No. Actually I voted for Turd Sandwich.
Really ?


Yes. You have them backwards in your mind.

Bush = Turd Sandwich

Kerry = Giant Douche

This is just like the South Park election episode..... where everyone tells stan that he HAS to vote. And then when he says he is going to vote for Turd Sandwich, they all yell at him... because he was only supposed to vote if he votes the way they wanted him to.... which was for Giant Douche.

But you voted for the Giant Douche twice, and now look where we are.
Actually, "THEY" only voted for him once, in 2004. Something different happened the first time that I don't feel like getting into at the moment. It's important to remember that.
Oh i'll never forget that episode.

It's likely something different happened the 2nd time, too. But personally, I think it's unforgivable that the election was even close enough for "something different" to have happened. He should have been out by a landslide, and probably would have been if Americans weren't all spooked by the endless fear-mongering that's been rampant in the media since the R's came into power.

Come to think of it, our electoral college is "something different" in the first place. Generally different enough that I know my vote won't make the slightest difference in a presidential election.

Some people are not so quick to condemn Bush. For example, some would argue that he has done more to destroy the US empire than anyone could have imagined. He has been remarkably effective in that regard.

If the presidential election were tomorrow.... and it was Bush vs. Kerry, or Bush vs. Gore, or Bush vs. Hillary Clinton... I would vote Bush again in a heartbeat.

I wouldn't have even a moment's pause about it.

kranky you missed the point completely.

Its irrelevant who wins, the same agenda is pushed forward whoever is in the puppet's seat. Im not telling anyone they should do nothing, just that they should do the right things rather than something that achieves nothing.
The things you outlined didnt happen because it was republicans in charge, they would've happened whatever, its just that you can make it more blatent with republican government.

It's not as simple as that. (It ought to be, but it isn't.) Just one example - I live in a state that votes overwhelmingly Democratic. Kerry took our state as expected. I could have stayed home, or I could have voted 1000x, the number of electoral votes won by Bush and Kerry would not have changed an iota. It's a weird wacky system. Definitely worth doing some research.
