And god bless america...

And bush bless the world...

4 more years :bleh: :bleh: :bleh: :bleh:

After yesterday's election, now it's clear to me how people like Hitler have come into power in the age of populist politics:

1. Voters just want to hear what they want to hear, irrespective of reality
2. Voters will vote for their party's candidate no matter how poor of a job they have done, even if they are destroying their own country

I won't be surprised to see more terrorist acts committed against Americans now, as we are now hated more internationally than we have ever been.

Bush can't unite the people of the U.S. or the world. Too many people dislike him. With Kerry nobody hated him they just were not sure where he stood and bought into the flip flop marketing campaign Bush labled him with. Kerry at least stood a chance of uniting the country and the world. Oh well. Nothing can be done now for another tragic 4 years. :shakehead:

Nah, plenty of people hated Kerry. I think if they had pulled Gore or some other candidate it might have been a different story. Personally I think Wes Clark would have been a pretty good candidate. But c'est la vie. Too bad Kerry conceded, cause there are so many provisional and absentee ballots to be counted (which usually favor the Democratic candidate). I guess since Bush has a decent lead in Ohio, Iowa, AND New Mexico that he figured it was over.

4 more years, and maybe we'll be seeing Chief Justice Antonin Scalia. Indeed, I think America is definitely ruled by fear and religious fervor. One look at the exit poll results and it's pretty clear. Christian conservatives have become enough of a base where one doesn't really even need the rest...

damn. they are blocking off my way to the food court at my work, which also happen to be where bush is having his victory announcement today. all these damn secret srvce people....well, i guess no sushi today, guess i'll have to go out the bulding to grab a bite.

I took some pics of the place but i can't host them because all my pic hosting accounts ran out of bandwidth. if you want to see them, you'll have to help me host them so others can see. :mrgreen:

I don't know about this. It seems to me that no matter who the Democrats threw out there, the evangelical Christians would still vote for Bush. The gap in the popular vote might have been smaller, but the middle of the country absolutely love Bush. They believe in what Bush says, no matter what the facts say.

Very valid analysis.

You don't go to the Reagan basement food court, do you?

@dochira: well, if the democrats had a better candidate they might not have lost Florida AND New Mexico...

That is true. Didn't Gore barely have NM last time? And it seems FL will be an important state from here on out.

I can't believe that Bush got re-elected...

but I guess it shows that people don't vote Bush for his actions, but just simply because they are republican.

those people should be ashamed of themselves, partly I don't blame them for not knowing what's happening in the world, but Bush surely hasn't made the world any safer - it's only getting worse

now when I want to go to the US, first they want to strip/search any luggage, now they even want to take fingerprints and in the future Iris scans: welcome to the country that highly values freedom and freedom of speech.

Actually, if there's one thing I'd pinpoint the Democrat loss on, it's San Francisco's Mayor, Gavin Newsom.

He's the clown that started the Gay Marriage stuff, which played right into the hands of the GOP. So many of the conservative and evangelical voters that had be disenchanted with Bush for various reasons... they felt they had to still vote for him or see their interpretation of family values go out the window.

It's not just you. It's a stereotype.

Not the current young generation (20's & 30's). The young generation I'd say are more materialistic and spend more money than their Caucasian counterparts.
