    But he has a point...

    The constant hatred of democrats twoards anyone that doesn't feel the same way and obvious Bush Bashing (War Room is an EXCELLENT example) isn't going to get democrats in power. This is why in 2006 and 2008 I'm not expecting a change. In 2004 it was a foregone conclusion, the country hates Bush and there is no way he'll win. Look what happened. We were so stuck in our Blog bubbles and believed what our miniature world thought, was what everyone though.

    This constant tearing down of the other side has to stop. It isn't building bridges between the parties. Not everyone is a fanatic. Connecting with the opposite side and trying to get them to listen to our ideas is the correct way to go about this, not bashing them and telling them they are in the same group of idiots as Bush. They will only shut you down and believe even more in what they do now.
