The people shown on this video are all sincere in their beliefs, I'm sure. But the ideas they express largely come from the negative advertising and campaigning which has been the basis for at least one side's campaign.
Will these people change their mind's if it turns out that Obama is elected? Will they support a new President and administration in these times of serious national peril? Will the United States really be one "...one nation indivisible"? Ever again?
This type of attitude among fellow Americans isn't just too bad, it's as disturbing as anything I can imagine. This kind of attitude might represent a fatal fracture in our democracy. What's more disturbing is that many of the ideas represented by these people are the result of campaigning to be the leader of the country.We'll reap what has been sown.

I must agree, and you have stated it much more succinctly than I so thank you. It is sad and scary that people felt it was worth going this route in a effort to "win". Not sure any of us have a net/net win with the feelings this has revealed/created.
