Please express my heartfelt thanks to Michael Moore for helping re-elect President Bush.

Voting for Bush because of Michael Moore is like voting for Kerry because of Lush Limbaugh. If Moore or Limbaugh made up your mind, if *either* was your main motivation, maybe you really are a moron. Ask around.
What we learned is that if one party claims for itself *everything* that is good at the most basic and personal level (family, freedom, faith) while projecting onto the other party everything that is bad (weakness, duplicity, corruption), those who say they are good and their enemies are bad will persuade some people. The 55.5 Million who voted for Kerry were not persuaded. The 80 Million who did not vote may not have been persuaded. Three percent is a mandate for caution.
The Radical Right has hammered a wedge into the heart of the nation for at least 12 years (think Gingrich and the impeachment of Clinton) using some of the most incendiary language (think Limbaugh). Now, after a brutal campaign in which no one can think Bush/Cheney/Swiftvets took the high road, we’re all supposed to be nice again. You can show us how it’s done in two years. You reap what you sow.
