The saddest thing about this loss...

[bkcc]

is that I realized, after a year of fighting and trying to send Dubya home to Crawford, that the majority of America doesn't see him as a bad president.

People in the heartland are happy with the last four years.

They showed up and stood in line to vote for the idiot king.

And, finally, they showed me that we liberals are in the minority.

I didn't want to believe that, but it appears to be true. Just look at the difference in the popular vote.

At this point, it's their country. We just live here.

1. Greed and blind faith.

[XanaDUer]

2. One teeny, tiny bright spot

we are in the minority, yes, probably 49% to 51%.

I personally am not going to "work with", "heal", or do anything with the other half.

So it's gonna be a bumpy ride for *.

[bullimiami]

3. sad, embarassing, horrifying.

what kind of monsters has the middle of our country spawned?

no problem with murder, torture, lying, rape of the treasury and our resources?
im glad i dont get it.

6. One word:

"TERRA TERRA TERRA!!!!"

AAAAAARGGGHHHHHHHHH!

[Fovea]

4. I think that this next year will be horrible to watch.

and we will understand how if felt to be German in 1944.

5. how sadly true

"At this point, it's their country. We just live here."

that's exactly how I feel.

a stranger in my own land.

7. Yep.

I grossly underestimated the fear & stupidity of the majority of Americans.

[blueknight]

9. shows you how stupid

the people in the heartland are. they are losing their farms at record levels,and still vote for this idiot

[XanaDUer]

10. I knew there were a lot of them

guess that tiny percentage tipped * over. Oh well.

[Boomer]

11. Don't kid yourself

This isn't the result of stupidity. Most people knew exactly who -- and what -- they were voting for.

The truth is that some 50% of the adults in this country have chosen to follow a demagogue or stand by and let him continue in power. So this is about greed, indifference, insularity, racism, bigotry, hatred.

Fear is for those of us who don't salute the imperial nation. We are traitors to the new regime, and we will be dealt with in good time.

12. Any group that screams "blow me"

to a group of old ladies and shoots the bird is the group of coming Brown Shirts that will squash all dissent.

[Boomer]

8. That about covers it for me, too

This was a referendum on the American people, and the result is that the world will now have just cause to hate Americans, not just Bush.

I now know what we are made of -- and it's not a pretty sight.

[XanaDUer]

13. We made our bed

now we're going to have to lie on it.

[bkcc]

14. More accurately, THEY made the bed for us.

[XanaDUer]

15. True. I meant "we" as amerikkka

as I stated on another thread, we all have to take the roller coaster ride from hell together.
