Date: 2008-05-05 05:29 am (UTC)Obama has a very short amount of time in government, so there's much less to pick at. That doesn't make him trustworthy, it just makes him a less-known quantity. Clinton and McCain are also horrendously guilty of everything valid, true, and important they could possibly dig up about Obama, so naturally they have to magnify trivialities and just plain make shit up. It's hard to call a man a corporate whore and gripe about all the lobbyist dollars in his pockets when your own Pimp Daddy, Inc. has got you working the same street.
I'm glad you identify as a Liberal but not a Democrat. I see huge differences between politicians who identify as Liberal/Conservative and voters who do so... to me, allegedly Conservative politicians are nearly all traitorous fucking Neocon pigs, and the voters who support them are either traitorous fucking pigs as well, or so intensely stupid they should be rounded up and used for slave labor or a food source. I also see Liberal politicians as traitorous fucking pigs who willingly collaborate with the Neocons, but I think Liberal voters are basically decent people, and I respect them for it even when I think their opinions are stupid. The Liberal voters who still have any loyalty to the Democrats I see as the more gullible members of the Liberal herd... they're basically decent people who are caught up in a huge scam, the way I see it.
The big difference in my world is that I'll actually talk to a Liberal and try to be a good influence on them, politically speaking. When I encounter anyone who supports Bush and/or McCain, they get nothing but hostility until they have the good sense to fuck right off.
