    Fair enough but the impression it gives when you link to sites which do portray blatent hatrid. Them sites seem to havn't weighed things up properly and just hate bash the other candidate.

    But i've hated Kerry for year and years before this election was even plotted.

    I've always had a firm hatred of anti-vietnam war hippies, Kerry suprised the hell out of me when he even thought of being elected, and when he was nominated i felt obliged to make such a website.

    edited to make more sense in relation to Kerry.

    [edit]although that still doesn't make much sense as a sentence.

    Marine, the thing that disturbs me the most about you is the fact that you state your point elequently and make it seem almost reasonable and rational, and yet i consider your opinions false. it's very frustrating and I just want to congratulate you on proving (to me at least) that not every republican conservative right-wing fundamentalist is unstable.

    Heh, I think I saw that Ohio still had some problems with the votes? And that whoever wins Ohio will have the most electors?

    I think, if I were you, I'd be a little disturbed that someone holding these views is actually clear and confident about something you consider wrong and dangerous. I'd like to believe every Democrat is just crazy and politically uninformed, because it staggers me that anyone could make a conscious vote for Kerry - yet it is not so.

    I'm sure plenty of people voted for Bush so they could keep their massive arsenal of automatic weapons for fighting off the French before Jesus returns, kills all the black people and takes them to heaven - but more have other things as priorities, and they think Bush can deliver on them.

    I dont think of the other side of politics as people who dont understand and are stupid, I think of them who have picked a stand directly contrary to mine. They are not the retarded kid next door who just doesnt understand, they are more akin to calculating enemies of my ideas. This is a war of ideas - and tonight was a solid gain for my side.

    I find it ironic that some of the highest voter number figures came out of this race between two guys that pretty much the whole country who is voting over them hate. I see this election as the proverbial, compleate and total crushing of the dream for america's third party canditates, who were, in all honesty, probably the best alternitive to the bumbling morons you were choosing between.

    How does legalised drugs sound to you? How about cutting and running from Iraq leaving behind a bloody power vacuum sound? How about negotiating with terrorists and pre-emptive appeasement?

    Neither do I, but he asked for the worst. The worst a conservative could do is break the separation of church and state and nuke the entire middle east save Israel. I dont think they'll do that either.

    Ahahahahah yeah, because everyone liked you before, right... right.... oh wait. Americans pretending they had friends - newsflash for yankees, you lost all your friends the second they didnt need you any more aka "collapse of Nazism and Communism".

    Doing what is right is not always popular, doing what is popular is not always right.

    Will be interesting to see how Micheal Moore is going to claim that GWB is an affront to democracy now that hes won both the popular and the college vote - but never fear, hatred will triumph over rationality once again!

    I think you have skewed perception of it. By drugs, you mean marijuahna (whatever)?
    Anyway, I can assure you that leaving behind iraq to a power vacuum is a liberal frontrunner, likewise none of the remainder is true.

    For me, a liberal train of thought represents openness, a way to perhaps level social justice abit more, long-time social investments (pre-emptive crime) while conservatve represents restrictions, on research, on liberty, they are more intrusive. Most of it comes down to the archaic bible which from a logical standpoint should be given as much credit as your average mythos.
    Instant justice, double moral, blind belief, vote on their guts, not their brain.
    And the worst case scenario, societies like iran, syria/middle-east, persons like Osama/etc

    This for me sums up liberals. Of all the absolutely gutwrenching evil on this earth, they cant think of anyone worse. Not for them the rulers of Iran, the butchers of Rwanda, the savage dictators of North Korea, the murders of Sudan, the Taliban fanatics, the Sunni mobrule under Saddam... oh nooooo, they save their anger for the American President.

    No it wasn't. the biggest grassroots rebellion in presidential history didn't change anything. How can one of the most unpopular presidents in history, one who was met with so much dissent, possibly win?

    to be perfectly honest, I'm vastly disappinted with my generation; all you needed to do was vote.


    I'll still stay hopeful (I think Kerry has Iowa and New Mexico). So this ultimately comes to Ohio. It's going to be a long week.

    recall that most who tend to be liberal (i.e Generation X do-nothings) didn't even register to vote. I can guarantee that Liberals in this country outnumber conservatines three to one. It's just a matter of inciting them and getting them to the polling places.

    Unfortunately, that didn't seem to happen despite Bush's massively awful reputation.

    They did vote sunshine - they voted in record numbers. And Bush actually won the popular vote this time around, with the most votes ever in a US presidential election.

    When will you people wake up and understand this is democracy at work. More people with the gumption to get out and vote wanted Bush. Just because there is a whole stack of screaming, protesting and endless editorials slamming the man does not mean everyone hates him. This would explain the puzzled looks on a lot of peoples faces when Bush won. "But didnt everyone hate this guy" - GUESS AGAIN!

    No liberal voter in Australia could quite comprehend it either - the media had been involved in a love affair with the opposition leader, it had pounded howard mercilessly, and he came out on top with an increased majority. In the 2000 election, on 9% of US journalists voted Bush, whilst 39% of the American voters did. These guys dont represent the common man.

    Oh now I understand - if all the irresponsible slugs that hate Bush had found the effort to vote, THEN he wouldnt have gotten back in.... Sorry - but obviously they dont hate him that much if they cant even get off the couch for a couple of hours and punch a hole for Kerry.

    Exactly my point. Record numbers of voters turned out - unfortunately (for the liberals) [b]hey were conservatives[b]. That just makes no sense.

    Tell me this: how can, statistically, the least popular president of all time (based on approval ratings) get the greatest percent of the popular vote of all time?

    Exactly. Sucks, huh? Of course this also doesn't take into consideration the possibly thousands of Peace Corps workers and otherwise overseas civil workers that weren't able to get absentee ballots (coincidentally because the Bush dynasty made it very difficult for them to do so) or the, in all probablility, millions of minorities who were ethnically cleansed from the ballots in Colorado, Florida, and others.

    But yes - exactly. Our generation has betrayed us because they were too damn lazy to vote.
