"The pundits like to slice-and-dice our country into Red States and Blue States; Red States for Republicans, Blue States for Democrats. But I've got news for them too. We worship an awesome God in the Blue States, and we don't like federal agents poking around in our libraries in the Red States. We coach Little League in the Blue States and yes, we got some gay friends in the Red States. There are patriots who opposed the war in Iraq and patriots who supported the war in Iraq. We are one people, all of us pledging allegiance to the stars and stripes, all of us defending the United States of America." -Barack Obama
This is why a conservative can support Barack Obama.
I don't even care if this is just empty rhetoric, it is rhetoric than needs to be said, no, shouted from the rooftops. Nothing would be more healing to this divided nation than an end to partisan hacks, many of whom post on this forum with all the eloquency of an insane street person.
Would you support Obama?
