Default A Final Election Assessment

THEY say that in life you get what you deserve. Well, today America has
deservedly got a lawless cowboy to lead them further into carnage and
isolation and the unreserved contempt of most of the rest of the world.

This once-great country has pulled up its drawbridge for another four

years
and stuck a finger up to the billions of us forced to share the same air.
And in doing so, it has shown itself to be a fearful, backward-looking and
very small nation.

SNIP..........


Don't have time to read your entire list of complaints about America....
The only thing that is proven is that you, John Kerry, and the rest of the
sal****er states including the one that I have to live in are out of touch
with the sentiment of the American majority. Much of what you say is
unfounded liberal dribble with a dash of post election blues. I think John
Kerry ran a valiant campaign and looking back, I admit I have a lot of
respect for his efforts and passion.. However, the bottom line still is that
Bush isn't perfect but he is better for America than Kerry at this point in
time. Calling the rest of America "stupid" or saying "they get what they
deserve" is why I'll never be able to move to the left as many of the
liberals I know do not respect the office of the Presidency. I was more than
willing to accept the outcome of the election and move forward with a change
if that is what America decided because I respect the office and the
democratic process. You sound like someone who just "wants it their way".
That to me sounds like a dictatorship or communism. Either way, I would
agree that Bush has a challenge in bringing the country back together..

I'm glad we live in a society where we can have disagreements and move
forward....well at least the majority of us. I hope Canada is not too cold
for you to pursue your cycling aspirations!

huge snip

Oh if only this really were THE FINAL election assessment. But in a typical
liberal move, you overpromise, no doubt. I'm sure the spewing of the
liberal hand-wringing crybaby sore loser crap will go on for quite some time
to come. It probably would be better if you all actually DID go to Canada.
It's funny how much talk there's been about that, but without
follow-through. And doesn't THAT sound like a familiar pattern.

This once-great country has pulled up its drawbridge for another four

years
and stuck a finger up to the billions of us forced to share the same air.
And in doing so, it has shown itself to be a fearful, backward-looking and
very small nation.

This should have been the day when Americans finally answered their

critics
by raising their eyes from their own sidewalks and looking outward towards
the rest of humanity.

And for a few hours early yesterday, when the exit polls predicted a John
Kerry victory, it seemed they had.


And yet...

Gee, do you think the theories about the exit polls could be true? The
theory goes something like this; the vocal minority (hostile liberals) have
been whining the entire term since the "stolen" election. Virtually all of
the swing voters were voting for Bush but felt ashamed because of all the
intense rhetoric they had to endure. Thus, they voted for Bush but
defensively reported Kerry votes to the pollsters (as they had become
accustomed to doing in public).


But then the horrible, inevitable truth hit home.


More voters wanted Bush. "the horrible"? Do you see how you make yourself
look? Days after the fat lady sung her sad song to you and you are still
doling out that sappy over-the-top rhetoric that was already too much when
you had a chance to get a Dem in the Whitehouse. Now is it just stupid and
reflective of a poor attitude.

They had somehow managed
to re-elect the most devious, blinkered and reckless leader ever put

before
them. The Yellow Rogue of Texas.


By getting more votes?

I had to snip the rest

Oh, my God! Bryan, get over yourself. I know that with cycling in the off
season it is tempting to whine about politics until February, but please
don't. I'd rather read recycled bitching about anything to do with cycling
than this tired whining about "the Demon" (second term) POtUS.

Not my words. You did read to the end for comprehension, didn't you?

From: "B. Lafferty"

Not my words. You did read to the end for comprehension, didn't you?


Here's the end

Today is a sad day for the world, but it's even sadder for the millions of
intelligent Americans embarrassed by a gung-ho leader and backed by a banal
electorate, half of whom still believe Saddam Hussein was behind 9/11.

Yanks had the chance to show the world a better way this week, instead they
made a thuggish cowboy ride off into the sunset bathed in glory.

And in doing so it brought Armageddon that little bit closer and re-christened
their beloved nation The Home Of The Knave and the Land Of The Freak.

God Help America.

Not Brian's words but what he sent here. If he thought it was wrong he wouldn't
have posted it.
Let's all pray for the Nobel Peace Prize winner Arafat. Let's all cower in
fear from the future, let's all bury our heads in the sand.
Brian I could not live the way you do. My faith tells me it's wrong to live in
fear and so does my reasoning. I refuse to cower in a corner. I refuse to think
that the future will not be better. I refuse to think that people who disgree
with me are stupid, or evil. I honestly try to see their point of view.
I do think that there comes a time to stand and fight for freedom and a chance
for a better life. I think it's criminal to cling to your single life if your
sacrifice could save many others lives and hopes. I think that sometimes
innocents have to die in order to defeat tyranny.
Now go ahead and tell me I don't get it. I don't mind at all.
