Was it worth losing in 2004?

[LiberteToujours]

To get Obama this year?

[Fla Dem]

27. self delete...posted to wrong response.

[Fla Dem]

32. As great as this is......Absolutely, postively no. Last 4, hell 8 years have been hell. n/t

[chimpymustgo]

2. Two Supreme Court assholes for LIFE???

[malta blue]

5. first thing that popped into my mind

:banghead:

[ROh70]

3. Yes. Obama > Kerry

[LostinVA]

43. Need some heavy-duty glasses for that short sightness of yours -- wtf???

[demokatgurrl]

4. No. The country and whole world suffered

those 4 years were terrible for us. Fortunately we were smart enough to save ourselves.

[Inspired]

6. As sweet as this is, no, it was NOT worth it. Not at all.

[Guava Jelly]

7. NO!

To many good people died..

[pocoloco]

8. What the fuck kind of question is that???

You think you will get answers from the grave??

[Left Is Write]

13. My reaction exactly!

[Naturyl]

9. No.

But the past is the past.

[BlueStater]

10. Sorry but hell no.

It was not worth suffering through four terrible years of the worst president ever just so a Democrat could win this year.

[Lefty48197]

11. Absolutely not.

Bush makes Hoover and Nixon look like good Presidents. We could have waited until 1212 for Obama, but I do think your question is legitimate. Is there a chance that Obama wouldn't have won in 1212 after eight years of Kerry? Yes there is a possibility. America could be waiting until 2020 or even later for our first African-American President.

[avaistheone1]

12. Alot of soldiers and Iraqis have died as a result of the stolen 2004 election.

[scarletwoman]

14. No fucking way! My gawd, what a hideous question! (nt)

[pleah]

15. NO! It is great that our guy won this time, but,

eight years of hell with bushitler?

[Dinger]

16. No, . . . roberts, alito

way too high of a price

[mitchum]

17. What a fucked up question

no

[Lugnut]

18. No!

Nothing was worth losing 2004 when you consider all the damage that was done in the past four years. Nothing was worth it.

[WinkyDink]

19. No. Too many dead troops.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

20. As much as I love Obama

Hell no! You really wouldn't have wanted a Democratic Party President handling issues such as Iraq, Katrina and the economy? I know I would've. And I would have wanted a Democratic President appointing a Chief Justice of the Supreme Court as well

[DuaneBidoux]

21. wow. glad I don't actually need to answer that. Lets hope that now it will turn out better.

[GreenPartyVoter]

22. Gore>Gore>Obama would have been far better

[Occam Bandage]

23. Nononononono. Nonono. No. NO.

[LynnTheDem]

24. Let me ask some of my military friends...

Oops can't, they're dead.

[Motown_Johnny]

25. no, We would have Obama in 2012 or 2016.. The man had a destiny to fulfill

to much damage in the last 4 years. To many dead in Iraq, to many jobs and house lost. To many people without proper health care. And SCOTUS fucked up for decades, again


I love my new President, but I could have waited until 2012

[rainman99]

26. No, my savings account is depleted.

[InvisibleTouch]

28. That's a difficult question...

...and one that will take a clearer head than I have tonight. I can only say that, as traumatic as the '04 loss was, I do think that "things happen as they should." The country would not have been ready for the change we're seeing tonight, if the last 4 years with all their horrors hadn't happened as they did. '04 victory would have set us on a higher road sooner and avoided a lot of suffering short-term - but what we're seeing tonight may be the total collapse of the republican ideology. And that's a long-term paradigm shift.

[whitewomenforobama]

29. Funny, I just asked myself the same thing while I was sitting here.

If it took the country getting this angry, and this screwed, for people who might not otherwise be willing to take a chance on a young black man, then I don't know, maybe it was worth it.

[gemlake]

30. NO!

[Raine]

31. Ask the freepers if it was worth stealing the election TWICE

to end up with President Obama.

[LostinRed]

33. I hate to say it, yes

b/c of the last four year Bush has totally destroyed the country, but yes. Obama will rebuild America from the ground up. Our allies will like us again and we can finally get our reputation back

[Blue_In_AK]

34. No, it wasn't.

I'm happy about Obama, but we wouldn't have gone through the last four years of torment if John Kerry had been given his rightful due.

[OwnedByFerrets]

35. Unbelievable question

[kenny blankenship]

36. Fuck NO, Wtf

IS THE MATTER WITH YOU?

We didn't stop Bush, and the damage to this country is DONE. Obama gets a shell of a country to be President of. IT SUCKS.

[ChromeFoundry]

37. Ask someone that lost their job.

Ask someone that lost a family member due to high health care costs.
Ask someone that lost a son or daughter in Iraq or Afghanistan.

Wait...don't ask them because it will hurt them deeply.


No. It absolutely was not worth it. We are all worse off today because of it. Period.

[LostinVA]

38. What a truly stupid question -- The USSC, Iraq, the economy, etc.

[HughLefty1]

39. Hell no

Bush alienated us from the rest of the world, our economy is fucked, the national debt is out of control, lives lost in an unnecessary war, most of the country cannot afford decent healthcare, etc, etc. Quite a mess that will be inherited.

[Zhade]

40. No. Too many dead, tortured, spied on and imprisoned in that time.

NT!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

41. WTF?

No, seriously, what the fuck are you talking about?

I'm reading the words, but they're not making any sense.

[Azlady]

42. Not only HELL no but...

Hell NO! Not only for our country and the world, our sweet men & women who lost their lives... to those that are unemployed, lost their busines. The fear in my life over the last 4 years... NO WAY was it worth it... too many people have suffered, from all walks of life... unless of course your are a buddy of bush/cheney...

[nam78_two]

44. No-not at all

Actually not just no but HELL NO. And same for Gore in 2000. The Bush years will never be anything but a giant step backwards, though hopefully America learns something from it.

[Nye Bevan]

45. No- here's why-

[cemaphonic]

Nah, I like Obama better than Kerry too,

But Bush did a hell of a lot of damage over the last few years. It would be nice to not be in such a deep hole.

[all.of.me]

46. You're out of your mind. Are you better off today than 4 years ago? Not me.

[nomaco-10]

47. NO! How many kids lost their lives in the last four years in Iraq...

How many Iraqi civilians lost their lives? How many people lost their jobs in the US? How many people lost their homes, their health insurance. How many people lost their jobs, their savings, their retirement accounts?

NO, It wasn't anywhere close to being worth the wait.
