Sad day for America, Sad day for the world

It's a shame that the rest of Americans aren't as intelligent and righteous as you are.

You make a good point about rural vs. city too. Those people in the city are lovely and selfless, but people in rural areas are just jerks. That's why women can't walk in a park at night in some rural neighborhood but could in Central Park of New York.
They probably have sex with their own cousins.

Wow, here are two examples of people who have chosen polar opposites, have become incredibly sarcastic, and fail to recognize that both posts are repugnant to a third party.

Pfft. Third parties are wasted votes.

The person who wrote that did not vote for a third party, fyi.

I understand where you come from. But I have to ask you... Do you think we live in the same world that existed before 911? I could care less if a few peoples rights get stepped on. I want to sleep at night. I want to live in a country that doesn't look for global aproval to blow it's nose. I think we made the right choice for the safety of America. If a few shady people are guilty until proven innocent ... well ... I say welcome to the American Judicial System.

We know the crimes against humanity and the country committed by Bush

What crime are you talking about? If you are refering to the Iraq invarsion, keep one fact straight. We kill more Iraqis during Clinton adminstration (due to oil sanction) than the Iraqi invarsion. 5000+ children under 5 died every MONTH because of the oil sanction -- even the Clinton adminstration admit this number. That is only for children.

There is a reason why most Iraqis actually want Bush to be reelected. If Bush is so horrible to Iraqis, can you explain why most Iraqis prefer Bush and not Kerry.

I was meaning third parties as in a person who was standing outside of their arguement and watching.

What?! But third party candidates are the only ones worth voting for. Voting for one of the two corrupt big parties is just ignorant. It's a shame he doesn't feel the same compassion as I do. I feel saddened that he has made such an error of judgment. Now, is it that he doesn’t care about the issues of other people, or is it he doesn’t know what’s going on in the rest of the world and in our own country to people of other cultures? Maybe both? Maybe neither? Either way, I just don’t understand it.

We kiilled 100,000 people under acts of violence. That was not at all related to our security. Sadam was not a threat.

Sandy, I am mourning too....I am also terrified with what is going to happen during these next four years. I feel bad for who gets elected in '08 and has to clean up the mess of this campaign....

Most Iraqis want bush? Are you an Iraqi in Iraq? Then how do you know? First of all, the oil sanction was started under the first BUSH not Clinton. So don't blame Clinton. Thats like me Blaming the current Bush for those deaths. Further, that number is exagerated. A little under 5000 kids may have died from malnutrition, but this can not be blamed on the United States nor on our oil sanction. The oil for food program helped, and the fact that Iraq became delapetated can not be blamed on an oil embargo. We embargo Cuba, yet people have not died in droves. Further, an embargo is not a deadly action. Rather, it is an economic action. Obviously missles will kill.

If Sadam was not a threat today, he would have been. Even Kerry said he was dangerous.

And what about all of the acts of violence he and his family committed?

Doesn't America stand up for the little guy?

What about bin lauden!?!??!?!

Sandy, as long as you take this ignorant and condescending view of your fellow citizens, your candidates will never be elected.  For you cannot run a campaign on lies, like this blog.  The simple fact of the matter is you are just angry, mad, upset and ignorant.  Yet instead of educating yourself, you slam those who have!  As ignorant!  And you slam those the do not agree with you as hopelessly myopic!

You are the reason Kerry lost!  your condesending attitude to all that do not agree with you does not win converts. it does win enemies.  You should read Brad's log on this very issue!

If kerry had won, instead of extending an olive branch to the people who supported Bush, you would be trashing them for being so stupid!  And in your supreme arrogance and ignorance, you would not be winning or converting any one.

I feel sorry for you. For the generic liberal that acts like you I have only contempt.  But you have the option of reading others thoughts, and yet you deny that option.  And that is sad and pathetic.

I hope you can live with your self over the next 4 years.  And maybe learn.  Where there is life, their is hope for learning.  But that is only hope and not a guarantee!

Dr. Guy. Answer my questions. Do the 100,000 people not matter? Do the liberties of our citizens not matter? I have nothing against people with different views then myself, my friends have different views than me. I want to know why though, these things are not important. I understand how money may be more important. But what else is more important?

Hell, yeah, you tell them sandy. Keep right on thinking that. Your attitude is why Kerry lost, so maybe if it is perpetutated we'll win again in 2008. To be honest, though, if you think bumpkins and the wealthy make up 51% of the population you're nuts.

I live in a middle class suburban area and it went almost completely for Bush. If you look at the vote in a lot of states, your model simply doesn't hold up, not even close. To pretend that educated people don't vote Republican is the ultimate in self-medication.

