A vote for him still ain’t a vote for sticking it to the man. Unless by “sticking it to the man” you mean “I’m voting for the longshot”, in which case you are indeed sticking it to the man.

Let’s play the same game with your boy. Who said A:

We both believe that marriage is between a man and a woman. But we also believe that gay and lesbians and gay and lesbian couples, those who have been in long-term relationships, deserve to be treated respectfully, they deserve to have benefits. For example, a gay couple now has a very difficult time, one, visiting the other when they’re in the hospital, or, for example, if, heaven forbid, one of them were to pass away, they have trouble even arranging the funeral.

and who said B:

I’d rather that domestic partner benefits, such as hospital – hospital visitation rights for same-sex couples. I don’t want civil unions or gay marriage.

One of them is Mitt Romney. Doesn’t matter which, cause they are the same thing. Shame your boy is so Romney-esque.

Except that he isn’t and cherry-picking a couple of quotes is utter bullshit. I’m smart enough to know that chunks of conversations don’t give you the whole idea of the man. His works (like community organizer, civil rights lawyer, etc.) give you an idea of Obama. Just as Edwards record as a lawyer and books about the poor (though i’m not sure exactly which poor people have benefited from his stuff) give you an idea of him.

If you are all for him, cool. You just ain’t sticking it to the man. Electing another rich white guy who can be scared into killing Iraqis so that he doesn’t look weak isn’t the revolution you make it out to be.

In a blind taste test of policies, I really don’t think you could taste the difference. Your “cult of personality” stuff is really just more of a way to say “your guy is more charismatic than mine, but fuck you”. Now don’t get me wrong, I like John Edwards. The reality of it is, though, if he could motivate people the way Obama can, there would be a lot less poor people right now. And if he was as steadfast in his beliefs as Obama, he wouldn’t have voted for the AUMF. Which is why I support Obama. He will get alot more done as president than Edwards could. And prolly won’t get talked out of it like Edwards can be.

And I defy you to find one policy reminiscent of Lieberman. Find me one, otherwise we can just watch that strawman burn. Here’s a dKos diary comparing the candidate’s positions. I don’t see much difference. So it comes down to who can win it and get it done.

I got $5 on Obama.

Of course, American voters vote on cult of personality more than anything else. So, have at it with the cult.

Isn’t Edwards the only one of the three that fits the profile of “The Man”?

Of course, I’m an Obama supporter myself. So I’m sticking it to the man in other methods.
