Bush wins the election!
« Reply #30 on: November 03, 2004, 07:09:49 AM »
It\'s kind of sad that analyst on the networks are saying that many people elected Bush because of morals. .

Anyways Kerry should just call it quits. It\'s better for the country and it would only cause more drama.

Now we have to sit here and watch a full on control of Republicans on this country. Nothing would really balance and check each other any more. And I\'m sure that if Bush has the power to appoint some new judges they would only increase his imperialistic hold of the government.

One out of three paragraphs is a start I guess.  This is the most intelligent thing you have said in a while.  

I told my wife last night that whoever was down this morning should concede.  The reason?  To try and start healing the great divide in the country.  I said this before, but I knew whoever won was going to have the difficult task of trying to heal the deep divisions in this country and a good start would be for the defeated candidate to just concede.  

Bush has his work cut out for him - in addition to healing this nation he needs to clean up the mess that is Iraq, improve Homeland Security, keep the economy moving in the right direction and start reducing our deficit.

Hmm...No

I still think this nation is going to head in the wrong direction with Bush in power. Bush is basically ruling this country with full support of every part of government. Every part. Now all we can do is sit back, whine about it but have no affect in the outcome because the scary and deppresing fact that the GOP holds full control of the government.

The fathers of this country are probably crying in their graves.

Exactly what is this wrong direction?  It certainly isn\'t the economy or homeland security.  A majority of Americans tend to disagree with you Mystiq and they echoed that sentiment at the polls yesterday.

Can\'t say I\'m surprised that Bush won, but I\'d be lying if I said I wasn\'t disappointed.  South Park made the best parody when they had that giant douche and terd sandwhich running against each other, we really can\'t win with either one.  Oh well, back to not caring...

The best bet now is to pretend there was never a better option and that we was forced into having Bush as our supreme leader - that way we can have some kind of numbness to the fact that a complete dolt runs the country.

I am happy Bush won, but I am glad it is over even more so.  It is time to try and start healing this country and to a lesser extent this forum ;).  

The division in this country has become too great IMO.  I am not going to gloat or go into any I told you so\'s.  It was a tough campaign and I respect each candidate for the effort they put in.  I wish to also apologize to anyone I have offended with my partisan posts and specifically to Coredweller for labeling him as hating America.  I made the comment towards the end of the election when things were really heating up and I did not think the comment through.  He, least of all deserved the label that I pinned on him... so I formally apologize Core.

Lastly, with the election over - I am hoping tensions will wind down here and we can start being constructive again and share viewpoints instead of attacking them (yes, I know I have been guilty - but it was election fever!).

PS - I think McCain and Guilliani would be a great ticket for 2008...

Do you think Kerry will be back in \'08?

And if McCain does run in \'08, I will definitely vote for him, I won\'t have any of the indecision I had this year.

Kerry is done on the national scene.  Hillary will run in 08.

\'08 will bring on the moderate Republicans to the forefront (McCain and Guilliani). This year\'s election was the most divided this country has ever been in over a hundred years. I consider myself a moderate Republican and with them on the ballot, I hope this will united this country even further. W. Bush will try to start the healing process but I hope the Democrats\' leaders aren\'t too upset and try to make it a harder path for him.

I think I\'ll go check out the Michael Moore and MTV forums. :p

Michael Moore\'s site hasn\'t been updated since yesterday - pretty amusing if you read "Mike\'s Message".

Democratic Underground has closed their forums to unregistered users as well.

I agree the next Republican ticket needs to be more moderate.  This one was a little too conservative even for me, but faced with the alternative I would rather have Bush and Co.

My boss was saying last night, statistically, we never voted out a president during war time. Theres another number to that statistic, even though it was close.

Apology accepted.  Enough said about that.

It\'s going to take me a while to digest the results of this election and draw conclusions from it.  A couple things have come to mind however:

These results may demolish the theory that has been generally accepted among progressives that there is some great untapped source of liberal support among people who don\'t vote.  I\'ve heard it said that there are masses of poor, disenfranchised, and disillusioned middle and lower class people in this country who would vote liberal if they thought voting made any difference.  Now we see the highest voter turnout in 30 years, along with the most offensive Republican incumbent as a target, and still the liberal side can only muster a little less than half the electorate.  In addition, some of the support that went to Kerry will no doubt drift away when they see that their vote had no effect.

We do seem to be a bitterly divided nation, but I\'m asking myself what kind of a candidate it would take to bring about one of those landslide victories from the old days.  It would definitely help for both parties to play against their stereotype in selecting their next nominee.  If the Republicans nominated a thoughtful, intellectual easterner, or if the Democrats nominated another charismatic southern populist of modest origins (ala clinton), we might see more of a more crushing and decisive victory next time.  Instead we had the republican "good old boy hick" versus the democratic "eastern elitest."  Of course the Republican party will probably see this as a validation of their strategy and look for another good old boy next time around.
