No. Using this tipping point in history as a "gotcha back!" is childish, short-sighted, and destructive. As the others said, it just adds to divisiveness. We want to make America a better place, not "stick it to those jerks". Baggage, baggage, baggage.
Can we live in a world where people try to stop the cycles of divisiveness between the parties, so we can instead reach for solutions to real problems?
Yes we can.
On another note - one of my younger brothers, a registered Republican and definite conservative, has told me that if Obama got the nomination, he'd get his vote in November, despite the fact that he probably does not agree with him on a single issue. He told me that he believes in Obama's leadership, and that that's what we need now. I was shocked to hear that he'd actually vote Democrat.
