I am starting to believe that Nader might be right.
There is little difference between republicans and Democrats.

Of course there is a great deal of difference between their policies and their plans. But the difference between their rhetoric is getting less and less all the time.

I can hardly stand to come on DU and read the attacks any more.
We have two awesome candidates that are a million times better than anyone the republicans could hope for and we are ripping them to shreds.

Please remember one of these candidates will be our nominee and one will not, but I am sure we will not win in the general election if we do not start working together, now.

2. Oh please
At least Democrats and rethugs are willing to stand and fight for what they believe, even if the rethugs are dead wrong on just about every issue. As for the negative campaigns, it's nothing new. The parties beat themselves up during the primaries, but then rally against the other party.

3. This perceived lack of difference
Edited on Mon Feb-25-08 02:13 PM by Turbineguy
shows just how successful the repubs have been in dividing us all.

Smearing our own candidates is just doing their dirty work. When eventually the final democratic candidate emerges they can use the smears generated here.

On edit sorry for the spelling.
