If we are this divided and - more importantly - this disrespectful and flat out ugly towards one another on the same side of the aisle, what does that say about us as mature adults, much less a group of people who ostensibly want to work together to defeat a common enemy in a few short months?

Our collective anger, while justified on many counts, has not served us nor this country well at all the past eight years.

And it is doing nothing to move us forward today.

Wake up, my friends. No matter who you support in the presidential race this year, don't forget that none of us knows it all.

Shut up and listen to one another every now and then. We don't have to agree on everything, but how the hell do we know exactly what others think if we busy ourselves with pigeonholing, stereotyping and e-yelling at them 24/7?




Don't recommend this thread. Just read it and think about it. Reply to it, if it interests you. Ignore it, if not. Or smack me down if you feel I'm out of line. Just say something other than some nasty and generally unoriginal shot at someone else's candidate here. If nothing else, do that.

Please.
