Definite mixed emotions over the election

[Dennis Olson]

Well, it looks like GWB will be re-elected. Although really too soon to tell, my gut instinct is that he'll be declared the winner. I desperately wanted Bush fired. I also desperately wanted Kerry elected president of France. Now Bush thinks his methods of (not) dealing with the crumbling economy have been validated by the "will of the people".

What this election screams out to me is that had ANY decent Democrat been Bush's opponent, Bush would have lost in a landslide. It's my personal opinion that the Dems ran Kerry on purpose, to pave the way for Hitlery in 2008 (should our nation survive that long). Kerry, from the moment I saw him, reeked of elitist pond-scum, "I'm better than you". He seemed the perfect product of the ultra-liberal Atlantic coast/NYC mentality.

When he got the lock on the nomination, I said then, that Bush would retake the WH.

At least this time the Dems won't be able to say Bush "stole the election". So I ask those of you who voted for Kerry this cycle, "Will you consider Bush to be the legitimate President?" Or will you continue to rant that Kerry was somehow sabotaged (he WAS, but not by the Repubs.)

I have no problems with liberalism AS LONG AS it's within set limits. Kerry represented someone FAR outside those limits. The only people who really supported him were the ABB's. Had Edwards or Lieberman taken the nomination, chances are Bush would be packing this morning. And if you put Hitlery up for prez, and she takes the nomination, you won't capture the WH in 2008 either (JMHO).

Take heed - extremism serves no one well....

I think it's a great day.

As I said all along I was hopeing GW would win so that no one else could be blamed for the days ahead. This should be fun to watch him take America to her knees. I don't figure it wil take long.

The current and next President was elected in a year ending in "0"
The 20-year curse, never failing except for Reagan, may still be operative
Bush getting re-elected gives Tecumseh more time
It doesn't matter Republican or Democrat, just the year, and the prophesy
Watching ...

Personally I thought Bush won the election 4 years ago, and he won again, and I think snobbism defeated Gore & Kerry more than anything else. Still it's peculiar that the quality of runners all the way around is so low.

The country is circling the drain and being preyed upon by a very intelligent demonic fiend, Bin Laden, and it will take a strong person, in tune with God, to steer the USA through rocky times to the country it was meant to be.

I don't think Prez Bush has what it takes. Kerry doesn't. Nobody seems to at the moment.

If Kerry's votes are not found looks like 4 more years of war mongering and job loss for American. Now we may see how good Bush's his word is that there will be no draft.

Now all you Americans Bush's fix is to get in line to go to school. Spend years learning things then graduate and still find NO JOBS as they are all overseas.

I am happy that President Bush won. However, I agree with Dennis. If they had chosen a slightly less liberal, slightly more likable candidate, Bush would have lost . Look at how close it was when the candidate was a stuffy, elitist, far left leaning yankee.

That's pathetic...If you have that much disdain for the country you live in, why don't you just get the hell out.
And before you get all pious and claim rightous indignation, all the prophets in scripture mourned even though they understood what must happen.

 

[Aleph Null]

What this election screams out to me is that had ANY decent Democrat been Bush's opponent, Bush would have lost in a landslide.

Yep... been saying that for a while.

Bush didn't win this election, Kerry lost it.

I wonder what all the Bush supporters (and especially the "he's better than Kerry" types) are going to say in 2008, after Bush has four years to start more wars and spend us into oblivion without having to worry about re-election. Oh, and stack the SCOTUS with right-wingers too.

Right.. that's what the "end times are upon us" people say after EVERY election.

[atlantajack]

That is the main reason I voted for Kerry. Bush may get to appoint as many as 4 (Rehnquist, Stevens, O'Connor and Ginsburg).
Sad days ahead!

At least Kerry won't have to clean up Bush's mess!

 

[Dennis Olson]

AND - the Senate appears to be firmly Republican now (53-47).

When you love a person with an incurable disease, you usually do anything possible to prolong their life. Medicines, treatments, even transplants. People make great sacrifices to keep loved ones alive.

Perosnally I believe Bush, Cheney, and the White House Gang love this country and are smart enough to know she already has that incurable cancer....but they want to keep her going as long as possible. With Kerry it would be RIP USA, and the UN communist nation beginning. With Bush, it'll be a battle to keep the patient alive as long as they can.

