Excellent article, CharleyMane. Do the dems out there have any thoughts on this? How do you (dems) justify Gore's position?

Almost? Hell Paul Begala declared war on all the red places on the map in no uncertain terms. We've got to start understanding, these people mean exactly what they say. Tens of millions of good people in Middle America voted Republican. But if you look closely at that map you see a more complex picture. You see the state where James Byrd was lynch-dragged behind a pickup truck until his body came apart--it's red. You see the state where Matthew Shepard was crucified on a split-rail fence for the crime of being gay--it's red. You see the state where right-wing extremists blew up a federal office building and murdered scores of federal employees--it's red. The state where an Army private who was thought to be gay was bludgeoned to death with a baseball bat, and the state where neo-Nazi skinheads murdered two African-Americans because of their skin color, and the state where Bob Jones University spews its anti-Catholic bigotry: they're all red too. This is almost a declaration of war against the half of the country that didn't vote for their man. Talk about a coarsening of public life.
