Reply #19: The last thing we need is making concessions to right-wingers because of an obsession with "unity" [View All]

==you and I may despise certain Republicans, but as a whole, we NEED to work with them for the benefit of all Americans. I don't think Hillary or Edwards can do this, which is why I support Obama. I'm done with the rank partisanship, regardless of who is in power of the White House.==

Let's stop sugarcoating this. Obama needs to be up front with voters about the price of "unity." The only way to achieve consensus is to make concessions to the right-wing. Why doesn't Obama tell us what exactly he is willing to give to the right-wing for the sake of consensus?

==triangulation can be politically beneficial, but I don't really like that policy either. you need to have a code, you need to have a stance. i'm alright with it on a case by case basis.==

"Unity" is a clever way to repackage triangulation. When he triangulates he will claim he had to do it to achieve consensus...
