    Yes, fine

    Democrats should 'reach out'... hey, it's fun to be Charlie Brown while the Republicans play Lucy holding the football. Maybe we can all wear a giant neon 'kick me again' sign while we do this outreach. Sorry ... count me out. The lying murderous scum running this country should be called lying murderous scum.
