We have an opportunity to establish a new direction for America. Getting along and being nice would be wonderful, but we need to find a new LEADER. We haven't been lead in a long time. Though much of DU is sophomoric (I keep the bar fairly low myself) and petty, the truth is that all of that is just a barometer of the emotion we all share. Sure it's childish, and may even seem harmful. But, I like to think it is, for the most part, rooted in a real desire to GET THIS COUNTRY RIGHT. So, silly barbs, profane attacks, and mis-stated facts and outright lies and slander aside, we all want the same thing. This is not the time to have thin skin...wait till this Fall. The Right is going to come after us with a vengeance...they have backed themselves into a corner. We can, we will pull together. But, we don't all need or have to get along, not now, not later. We just need to keep the pressure on our candidates, who will hopefully become our LEADERS, to show us the direction. A party of great diversity only sustains itself because, in the end, the common goal of its members is the same. Who cares if we have to cuss and scream and claw and scratch to get there?
