I do hope we can stay unified through the next few weeks here. I find disagreement stimulating and interesting, but I wouldn't stress that disagreement with our own candidate in a public forum at this late point in the election. I'm not mocking or ridiculing so I think your complaining to me about those types is out of line with my comments. I think our democratic process could stand some solidarity and support. I think our cause is not served by the grousing and exultations about Cheney's performance.
I don't think those counterfeit losers in the White House could even cast a shadow that I would acknowledge. That's not communist or freepdom, it's solid, unwavering support. That's as American and democratic as dissent. My post is a suggestion, not any type of demand (as if I could demand such solidarity). It's a plea for public unity. After all, John Edwards did nothing in that debate to sully our aspirations or goals. He did a fine job defending and supporting our needs and concerns. He deserves the same.
edit: 'Win at any cost' is a pretty compelling argument for those who have loved ones in Iraq, or have lost their job, or lost their health insurance, or have had their civil rights and liberties trampled on by this administration. I can confidently say that this election is an emergency as a Bush victory would be catastropic in the biblical sense.
