Can we survive the next four years?

Neo, this has to be probably one of your most ridiculous, elitist snob posts I have seen.

Firstly, attacking the christian right and making it their fault is mean-spirited. I simply believe that the fact that this election meant something more to them than hating the other candidate that they came out to vote. The fact that banning gay marriages was on the ballot also brought many out in force. Secondly, your perception of the rural community is crude. I cannot believe that you would blaim this Kerry failure on anyone else but your OWN CANDIDATE. He didn't have the spirit, the charisma, and the spunk to get people out to vote, and thats the hard truth that all Democrats have to face.

Your post is absolutely slanted, speaks on tons of assumptions you and others have made about George Bush, and is designed to spread the divide that separates our country.

This really angers the hell out of me. Why, when the republican analysist was asked if he would follow Kerry, he begrugingly said something like, "well, if it comes to that, I would." But when a Kerry official was asked the same thing about Bush, they basically denied to the end that Kerry couldn't lose and said that following Bush is not an option? It is because people like you who keep perpetuating the idea that all the problems in our nation and abroad are created by one man. I am absolutely appalled that Democrats, liberals, Bush-Haters, are so ready to divide our nation further if Bush wins because you are a bunch of pompous snobs that wonder how anyone could vote for him when all their efforts to put every problem on his shoulders have been used.

Guess what? If Kerry wins (he still has a slim shot), I would be upset that my candidate didn't win, but I would follow him and try to support him because that is the American thing to do. We have to support our president, whoever he is, because these are hard times.

Sorry I wasn't trying to be an elitist snob. But no one is more elitist or snobby than a conservative christian fundamentalist. The difference between me and them is that I admit the possibility that I could be wrong about my beliefs, just like any true scientist. But with them it's "we're right, you're wrong, no matter what, and if you don't follow us you will burn for ever and ever."

It may be crude but it's statistically accurate.

I can't speak for democrats or liberals. And when it comes down to it I will support the president. If I got drafted and was ordered to fight I would do so because because I respect the office and believe in our system. I'm not going to go out and protest or question his legitimacy because he's clearly the winner this time.
