At least the Red Sox won

Anyone who knows me know that I was not for Bush. I didn't make any secret of that fact. I will have to say however, that I'm happy about one thing about this election. And that was the voter turn out. Could it have been better? Of course. Until we have 100% turn out it can always get better. But at least more people participated then normal. And ( Read more... )

Wow, Drew? I think I love you.

You just convinced me to not flee the country and instead to rally the forces and keep hitting at Bush hard. I have my assumptions as to why Bush was re-elected, I'd really like to hear some of his supporters tell me one GOOD reason why he is still in office that doesn't involve his War on OIL "Terror".

Actually, Americans were polled and 22% of the people, the highest amount, said they voted for him based on his morals. Most notably his stance against gay marriage. As far as I'm concerned, that's pretty damn sad.

His stance on war only had 19% of the people voting, ecomony was 20%.

22%?! That is really fuckin sad. It's even sadder that 11 states passed a ban on it. Somewhere along the line it is going to be deemed unconstitutional.

Who would vote for him based on the economy? It's so much worse from four years ago when he took over the chair from Clinton. Yeah, lets go and export those jobs so my family can be unemployed.

I agree with you hon. No matter what your election choice was, the fact that we had a large turnout this year is phenomenal!

Don't get off the soapbox, can I join you there? :D
