Poll question: Truth and Reconciliation Commission for the Far Right
When Democrats regain control of government, should they establish a Truth and Reconciliation Commission for right wing extremists?

1. Yes
Far Righties, come forward, confess your crimes, be exonerated. Let's clean the slate.

2. Truth: The Road to Reconciliation
It won't be easy. For some, "it's hard work" indeed.

3. No,by there very nature right wing extremists...
....will try and stop us at every turn and be suspicious of everything Dems do,spin it into an extreme negative.Now if your talking about trying to reconcile with some of the more moderate right wingers that supported Bush maybe(and I am loathed to say that but right now my feelings about Bush and his supporters are very intense)but the far right wingers will always see us as the enemy.To quote an historian "a wolf is still a wolf even if you choose to call it a sheep".They will always treat us as enemies and act accordingly we must never forget that.

4. Other - how about providing some de-programming of extremists.

I'm not kidding.

It'd go a long way to re-unite people in this country.

Sanity, logic, science living in harmony with faith and spirituality.
