It's only natural for the closed-minded to offer such a limited scope of possibilities, so I don't exactly blame you for your shortcoming. After all, it's your nature.
They have similar views on what needs to be done but not on how to do it. Last I checked, Obama isn't talking about obliterating Iran if they lash out against Israel. Granted, I don't support the idea of it either, but that's just one particular instance. The anti-Obama Democrats either don't like his approach to things or they find him to be a bit shady.
Personally, I'm an anti-Hillary Democrat (atleast this time around). Am I sexist? No, I just don't like Hillary. She's inconsistent in her campaigning, mudslinging within her own party, focused more on image than issues, and frankly I think she's batshit crazy. One day she's accusing Obama of being inexperienced and boasting of 35 years of experience (total bullshit), the next she's accusing him of being elitist. She goes straight from attacking him to acting like she's being victimized. She accuses him of being unworthy and unprepared to lead, despite the fact that he's shown more signs of preparation than she but that's beside the point. Then she turns around and suggests he concedes and signs on as her running mate, when he's winning. I'd like to see where Obama is acting the same way, because if he is, I guess that means I'm sexist.
On the opposite end, you've got anti-Obama Democrats who think he's untrustworthy because of his long past with that nutjob pastor and his Muslim extremist father. Personally, I think both of those are bullshit, but there are those who are able to validate that way of thinking and have other reasons not to like him.
That all being said though, I'd probably still pull for Hillary if she got the nod. She is still a better choice than McCain.... I think.
Obama and Clinton are far from being essentially the same candidate, even if they were both the same race and gender. Unfortunately, you only see these readily obvious anomalous traits and assume that that is all that sets them apart.
