Democrats in 2012—The need to get real
Some Democrats are hesitating to rally behind our president.
I don’t get it. Put all the rest of the clutter and noise aside and here is
what you have left: President Obama is leading in the best direction. Mitt
Romney has promised to take our country in the other direction. Progressive
change may be slower than expected, but our President has persistently moved us
forward. Republicans have gone to radical extremes to obstruct his efforts,
willingly damaging our nation in the process. Their disdain of the public good
is unconscionable.
Some Democrats caught Barack Obama’s vision for the future
and assumed that their party would immediately run screaming, with hair on
fire, as fast as it could to the left. But, that is no way to govern the whole
country. That is no way to consider the diverse interests of America’s many
citizens, including our many deeply-conservative neighbors.
