Nonwithstanding the Ohioan provisional ballots (which I don’t think will boost Kerry) seems like Bush won.. he even won the popular vote majority, so I can’t argue..
I guess I’ll slink back to my chair, not read papers for a while and nurse my ego back to health… heck, even the senate Republican Majority grew bigger…
Why do you wink to the Bush fans that takes out the post LOSER reflection tone which was effective. If it was a hateful wink I retract my advice for a retraction thereof.
I don’t know what to think about Bush’s win. I am socially conservative but economically liberal. I agree with his stance on stem-cell research, and the Iraq and Afghan wars, but his tax cuts scare me. Where the heck is my party?
That is an interesting combination. With most people who are split, they are economically conservative and socially liberal. What are some issues that you are economically liberal on?
Economically conservative and socially liberal. But heck, I’m moving to Canada now. I don’t think I can stand four more years of this hypocritical bible thumping probably never even read the bible neofascist.
Actually, the headline should have been “How can 59,054,087 people be so DUMB or PSYCHOPATHIC?”
There’s is a statistical study published in the highly- regarded British medical journal, Lancet, done by scientists at John Hopkins University, showing, at a minimum, 100,000 excess civilian deaths after the Iraqi invasion.
All these senseless deaths because some one with an IQ of a doormat had this wild hunch that Saddam was dangerous to the US. And the American electorate chose him for 4 more years --amazing!

The majority of Americans are good people: less than 20% of the American population actually voted for bush – i.e, the YAHOOS are in the minority! Sure, there is a lot of work to be done – social, enviromental, economic, and strengthening the peace movement – but it WILL be done, and the sooner when good people stay and fight.

p.s. besides, cweb, as great a country as Canada is, I think a boy from Tenn. might find the winters a bit cold.
What do you mean only 20% voted for Bush? He had more votes than Kerry I thought?
I agree with the Daily Mirror headline, there was also a similar one on a German tabloid, but on a serious one too.
Die Bild: “Victory using the Schröder-trick” (i.e. they say he won the election the same way Schröder won it)
Die Zeit’s headlines (very serious paper, i.e. thicker than most books): “The hated winner” and “The man who won anyway”
other newspapers:
Berner Zeitung (Switzerland): “After election-outcome (there is) cause for concern”
Tages Anzeige (Switzerland): “Threat of a oneparty-dictatorship”
Gazeta Wyborcza (Poland): “Bush’s win is not good news”
Blikk (Hungary): „Four more years, another four years of war?“
