just a bit of a push poll, wouldn't you say?

[Maru Kitteh]

3. Call me Zogby and paint me in flattering colors.

[moriah]

34. I prefer blue and green.

They go pretty well with my hair.

*gets out paintball gun*

[Why Syzygy]

5. No shit. nt

[silverojo]

53. Apparently you skipped the last three options

No "push polling" here, if you just read carefully.

[moriah]

57. That was posted before it was edited, thank you....

.... and I voted for the first option.

Oh, and an edit here: The last two options did not exist when it was first posted, and the fourth option down said something about "wanting to hate him" or something very similar, that one was changed from when I posted my comment.

[flvegan]

2. I support him, but not some of his decisions.

I expect this trend of mine to continue.

[AlCzervik]

4. yup.

[Lorien]

8. Seconded.

and no, I won't vote in any push polls.

[Maru Kitteh]

11. exactly.

same here.

It's the throwing aside of the 8 potential years of a a great Democratic Presidency because Obama is not marching in perfect rhythm to the tune inn MY head that I find ridiculous.

[Lorien]

18. Obama knows the tune in your head?

really? He must be omnipotent!

[No Elephants]

20. Exactly? I would never have guessed that from the way that your poll

reads.

Yeah, I heard Obama say he'd reach out, but there is a world of difference between honoring someone on Inauguration Day who spews hate and bigotry and trying to reach compromises with people throughout a Presidency.

Barney Frank has it exactly right. Meaning, of course, I agree with him entirely. (What else does that ever mean on a message board, LOL?) Many here don't get it as Frank does, though. Pity.

As far as throwing away 8 years, that is impossible. The most anyone here can do is not vote for him next time--four years, not 8. And who knows what will happen between now and 2012? Maybe people will cool down. Maybe he'll pull a Johnson and decide not to run. Who knows? Silly to worry about that today. Talk about borrowing trouble.

[racaulk]

6. Holy Push Poll, Batman!

[GOPisEvil]

7. I'm supportive in general, but I think the Warren decision is wrong.

I don't have to walk in lock-step with the man to be supportive.

I will not agree with ANY politician 100% of the time.

[Lorien]

13. Historically, those who never question their leaders

bring misfortune to everyone around them.

[GOPisEvil]

14. I would start to become afraid if I agreed with any politician 100%.

I'd start to wonder if I was being pandered to.

[Lorien]

15. Or even brainwashed! nt

[GOPisEvil]

19. Yikes! True!

:scared:

[rug]

9. Decisions, decisions.

[1awake]

10. support him in reference to what?

I do not follow blindly so I need more specifics please.

[Cleita]

12. I don't know. I will wait until he is actually President.

Right now our present President is finishing off his term of destroying everything we have like he's on steroids toward the bitter end. I'm more interested in stopping him if we can.

[Solon]

16. What the hell is this, a Fox News Poll?

Seriously, where the option for I support Obama but hate his decision on Warren?

[Divine Discontent]

54. it's a sarcastic 'poll' clearly not meant to have fair reasoning - saying you are upset about Warren

immediately has to peg you as anti-Obama.

[Solon]

56. Yeah, I know...

Frankly, I'm not "Pro-Obama" or "Anti-Obama" more like, I know he's a politician, and a little bit of an asshole, but dammit, he's our asshole, and its our job to put a Bunsen burner up to his feet to make sure he does things our way.

[JohnnieGordon]

17. Childish push poll

[Maru Kitteh]

21. Than Johnie boy, I updated it just for you.

[JohnnieGordon]

28. Still designed to make any opposition look unreasonable

I only voted for him because he was the last Democrat standing. I always expected he'd be a centrist, and I don't like centrists. Of course he hasn't taken office yet, but let's assume that I'm right and he'll be a centrist president. That means I won't like him. So if I don't like him do I support him? He's not McCain, that's all I support.

[Maru Kitteh]

35. You'll feel all warm inside because i incuded you.

I made an option for "the last Democrat standing."

