I couldn't agree more. Politics is politics, nothing more. I don't have the same religion as my best friends, I may not share the same views on child rearing, I might share their views about diet and exercise, but they are my friends and they are Americans. We don't need a civil war to turnaround an election result--and all this silly hyperbole that this time it's different and if 0 wins we will never get a chance again is just downright idiocy. If 0 wins and if he tries to grab power then we will react. Two things I strongly believe in
1. Facts rule the day and
2. United we stand.

And all this "that's not what the other side believes talk gets us nowhere. It's not what a tiny fringe on either side believes. Tiny. Fringe.

The problem is that the fringe seems to be at the top, as much as at an occassional root. When a party's Presidential candidate hangs out with "God D@mn America" types and the former(?) head of the Weather underground, folks are bound to wonder about the nature of his potential administration.

You're correct in respect to your friends and neighbors, but dead wrong in regards to politics. We are a nation founded on a core set of principles, spelled out and enumerated in the “Declaration of Independence”, “Constitution”, and “Bill of Rights”. While we have differing religious views, we are basically what would be center to center right politically.
Yet we are being told that the majority prefers the most radical leftist candidate for POTUS in history? The Democrat party gained control of the house and senate in 2006 by running the most conservative leaning candidates they could find against weak RINO opponents. When the election was over, they immediately put the most Left winged moonbats they had in charge of the house and senate.
The democrats laid the foundation for the financial crisis through their policies, obstructed reform that might have prevented the crisis, and then have the audacity to blame the problem on “George Bush's failed policies”.
The hardcore, leftists in the democrat party are calling the shots, ignoring the wishes of the people, and they are supported and abetted by their hardcore leftist pals in the MSM. They will have completed their political coup once they have Obama entrenched, and then can load the supreme court.
So, I guess I take exception to your feeling that it's only politics.

I could not disagree more, see my comments to Klepto (sp?) above.

On another thread you said:

“Being divisive hurts us. Controversial statement over.”

This is bullshit. Conservatives haven’t been divisive enough - the reason there are so many brainwashed useful idiot leftists is because conersvatives have not been courageous enough.

The truly committed leftists like Ayers will never be “re-habilitated” but they would not have the power over others that they have if conservatives had been MORE divisive and stood up for conservative principles.

Your comments sound like Kumbaya/harmony/leftist drivel to me.

all this silly hyperbole that this time it’s different and if 0 wins we will never get a chance again is just downright idiocy.

Do you really think so? I am not at all sure that it is idiocy to believe that this nation will NOT survive as anything remotely resembling the America I knew as a boy. It hardly resembles it now. Yesterday I went to the fair for the first time in years, I am fairly certain it will be my last time. I got to the gate and was told that I could not carry my pocket knife in so I took it back to the car, my wife had a small knife in her purse which she also left in the car. When we returned to the gate we had to empty our pockets and go through a metal detector, I don’t know why I didn’t just turn around and leave but I wanted to see the agricultural exhibits so I paid twenty dollars admission for the two of us and jumped through the hoops. Believe me I was made well aware that this is not the country of my birth and I see very little chance of improvement. We are sliding into the abyss and the only difference I see regarding this election is that we will slide much faster with Obama at the helm.
If we still had the kind of citizenry that is capable of resurrecting this nation after Obama destroys it we would not have an Obama running for president in the first place.
