ex-cretin rated 2 months ago- THIS...is the USA I want to live in. Excerpts: My endorsement of Senator Obama will not be welcome news to my friends and family at the Clinton campaign.... I will be branded as disloyal, power-hungry, but most importantly, they will use the exact words that Republicans used to attack me when I was defending President Clinton. Yet, despite the simple and overwhelming pressure to do anything and everything to win, Barack Obama has risen above it all and demanded a new brand of politics. People flock to Senator Obama because they are rejecting the hyperbole of the old politics. The past eight years of George Bush have witnessed a retreat from substance, science, and reason in favor spin, cronyism and ideology. Barack Obama has dared not only to criticize it, as all Democrats do, but to actually reject playing the same old game. And in doing so, he has shown us a new path to victory. I understand that, while wrong and pernicious, shallow victory can be achieved through division by semantics and obfuscation. Like many, I succumbed to the addiction of old politics because they are so easy. Innuendo is easy. The truth is hard. Sound bites are easy. Solutions are hard. Spin is simple and easy. Struggling with facts is complicated and hard. * * * * * The difference between the Republican Party and the Democratic Party is that you are always welcome in the Democratic Party. Because Democrats don't care if you are black or white or brown or a nice shade of green, you are welcome in the Democratic Party. We don't care if you pray in a church or a synagogue or a temple or a mosque, or just before math tests, you are welcome in the Democratic Party. We don't care if you are young or old, or just don't want to tell your age, you are welcome in the Democratic Party. We don't care what gender you are, or what gender you want to hold hands with; as long as you want to hold hands, you are welcome in the Democratic Party. We don't care about the size of your bank account, just the size of your heart; and we don't care where you are today, just where you dream you want to be tomorrow.
