i guess i just don't understand.

prepare for war.

for those of you who didn't vote... for those of you who can sit around and complain about the economy, or the war- don't bother to ever open your mouth again.
just... stay... quiet.

to our country: what have we done?

it was actually up 17% more than last election. however, they were expecting a lot more youth to vote...
i'm so ashamed.
i'm ashamed of our generation for not giving a damn.

"An estimated 9 percent of voters Tuesday were 18 to 24, about the same proportion of the electorate as in 2000, exit polls indicated. The youth vote accounted for 17 percent of turnout when broadened to the 18-to-29 age group, also about the same share as in the last presidential race."

that's from cnn.com
i knew i had heard the 17% figure somewhere.

and i agree. i'd figure people were pissed enough about the last election to want to be apart of the process but i suppose not.

i think it was everyone across the board that were pissed off. then again, 25% of voters in ohio declared themselves as evangelical christians. compassionate conservatism MY ASS.

i'm sad about the lack of a factor younger voters seemed to be. it really felt like i was part of some sort of movement -- but sadly, a movement that never materialized.

Some of you Americans are so badly informed. kerry said that he would not end the war but fight it harder and better then Bush. So learn something before you make your opinions.

i would rather kerry fight an efficient war and get our boys home than have bush dick around in iraq for money.i never said kerry would stop our war, but i do believe he would "wrap it up"- so to speak.

i have learned something. i've learned a lot. and i'll carry it with me for the rest of my life.

us spending our money on having our toops there is hardly helping us. we need to get money in an honest fashion instead of taking it from the middle east anyway. we SHOULD cancel that stupid space program to mars and use those billions of dollars to fix our education system, since no child left behind is CRAP, and we could also use that money to get some of our jobs back from other countries. you cant say that shit isnt a problem considering my dad has lost every job he's had in the past 12 years to another country. and who is this war employing anyway? jack shit, thats who. the only people it DOES employ are naval ship builders and anyone that supplies the army with anything, which is hardly anyone. you're the first european ive met that actually approved the war in the mid east. considering my girlfriend and her entire family is english, then yes, i HAVE gotten several opinions from europeans and not just the english either. americans are fucked in the eyes of europe either way. you guys think its great for us to help out but not if ( ... )
