What righties don't get
Some of us don't want to see a candidate ascend to the White House on a campaign built on slander, smears, and lies. The integrity of our republic means more than winning. And that is one reason -- the main reason -- why we want McCain to lose.
Yes, I think Obama will be a great president. And I think his optimism is far better for America than the cynicism of McCain or the nutty mocking tone of Angry Sarah Palin. But that's only half of it.
When I see the quality of our republic run down in the name of winning an election, I get angry about that. I was raised to believe in America and what it was founded to represent. And I want to see it preserved. If that makes me "un-American," then, damn it, that is what I am.
Ridicule me if you must. That is what you people do. But I know what my motives are. And I know what your are.
I am on the side of the optimistic, forward-looking ideals that made America great. You are on the side of "showing the Democrats who is boss." Which is better for the future of this great republic?
