I'll bet George Soros feels like a real dumbass today.
Jeb vs. Hildabeast in 08. American politics is getting a bit like Wrestlemania. Get ready for the next edition of the Bush vs. Clinton family fued.
Now that the election is over when does the urban renewal in Fallujah start? |

Looking at the red/blue states...I am reminded of the 1860 election. We all know how THAT turned out!
The Dems are a fucking joke. An organ grinder monkey should have been able to beat Bush....and they nominate Kerry, a complete fuckwit.
After watching the candidates stumble and bumble through the three debates, I determined that there should have been another option on the ballot..."None Of The Above".
I heard people saying that this was the "most important election of our lifetime". Bullshit. It didn't matter who won...we were fucked either way. It was like being asked which is better...a bullet in the head, or a lethal injection.

hi all. I'm ot even from the us but this election still meant a hell of alot to the whole of the uk, bush has tony blaire wrapped round his little finger. Not only could bush be seriously harming his own country with this whole iraq thing but also the uk and innocent civillians in iraq, thousands of children have already died because of this mess, and as long as bush is still in charge i dont see it getting any better in a hurry. not even a day after the election and hes sent in how many soldiers into iraq... AGAIN.

Maybe you should try becoming political. Kerry was counting on people like you to help him win. He voted to support the war in Iraq and only campaigned against it because it was no longer popular. He also wanted to boost troop strength in Iraq. Bush was wrong too but at least I knew where he stood.

I didnt like either candidate. However the one thing I am satisfied about is that is that one side won an overwhelming and decisive victory. There is no room for the other side to cry about a stolen election. They can either find out where they went wrong and try to fix it, or keep losing elections. |

From my Georgia homeboy Zell in today's AJC:
MY VIEW
I tried to tell you . . .
Democrats repel voters, who put faith in freedom
Published on: 11/04/04
America's faith in freedom has been reaffirmed. With the re-election of President Bush, America recommitted itself once again to expanding freedom and promoting liberty. Only the 1864 re-election of Abraham Lincoln, the 1944 re-election of Franklin Roosevelt and the 1980 election of Ronald Reagan rival this victory as milestones in the preservation of our security by the advancement of freedom.
This election validated not just freedom, but also the faith our Founding Fathers placed in average folks to navigate the course of this great nation. By weighing the greatest issues at the gravest times and choosing our path, ordinary people have again accomplished extraordinary things. With courage and caution, rather than fear and timidity, the voters chose a path to ensure others would enjoy the same freedom to set their own path.
This election outcome should have been implausible, if not impossible. With a litany of complaints — bad economy, bad deficit, bad foreign war, bad gas prices — amplified by a national media that discarded any pretense of neutrality, a national opposition party should have won this election.
But the Democratic Party is no longer a national party. As difficult as the challenges are — both real and fabricated — Democrats offered no solution that was either believable or acceptable to vast regions of America.
Tax increases to grow the economy are not a solution that is believable or acceptable. Democratic promises of fiscal responsibility are unbelievable in the face of massive new spending promises. A foreign policy based on the strength of "allies" such as France is unacceptable. A strong national defense policy is just not believable coming from a candidate who built a career as an anti-war veteran, an anti-military candidate and an anti-action senator.
Democratic Party policies haven't sold in large sections of America in decades, and the only success of Democrats in presidential elections for 40 years was when they pitched themselves as pro-growth, low-tax, strong-defense, fiscally responsible, values-oriented candidates.
Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton hummed the tune but never really sang the song, and that's why Democrat prospects have gone south in the South. In 1980, the South had 20 Democrats and just six Republicans in the Senate. As recently as 1994, the Senate had 17 Democrats and nine Republicans from the South.
A decade later, the number had reversed to 17 Republicans and nine Democrats. With this election, it is 22 Republicans and just four Democrats from the South.
When will national Democrats sober up and admit that that dog won't hunt? Secular socialism, heavy taxes, big spending, weak defense, limitless lawsuits and heavy regulation — that pack of beagles hasn't caught a rabbit in the South or Midwest in years.
The most recent failed nominee for president stands as proof that the national Democratic Party will continue to dwindle. The South has gone from just one-fourth of the Electoral College in 1960 to almost a third today.
To put this in perspective, that gain is equal to all the electoral votes in Ohio. Yet there was not a single Southern state where John Kerry had any real chance. Would anyone like to place bets on the electoral strength of the South by 2012? Maybe they should tax stupidity.
When you write off centrist and conservative policies that reflect the will of people in the South and Midwest, you write off the South and Midwest. Democrats have never learned from the second or third or fifth kick of a mule. They continue to change only the makeup on, rather than makeup of, the Democrat Party.
And so we have a realignment election. For the first time, in an "us vs. them" election and in the toughest of situations, Republicans have been re-elected to the White House, the Senate and the House of Representatives.
Confronting an opposition that can win a divided electorate in the worst of times and that has a growing electoral base, the national Democratic Party has a choice: continue down this path toward irrelevance or reverse course. As the last Truman Democrat, I hope my party makes the right choice but know I will not be allowed to be part of it. Such is the price you pay when you love your nation more than your party.
And so while I retire with little hope for the near-term viability of the party I've spent my life building, I retire with a quiet satisfaction that after witnessing the struggle of democracy over communism and fascism, the fear I once held that America might not rise to meet this new challenge of terrorism has vanished like a fog under the radiance of a new dawn. While the threat is still real, the shadow looming across a promising future is gone.
And the credit for that goes to one man. Like the last lion of England, Winston Churchill, George W. Bush has stood alone and risked all to give the world a new, clearer path to the advancement of freedom.
Abraham Lincoln, in his second annual message to Congress, stated: "In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom for the free — honorable alike in what we give and what we preserve. We shall nobly save or meanly lose the last, best hope of earth."
George Bush has injected into a region of enslavement an incurable dose of freedom, and thus nobly saved that "last, best hope of earth" — free men.

