Mr. Blanks,\nPlease remember that your Chief George W. Bush won the election by less than 5 percent of the popular vote. According to you at least 48 percent of the voting public favors elitism. I would just call it intelligence. You might also keep in mind that the most popular reason people voted for Bush was for fear of terrorism. So to the contrary, I believe that the Bush campaign was much more effective at exploiting the fear tactic to win votes than the Democrats.\nHate? Well there was more than enough on the Republican side.\nYou are right; however, it is not a "time for healing." As a liberal or whatever you would call a voter like myself, it is a time for action more than ever to have my voice heard in a clear and constructive way when possible. We liberals and people to the "far-left" are not going to roll over and acquiesce no more than the people who support the "far-right" policies of the Bush Administration have.\nIn the meantime, in order to show your support to the Chief and his current foreign policy, you might want to enlist and help out in Iraq which help send a war-weary soldier back home to his or her family. Have you ever been to another country?
