Here's an interesting article in the LA Times about Hillary Clinton's friendship with John McCain. What I found even more interesting was the following comment buried in the discussion area:
I've never trusted Hillary Clinton and this just proves, to me, that she's not worthy of trust. To abandon what principles she has and cozy up to someone who is (or at least would have been, had she gotten the nomination)her avowed enemy, is the true mark of treason.
Not surprising at all, to see a major political figure in bed with the opposition - or maybe that's what American party politics is all about. If so, then Obama has a lesson to learn, and we're all in more trouble than we think.
Yes...that's the brave new world some Obamabots want to see: Where it is outright treason to simply talk to and befriend someone from your own country who just happens to be in the opposing party.
Hey Dave, in case you hadn't noticed, the Civil War ended over a hundred years ago. It's a positive thing when party members can reach across the divide and work together. We need more of that in this country, not less!
So I guess, in the minds of some Obama people, if you happen to so much as like a person who is a Republican, you should be tried for treason. I don't know about you, but I find this sentiment to be downright scary!
I'm sure not all Obama supporters feel this way, but there's definitely a push towards this totalitarian thinking from the far left lunatic fringe that believes that all Republicans are an "enemy" that should be defeated like Al Qaida. Their idea of "unity" is that we all believe everything they believe and fall into step.
So much for Obama being the "great uniter." Hillary and McCain has actually shown through their own friendship that they are the ones truly capable of uniting this country, going past all the old partisan political BS.

Wasn't it Hillary in a debate who tried to blast Obama for saying something positive about Ronald Reagan?
It was her, not some idiot supporter, and she had to twist and torture Obama's words to do it, too.
Obama: "The Republican approach I think has played itself out. I think it's fair to say the Republicans were the party of ideas for a pretty long chunk of time over the last 10 or 15 years, in the sense that they were challenging conventional wisdom. Now, you've heard it all before. You look at the economic policies, when they're being debated among the presidential candidates, it's all tax cuts. Well, we've done that, we've tried it."
Clinton: "I have to say, you know, my leading opponent the other day said that he thought the Republicans had better ideas than Democrats the last ten to fifteen years. That's not the way I remember the last ten to fifteen years.
"I don't think it's a better idea to privatize Social Security. I don't think it's a better idea to try to eliminate the minimum wage. I don't think it's a better idea to undercut health benefits and to give drug companies the right to make billions of dollars by providing prescription drugs to Medicare recipients. I don't think it's a better idea to shut down the government, to drive us into debt."
There's a difference between putting the Reagan years up on a pedestal (at the expense of the Clinton years) and actually being able to maintain a civil friendship with your "opposition." Obama has not shown he is able to be friends with those he dislikes, as evidenced by his treatment of Clinton herself.
Here is another quote from that article :
"The fact is, many of her 18 million supporters may not go for Obama. Wouldn't it be an amazing end scenario to an amazing political season if the working-class supporters, especially women, of the Clinton who so many Republicans love to hate helped elect the GOP senator from Arizona that so many Republicans have their own doubts about?"
"of the Clinton who so many Republicans love to hate"
Yeah, and a lot of Obama supporters hate the Clintons too. And a lot of Republicans hate McCain. So I don't see that Republicans hating Hillary is any good reason to not vote McCain, considering how many Obama fans contributed to her downfall through their outright sexism and hatred towards her.
