No one could have stated it better. Bravo. :approve:Too much drama over so little. Life goes on, and somehow I doubt this president will single-handedly destroy this country, as so many in the past were supposed to (With some striking parallels here and there). A decade from now, this will just be another page in the books, accented with the same doomsday talk aimed at presidents of days past.

I actually did speak with my Congressperson. She was not sympathetic.
Anyway, yeah, this is it. Democracy is dead, the whole system is doomed, and there's no hope for humanity. I've also said this about Clinton and Bush I, and my precedesors may have said it about Reagan, Carter, Ford, Nixon, Johnson, Kennedy, and every president before that, but it's SERIOUS this time!

Exactly. This fatalistic future idea pops up all the time. It's just the Dems being sore losers.
Also, how is democracy dead if Bush was voted president? And no one has that cheating fib to hide behind this time around.

We (democrats, that is) lost guys.... time to deal with it. I don't like it either, but you can't do anything but either ignore it or move away. 
Of course, I had been figuring on the fact that Bush was going to win since... well... the candidates were announced. So maybe I just prepared myself all along. Meh. Whatever will be, will be. Roll with it.

Because I said so. Actually, it would have been equally apacolyptic for Kerry to win. Or even Nader. Or Cobb. Or Badnarik. Or Bernie Sanders, not the he ran. I figure if I assume for the worst, everthing that does happen seems a hell of a lot better.

That's a really weird point of view, dude.
Anyways, I think it's kind of funny how all the Democrats feel like they've suffered this terrible defeat and that there's no good in the world and the country's doomed.
Meanwhile, (most) Republicans don't really care. All the ones that I know seem completely unaffected, the election being the furthest thing from their mind.

I'm very proud of living in this country. It's the government that I have a problem with.I'm serious about wanting to move out of the US... Nobody should have to live in a country that they are ashamed of being a part of, under a leader they absolutely hate.
I think it's safe to say by this comment that you and your firends don't realize just how important this election was.Anyways, I think it's kind of funny how all the Democrats feel like they've suffered this terrible defeat and that there's no good in the world and the country's doomed.

Well, there's a good reason the Republicans don't care. Because they're Republicans. They won. Why should they care?

Yeah... but... it's so hot and sunny and bright and warm there. And full of happy people. Psh. That'd be awful! Give me cold arctic tundra with no one around for at least fifty miles and I'm happy!

I guess I'm in the minority of LA because I'm happy that Bush won the election. I know that Shadow feels the same way, but the way things look around here there's only a few of us...

i'm disappointed that bush won, but i saw it coming. if the dems had chosen edwards as candidate, we would have had better odds, but kerry wasn't gonna make it.
that's why i've been making shirts which say:
(front) America
Love it or Leave it.
(back) Auf Weidersan!

I'm happy Bush won as well. And if you'd check the mock election in the Contro board, he won there too. Not by as much, of course. I highly doubt this will destroy our country. Compare us to other countries. How do we stand? Not Canada. That can be disputed. I mean, after all, they have to pay a dollar more for everything up there. XD

Omitting September 11th's direct effect on America, compare the nation before Bush and now.
I used to be proud to be an American. But now, not only is our country led by a cowboy who can't pronounce nuclear, is trying to turn USA into some sort of Christian nation, took us senselessly into a war with "terrorism" and in Iraq, but 90% of the world now HATES OUR GUTS. We used to be the nation that everybody said "hey, America's cool. I wish we could be like them." Now, we're "those damn americans again. who do they think they are?"
The only thing I can think of Bush accomplishing is the capture of Saddam. And I don't even know if that was worth it.
America will only get worse the longer Bush is in office.

Okay about the whole 'Bush is stupid thing'...
HE'S FROM TEXAS. NO ONE TALKS RIGHT DOWN HERE o_o No stupid person has ever graduated from Yale, people!
And pretty much the whole world hated us BEFORE the war on terror. >.<;

I agree with Double's remark. And plus being from Texas myself, I find that remark offensive. And yes, people DID in fact hate America before four years ago.

No, I'm sure the anti-Kerry people would have made poorly doctored insulting photos of Kerry, had he been elected. The mockery's inevitable, really.

No. Seth Meyer's John Kerry is way better than Will Forte's impression of Bush.
Seth Meyers may very well be the next Will Farrel.
