47. Not at all! I want to be won over! I want to be able to vote in good conscience for the
PRESUMPTIVE democratic nominee. I'm not there. Mostly, because I've seen so few of his supporters discuss policy. I have seen Clinton supporters discuss policy ad nauseum. And I know where she stands for good and for bad. As far as Obama goes, I've seen irrational, misogynistic bashing of Clinton, freeper assaults on President Clinton and worshipful crush-like, but empty rhetoric about why Obama is the best man for the job. No one seems to discuss his policy. Even people I know who have known him and and his wife for decades. It rubs me the wrong way. I do not vote on personality; I vote on policy. And he has gotten a negative rating from NOW IL which really worries me and has shown that he's ambivalent at best to the GLBT citizens of our country and I think his plans are quite vague when they aren't downright dangerous. But, as a Democrat, I am OPEN and WANT very much to be able to cast my vote for the Democratic nominee, which, despite all the corruption, it seems he will be. So, I'm asking, very honestly, what makes his supporters stand behind the man as far as his policy goes. That's all that matters to me. Good policy. Progressive policy.

I really have no interest into getting into campaign assaults with you or any one else. I'm interested in platform and voting record.
