I feel mostly the same way. I've always voted and always felt good about it... but after standing in line for 3 hours to vote... being sure that schmuck wouldn't be elected again.... and then having him win... I have to wonder wny I bothered at all.
Eat me... Not that bush is the greatest guy. But Kerry (a guy that has changed his opinion about Iraq at least 3 noteable times) really isnt much better. People should just drop the bullshit and read the platforms. Fuck, y'all are a bunch of retarded, television influenced dum dums.
Dude, if I were talking about the war in Iraq, you'd be right. I'm not. I'm talking about the constitutional rights that were removed by the USA PATRIOT Act. I'm talking about Bush's plans for gay marriage, abortion, the supreme court appointees, and tax cuts. The candidates are very different on these issues.
"Nearly every person in this country is worse off than 4 years ago, we have proof that he lied to start a war that had nothing to do with WMD or terrorism, and he is an absolute moron. "
Judgemental?... Not about the war in Iraq. So why would you mention it? And what proof do you have about the WMD's tell that to the EOD group that pulled up 20 cases of mustard gas from a lady's back yard.
Why would I mention it? Because the Bush administration used questionable evidence and reasoning to go into Iraq in the first place. Hell, I'd go as far as to say that he lied to the American public in order to gain their support for the invasion. Hell, I was for the invasion based on what they said was going on there. Knowing now what they knew then, I think Bush should have been impeached, let alone lost the election.
As for supporting the troops, etc., hell yes we should support the troops. You guys are over there now risking your lives for the Iraqi people; you need all the support you can get. Support from the French, the Germans, the Russians, the U.N., etc along with support from home. Support from home like Humvees with actual armor and flak jackets. Support like an actual plan to "win the peace" rather than just fancy hand-waving and testosterone.
As for the mustard gas, do you have a reference for that? I don't remember hearing about it, and it seems that the Bushies would probably want to publicize that.
i did not vote in this election, as i am still a minor, but my eldest sister voted nd promised to move to canada if Bush won. she is not holding through because she is going to colege, but hey, i think you're making a damn good point.

i'm from saskatchewan and let me tell you, there could be no better place. well, there probably are tons of better places, because saskatchewan is small and full of hicks, but you will find some really great people and some really fun parties. aside from the odd few, the people here are pretty laid-back, and hey, barely anyone gives a shit if you're smoking pot :P

Yeah, I have a bunch of Canadian friends (mostly in Ontario), so I've spent quite a bit of time in Toronto, Ottawa, Hamilton, Montreal, Vancouver, Edmonton, and Calgary. While I hated the weather in Alberta (and therefore probably Saskatchewan :) ), the people and the attitudes in every one of those places were awesome.
I just have to find a job there with the pay and benefits that I have here, which will be hard.
And while I don't smoke pot, I think it's incredibly hypocritical to make that illegal and keep alcohol and tobacco legal.
