Preach it Brother Bill

This is the first time in a while that I've agreed with Bill Clinton:

Bill Clinton, in an exclusive interview with Robin Roberts, said he thinks Democrats are torn between two candidates they like, and that it's time to "chill out" and let the voters decide who should be the party's presidential nominee.

"The voters get to decide. I think we should just celebrate this," Clinton said. "If we just chill out here and let all the voters have their say, my gut is it's gonna come out all right."

"They got two candidates, they basically like them both, and they have different strengths," he said. "And they have to decide which skilll set is more important, number one, for the country's welfare in the long run, and which one is more likely to be elected. And you know I have my strong convictions, but I might be wrong."

It would be nice if the tone and tenor of this debate could be ratcheted down, especially considering the next contest is over a month away. Not that I've been exactly innocent in the matter, but for all the rhetoric between the two sides, the truth is the guy on the other side of the aisle is offering four more years of a stagnant and incompetent Government, which our country can ill afford.
