This is indeed good for the Party. All those (2.00 / 4)

divisive naysayers would have little reason not to vote for the Party Nominee and the down ticket folks. If some still tries to vote for McCain, even after HRC and BC campaigning for Obama, then that person is a Republican. There are no two ways about it..

I completely agree. A unity ticket would expose ALL of the naysayers (both the Clinton-haters and the Obama-haters) as the Republicans they really are.

No, if we had a Unity ticket, I'll probably vote,bud!

But of course, you are not saying this more out of spite than unity. Begrudged feelings overcome can overcome one from time to time forcing them to say things that would at first glance appear friendly but only to hid the pure malice behind it. However, I could be misinterpreting you though. You would only know that!!!

Huh? Were you responding to me? Not sure what you may or may not be misinterpreting, but hiding pure malice doen'st sound like me. When I do choose to be malicious, I tend to do it overtly.

LakersFan, I regret that I did not read your past post. Sorry! I really don't like Obama...but a joint  ticket would help me pull the lever at this point.

I hold no ill will toward you. At least you're not telling people to shoo!

I believe we tell flies only to shoo! The person on this diary using the word, shoo, to other long time voters of the Democratic Party needs to be not only shooed, but flushed!

Again, my angst is over anything you've said. You seem to be a good democrat. I apologize for my remarks. Too bad, I can not say that about Mr. Shoo!

No apology necessary. I was just confused about what was being misunderstood. I'm not terribly thrilled with Obama myself, but I'm a loyal Democrat who will vote for him, and I like his potential to bring a lot of new voters to the polls. If Clinton's on the ticket, I think I could become thrilled.

That's right. Clinton-haters as well as Obama haters are Republicans, which makes them Bush supporters - regardless of whatever intellectual or philosophical artifice is being proposed as "the reason I don't like "xxx". That's the insurmountable math. Polls just measure people's feelings. Blogs and the media are just venues for people to express their emotions and other ridiculous psychobabble. It may have taken eight years, but doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different result - as in voting Republican to improve the economy or effectively protect the country or expand health care or address poverty - is insanity.

The language, tactics and reasoning of Clinton and Obama haters are strangly similar.

My money is on them being, in large part, the same manipulative wingers
