Why, yes, Greg, that's exactly what I meant. That, and calling Republicans murderers, racists and fools. Blind prejudice is not confined to the right. Let's face it, the left has failed to frighten the conservatives by insulting them and, more succinctly, angry invective has not moved the great centerist majority. It just turns them off. Spouting off may cleanse your soul but so will a decent laxative. The key to communication is respect and that means respecting people with whom you disagree. I think you will find that people can agree on some things and disagree on others. I, for instance, am not anti-war but I oppose the Iraqi War because it is foolish, unproductive and unwinnable. So, I voted for the only candidate who said he would pull out of Iraq and, no, it sure wasn't Kerry. (I understood that the difference between a Bush administration and a Kerry administration would be a hell of a lot less than you guys were hoping for. I would have voted for a Howard Dean but you know that the Democrats would never nominate anyone with a real agenda.)
