Ewwwwwwww, my mum is watching The View and the stupid young blonde says she feels "safe" and "happy" now that Bush won. Safe? Yes that seems like a great word to use.

sidekick · #9 (**permalink**) Nov 04, 04

if by 'safe' she means THIS WORLD IS GOING TO HELL.

then yes, i agree with her.

I have not once met an American that likes Bush. Where do they all come from?

That's a pretty broad statement considering that just over 50% of the votes were for him.

^ haha.

You know, Nader makes me angry, too.
I can only imagnine that had Nader not run, his supporters would have voted for Kerry, which could have made a difference.

It makes me sooooo mad that only 1 in 10 of voters 18-34 voted. What a waste! We are given the right to vote so that WE, THE PEOPLE, control who rusn the country! However, if a large percentage of the voters don't vote, then what the hell is the point of being given that right? It makes me want to tear out my hair! gaaaaah!

Here is an article that was in the Guardian, where the paper encouraged some prominent British figures to write to US citizens in an attempt to give them a reason to vote against Bush.

Here's a follow up article to these letters by some American's. There's a lot of very closed minded folks in the US.

The thing is that the political segregation in America is just going to get worse. With no major opponent on the global arena for Mr. Joe America to be worried about, he falls back on ethics and, in a nation as politically divided as the U.S.of A., the infighting will worsen.

It wouldn't surprise me if America eventually divides into two seperate nations if they don't come up with another Cold War enemy in the next decade.

After the cold war they realized that real enemies can be to hard to control and invented the war on drugs. Now we have the war on terror. People are scared shitless and more than willing to coperate with the powers that be.

Speaking of Ohio

So here's a truck taking some votes away from an Ohio polling station. Look at the sticker in the bottom left hand corner of the truck's back window.

I mean, how tough can it be to beat a human being like bush at a game of wits. He has a single digit IQ for god sakes.

Senior · #22 (**permalink**) Nov 04, 04

Bush got something like a 1250 on his SAT's and so so grades at Yale. A 1300 I believe would make you eligible for Mensa and while C's are not amazing grades Yale isn't some community college giving the shit away. All this while he was piss drunk 24/7 and maybe even on DRUGZ...

From the south. Damn uneducated rednecks.
These are the same people who think abortions should be banned, the people that own rifles which sit in a case beside there 1 yr old babies and the kinda people that believe being gay is a crime.
Why do people like this exist?
But I also have a different theory...that It's all a huge conspiracy,I swear to god. I don't think any normal citizens votes are counted,its all fixxxed.
