"Unite" will not be an option. Cf. Thomas Sowell's "Obama and 'The Left'" (emphases added): A candidate who spends two decades promoting polarization and then runs as a healer and uniter, rather than a divider, forfeits all trust by that fact alone. If Ronald Reagan had attempted to run for President of the United States as a liberal, the media would have been all over him. His support for Barry Goldwater would have been in the headlines and in editorial denunciations across the country. No way would he have been able to get away with using soothing words to suggest that he and Barry Goldwater were like ships that passed in the night. If Barack Obama had run as what he has always been, rather than as what he has never been, then we could simply cast our votes based on whether or not we agree with what he has always stood for. Some people take solace from the fact that Senator Obama has verbally shifted position on some issues, like drilling for oil or gun control, since this is supposed to show that he is "pragmatic" rather than ideological. But political zig-zags show no such moderation as some seem to assume. Lenin zig-zagged and so did Hitler. Zig-zags may show no more than that someone is playing the public for fools. Some people who see the fraud in what Obama is saying are amazed that others do not. But Obama knows what con men have long known, that their job is not to convince skeptics but to enable the gullible to continue to believe what they want to believe. He does that very well.

As long as the left is allowed to persevere in its self-righteous claim to "justice," they will have neither motive nor reason to rein in their own: from Rick Moran's site: [T]here came a point where Obama rejected radicalism as a solution and thought to remake the Democratic party â€“ to mainstream some of his ideas â€“ by adopting the tactics of the New Left (framing social change and economic redistribution as questions of â€œfairnessâ€). This is exactly what the New Party was attempting to do; pull the Democratic party further left by offering up candidates who believed not in Marxism but New Left ideas of â€œsocial justice.â€

#1 is right. Unite what?!? Your time will be better spent anticipating how GOP Senate Judiciary Cttee members can best grill Barry’s SCOTUS nominees.

The Dems (more so than the Reps) have cultivated a variety of left-wing crazies – many with incompatible agendas. I’ve long wondered how they will “ride that tiger” – I’m afraid we may get to find out.

North Dallas, it took Obama twenty years to repudiate The Reverend Wright…. and, he still says that he didn’t hear what Wright was preaching from the pulpit.

Speaking of the Obamanazis and the media, go to NewsBusters.org and catch FNC’s Megyn Kelly making mincemeat out of The Snob’s talking head. Priceless!

Furthermore, I’ve not seen anything that would lead me to believe that Obama would WANT to repudiate the crazies. It took him weeks to repudiate Jeremiah Wright, and only after it had been made patently obvious that it was utterly killing him.

If Obama is elected, the very first challenge he will face is the avalanche of Left-wing crazies who are convinced that they won him the Oval Office. You better believe that they’ll want the piper to be paid.

There’s a saying that you have to dance with the guy who brought you. Obama can no more repudiate left-wing hate than Howard Stern can repudiate trash-talk.