I am not sure even with a strong leader Peroutka type of person winning there would be hope of restoration. The judges are so far left, the unfunded debts ( SS, pensions) too high, the manufacturing already moved overseas, cheap energy peaking or past peak, the next generation dumbed down and addicted to sleezy entertainment.

Like Hayseed said, even the prophets mourned. I feel the death sentence of the USA has been pronounced, Bush will keep her going a little longer, and my hope now is in the Lord, His coming kingdom, and His final work to gather in a harvest of souls.

None of which will change any more in Bush's next four years than they did in Bush's last four years.

Hook, line and sinker.

A0 - amen brother....

 

[A.T.Hagan]

In the final analysis I don't think it much matters anymore.

The trend that the United States is on will not be changed short of anything but literal cataclysm. Fighting over Bush vs. Kerry is just so much arranging of deck chairs on the Titanic. Both of them would/are taking us right down the path we are determined to follow to eventual oblivion.

It won't happen this year or this decade, probably not even the next decade, but it's coming.

Moving to the margins is about all that is left.

.....Alan.

I think it was important for the voting and election process that Bush won clearly, and without doubt. Otherwise, they would always say that Bush stole the presidency, and every year we would be worrying about lawsuits and bickering.

I think this is good for our country. And hey, it's only four years.

 

[ChainedLightning]

At least this time the Dems won't be able to say Bush "stole the election".

Heh.. wanna bet? It appears they are jumping on those early exit poll numbers, and saying something is "wrong with the vote" since it isn't matching those numbers.

 

[Dennis Olson]

Exit polls aren't part of the elections process according to the Constitution. Votes are. Let 'em spew....

 

[ChainedLightning]

Agreed Dennis - just pointing out that they are still crying foul.

On a side note, I wish this was kindergarten.. I need a nap today

 

[CTCStrela]

I feel ok

 

[Swampthing]

I agree with Alan but his timeline is all wrong.

Just taking into account-- SS the heart of babyboomers begin hitting it in 08, Medicare the reform that was passed in the 90's is upside down, Government pensions being tapped, Housing bubble, interest rates, economic non-recovery, natural/gas prices, heating oil, peak oil, immagration, homeland security/patriot act, trade with China, Chian in Sudan/Iran Nouth Korea, Russia, Putin,Russia postureing to fight terroist anywhere(Washington?), Russia in Iran/Irag, France Germany, the war in Iraq, Iranian parliment defiant of IAEA and shouts of "Death To America", North Korea, Al-Qieda, Bin Laden, Al-zarquri, Demise of the $$, Inflation/Deflation, Lay Offs, Corporate welfare, that sunburn missle Iran has, Natural disastors,Un-Natural disastors, etc...

The trigger event could happen anyday now.

 

[Deborah]

I agree with you, swampthing. It will probably happen sooner than any of us could imagine. I think we will be at war with Iran by 2005, the draft will come and it won't take much to set the wheels in motion. Everything is in place. The green light is all that is needed.

 

[SouthernGal]

What this election screams out to me is that had ANY decent Democrat been Bush's opponent, Bush would have lost in a landslide.

That's how I feel, Dennis. If the Democrats had been smart enough to pick a moderate with a spine to run, I would have voted for him / her.

I did NOT vote PRO-Bush .

I voted against Kerry.

 

[rockywhy]

Mourn what?

Why would I mourn. I see a great day ahead. A cleanseing that started four years ago, and will end before the next three years is up. The (burning) Bush has been elected. Are you listening. You will not possess the land of the Caananites (means merchants and traders) until they are purged from the land. You think your riches come from them, it's not up to me to do anything about it. Do you believe that the will of the Father wasn't done?
AO do you think that just because GW was reelected it will solve all the problems we now face as a nation? Do you believe that we can survive another 4 years as a "service" industry nation? Do you think jobs will now suddenly reappear? Do you think the money problems will disappear? I really don't care one way or the other right now, just wondering if you do.
If money and industry drives this nation, where is the industry investing for new factories? Who is going to get the jobs from this investment? If our people aren't being paid who is going to spend to supply the service industry?
I won't even get into the jobs that foriegners have, because we Americans think that it is beneath us to pick lettuce or oranges, or manage a 7-11, or work in a factory that gives you carpal tunnel syndrome. We only want the cushy jobs that pay big bucks with little labors.

Hey Rocky
