I'll tell you where I'm coming from. I am so fried. I think the divisiveness and the rabid partisanship and hate that streams from the right (fueled by talk radio and Fox News) is dangerous. I don't think we can continue like this, as a nation.

I think big, bold moves have to be made to solve the big problems our nation faces. Yes, there are so many stances on which Romney is wrong. However, maybe some common ground could be found.

What I really want is for Fox News, Glenn Beck and the rest of the hate circus is to become pterodactyls and stegosauruses. I want them gone. I want their voices silenced. The only way to do that is to galvanize forces from both parties who want to work together for the common good.

Let love rule. Let compassion and bridge building rule the day. It's the only to eradicate this cancerous, sick partisanship that oozes from the right.
