America is doomed :-(

[TheDonkey]

I weep fo all of us.

[Jeff in Cincinnati]

1. We survived eight years of Reagan

during the worst days of the Cold War.

We're going to survive this, too.

[ciaobox]

3. Reagan was nothing.

This is severe Fascism with a mandate.

[Delphinus]

4. Agreed.

Reagan was nothing compared to the evil this mis-adminstration will do.

God, what the world must think of us!

[Minstrel Boy]

9. The world is dying, the oil is vanishing, the reservoirs are tapping out.

This isn't the mid-80s, when there was still a window of opportunity to change direction before the crunch.

This is the crunch. The crunch is here. And that's precisely why fascism is here: to exploit the catastrophe.

Not just America is doomed.

2. I am stunned. Never underestimate the stupidity of the American

public? The kids came out in the same proportion as in 2000 per AP. I thought they would come out in huge numbers. I think you are right. I don't trust anything that came out of Florida and Ohio.

[kysrsoze]

6. I agree with you. People are stupid and I don't trust Florida and Ohio

We obviously need the next 4 years for people to learn their lesson. I just hope most of us here don't come out on the short end. Let the people who've doomed us to this suffer the most.

12. ditto, I would write more but am not fully functional right now.

[trogdor]

16. Let's be fair.

Participation increased in ALL age groups. Therefore, it improved amongst young people, even if the proportional stats even out. Do the math; if ONLY young voters improved participation, and everyone else remained at 2000 levels, you would have noticed a dramatic shift in the demographics of the electorate.

[Squatch]

5. Market up 1.5% right now.

We're DOOMED!!!! DOOMED I tells ya!

[snacker]

7. Stop the world,

I want to get off!

[Z_I_Peevey]

8. How can I explain this to my sons?

How can I protect my children from this war machine? I don't know. I hope I can hold back my tears, because once I start crying I may never stop.

[Javaman]

10. Hell no! America has been in worse scrapes. We are down but certainly...

not out!

[Squatch]

11. I'm with you man!

People need to pick themselves up and get back in this fucking fight.

"I'm crying right now...boo hoo hoo"

Fuck that shit. THAT IS WHY WE LOST

[wysiwyg]

13. Republicans in power until they destroy the USA

I believe that, like the German Nazis and the Japanese Militarists of World War 2, the Republicans will be in power until they wreck this country.

[shanti]

14. and they are well on their way

in four years we won't recognize the u.s. of a.

[Maiden England]

15. remember this, where are the Nazis and the Jap Militarists now eh?

don't underestimate the desire for freedom. It will win through in the end. The democratic party is fixing to transform into the party for democracy, we are aptly named, they may have won this battle, but we will win the 'war'

[killbotfactory]

17. And they're so fucking ignorant they won't see it coming

They'll steer us into the iceberg with a big shiteating grin on their faces.

Then they'll abandon ship in their lifeboats while giving us lackluster apologies.

They are really, really, really going to fuck this country over.
