I believe we are being manipulated by those with a right-wing, conservative agenda and the main stream media. When I say we, I refer to Democrats as a whole, not one campaign or the other. This manipulation, although proffered for different reasons, political gain by the first and audience/monetary gain by the later, can only work if we allow them to succeed.
If we accept this proposition as true, we must then realize that it is more important than ever that we, the members of both candidacies, turn away from attacking each other and instead focus on debunking the notion that our internal problems are insurmountable.
Certainly, both candidates will at times say things that anger the other’s constituency, this is called politics after all, but it is a wholly different matter to have these differences dredged-up, piled, sorted, rescattered and rehashed over and over and over.
Additionally, we must not allow innuendo and guilt by association to become the direction of our political discourse. The Republicans have taken us down that road before and it served no one well. If you doubt this, search for the term "McCarthyism" on any search engine and learn a lesson from history.
We, today, are in the midst of our own historical renaissance. Either nominee for the Democratic party will bring about an abrupt and everlasting change to this nation’s political psyche.
It is my belief, because of Barack Obama’s stance on unity, on agreeing to disagree without being disagreeable, that he offers our nation the most prophetic and uplifting change.
(Prophetic: We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal...)
