Will the RAT party force him to make a FORMAL apology for this miserable insult???

Who gives a damn? Democrat apologies are BS. You know he wouldn't mean it, and no one would believe he did mean it.

Let these people say what they mean and make them stick by it.

For anyone in the GOP establishment to even ask for an apology shows how stupid the "Stupid Party" really is.

Asking for an apology is only part of the rules of society. If someone steps on your toe in line at the grocery store, you look them over and normally, that person would say "excuse me" and you forgive them. You don't haul off and slug them in the jaw!

Society has a what has been a historically sucessful process for reconciling insults (both physical, verbal and oral) and that process is seen by the American public as nomral and honorable.

The process is 1) Offense 2) Recognition of offense by both inflictor and reciepent of offense 3) Opportunity for inflictor to apologize 4) Response of reciepent to either accept or reject the apology.

We, those not directly involved in the action, can then see the quality of the character of EACH individual and use that knowledge in future dealings with that individual and the values they say that they hold dear.

In the view of society, asking for and WAITING for an apology does not hurt you or your character. The longer the time interval before the apology (if it EVER takes place), the worse the offender looks in the eyes of society, and in this case, the eyes of the voters of New Hampshire.
