"By contrast to the Democratic sunshine, the Republican party is night."
Correction:
By contrast to the Democratic sunshine, the Republican party is A DARK, DANK PRISON CELL.
btw, did you know McCain was a POW???
I was a registered Republican for (32) years...and then this year I re-registered as a Democrat. I called myself a Liberal Republican...like Gov. Arnold of CA... and I still voted for Clinton, Gore and Kerry. I had HOPE that one day...the Republican Party would again nominate someone worthy of the party name.
Then this year...I was put-a-fork-in-it-done with the Republican Party. I became a Democrat.
John McCain's choice of Sarah Palin as his V.P. side-kick has just shown me I made the right choice. it just demonstrates how far Right-to the-Right the Republican party has gotten. Richter-scale off the charts to the Right.
Your article presents in a sound and elequant way my views as well as to the Democrats, beliefs that were ingraned in my memory since the early 1960's. To me the Democrats were and still far more aligned with the working and middle class on real issues not the phony ones and the power grabbing of Republicans.
WE NEED HILLARY CLINTON NOW!!!! All the polls are shifting some by 10 points! Obama, should ask to Hillary's running mate as a co-presidential ticket with Joe Bidden as an advisor or driver!
Thanks Oliver, you always make me feel better! Keep up the good work.
