One of the things that bothers me most about the whole "obama is a uniter" thing is that this is a guy who too often bashes the democrats as not being [fill in the blank]. The democrats aren't religious enough, the democrats don't do enough, the democrats do too much.
Here's a link on obama

But I gotta tell you, the comments Joe Biden made to his GOP audience that kos front-paged have to take the cake. First off, the comments are racist. But they're only racist because that's what Biden thinks the GOP is. And whatever the GOP is, he's got to be. Why? Because he's a uniter. Which means you support the GOP and fuck the democrats.
Take a look at this article:
http://www.thestate.com/...
Joe Biden says: "The mid-term election may have been a rejection of the policies of this administration," Biden said. "But it was not an embrace of the Democratic program or the Democratic Party. We’re in a state of flux right now and have a lot of problems that need to be resolved."
Just like FOX news, Biden said although the democrats won, they didn't REALLY win, you see..reality does have a liberal bias after all. The article actually, though unintentionally, says this:
"As they say at Fox News, the address was "fair and balanced.""
Way to go. Saying the Democrats didn't win when they actually won. Real balanced. Supporting/promoting racism. Real Fair.
Way to go Biden.
But we're all into Biden today and kos front paged it so I'm not going to go further into bashing Biden. Let's just say this: he ain't gonna be president. Not back then, not now, not EVER. Okay, Joe?
The thing I want this diary to be about is this: whether its Biden, or Obama, Hilary "abortion is a tragedy" Clinton, or Evan "the democratic fringe" Bayh..
The new unity = bashing the Democrats and supporting GOP policies. Given this definition, it won't matter if a dem wins in 2008. Because, they will task themselves with "Bringing people together" by fucking "us" and supporting "them".
Here's my pledge for 2008: if the candidate decides that what America really needs is to kick the Democratic Party in the knees, then that candidate can go back into retirement/congress/senate or whatever hole he crawled out of.
