I have ALWAYS failed to understand the frenzied intensity widely found among Clinton supporters (especially since she has nothing particularly different or earth-shaking to say; and since she has many negatives that have been in evidence for over a decade). So...it's difficult to know how (or why) to try to embrace such people, without understanding what has driven them into their frenzy...
It's called values and life experiences. They don't see the same big negatives you do in Clinton - but they see big negatives in Obama that we don't. We don't needs a big therapy session to accept that people are different. I have read some of the posters try to explain their feelings, but they are chased away from XX because their stories and experiences and feelings are discounted as just stupid or wrong. My god, have we become so arrogant that we think we know all that there is to know, that we are always right?
I have read some pretty awful words about these supporters written by Obama supporters in XX, other blogs and the MSM - her supporters must be extremely ignorant, stupid or racist to support her. Or they must be bitter old hags. Please, how is that constructive? I dont want someone to talk about my mother that way!
Do you agree with everyone in your life about everything? I sure don't, but I try to accept people and value them for who they are. Can't you just stop there?
The race is over, the bigger one is about to begin. Clinton supporters should be on our side, not on the sidelines. I never served in the military, but I can't believe that all soldiers like and understand each other. However, they still pull together and have each other's back.
And frankly some of the Obama worship I have read and seen just creeps me out and I am a fan of his.
