Beginning with Nixon and Reagan, they built this mess.

A nation divided cannot stand, and the Republicans have proved during the last 12 years that their only purpose is to divide the nation and tear it down.

Outsourcing jobs, refusing to pay enough in taxes to keep the country going, arguing about the trivia that substitutes for morality in their lives, refusing to improve our healthcare system, or to support education for all. All of their policies and values divide rich from poor and bring us down.

The Republicans built the mess we are in. The 2008 economic crash is only the symptom of the division they have brought.

And now we Democrats are going to rebuild the great nation we once were.

I hope all DUers are out there volunteering to re-elect Obama. It's the only hope we have right now.
