From Democrats.org: should America be a place where women are treated fairly? Where Muslims and others can seek refuge? Republicans don't think so!

So, another GOP debate has come and gone. And, once again, it only served to reaffirm my resolve to elect Democrats in 2016.

Because the truly terrifying fact is that one of the candidates we saw on stage last night is going to be the Republican nominee for president. And here's a sampling of what they believe: America is not a place for Muslims to seek refuge. America is a place that should not allow women to serve in the military -- because we're not capable. America is a place where we put up walls to keep away those who seek out the American Dream.

Well, here's what I have to say:

We will welcome refugees with the open arms that this country was founded upon -- and do so without compromising our safety. We will treat men and women with equal respect and dignity -- and emerge stronger for it. We will not deny access to the opportunities that this great nation can provide.

Or to sum it up another way: We will not accept the hateful and divisive rhetoric that has become the standard of today's Republican Party. We will stand up for the values that we share as Democrats -- and we'll do everything in our power to advance those values and protect the progress we've made under President Obama.
