I don't care what celebrity endorses who.......
.....and I don't care what their reasons for supporting any candidate are.....or what some people think their reasons may or may not be.

When I am considering what candidate to vote for I look at the following:

1. Are they a Democrat?
2. Where does he/she stand on the issues?
3. What experience do they bring to the table?
4. Are they electable?
5. If I don't agree with them on all the issues (and I have never agreed completely with anyone on every issue).....can I live with their position on the issues most important to me?

What I also know is that the Democratic Candidate that wins the nomination is going to need a united Democratic Party to stand behind him/her and not a divisive one like I see now being showcased on DU with baiting posts, name calling, slurs, finger pointing, bitch slapping and general childishness with no rational form of debate present on many threads.

I realize that asking the everyone get back to a discussion of the issues is a lot to ask for, but we can at least give it a go?

Thank you.........I now return you to your regular posting.
