Oh, let's just forgive the Republicans. [View All]

[Cyrano]

I've read columns by a few pundits over the past week or two, to the effect that, after the election, we're all going to have to live together. We therefore must all pull together, find forgiveness and let bygones be bygones.

Nice thought, however, if Bush were to win, how many Republicans do you think would heed this advice?

Conversely, after what's been done to us from the day that Newt Gingrich took power in 1994, through Tom DeLay's reign of terror, through BushCo's attempts to turn us into "weak-kneed, terrorist supporting, traitorous, girly men," are you about to forgive and forget?

Sorry, but I for one won't turn the other cheek. Once Kerry is in office, these swine will hunt him the same way they hunted Clinton and will try to impeach him for jaywalking. We've seen the Republican party for what they are: the enemy of decency, fairness, freedom and democracy.

Forgive and forget? Maybe someday, but not while there's still the possibility that these authoritarian bastards will ever again regain power over our lives.
