Do Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton supporters realize that the Presidential Election isn't American Idol?

Question

I figured I should clarify that I support Ron Paul, the only anti-war Republican and that I used to be a Democrat until I realized that Ron Paul and other libertarians are actually right about the issues. I definitely don't support any of the jokers Ron Paul is running against for the nomination.

Answer 1

Yes, we do understand that. The real question is do GOP loyalists realize that politics is not a football game and that people who disagree with you are not an opposing team to boo and try to beat but other Americans who are just as patriotic but see things in a different light? That the point is not to yell and call names, but to try and learn from each other and build consensus so we can move forward as a nation?

Answer 2

Obama raised his money almost entirely from supporters alone: both times. That should tell you how many people genuinely support him: most gave what little they could: even only $5. At last count he had 250,000 people who donated to the campaign.

He is for an American government by and for the people: rather than big money politics. He also taught Constitutional Law.

There is a reason why so many people like him and so many are going to great lengths to try and turn people against him (i.e. the fake "Obama is a Muslim" email being passed around): check it our for yourself.


Read his book "The Audacity of Hope"-even if you don't plan on voting for him it gives you great insight to his character and just how much in touch he is with regular Americans wants and needs. And he has some really great ideas.

He is also the only candidate so far to make his tax records public so that we can see where his money comes from.

He believes in making the government more visible to the average American, for example: by posting bills online 72 hours before they will be voted upon, and making it public knowledge which politicians take money from lobbyists to vote for certain things that may/may not be in the publics best interest.


Hillary's money has come from big donations from corporations, lobbyists and PACs: she will have to vote for and implement things those groups want as a way of paying them back for their support.

Answer 3

it actual relies upon on in the event that they're Democrats at coronary heart or Clinton supporters at coronary heart. the actual Democrats will unite, even however they might have favored Clinton, Obama have been given the prize. To the die-annoying supporters of Clinton, they are going to do in spite of they are in a position to to sabotage Obama to the element that McCain might have a gamble at triumphing, understanding that his 4 years won't be that great. they think that it's going to create the void in 2012 for the Democrats to modern Clinton. regrettably, if Obama loses and his supporters experience that her supporter betrayed them and the occasion, they might return the want in 2012. regrettably, many human beings don't be concerned to look on the huge photograph. quite, they think of of their own goals and desires, and to hell with something. I say, vote the way you want to while you're a Clinton supporter, yet remember that balloting for Obama is heavily extra useful than carrying on the failed rules of the failed Bush administration during the artwork of John McCain. opt for properly.

Answer 4

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

SPEAK OUR VOICE WHILE WE STILL CAN!!!

Answer 5

No they do not; go to You Tube or watch Hillary's little Soprano Commercial. My opipion is Ron Paul is the only suitable candidite for both parties. For anyone who is an American citizen who wants to taste what Freedom is like. Like the Freedom our forefathers had planned for our country. Just read Ron Paul's speeches to the speaker of the house and you will realize that this is the America that should be searched out. All I can say is our country is going down a slippery slope to losing our soveriegnty already, yet out of the darkness Ron Paul has decided to run for President I only hope and pray and beg to everyone that he gets elected into office.

Answer 6

People today don't care or know how a candidate stands on an issue. They vote on the basis of who is popular with their friends, how they look, dress, and now their gender and race. There are voters out there you say they are voting Hilary JUST because she's a woman and some who are voting Obama JUST because he's black. Our next President may be elected because people are worried about being PC. That is a pity.

Answer 7

That's right, the election isn't American Idol. If it were President Bush and Cheney would have been voted off last week. With 46% of American's in favor of impeaching Bush, and 55% in favor of impeaching Cheney, for the blantant disregard of the American Constitution.

I have to go now, there are two people in black suits at my front door.

Answer 8

BINGO for a Great Question.

But watch out they might end up on 'Dancing with the Stars.'

Better still, with Donald Trump, "You're Fired."

Answer 9

If the supporters have no realization why would they be contributing and turning out in their rallies.
The system in USA is like that and they are simpily following it as others have done before them

Answer 10
