I'm not threatening to kill you, just stating that it would be good for the world if you died.

why ? Dying is not something to take lightly. Do you know anyone who's died in the war ? I do.

Grow up.

Yes, and I've got friends that are still over there now, and some that are going soon.

If you can't take a little light hearted bantering on an internet forum, you've got issues kid.

awesome. i'd like to personally thank senator kerry for not dragging this election out like al gore, and realizing when he was beat. he put up a valiant effort, but in the end the people spoke and the best man won. now if we could make some folks realize they are in the minority and not the majority, we'd probably all be happier.

oh heh didnt see this posted.


I agree! after hearing how he is acting i respect him FAR more then i did before the election.

yeah, i'm really happy to see they aren't going to make this country look as bad as gore did with all his antics. i think we'll all be better off for it. sure there are kerry supporters who are upset and that's fine, but it's not spilling into the actual election like it did in 2000.

Maybe, if he trains really hard, he can learn how to throw a football farther than my little brother.

I was talking about Bush having 4 more years. I can't throw a football worth sh!t either. But I can accessorize.

Can't spell WWIII without the Dubya!

And we know 51% is happy with Bush. Even Clinton couldn't claim that. He has a mandate, we has a stonger House and a stronger Senate. Republicans did very, very well. It can't be denied.

This is very true, and I'm kinda shocked. I didn't expect them to pick up that many seats overall... We have a clear majority winner this time, so no bickering about elections. Whatever happens in the next 4 years, is done under the administrator that a majority of the people voted for.

Gore was the one losing 4 years ago in Florida, that would make him the sore loser in hindsight, not Bush.

I don't know if its as much the Repubs doing very very well as the Democrats absolutely sh!tting the bed.

51% did vote for Bush but you can't say they are happy with Bush. Some of that precentage just did not want Kerry, some voted Bush just b/c he was republican, some did it out of fear.

wasn't there a record turnout? and look at the margins. wouldn't that mean that the republicans did very well? or am i missing something?

Considering both parties picked up votes with the higher turnout, I would have to say it's the Republicans doing better. It's not like people left the Democrats, they just didn't pick up as much as the Republicans.

You could flip that argument to Kerry also. But it doesn't really matter, the fact is the Rebups pushed to get the vote out harder. It is obvious that grassroot efforts were handled better and generated much more turnout for the Repubs that anyone expected, even what the worthless exit polls showed.

But Bush could have been a man and given up.

Anyways, now we know that only what, 5% more people support Bush. It is a majority, but not much of one. Soon, we will all be forced to attend church, and go fight for oil in far away countries.



P.S.This is Jeffreylebowski posting.

someone remind me again why we have parties ? Why does a "republican" automatically vote for the "republican" ? Same for a "democrat". This isn't a fvcking sport.

Why doesn't voting simply go to the best man to do the job ?

What a sad, sad day. Asshat gets another 4 years of vacationing on his ranch. This country is in big trouble.

Look at the increase of registered independent voters and split ticket voting.

When a candidate concedes, do they stop counting the votes?

Yeah, does this mean all those votes are not counted? That's pretty fvcked up.

They should have ensured their eligability and found their precient for voting in the first place. Not saying that all of them shouldn't be counted, but rules are rules. It's doubtful that Kerry could have pulled out the difference from those votes, anyhow.

So the people in Ohio that waited in line 9 hours to vote shouldn't have those votes count since they didn't get to actually vote until 3:30am. That is absurd. The votes should be counted. It may not make a difference in the outcome, but at least people will be encouraged that their vote was counted.

it might be that people voted this year who didn't last election. i didn't vote in 2000 (and bush had my state locked by the time i would have even had a slight chance to vote anyway) but this year i made a point to make it to the polls to get my vote in so there wasn't a question in the popular vote or anywhere else who was elected president. it might be that other people like me made sure to get their vote in, and it's showing in the results.

Well that's obviously a good sign. I just don't get the hard-headed people who vote just because a person is on his "team". The guy could be an alcoholic who's raped 2 kids but as long as he's on my team... he's the man for me. Give me a break.
