And BTW, you didn't participate in any of the threads where this was bing discussed this whole time, and now all of a sudden you have the nerve to interject for the purpose to "attack"?And yes, people had every right to defend their candidate before the election. Every right. That does NOT mean that after the election is decided, that the right thing isn't to back the person who was the opposition. That is the PROPER way to move forward as a nation. TO illustrate. In the primaries, you had "Hillary" people and you had "Obama" people. The ATTACK post you made criticizing the "Republicans" (lol, I am not even a Republican) for backing McCain is no different for the Hillary Democrats coming over to Obama after Hillary lost. Do you think Obama would have won or the Democratic party would have won if they hadn't mostly joined together as one again AFTER the primaries? It's no different than The McCain people coming together after the election back to unite back as WE the nation. Unfortunately though, it's people like you that perpetuation the "us" and "they" ugliness apparently, which divides the country. It's not supposed to be "us" and "them", it's WE. It's all well and good when you are supporting one candidate and others another candidate in the elections. That's normal, that's Democracy. But the next step after that has to be a united front once it's over. THAT is how we advance as a nation, and that is how we heal as a nation. Unfortunately though, we never healed from November 2000, and THAT is one of the big problems this country has, that I hope will be rectified. |
