The primaries have divided us.
We're at each others' throats, and slaughtering each other over who should be the nominee.

That is obvious.

I've been a part of this rancor, and so I'd like to propose something that might unite us, and help us realize who our true enemy is.

George W. Bush.

He is incompetent, idoitic, asinine, evil and just plain stupid.

So, as a way to get Obama's supporters and Hillary's supporters to unite under one common goal, I'd like to propose this:

A nickname for president shit for brains.

Difficulty: no more than five words.

Let's come together and remind ourselves as to why this idiot needs to be removed from the presidency.

Defeating John McCain in November.

best or better candidates, so he may not be the worst, but he's no better.

7. I won't deny that she hasn't pissed off people, but
we can all rally around the fact that president shit for brains is the worst president in American history.

6. I think the damage became irrepairable when Hillary stayed in after losing 11 in a row
The party leaders should have stepped in and told Clinton in private that they had enough, and coerced her, or even threatened her (whichever was needed) to concede at that point.

They arent idiots, at least I would like to believe they arent idiots, and they had to see that there arent sufficient delegates in the remaining states to have an outright winner through the primaries.

They should have used those two weeks before Ohio and Texas to get us unified behind the leader in delegates, total votes, and states won while they had the chance.

But no, they have always feared the Clintons, so they were too cowardly to use a lull late in our primaries to bring our party together.

Its too late now.

The Clintons will further divide this party in their desperate attempt to regain power, and the entire party, including Hillary's own supporters, will be the losers once again.

Thats not the issue.

(Nor in doubt.)

The issue was the party being divided, and on that score no matter who "wins" the nomination the other side will be pissed now that the MSM is carrying Hillary's water and doing their best to make the average voter believe she not only has a real chance, but they're again trying to imply she's now the front runner.

Hillary's supporters honestly believe that is true.

Yes Obama will no doubt be the nominee, so in that light the party should have stepped in before Ohio and Texas and forced Clinton to bow out no matter what happened on March 4th to prevent the divide from growing larger due to the MSM (and Clinton's) desire to keep our party bleeding through the next 7 long weeks.

16. true


I however, think that the supporters of both candidates should realise that we can all agree on a majority of things.

8. WE have divided us.
Before it started, we know that this primary could be fun, or it could be a grim and pinched drag.

Guess which one we picked.

Well, I'm having fun. There is plenty of stuff to enjoy, and I'm not going to let the pinchbutts harsh my happy.

--p!

24. Hillary Clinton has divided us with her selfish ambition
She could have withdrawn gracefully after Wisconsin, when it became near mathematically impossible for her to come back.

Instead she started trench warfare.

She should be shamed out of the Party.
