Dru Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 This means you. The election is over. Bush won. The world has not yet ended. Sure things will get worse. But is this as bad as 8 years of Reagan and 4 yrs of Bush senior? Hardly. You get another chance to kick the bastards out in 4 years. Quit complaining and get working on change now. You get congressional elections in 2 years right? President can't do anything much without Congress right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 Dru, you need to come up with some new constroversial subject matter to divert everyone's attention. Any new Giant Squid sightings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graupel Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 Hey dude, we gotta live in this cesspool. You just get to mock us from your safe haven across the border. To stop whining is to become complacent like a Stepford Wife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 Unfortunately he can do damage without congress through executive order, changes of implementing rules, and general policy leaning/manipulation behind the scenes. Oh yea - did I mention their favorite of making up science and just plain lying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nolanr Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 If W. is that bad and yet he still won, what does that tell you about what a lame candidate Kerry was! Hey Dems, if you want to win an election why don't you get somebody halfway decent to run for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted November 8, 2004 Author Share Posted November 8, 2004 Kerry was pretty much a Bush clone. Weren't they both in Skull & Bones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILuvAliens Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 If W. is that bad and yet he still won, what does that tell you about what a lame candidate Kerry was! Hey Dems, if you want to win an election why don't you get somebody halfway decent to run for you! Might mean that. Amongst other things. ex. Could mean that Bush did a lot of this: Could mean that we are a country full of: The reps won without a halfway decent candidate, so why not the dems. You are right though. In fact I make it a challenge for both parties to actually present us with a halfway decent candidate next time. Fat chance.

nolanr Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 Probably right, a lack of good candidates all the way around. I try to avoid politics as much as I can but sometimes it's not possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selkirk Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 The problem is halfway decent candidates rarely stand a half way decent chance of getting elected. They typically have things called morals and ethics, and have issues with the type of lying most politicians call "statistics". I'd be happy for a Republican that doesn't come across as a good-ol-boy and can actually look at a problem for more perspectives than their own, or a Democrat who doesn't come across as elitist and disconnected from most of America. Either won would win in a landslide I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foraker Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 That's a better reply than any of the Australians gave when I used it on them. ;-) They usually just sputtered in righteous indignation.

klenke Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Are we going to have 4 more years of this liberal drivel {hey, that rhymes!} on this site? Can't we call a four-month truce or something? Perhaps we should create a superspray politics forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
