One thing Edwards stated really got to me. [View All]

Yes I did say I was going to take a break from DU, but as I watched Sharpton and Edwards dog pile on Dean I had to post something.

Out of the constant spew from Edwards he stated Dean had no right to address southern problems because HE was from the north. This saddens me because it truly shows how our nation is divided by borders. There shouldn’t be a southern issue, a western issue, or a northern issue. Under Edwards’ logic, he has no right addressing the unemployment rate, the poverty rate, and the horrors of rustbelt cities. He has no right addressing the drought issues that has continually plagued the western United States. He has no right addressing the fire issues that have wiped out millions of acres of western-American forests. The United States should be just that; a uniting of ALL states. The north, south, east, and west should unite to collectively lift the US from the problems of today.

Dean’s comments were not about racial driven hatred. They were about an ignorance that hampers the minds of typical southern voters. These feelings are driven by the right-wing of this country to further divide us from each other. To stop hatred, you must unite. You can not hope to bestow the nation with peace when you continually divide it. Edwards’ remarks do divide this nation into regions and that is wrong. For far too long the Republicans have played to the division of the south and it must end.

Shame on Edwards for making division an issue!
