"The enemy of my enemy is my friend"
This is my new political philosophy since the election. I believe that this can be a winning strategy for all of us...liberals, left-libertarians, moderates, and disgruntled conservatives....who are opposed to the radical right!! It's obvious that we don't always agree with eachother, and that's fine. But we need to all band together as a unit to defeat our common enemy!

What do the ACLU, PFAW, the DNC,the DLC, DFA, Micheal Moore,Ralph Nader, Democrats, Greens, left-leaning Libertarians, moderate Republicans, and some independents all have in common?

They are opposed to the radical right!!

Can you imagine what would happen if they all banded together? The right-wing wouldn't stand a chance! Imagine what would have happened if all Nader supporters, Green party members, independent progressives, and Democrats had voted for the same person in 2004. On the Republican side, some libertarians have been voting with members of the religious right! If two philosophies as different as those two can find a way to band together to defeat us, then we can certainly band together to defeat them!

1. The people of the earth are our friends
As well, the iraqi insurgents, all who oppose bush, whether you
would see it politically expedient to acknowledge their support or
no. This is a global civil war, about whether the planet wants to
be ruled by a corporate elite, or by its own elected governments.

I agree with you, that the criminal fascists in this regard, are
vastly outnumbered, and we need only wait as they dig their own
graves.

2. I see them in tune to a better America.
I frankly do not care if the right wing sits out their as long as they do not think that if you get 51% IT MEANS YOU RULE A COUNTRY WITH OUT THINKING ABOUT THE 49%.The people who do not win are also members of this country and we have one president for all.

3. I think we banded together, but they still STOLE THE ELECTION
What are we to do. Start a revolution or what?
