Big Red,
Red,
Your comment about a wound opening and the pus draining is an excellent metaphor. You’re right; it’s like the all the venom has to come draining out before the healing can begin. And, no, it’s not all Bush’s fault. Bush is the convenient target of the left’s anger, but if Gore or Kerry had been elected, he would have been the convenient target of the right’s anger. It’s like the country’s anxiety about terrorism, the economy, whatever, is all being channeled into a hatred of people with different political views. I hope the public discourse is more civil in the 2012 election, but I”m not hopeful.
