Whatever our strategy is, we all want the same thing. To make our ideals into the reality of the country. It is only because Bush is so radical and so removed from where our country should be that we are so bitterly divided on HOW to destroy his legacy and replace it with one worthy of this country's citizens.

So please folks, if you can't respect the message of an idealist or a realist, at least respect the idealist or realist as a person. Empathy is a liberal trait, and we are all showing far too little of it.
