Now that Georgie has lost the Election... - Page 3

I am so bitter this morning. As Happy says, the Republicans are now responsible for the country. I wouldn't call it a silver lining on a dark cloud. It's more like a lighter shade of grey on a dark cloud.

The Democrats need to steal a page from the Republican playbook and focus on one message for the next four years. That the Republicans control the House, the Senate, the White House, and the Supreme Court. The American people have shown that they are stupid. They need to be constantly reminded that the Republicans are in control of everything and deserve all the blame or credit for everything that happens from here on out. I expect it to be blame, but we will see. But the only way the American people will see it is if they are pounded over the head with it almost constantly for the next four years. "The Republicans got you into this situation. This is what they stand for."

Focus on the positives people!

Three very excellent things:

- no terrorism!!!!!
- no October surprise
- no legal battle for the outcome

One good thing:

- jobs report Friday supposed to be sunny

Cheer up, guys. In four years you will have Hilary

Then I will definitely have to move again in search of politics I want

It's times like this I wish Australia didn't have such tough immigration laws.

New Zeland has very decent immigration laws. Canada too, if you're prepared to live in Manitoba or so for a while... So there

I'm not worried about terrorists, I never really have been. I am much more worried about that religious retard who thinks that I am not a citizen because I have no religion.

Thanks, America.

While voting on small things such as taxes and moral issues, we're going to see another four years of a president that supports:

Phone tapping of American citizens without cause.
E-mail and internet tapping of American citizens without cause.
Detainment of American citizens without cause, withouth trial, indefinately.
Restrictions on what you may say in opposition to your government.
Restrictions on how you may express your dislike of your government.
Restrictions on where you may express your dislike of your government.
Further implementations of religious organizations into the federal government that will control how funding is distributed.
Restriction of contracts between people based on their sexual preferences.
Increased support for the WTO, an organization that...
...trumps all local laws.
...trumps all state laws.
...triumps all federal laws.
...trumps the US constitution.
...is composed of an unelected board of people.
...is composed of a board of people whose identities we aren't permitted to know.
...is composed of a board who makes decisions we aren't permitted to read ahead of time or after they are implemented.

Land of the free, my ass. Thanks, America, for voting with your emotions on the petty shit the commercials on TV told you to be concerned with instead of the important stuff. You're going to get the president you deserve.

Think it's time to move back to England.

Fox news just said, and I quote...

"The red states just got redder."

Indeed.

Yeah, but if they'd voted for the other guy, two HOMOS might get married someday, and that trumps everything else, right?

Flickering red flames, I hope. Where's General Sherman when we need him?

Except that there are millions of non-wingnut people trapped in Red Country, and it'd be a helluva job to airlift them all out first.

No, it's time to dig in and defend what's yours.

Undertoad · 11-03-2004, 10:41 AM

Everyone will have their own explanation of what happened, here's mine:

Fahrenheit 9/11 and the ugly 529s were more effective at motivating the opposition than at convincing anyone to change their minds.

move the fuck on already dot org.

That's exactly what I'll be doing by leaving the United States. Protecting what's mine. You know, I don't have alot, I have about 2 carloads of possesions so what's mine is my family.

I have a 16 year old son who graduates in 3 years, when there will most likely be a draft. He'll be carted off to Iraq with other people's children, with a considerable percentage in favor of being maimed or killed, and an even higher percentage that he won't be given the correct amount of training and/or protection for the job he's tasked to perform. He'll make so little that he'll qualify for food stamps.

And all for what? To protect this guy's flawed policies and ego? I don't think so. "Defending America" does NOT equal being in Iraq.