Go ahead though, chalk it up to rednecks and oil magnets, and insult Bush voters as fervently and as often as possible. Every time you make a post like this, and the numerous ones you made pre-election, you alienate and drive away more and more people from your snotty Democratic party and hyper-motivate Republicans that wouldn't otherwise vote.

Whatever it takes to make you feel better is fine. This, though, has an added benefit for Republicans. More power to ya...

Rural voters voted for Bush. Urban and suburban voters voted for Kerry. People in big cities almost always voted for Kerry, people in the middle of nowhere states almost always voted for Bush.

Do you know what urban and rural mean?  If so, is there a reason for the redundancy?

Brad wrote a very good blog about how Kerry lost.  If you haven't already, you should check it out because you could really learn from it.  I am from MI and happen to know that MI was way closer than anyone thought it would be.  Detroit and Flint are why Kerry took MI.  Bush still won a decisive victory when it came to the popular vote.  Liberals, up until today, were claiming that Bush had won in 2000 because the majority of voters hadn't been heard.  Well now they have and liberals now say the majority is wrong because the majority didn't agree with them.

Both Kerry and Bush talked today about how we need to unite as Americans.  We should listen to our leaders rather than listening to the Michael Moore's of the country.  We can't unite until we start showing each other respect and part of that respect is accepting the fact that people might not have the same view as your own and that doesn't automatically make them wrong.

Your analysis of the polls is..well totally wrong.

While academics tend to vote for Kerry, those who graduate with a bachelors degree tend to vote for Bush.

And most suburbans voted for Bush. See my exit polling blog: http://draginol.joeuser.com/index.asp?AID=33680

Like I say, he has my support as the leader of my country. He doesn't get my trust or respect though.

While academics tend to vote for Kerry, those who graduate with a bachelors degree tend to vote for Bush.

And of course you have to look at geographical trends too, an academic and a bachelor degree holding individual in, say Oregon are more likely to vote for Kerry than those same two people in Texas.

It should be pointed out that yes, every poll taken in Iraq has shown the people there preferred Bush.

Secondly, claiming 100,000 people died in Iraq in the invasion is not substantiated anywhere that I know of. If you're going to start trying to use statistics, at least know what you're talking about.

I actually always have sources for everything I say, though I sometimes misread sources, not this time. You should know for sure before personally attacking you. I did not attack you, why are you attacking me. http://www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/Story/0,2763,1338749,00.html

St. Hubbins Theorum #113: The amount of class and decorum demonstrated by bloggers in the wake of Bush's victory is directly proportional to the amount of team sports they played as a child, specifically contact sports. When two tigers fight, one dies and the other is badly injured; similarly, a true warrior knows there is no 'winner' when he goes to battle, and doesn't run smack to the effect of "PWNED!!!", "NEENER NEENER NEENER!!!", etc. in the event of victory. It's a matter of honour. The Bushies who think "they" "won" should check their mailboxes tomorrow for their "Bush Won!" prize, though I have a feeling it's not coming. "They" contributed about as much to Bush's victory as I contributed to the Red Sox; I guess vicariously coattailing is a cheap counterfeit to personal accomplishment. Anyhoo, I am genuinely saddened, disappointed, shocked, and bummed out by today's news.

David St. Hubbins

The record of George W is such that he did not deserve another term as President. The job loss, energy costs and our lack of a intelligent energy policy, no action to solve the funding issues of Social Security and Medicare, the lack of funding for some areas of Homeland Defense and education and the deficit that will come back to haunt America with much higher interest expense as far out as the eye can see. Add the way America is looked by the world and the Iraq war and Bush is the worst president in my 63 years. I am a moderate Republican that is ashamed at what my party has done to our nation. I fear we are in for four more of the same.

Iraqis' views on U.S. presidential race run gamut
Some back Kerry or Bush, while others see little difference

"If the U.S. Army suffered numerous humiliating losses, (Sen. John) Kerry would emerge as the superman of the American people," said Mohammad Amin Bashar, a leader of the Muslim Scholars Association, a hard-line clerical group that vocally supports the resistance. Bashar, a professor at Baghdad's Islamic University, said he and many of those opposed to the occupation are rooting for Bush's Democratic challenger.

"I think if Kerry wins he's going to try to get world support and United Nations involvement," he said at Baghdad's Umm al-Qura mosque. "You'll see a different situation in Iraq if the United Nations were involved."

...The most pro-Bush, he said, are the foreign extremists.

"They prefer Bush because he's a provocative figure, and the more they can push people to the extreme, the better for their case," he said.

Also, you need to check your sources. At least one poll has found the Iraqi's prfered Kerry. See http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/tribune-review/middleeastreports/s_267955.html. Found some more. I don't think I need to post the links, now do I?
