<p>Sign 2: Matt Drudge is an entirely fair and reliable source of infomation on Democratic Candidates as <a href="http://reddit.com/r/politics/info/6hnct/comments/c03v8jp">this reaction</a> to <a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0408/9964.html">Republicans assuming their opponent in the fall will be Obama</a> shows.</p>
<div id="body_t1_c03v8jp" class="commentbody">
<div class="md">
<blockquote><p>Holy shit, she is really gonna get angry with this&#8230; Nothing could bring more votes to Obama than this, he should run an ad stating this right now&#8230; Obama: look guys if the enemy have made his mind you get it?</p>
<p>And Drudge is running this now: MAJORITY OF HOUSE AND SENATE PRIVATELY BACK OBAMA</p>
<p>She is SOOO done&#8230; she could resign today! LOL</p>
</p></blockquote>
</div>
</div>
<p>Although it should be noted that the Unity Warriors are taking inspiration <a href="http://www.mydd.com/story/2008/2/26/84755/2577">from the top on this one.</a> That comment also leads us neatly into&#8230;</p>
<p>Sign 3: It&#8217;s entirely reasonable to allow Republicans to dictate the Democratic Agenda&#8230;.unless they&#8217;re voting for Clinton, in which case it means they&#8217;re trying to give Democrats the weaker and/or evil candidate. This simple rule can easily be demonstrated by <a href="http://reddit.com/info/6gd8m/comments/c03rm5t">this reaction </a>to the news that <a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=89785569&amp;ft=1&amp;f=1001">62% of former Republican voters went for Obama</a>.</p>
<div id="body_t1_c03rm5t" class="commentbody">
<div class="md">
<blockquote><p>That&#8217;s it? Only 62?</p>
<p>I think Repulicans are starting to like her more and more now that she&#8217;s decided to use their campaign tactics.</p>
</p></blockquote>
</div>
</div>
<p>Here we see that 62% of Republicans vote for Obama because they think he&#8217;s an amazing unifier who will change the world and give us all rainbows and ponies, whilst the other 42% vote for Clinton because she&#8217;s the second coming of Hitler and they approve of such things.</p>
<p>These Unity Warriors should be assumed to be highly impervious to rational thought, if one is encountered do not attempt to engage in debate. If cornered remember that, like religious symbols repel vampires, anything that lacks purely symbolic meaning (such as issues of substance) will ward them off.</p>
