since the election?

Just curious.

I am horrified and intrigued with continued support for this bungling gang of criminals.

Perhaps you should be more specific. The Dems are in error because
they did not support la boosh, or because they did not support some third party?

Hmmm?

2. I do know such a man
although I think of him as a longtime republican voter who realized this time around that Bush ain't yer ordinary republican. The man is my father and I'm very proud of him!

5. I am so saddened that my cousin's situation
did not make my aunt think more carefully about her political choices. My cousin was injured in a car accident two years ago. She did not have insurance, and was treated at the hospital as an indigent patient. She was not offered expensive treatments that would have been most effective for her healing. As a result, her injured ankle never healed. Last month, after nearly two years of pain and suffering, she ended up having her foot amputated. She will never be able to pay her hospital expenses completely. Her medical care was compromised by her inability to pay and the perception that because she was poor she didn't deserve the best medical care available. And her mom still thinks * hung the moon, "'cause he's a good christian."

10. Bah, people like that never learn!
For your aunt to still want bush in office, is practically child abuse in my opinion.

6. Not a one.
And they never will. Like Lancelot Link, it's just not in their inherent nature to admit they're wrong. EVER.

8. You're Wrong
You're wrong. I hated Clinton. I was crushed when he won his second term. When Gore ran against Bush, I knew that the nation would never let a reminder of the Clinton years back into the White House and I was ecstatic when Bush beat him.

Before I go on, let me clarify something. I'm not in favor of either of the New World Order parties so my favoring of Bush was the lesser of two evils. I didn't vote for him.

Immediately after 9/11 I was one of Bush's biggest fans. It wasn't until NORAD's lack of response bothered me so much that I began to research the issues and found out how many discrepencies there were with the official story and had come back to my senses and realized that Bush was another NWO crony just like Clinton and Bush sr. etc.

So there you go. I went from Bush supporter to non-Bush supporter. He's just like Kerry and will do his best to keep Americans happy as he leads us on the path to national disgrace and globalization as he stomps all over the Constitution and U.S. sovereignty.

13. I definitely don't agree with "He's just like Kerry" . . .
I mean, if you still see no differences between the two . . . damn.

In general, they don't change and they're incredibly stubborn and you know this as well as anybody.

14. The differences are superficial....
in terms of their primary objectives.

They may have different platforms on social policy, but that is where the differences end. In both cases, their primary goals as President are economic and global in scale. Although to you and I, the social/economic issues that may interest you domestically are trivial in their view. The ultimate goal of both parties is to move together by leveraging the massive power of the U.S., in concert with several other like-minded nations, to bring about a New World Order.

Domestic social policies and minor tax issues are simply talking points for an election campaign. And most of the campaigns actually consist of kindergarten smear attempts while the crucial issues are essentially ignored. It's a patronizing attempt to appear as a democracy, while a long term agenda unfolds regardless of President and party.

17. Hmm...
"The ultimate goal of both parties is to move together by leveraging the massive power of the U.S., in concert with several other like-minded nations, to bring about a New World Order."


Sorry can't agree with yah. I think we saw a clear different view about America and it's role in the rest of the world between Kerry and Bush. I think you can also see a huge difference between Clinton and Bushes foreign policy

18. Sorry, grammatical error
"The ultimate goal of both parties is to move, together, by leveraging the massive power of the U.S., in concert with several other like-minded nations, to bring about a New World Order."

Clinton ignored bin Laden just as Bush did (ands does).
Clinton bombed civilians for days on end in the Balkans, just as Bush is the aggressor in Iraq.
Clinton waited until Bosnia was on it's knees before committing to be part of a NATO force, just as Bush is waiting for the Sudanese to fall to their knees (just like Haiti).

They're birds of a feather with a goal of global domination and unification under their control.

11. I know some who voted for bush in 2000.
However, by 2004 the same ones would not vote for him. They learned.
I generally do not find anyone who voted for bush in this election and I'm in a red state!

16. No
I haven't. I do know lots of people who dislike Bush but voted for him anyways. I guess in their view there is only one party and you take what they give you.
