Us Southern folk just don't want no woman like Hillary, we like John Edwards better. But ain't no one gona take our guns away, Uncle Jed told me, in fact Dick and George said they gona give us some more real big guns and send us on a boat trip so we can drive some oil tankers. YEE HAWWWW
True. Democrats have the only ex-KKK member in the senate. They are also the only party with an admitted communist in the house too. Hillary isn't a lock to run in '08. If Guiliani runs for senate in NY on 06 and wins; Hillary is done. If hillary does run in '08; I think the anti-hillary vote will be so high it'll suffocate her chances of winning. McCain (UGH) or Guiliani will probably run for the GOP in '08. Anthony needs to cool off; so me 'n' Jethro are gonna throw him in the seeement pond.
Jethro gona tell you right now why me and my kin folk vote for Republicans. We can't let them Yankees and them Blacks get into power cus we need to keep our race pure and keep our guns. Us white men can't let them women get any power either, ain't now woman gona tell me how to live, just granny
I wish California would secede from the union, at least for the next four years. Our one state is the 5th largest economy in the world, and we have huge computer, military, agriculture and biotech industries. We get Qualcomm, Apple computer, Google, Oracle, Sun Microsystems and everything else in silicon valley. We also get massive defense contractors.
Your state is also the hardest to understand. I have a hard time understanding why people would vote for the stem cell propostion. Using tax payer's money for private research which is 'regulated' by the very insiders benefiting from the windfall, it just doesn't make sense to me. I'd 'get it' if all of the profits went back to the state. Maybe you can explain it to me so that it makes sense.
Even if John Kerry losses I am happy that he has decided to get every vote counted. After the last election fiasco, I would like to see everyone's vote counted even if it takes weeks to determine the final count. It makes me sick to think of four more years with Bush. I'm praying for a miracle.
It doesn't make sense how they can count x million in one night and then need a week for the remaining 170,000 ... Melanie is right IMO, every vote should be counted. How can you say 'every vote counts' or motivate people to vote next time if they don't even bother counting?!
Kerry is not a miracle, he's a disaster. Have you actually reviewed his voting record? No matter what he has said, his record is proof of who he really is. Don't get me wrong, I don't like Bush either. But Kerry is the worst thing that could happen us.
The problem with America is the election and voting process itself, when new voters have to stand in line for 12 hours just to vote that is fraud. The Republicans have taken advantage of this in the last two elections, keeping the poor and the young away from the polls. The entire process is flawed and there are no equal rights in this nation, especially for the poor. We need to move to a popular vote and an online election process, dumping the electoral college vote process.
Of course, I totally disagree with you mopacfan. Yes, I am aware of both the canidates records. And, Bush's scares the hell out of me. Bush is leading our country down the wrong path. I do believe that he does care about the United States and it's people. But, I disagree with the republicans on almost all issues. Yes, I'm an educated liberal from the northeast. I have lived down south and found it to be a very different way of life, and way of thinking. It's amazing that with such strong differences we remain a strong, united country. Though, I do think it usually helps us as a country to balance out the extremes.
They wont be certified for another 10 days but Kerry is conceding to Bush at 1pm est because even if the provisional votes were 100% for Kerry (by definition most will be ruled invalid because they are mostly people who never registered to vote) it wouldnt be enough: http://apnews.myway.com/article/20041103/D864G8201.html Sorry to interupt Anthony - You can go back to insulting anyone who isn't you
So you're ok with Kerry selling out the military and the men he 'fought' with to the North Vietnamese government? You're ok with him voting against each and every military appropriation since he's been in Congress? You're ok with him constantly criticising the current military, the men and women that are keeping us and the US safe? You're ok with someone who has no opinion of his own, whos opinion is whatever the polls show they should be?
I think the time needed to wait on line to vote was a big turnoff for a lot of new young voters. In my county, there were people who had to wait four hours to vote. And, they had to wait outside in the cold. I think a lot of voters turned around and went home when they saw the long wait. It was great to see so many wait it out. But, I noticed they were mostly older. You ever notice that there is never problems with our bank ATMs. I wish the states would all just set up ATM as voting machines. I never heard of an ATM missing a withdrawal. Most people know how to use them. Each state makes it's own decision so a national voting system will probably never happen. I agree that the popular and electoral vote system isn't great. But, it's the way it's set up so I wouldn't want to change it. However, if I was setting up a new democracy anywhere I would not use an electoral college in the process. Well, I guess I've vented enough on the subject. I'm a bit tired. I was watching the returns until 3am. Have a good day everyone.
That is a bunch of classic Republican propaganda, Mopacfan, if you were around in the 70's you would have known that WE ALL were hippie rebels against the war. So you really fell hook line and sinker for the war monger killer propaganda. If you go back and look at what happened to our men who went through the Vietnam war (go back and look at some of the photos), they became serial killers and did it for fun. Even killing babies and women, most of them are now insane or dead, so don't tell us how great war is. Especially unnecessary wars like the one in Iraq that Bush Senior should have won the first time around. Vietnam was a war we LOST, we will not WIN anything in IRAQ. Get real man and learn a bit about history and don't believe Republican lies that keep the American people brainwashed and enslaved to the rich thieves and so-called ruling class Republicans. You are all fooled, believe me, any who support Bush are fooled and will never be better for it. Don't think you are protected by men that really do not want to serve the oil mafia any longer. None of our guys really believes in the oil war, the soldiers have the same attitude you claim that John Kerry had on the Vietnam war. They DO NOT want to be there, would you call them bad soldiers also because they do not feel it is a just war and do not want to see their fellow soldiers killed for no reason other than to secure oil fields for Halliburton?
I think the simple fact that the Military voted overwhelmingly for Bush is all that one needs to know who should be the comander in chief. No conspiracy here.
I ma just pissed off by the results. He is now ready to wreck America for he is not intending to come back, hence will do what pleases him most. I wish Kerry won
If Kerry is the worst thing that could happen to us, Bush is the worst thing that did happen to us. I don't want either of them in office, but it's just soo bad now. I agree. Where's our big earthquake that seperates CA from the rest of North America?
