Those electronic voting doodads seem shady to me. I hear they can be hacked quite easily.

I wonder if any vote tampering took place.

I weep for the world

Well, Kerry has conceded, and this means that hese next four years are going to be very sad, just like the last four. Again, I reiterate...51% of America are asshats.

I get hell for calling Bush supporters "uneducated superstitious wackos" but no one cares about "asshats?"

Eh, I just made the post.

I don't know. I'm still upset about this, and I'm still having a hard time accepting this defeat. I just cannot believe that so many people want to put that man back in office after all the things he has done. So many people polled nationally believed that the war in Iraq wasn't going well at all (a 60-70% I believe) yet they vote for the candidate that has more or less caused this mess? I just do not understand it and never will, but again, politics have never affected my personal life all that much so far, and hopefully they won't now either, but it's still dissapointing.

I'm dissappointed too but I also feel an overwhelming sense of relief that it's finally over. I've been wound up for weeks. And I do see a light at the end of the tunnel as we will have no more Bush after 2008 (Jeb has promised not to run).

Crono told me a long time ago that the only flaw with democracy is that it is ruled by the majority, and the majority of the people are stupid.

There has never been a finer display of this than now. I cannot believe Kerry lost. Me and my dad are extremely dissapointed. We had a mock election last week in school, and Bush won it by two votes, and I hoped it wasn't a bad omen.

Today when I got to school there were a BUNCH of people celebrating because Bush was ahead. Every time I said I was for Kerry there would be a few people look at me with disgust. I asked them why they were so strongely supportive of Bush. I KNEW what they would say. I KNEW exactly what they would tell me, and that's why I ask. What did everyone say?

"He's against the queers!"

I gave them hell for that. I dont feel like I really need to exlplain why. But I will anyway. I simly replied, "Well, if your side wins, and Bush is re-elected, and he DOES make gay marriage illegal, what then? How did that help you any at all? How did you benefit from it? Maybe instead of paying attention to this big "major" issue that the media is feeding you, you should actually look into what he stands for. If you're still with him, then I'll respect you."

I am willing to bet that 90% of the people in Kentucky that voted for Bush voted for him because he was against Gay marriage.

I dont mind Bush supporters. I just hate the fact that my state is so incredibly stupid.

Against the gays are they? If someone was dumb enough to still be arguing against me at that point I played off of what I knew they did that was considered a "sin". All this "anti gay" supporters liked to preach to me that God damned some guy in the bible to hell for being homosexual. So I just replied, "Have you ever lied? Been jealous? Had premarital sex? If you have, then you are on the same level as homosexuals in God's eyes, because a sin is a sin, and if you want the bible to dictate our laws, then ALL of that has to be illegal."

I just wanted to vent that.

I'm so dissapointed. All this bad media Bush has gotten over the past four years. I dont want to see any more of it. None. America elected him.

At least I can vote in the next election.

I do believe I gave the finger after my superiority dance.

Besides, its so hard to get upset over such childish namecalling when your boy just got installed for the next 4 years.

*continues superiority dance, moons the room, and walks out like George Jefferson after calling his neighbor a "honky"*

You should be proud Neo. I really do hold your opinions with more respect because you just don't throw up ridculous names at people you don't understand, even if I don't agree with your opinions. Thats why I contradicted you earlier.

No hard feelings and all that shebang. It's been an honor butting heads.

Neo · 11-03-2004, 02:16 PM

No hard feelings. The results are what they are and I accept them. I'm sure Bush will do his best to reach out to the democrats.
