How do you believe the USA may bring itself together and heal its divisions after the contentious 2004 presidential ad national elections??? why?....
"How"?
A lot more fiber in the National Diet.
"Why"?
Think about it.

1. By killing foreigners, especially Arabs.
2. Notoriously short attention span of any generation bought up on TV.
My opinion in the aftermath?
Thank God it is over. It seems this was the longest and most tedious campaign I ever witnessed in my 70 years on this planet.
And....I am glad we have an administration who will stay the course set in the first term.
The United States is not going to bring itself together and heal its divisions as long as Bush continues his arrogant policies that many of us see as disasterous to the country we love.
Bush is already talking about "staying the course" and saying "I earned political capital and I am going to spend it".
I guess I should moderate my position a bit and say "It aint gonna happen unless Bush truly reaches out to find common ground with the progressive part of America." But, for this Bush would have to display reason and compromise.
Based on Bush's history and his present statements, this is bloody unlikely. His idea of compromise is "I will tell you again what you should think."
But the values, integrity and future of my country are more important that a superficial veneer of patriotic unity.
If you are asking me to abandon the very things that make America great, it ain't gonna happen.
"If you are asking me to abandon the very things that make America great, it ain't gonna happen."
Wouldn't think of it. But you might examine the real reasons why your view of those things, as expressed by Mondale, Dukakis, Gore and Kerry, was rejected by the electorate.

Factually, I was talking about my view of those things as expressed by Jefferson, Thoreau, Martin Luther King and Roosevelt.

Those views would be good for the Dems to espouse.

They would be even nicer for the Reps to espouse.

Agreed.
Wow! Looks like we have reached unity!.
At least here.
I believe President Bush did reach out during his first term, and it only resulted in backstabbing from the Dem leadership. How about the liberal left reaching out to the rest of us with some reasoned arguments and open debate rather than running to liberal judges to try to force your agenda down our throats? Or would you prefer not to allow 'we the people' to decide on matters?
Come on Idaho,
We were doing so well here...
I was specifically thinking about FDR, but Teddy was OK too...
Teddy was pretty racist IMO. FDR was ok but he died too soon....
Stumble It!
