Great Leaders Unite
Great Leaders are able to unite the population. They are able to heal rifts and pull nations together. Regardless who wins the upcoming primaries, the true test of our leaders will be in the ability to heal this party. If one resists an olive branch, then they will fail the test which may have future ramifications in future elections. I believe both candidates are aware of this and I believe both candidates will reach out to one another in extending their hand.

You see this race is somewhat like our favorite choice of vehicles or home styles, hell, even lifestyles. While one may prefer a SUV over a sedan, all would prefer a vehicle over being transported by a bus or walking. One may prefer to live in a city, and one prefer living in a rural area, but most all would prefer living in a home rather than be homeless. One may prefer to live as a transgender, while another may prefer to live as a heterosexual, but most will prefer to live rather than to die.

Whichever side wins, the opponents leader should lead their followers to unite. We all should prefer a Democratic President to one who will lead us further down the path of the American destruction we have been on the past seven years.

1. The biggest difference between Republicans and Democrats is
Democrats don't stick together. Republicans do, even when they don't like their nominees.

This is why you have George Bush for 2 terms. Democrats get scared and cross over or do stupid shit like vote for Nadar. Meanwhile Republicans even though they can't stand McCain or Bush. Will stick together, because they always see the bigger picture.

2. but when you have someone like obama that has to win ugly by
playing the race card and race baiting then that too plays into just who will really vote for him if he is the nominee.....

Never have liked obama and really dislike him now knowing that he sat there while two people that has always helped the democratic party and always thought more of helping people of color advance themselves while his surrogates and whoremedia were falsely accusing Bill and Hillary Clinton of playing the race card and race baiting. all the while it was obama and his surrogates especially jesse jackson jr doing all the race baiting and allowing it to go so far as to have them called bigots and racists by those same mediawhores......yes he might win the nomination....BUT BEFORE HE TRIES TO SAVE THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE HOLES IN THEIR SOULS HE BETTER TAKE A LONG HARD LOOK AT THE HOLE IN HIS OWN DAMN SOUL....

3. If you noticed I intentionally omitted any reference to
either candidate in this post. I do believe Great Leaders can Unite ------- we will see if both candidates have the ability to do so or if they can't or won't.


I remember the days we could post here with thoughtful insights and opinions with healthy debates. Will be glad when the opposition wakes up and realizes our party cannot be divided - and NO, I am not speaking of either of the Democratic candidates when referring to the opposition in this statement, either!
