Well, you have a point. I did go overboard in my retaliation and I did not mean to make a generalization on all people voting for Kerry. I honestly believe that the extremes on each side are equally as bad, just the leftists are more angry right now.

So, anyways, I'm sorry.

And, if I may say so, I think Kerry's attempt at rallying some religious vote was more of a gimmick than Bush. I think he truly believes in his religion, but I don't really feel the same about Kerry.

Well that's fairly obvious especially since Kerry claims to be a Catholic and yet has whole-heartedly supported his party's genarally Pro-Choice policies. That was probably my biggest qualm with Kerry. Had Kerry supported the Pro-Life side, he probably would have nailed the Catholic vote and probably scooped up some of non-Catholic Christian vote as well. Before Roe vs. Wade in 1973, Catholics were largely Democrats.

Yes indeed. I loathe politics and I'm glad this is almost over.

I'm moving to Canada. I can't see how a leader can lie to people, blur the seperation of church and state, lose jobs, and still get reelected by almost 3.5 mil of the popular vote. Kerry should have landslided. Complete and utter disbelief of the American people. For shame.

Oh, side note: If I don't move to Canada, I'll be dead in North Korea. It was nice knowing you guys.

Just because you are part of a religion doesn't mean you have to believe everything they believe. Religion is what you make it for yourself. And yes, while you have to have the same core values and beliefs as the religion, some things can change.

As for him being Pro-Choice - the issue with Kerry was for the "what if" cases. Kerry was pro-life, but changed to pro-choice for the election (don't ask me why). But he said that it was because of the cases where an 8 year-old daughter is raped and impregnated by her grandfather, etc. And I understand where the pro-lifers are coming from - and if I were a woman I would never abort my own child - but I still think that it's wrong to tell other people what to do.

But we all know the issues, let's not get into a debate about abortion. All I wanted to say was that people are flexible, religion is not.

Am I gloating? Gee, I didn't notice.

After being in the arguments I've had here with a multitude of people, and myself often times being the lone vocal supporter of the President (save for Blackman of late, Crono and Acebot44 off and on), you're damn right I'm gloating and screaming "I told you so".

I suppose you didn't notice the superiority dance I've been doing on the other thread? Well here's a taste.

*breaks into superiority dance like Michael Jackson breaking into a nursery, grabs balls, and walks out of the room like Huggy Bear*

BTW, this is all done tongue in cheek so don't get all that serious on me.

Nah, I definitely still hate you guys...




Really, I'm trying not to care anymore, I just have to deal with it all day because 95% some percent of the campus I'm at voted for Kerry, and it's not the happiest place to be right now.

All of your comments have been a little overboard for a few months now. Thankfully the election is over now and we can move on.
