The rightwing are the great dividers. Rove's entire strategy for winning/stealing elections is to first divide voters roughly 50-50 using wedge issues and avoiding real issues we all care about. Then come the smear campaigns, then comes the cheating. The real dividing started in the late 90's when the rightwing couldn't beat Clinton or find anything he'd done wrong so they decided to invent as many imaginary high crimes as they could. Billionaire misers like Gulf Oil's Mellon Scaife (who also funds Newsmax and David Horowitz's fascist attacks on our universities) paid for it. It really was a big rightwing conspiracy. And it resulted in stopping our government for almost a year while the rightwing searched Bill CLinton's underwear drawer sniffing for semen stains. This while Mellon Scaife, Gingrich and Livingston were all cheating on their wives regularly and in a much worse fasion than Clinton. Then came the smearing of McCain to get GW nominated, the all-big oil ticket, the Enron phony energy crisis which was a 50 billion dollar ripoff, then the fixing of the 2000 election in Florida after Bush-Cheney spent that entire campaign lying and misrepresenting their true agenda. Then after that it got even worse. So Obama represents a possible clean break from all that garbage. And I believe 90% of the country desperately wants it. Our democracy certainly needs it.
