Dems must reach out to start healing

Now that President Bush has won re-election, the Democrats are saying he must reach out to them to heal the nation.

First of all, it wasn’t the president who created the rift. It’s the Democrats who’ve been angry ever since they tried and failed to steal the election in 2000. Every year since then they’ve been getting angrier and crazier with people like Michael Moore, and his propaganda piece of 59 lies, who has become one of the main spokespersons of their campaign. How does anyone reach out to that?

I hope I’m wrong, but I predict that the far left, and even some regular Democrats, will become so totally unhinged, and go so far off the deep-end in their hatred for George Bush, that they might even become allied with our enemies in the war on terror in an attempt to destroy this president. The near riot in Portland by Kerry supporters on Wednesday is evidence that what I’m writing is the truth. No, it’s the Democrats and the rest of the far left who should be apologizing to President Bush, and asking him “what they can do for their country.” Otherwise they may be stuck forever where they’ve been for the last three-plus years, in the counter culture of the 1960s.
