I would like to apologize to supporters of other candidates
In the recent weeks I have crossed the line several times in being critical of other candidates. I think we all have a lot of passion and very much want our nominee to have the best chance in winning and thereby stopping any further destruction to the Constitution and world affairs. But, we all have different ideas about who is best to acheive this and I have to admit, I am not sure myself. Lets all take a breath...

pause...

...

...

and not allow emotions to turn a grave American decision into a mud slinging contest.

I would like to try my best to advocate for the candidate I have chosen, without negative attacks that only hurt my candidates chances for the type of political reconciliation that can heal and unite this party.

Do you agree?

1. Yes
in the end, we have a common goal, and that is to turn this country around. It is true that any of the candidates the Dems offer will do that, and do it well. We must must must work together to achieve this. A house divided against itself cannot stand. (And I hate the way the Repukes continually claim Abraham Lincoln as a Republican, when in fact he was a member of the party that is now the Democrats and was never one of them. Just had to mention that.)

2. What this? A mea culpa without the candidates name sprinkled
throughout in caps and the word "however"? This is a dangerous trend.

3. Yes! Right on. The simple fact is that all our candidates are too damn good to deserve it!
We need to remember that the challenge here is to choose between a group of INCREDIBLE people. When you're choosing between a Porsche and a Mercedes, calling either one a lemon is just a foolish thing to say.
