A Nation Better Than That -- better composed

The dastardly picture of a man wearing a racist T-shirt at a Romney rally that said "Put the White Back in the White House" with a Romney/Ryan sticker on top of the logo says it all as pictures often are worth a thousand words. If one TRULY wants to know the difference between those who occupy the Romney camp and those who are part of the Obama candidacy feast your eyes on that indicting picture one can find all over the net. It truly is what one needs to know when making one's choice for president of the United States.

Whatever the Democratic Party may or may not be it is a party of INCLUSION, diversity and acceptance especially of those in our country's history who have been heretofore shut out of the political process en masse. The Republican Party is a party of EXCLUSION but the Democratic Party makes a home for all. One can see the diversity and feel the welcoming ethos at every Democratic event one attends and I have attended many.

The Republican Party is a party composed of, in large part, white racist radicals, nativists, nationalists and ultra religious Christians in extremis and on steroids. The Constitutional fence of church/state separation would be torn down by them. The Republican Party is anti-women, anti gay, anti immigrant, anti persons of color and anti choice. Simply read the Republican platform to see how extreme this party has become. Those who compose the Republican Party are trying to hang on to the last vestiges of white privilege. We, in the Democratic Party and those independents of egalitarian heart will not let them because we are a nation MUCH BETTER than that!
