1. No
Its not one America.

Its us against them!

We must vanquish the other side, on and on!

Never give an inch, war in perpetuity!

If we have to become WORSE than the dirtiest Republicans to get there, it will be worth it!


errrr......sorry.

I was having a Hillary campaign moment there.

My apologies.

:evilgrin:

2. I agree with you.
It's too bad the Hillbots don't believe in unity. They only believe in it on their terms.

5. Some things are more important than unity
I'm not terribly interested in singing Kum By Yah in a circle with a bunch of Limbaugh dittoheads.

These people need to be defeated, not "understood".

In the past we have had presidents who did what was right, even if some people would be deeply offended, and even if opponents fought it every step of the way.

Maybe Andrew Jackson just should have let the National Bank continue to run roughshod over the American people. We wouldn't want to offend the speculators and bankers.

Maybe Lincoln should have continued a policy of appeasement to the South as presidents had done for the last 60 years on the slavery issue. We wouldn't want to polarize the nation, now would we?

Maybe LBJ just should have avoided civil rights. Pushing that only antagonized the South and angered knuckle dragging white racists (later to become the base the the GOP).

The only unity I am concerned about is that of our party for this fall's election, because THAT IS THE REAL ELECTION!!!! IT'S THE ONLY ONE THAT COUNTS IN THE END!!! Every candidate seems to have a few crybaby supporters who are not prepared to take the pledge to support the nominee whoever it is.

12. And what do you plan on doing after you, tee hee, win the White House?
It'll be the same ol' shit from 10-15 years ago. More fighting and barely anything will be done.

9. The REAL battle is not "Democrats" vs "Republicans"
Nor is it "black vs white", "gay vs straight", "US citizens vs immigrants", "Christians vs atheists" or any other such thing.

The real battle is the greedy corporatists who are literally destroying the middle class. They have ruined the manufacturing base. They have decimated the unions. They have outsourced everything up to and including high tech industries that didn't even exist when the bastards passed NAFTA.

Corporations who now base their manufacturing in third world sweatshops, and their head offices in Carribean tax shelters, yet still have the nerve to call themselves "American" companies now produce NOTHING in this country.

Wal Mart is to blame. Exxon is to blame. Nike is to blame. AOLTimeCNNWarner, Rupert FAUX Sky Murdoch Direct TV, and Bush Crime Family Clear Channel are to blame. And the motherfucking treasonous, cancerous DLC is to blame, because they have willingly enabled all of the above, while still claiming to be the party of FDR.

Now you know the true enemy. What are you going to do about it?

14. "Whenever a fellow tells me they are bipartisan, I know they are going to vote against me."
Harry S. Truman