[JohnnieGordon]

36. Thanks, you did make the poll work..nt

[Maru Kitteh]

39. THat's not really up to me.

[JohnnieGordon]

38. I'm also a vegetarian and care a lot about animal abuse, btw..nt

[Maru Kitteh]

41. Totally off topic - but the flesh consumption model is not sustainable

by the planet.

Period. It's just not there. I completely agree.

[David Zephyr]

22. Push poll or just bullying?

What a joke.

[racaulk]

25. Yes, and yes.

[sampsonblk]

23. Yes, but your poll is pretty lame

I agree with you point, but you could at least have legitimate choices in your poll.

[Maru Kitteh]

26. what would you like to see? I may still have time.

[sampsonblk]

52. Like to see something like this

1. yes, and I agree with most of what he's done so far

2. Yes, though I disagree with some of what he's done so far

3 No, though I agree with some of what he's done so far

4. No, and I don't agree with most of what he's done so far

[Solon]

33. Holy shit man, long time no see, changed your position on DADT yet?

Just asking.

[last_texas_dem]

24. I voted for him

That doesn't mean I "supported" everything he advocated. I'll continue to support him when I think he's doing right, and oppose him when I think he's doing something wrong, as (I assume) most people who aren't zealots will.

[Maru Kitteh]

30. I didn't support everything he advocated either! I VOTED FOR HILLARY

in the primaries.

I just thought she had better creds but the very MOMENT he got the nom - I was TOTALLY behind him.


Even being "behind" him doesnt' mean I don't keep the radar up.

[Mojambo]

27. My support is on a case by case basis. n/t

[noamnety]

29. Flame bait. (nt)

[xchrom]

31. do you support the issues concrning lgbtiq people -- or only

your small pool of unrequited love for obmama?

[stillcool]

45. unrequited love?

is it either Obama or the gay community for now and forever more?

[AntiFascist]

32. Enough of your insanity...

he's no longer running for president, so we can agree with him on some issues and disagree on others.

[MadHound]

37. You're either for us or against us!

Hmmm, where have I heard that sort of binary thought process before? Oh, yeah, the Bush administration.

[mondo joe]

40. I support principles. If Obama adheres to them, I support him. NT

[PresidentObama]

42. If you vote no, you should be banned. Period n/t

[Maru Kitteh]

44. I could be against one administatrion and be a great fighter for the party

So why couldn't I vote no IF I were HONEST?


Votes are votes. Respect is a different thing. THAT is what we have lost. RESPECT.

[jonnyblitz]

51. ooooooh, you're scaring me now!!111

:scared: :eyes:

[pecwae]

59. Then a 'no' vote

on supporting gay marriage should have resulted in a ban, period.

[bigwillq]

63. Why?

:shrug:

Can we no longer have an opinion? :shrug:

I guess DU really is a cult now.

[thewiseguy]

43. So this is not a flamebait but the poll question on gay marriage is?

[LostinVA]

61. Yes -- it must be Bizarro LOgic Day

[grantcart]

46. Big supporter, big fuck up

still a great man

[stillcool]

47. Jeezus frigging chriss...

This place is insane. If you support the what is he? ah..President-elect Obama then you support taking away rights (in California), bigotry, pro-lifers, Dominionism, something about Syria, something about an AIDS foundation in Africa, um...gosh..I know there's more....

[LatteLibertine]

48. Slanted and loaded poll

No thanks.

Oh yeah, and Rick Warren is still a terrible choice. Won't let "unrepentant" gays join his church. Check. Has programs designed to "cure" gays of being homosexual. Check. Equates gay people with child molesters and pedophiles. Check.

We aren't talking "differing view points" here. We're talking actively discriminating against gay folks, slandering them and spreading misinformation. Suggesting they can be cured, or need to be cured, is simply wrong on more levels than one.

[jgraz]

49. Loyalty oath, much?

:eyes:

[earth mom]

50. A poll like this is nothing but a loyalty oath & will get people TSed for answering honestly. nt

[pecwae]

64. I answered honestly.

When I can't sign on I'll know why.

[lamp_shade]

55. Done

[WeDidIt]

58. I WOULD retract my primary vote

but not my GE vote.

[Splinter Cell]

60. Yes

100%

[Marrah_G]

62. What a rediculous push poll
