Obama supporters are all washed up wannabe hippies.

Funny, I was just about to say the same thing the other way around.



But in my case, I can prove it.



McCain accuse Obama of getting good press, which is not true. I say it is not true because someone actually studied and found that although Obama got more press, 3/4 was negative and only 1/4 was positive. You can look it up.



McCain accuses Obama of bad judgment on Iraq, when the list of McCain errors in Iraq is atrocious. He bought that Saddam had WMD, that there were ties to Al Queda, that the war would pay for itself, that we would be welcomed as liberators, that it would be over fast etc...



McCain accuses Obama as 'Elistist', even though it is McCain who is married to the heiress and part of the corporate elite that run the country. Obama is highly educated and liberal, but it is nonsense to define that as 'elite'.



I could go on, but this should suffice for the time being. Note that I have given examples to prove a point, something McCain-ites should try doing once in a while.

Why do McCain supporters do it?







Because both are correct. These candidates are a lot more similar than most people realize. The only real places they differ are in war and in taxes.



And both have justification for their side in the war stances, and both are wrong on how to handle finances.



They should combine their plans on finances. Raise taxes AND cut spending; then move as much of the revenue as possible to paying off the National Debt so that the dollar regains value.



Heck, just today, the price of oil went down because the value of the dollar went UP. We need to do that much more often if we are to salvage the price of oil, the value of the dollar, and by extension save the economy.



We need to do both of their plans together; raise taxes and cut spending.



And pretty much everything else is the same.

"They" never will. Say anything that irritates or annoys them and they will invariably throw out Bush, McCain or the Republicans. I believe you are WITNESSING the pressures and stress that are coming in on them right now. Obama is slipping ever so more in the Polls, the book "Obama Nation" is causing some quiet but powerful vibrations and Obama is just looking weaker and weaker in the final laps. Too bad..........that means Chicago gets him back and I doubt they want him either.

Good observation. Do you remember the parable of the man who only sees the splinters in other people's eyes?

Yes I do see this pattern, but I'm not sure why, so I can't answer that part of the question. I question most human behavior and have no answers.

You need to be specific. This vague question is pointless. I don't see any such pattern generally.
