“what the american people hope -– what they deserve -– is for all of us, democrats and republicans, to work through our differences; to overcome the numbing weight of our politics. for while the people who sent us here have different backgrounds, different stories, different beliefs, the anxieties they face are the same. the aspirations they hold are shared: a job that pays the bills; a chance to get ahead; most of all, the ability to give their children a better life.”
I love Anderson Cooper so much. He was talking to a lady who was defending the pastor who said gays and lesbians should be put behind electrified fences and die out. This happened:
- Cooper: I imagine if it was putting Jews behind electrified fences, you'd be saying something different.
- Pritchard: Now, here we go again. We all know that's not gonna happen--
- Cooper: Actually, that has happened. It's called the Holocaust.
I just want this to be fantastic. Mind-blowingly fantastic.
