Like I said, show me the ballots.

If you can prove each and every vote Junior received, then I will projectile vomit for a couple hours and then reluctantly accept him as a legitimate President.

But we both know that can't happen because half of his votes are fraudulent vaporware.

Which state would you like us to take our post-election tour in?

Dude, you seriously need to relax. People voted how they voted.

All those protestors that were suppose to rise up and change things didn't. They didn't. Nice going there. Had a lot of people IM me last night yelling at me that Bush was going to lose, asking me if I had voted. When I asked them, they didn't. THEY DIDN'T VOTE. Didn't care enough to go to the polls and push Bush out. And suprisingly, some of these people were in states that went to Bush. Some great uprising.

Kerry did a good job dominating the North East and 3 states on the West Coast, while Bush pretty much dominated the rest of the United States.

Yes, I will admit this is a good thing. Hopefully both parties can work together toward this end.

It was a good idea, and I think it would have helped a lot in the way of the middle-line manufacturing jobs (Intel, Tektronix, etc) that have been forced to lay off so much of it's workforce due to the profit margins. I can't blame them, really...at the end of the day, it's all about profits, and in my case (working for Microsoft), why should they pay me X dollars per hour for my work when somebody in India is willing to do my job for $7 an hour less? From a business perspective it makes good sense, but the downside is that, on an individual level, it doesn't do me or my family any good...I'm just glad my wife has good employment, otherwise we'd have been up shit creek without a paddle.

Unfortunately, at the end of the day, it all just revolves around money and where you're going to save it at. That, right there, is America's primary problem with it's economy - too much outsourcing because it's so beneficial to corporations.

I wish somebody in Washington would get the hint and start some kind of bi-partisan movement to correct it so that average Americans like myself aren't forced to sit around waiting for the unemployment check because actually WORKING isn't a viable alternative.

I'M BORED! I need something to do with my time, and I'm sure there are other people out there in the same boat I'm in.

There won't be an election in 2008. Or if there is one, it will be about as legit as Saddam Hussein's last election in 2002-2003. This one wasn't far from it.

Not to rain on your parade, but I don't think there's any danger of Bush becoming America's first Emperor over the next four years.

FORD you need to accept that there are a hell of a lot of uninformed, superstitious folk in the US whether you like it or not.

The computer systems didn't beat you, the bible bashers did.

Sad...isn't it. Well America and Busheep; be careful what you wish for....

[Big Train]

Please tell me how you figure that it was fair or legit. Please tell me..cause I do want to hear this stupid shit for the next four years.

Now that America is "dead", any thoughts on settling elsewhere?

What I liked about Kerry is his idea to give incentives to companies in America NOT to outsource their jobs. This very thing is what cost me my job with Microsoft, and I've been sitting on my ass ever since that happened.

I work for a Labor Union. The obvious talk around my office is what backlash are Unions gonna see now? It wont be very good, but, Bush has done nothing for working men and women in his first 4 years, except take away their rights to overtime pay,export good paying jobs, delete the right to collective bargaining( employee free choice act) and appoint an anti-union labor secretary! So, the entire labor movement got behind Kerry. Why wouldnt we!

The next 4 years will be the darkest in American history for people who just simply try and earn a living a take care of their families.... god help us!

Yeah, we pretty well smoked Bush here in Oregon, but surprisingly enough the "Man + Women = Only Legal Marriage" measure passed, too - that struck me as REALLY odd, because we're a very gay/lesbian friendly state, particularly Portland.

I thought for sure that was going to go through really easily...surprisingly enough, it didn't.

Ford,

You could always move. Why not try Canada? You can pay 60% in taxes there.

Are you ready for Hilary in 2008? Democrats have better find someone better than her. Obama won't be the answer either. Republicans are going to need help also.

As Americans we need to try and convince our leaders to reach across the isle and get some work done. I voted for Bush yesterday. I voted for what we know is going on, rather than the unknown that Kerry submitted.

Kerry already said he could NOT stop the outsourcing of American jobs overseas. He's right, no President can affect this one way or the other.

"export good paying jobs". Yeah, I seem to recall him saying that. Right.

I'm concerned as well. But I tell you what - if it gets to the point where we simply CANNOT take care of ourselves any more, we'll just hop in the van and move up north.

What we WON'T do is sit around complaining on the DLR Army about it. :D

[DLR'sCock]

Everything that has gone wrong in the USA and gone wrong in the world because of the USA for he last 4 years is the fault of the lying stealing cheating repukes....you have controlled it all, and it will be YOUR FAULT for everything that will go wrong in the USA and in the world because of the USA for the next 4 years....

Reasons why the Repukes "won"....

Lying
Cheating
Stealing
Bullshit electronic voing machines WITH NO PAPER TRAIL....
Homophobia
Racism
Denial of Civil Liberties for all....


Oh, and the fucking brainwashed 100 million evangelicals in this country who claim "moral values" as the most important "issue"...

But Thou Shalt Not Kill and Thou Shalt not Steal are not too important I guess????



The deaths of every American soldier(1100+) and every Iraqi citizen(100,000+)....is a result of YOU pulling the trigger...

If so, I'd like some maple syrup, please.

You want me to believe George Bush Jr won this election?

Then you show me EVERY SINGLE MOTHERFUCKING BALLOT with his name on it. Not a printout from an Access Database at the Diebold corporation.

Not the corrupt word of Jeb Bush or Uncle Tom Blackwell.

Produce the ACTUAL GODDAMNED BALLOTS.

What, you can't do that?

Then you can't prove Junior won shit.

Yep. The overwhelming outpouring of conservatism was rigged. I suppose Tom 'Don't let the door hit you in the ass' Daschle's race was rigged as well...

[DLR'sCock]

Oh yeah....how come the Exit Polls were all wrong???? The exit polls had Kerry winning this thing....


Freedom, right....

I heard on the radio this morning that only 1 in 10 people between the ages of 18-24 actually voted. That is apalling.