Slouching toward Canada
The Washington Times
By Suzanne Fields
November 4, 2004
That enormous cloud of dust on the horizon is being kicked up by the long line of celebrity limousines slouching toward Canada. The Canadian government yesterday felt it necessary to warn unhappy Democrats that if they emigrate to Canada they must get in line for about a year, just like everyone else. Alec Baldwin, whose plane has been idling on the runway for four years, can take off for Europe now, as he threatened to do if George W. Bush defeated Al Gore four years ago. This time there's no ambiguity to take refuge in, and he is at last free to leave.
Barbra Streisand, Bruce Springsteen, Bette Midler and lots of others who sang for their supper at Kerry rallies in hopes of invitations to dinner at the White House can go back now to doing what they do best, actually entertaining us.
The Europeans, who took their tutelage in American politics from Michael Moore and Jon Stewart, might even think about being nice to the man they derided as a moron with the IQ of a carrot. The war against terror is serious business.
Michel Barnier, the French foreign minister, watching the tide turn on election night, called the result, as incredible as it is, an opportunity to work again with Washington: "We have many things to do, both on the current crises -- in Iraq, the Middle East, Iran, the fate of the African continent -- and to renovate the transatlantic relationship." Let's all hope.
The biggest losers of all are the wise guys of the media, who turned their front pages and cameras over to the task of ridding the world of George W. They forgot that their readers and viewers could, and would, find alternative sources of news. The elephants in their own parlors were "the guys in pajamas," the Internet bloggers who exposed the "fake but accurate" (in the famous New York Times formulation) Rather papers about the president's long ago service in the Texas Air National Guard. The pollsters who snookered themselves, all but calling the election for the senator at midafternoon on Election Day, will be trying to get the egg out of their beards for weeks.
The bicoastal intellectual elites are miserable, too. The New Yorker, which published its first presidential endorsement, can go back now to the culture. The Nation magazine, speaking of the culture wars, tried to make the election campaign a class war, reprising the words of Joe Hill, the labor organizer, who, before being executed by a Utah firing squad in 1915, cried out: "Don't mourn, organize!"
Evangelical Christians, once described by The Washington Post as "poor, uneducated and easily led," can celebrate being smart enough to lead the way to victory, which is pretty rich. Mr. Bush won three-fourths of the white, born-again Christians who are now one of every five American voters. More than half of the Bush voters said "moral issues" were most important to them. The Massachusetts Supreme Court galvanized these evangelical Christians with its endorsement of same-sex marriage, which led to 11 states across the breadth of the country amending their state constitutions to define marriage as exclusively a rite binding man to woman.
Many pundits define the culture wars as a war between religious people vs. secularists. This misses the point. The culture wars are about the values of common sense that underwrite traditions that have undergirded Judeo-Christian moral codes for centuries. The culture wars are about how we raise our children, what the schools teach them, how we teach them what's right and what's wrong. The marriage amendments, after all, merely attempt to protect the tried and true status quo. The culture wars are about how the political culture reinforces, or contradicts, the popular culture. The voters understood that this week and the elites didn't.
Pundits are puzzled that the president could win such a ringing vote against all their advice. The voters were not puzzled at all. Voters told the exit pollsters that the president says what he believes and believes what he says, and John Kerry says what he thinks the voters in front of him want to hear. They determined that this is no time to choose a commander in chief who can't make up his mind about the war in Iraq, nor the time (if there ever is such a time) to ask an American soldier to die for "a mistake."
The senator was gracious in defeat and the president was generous in victory. In the end the choice voters made was not difficult at all, and the result, as always, reflected the judgment in that vast reservoir of American common sense.

I was on my way to work yesterday morning when the announcement flashed over the radio that John Kerry had conceded to Bushie43.
I calmly pulled over, reached into the glove box, pulled out an ten inch deer knife and cut my balls off while staring vacantly through the windshield.
I then threw them out the window, started the car and went back and forth running them over about 50 times.
After getting out and setting them on fire, I got back in the car and drove off a cliff.
I suspect the reaction will be similar worldwide.
