vote or cry

I voted, and I'm sobbing my eyes out right now.
What's that weird little object on the lower left? It looks like a puppet hand. Maybe it's what is left of the average American's intelligence, melted and useless.

When I read these comments, I don't understand how Bush can have been voted. Where are all those pro Bush folks?

They're in the Bible Belt! Something like 43% of Americans are right wing religious nuts, who will throw their money at the church freely, and band together to keep Bush and his twisted morals in office.
I cried, too. Sometimes you just need to.

I am a New Yorker and I voted for George Bush.
He's far from perfect but he's actively engaged in ending the terror war that Bin Laden & Co. are waging against the U.S.
John Kerry may have made a great President, but not under the current circumstances. His blind trust in a corrupt, morally bankrupt organization like the UN is only one example of his naivete.
And before you call me a right wing nut, please note that I voted for Bill Clinton twice and Al Gore in 2000. In fact, had Kerry named someone with a track record as a running mate, someone like Gephardt who knows what he's doing, instead of a johnny come lately shyster like John Edwards, my vote might have been different.

Mitch, you have become a right wing nut.

Well, I live right in the frickin middle of whole state that always votes republican. Thankfully the city of Bloomington is a pretty liberal and accepting place, but if you leave the county be prepared to mix and interact with all sorts of pro-bush...hmmm, people.

Oh, and by the way, the southern states weren't the only ones who supported Bush. All of middle America did. Kerry only won the east and west coasts, homes of the alleged "intelligentsia" like Barbra Streisand, Janeanne Garofolo and Alec Baldwin.

Hi Mitch, click on my name for a page that explains why I did not vote for Bush.
Posted by: Miranda at November 4, 2004 07:02 PM
Sorry, Mitch, but I'd rather be part of an educated, informed "intelligensia" than the ignorant, Bible-worshipping Bush populus.
Posted by: Ayelet at November 4, 2004 07:45 PM
No, I don't like Bush, and I voted for Kerry, but there is nothing more pathetic than the way that the Left and Right cluster up each with their own and sneer at the "other side." I am speaking especially about comments like "...I'd rather be part of an educated, informed 'intelligensia' than the ignorant, Bible-worshipping Bush populus." A lack of respect for the ideas of the opposition has ruined the democratic process. I am not at all impressed by the intelligence of the intelligensia in America.

Get a grip all! The ways of our lives are not over - they've only begun - just get out there, be like Nike, Just Do It, and support all your fellow Americans who also voted with the same passion everyone here did, just for a different man.

2 out of 3 new yorkers voted kerry, the remaining one just feels the need to whine endlessly about how everyone labels them a nut for voting in a man who claims to speak to god yet feels no remorse about killing thousands of people in the middle east.
reality check for mitch: bin Laden is still in Afghanistan.

Staten Island voted for Bush

I voted for Kerry. Bush is a draft-dodging moron. Under who's watch did 9/11 happen? Bush!

"He's far from perfect but he's actively engaged in ending the terror war that Bin Laden & Co. are waging against the U.S."
---so bombing the fuck out of people is going to end the terrorism, mr. mitch? Isn't that partly what radicalized these folks in the first place? That and our support for saudi arabia's inept and oppressive monarchy. Unfortunately, history to us is what occurred five minutes ago.
Our best hope is if the republicans put up a relatively moderate candidate like pataki and then we have a split amongst the right's ranks and possibly a third party push by the "moral values" folks, effectively blocking their form of mental retardation, a.k.a. evangelical bullshit, from having an effect on the real world for at least four years.

Truth be told we had our work cut out for us even if Kerry got elected. They just voted in a congress that is fantically further to the right. The lines are clearly drawn and time to get working on next november not 4 years from now by next year.

...but next year, even!

Yeah, we all know how real Democrats obsess over Janeane Garofolo and Alec Baldwin. Nice try.

Isn't Illinois, Wisconsin, and Michigan in the Midwest?
We all voted for Kerry...
