Does anybody know what... "I'm a Unite'er not a Divide'er".... means?... Been working on that for 6 years.. and can't figure it out..

I do for sure. It's the same nonsense that Americans hunger for every 8 years. Obama is preaching that same message now. People who don't love politics get sick and tired of the life-blood of politics (scandal, nasty bickering, etc.). So any politician who goes out and preaches "uniter not a divider" gets their ear. It's just another way people fool themselves. Any politician who ignores that need in the people is also known as a loser.

It was George Bush's main sound bite in 2000/4, you remember..
I agree Bush has pretty much fractured the republican party..
Only a matter of time before he supports Giuliani.. unless he supports the one he DON'T want to succeed..

Same as with the other end of the spectrum.

Every 8-12 years, social conservatives throw a tantrum and DEMAND that a candidate take a "strong" position and say out loud the magic words: "I think abortion should be illegal everywhere."

No matter that no pro-life candidate has done a damn thing to overturn Roe/Wade....it doesn't matter. They just want someone to say the magic words, and then they will vote against Hillary.
