Our Divisiveness: Healthy or Suicidal?
Advertisements [?]
For the past many months, I've operated under the assumption that our disagreements are healthy and will be resolved after a nominee is selected. But lately, I'm not so sure. I hear a determination, recalcitrance, stubbornness and refusal to compromise in the voices of my fellow Democrats that scares me. In fact, the most scary words I know are, "even if ..... is the nominee, I won't vote for him/her..."

Or even worse, so-and-so is a Republican, so it doesn't matter if I vote for that person or not.

This is total horse shit and you know it. The absolute worst Dem is better than the best republican, and you know it. There IS a difference. Think of the Supreme court.

Please. I know good sportsmanship when I see it, and things are getting scary and ugly. We need to remember that we all want change. Bush is the worst president ever, ever, in the history of our country, and perhaps the worst leader in the history of the civilized world.

It's crazy to say you won't vote for the Democratic nominee at this point. We need to fix ourselves from the bottom up, so badly, and resuscitate our dignity.

You know that Obama can do that.

You know that Edwards can do that.

You know that Clinton can do that.

Please, use your fucking common sense at this point. Sorry for the profanity, but we can't stand to dick around at this point. We need to put a Democratic in the white house.
