I personally disliked all the political threads. Not because it's not important (it is) or that people do not have a right (thank God we do!) But I'm here because I thought I had something in common with people.

I guess I would like to keep this site focused on what we have in common...not our differences.

In regards to this thread, I must say I am all for it, being a Republican, BUT if Kerry had won, I can't imagine reaching across party lines to embrace his ideology. So I won't expect too much from our Democratic friends in that regard. Least of all 'Tash.

Wow, so you don't hate me? Awesome.

Isn't it great that we're all better people?

Being that I'm one of the few Republicans inhabiting this board, I sat down at my keyboard looking forward to writing some snarky comments about the events that unfolded yesterday and today. And then it hit me--that would just be incredibly mean-spirited! I can't tell you how many times I've left the boards smarting over a comment about how stupid "my kind" is. I can't even begin to describe what happens to my blood pressure when I read one of Succotash's posts. And although my intent was to post just that sort of rhetoric, I realize that I can't in good conscience do something that hurt me.

My only frustration with this process is that on these boards everyone agrees with everyone else's hatred for Bush. And since we all agree with each other, we can't be wrong. Then all of the sudden the election was rigged or stolen or unfair. No one supports Iraq. No one supports Bush. No one really voted for him. Everyone becomes Bella Abzug, who said, "Who is this Reagan guy? I don't know anyone who voted for him" after Reagan crushed Mondale in 1984.

George W. Bush has won the 2004 Presidential election, both in the popular and electoral vote. The question, though, is where to go from here. Am I going to be all snarky and gloat? No! That only deepens the divide between me and my fellow human beings! I should think that the nation has had just about enough division, and I lay the blame at the feet of the rabid supports of both parties.

I just want to challenge everone on these boards to try to get across the gap that has come between "red voters" and "blue voters". I just can't take the thought of another four years of hate and discontent.

I agree w/ what Kerry said that the country is divided. It needs to heal. We as a country need to come together and support one another and allow the rift between Democrats and Republicans to heal and work together for a stronger, prosperous America. We can't do that if we are constantly moving to counterbalance or block one another.
