Part of Me is Happy - I Want Bush to Be Responsible |
|
for all of the crap that he has started. I want him going down in flames with the rest of his evil cabal. If Kerry had won, Bush would have been off the hook and just a footnote in history.
I truly believe that he will go down like Nixon. It is the only thing that gets me through the day that someday Americans will wake up like the rest of the world already has and see that we are not wrong about this man and his complete lack of intellegence and his complete incompetency.

And in a very sick twisted way I want to see what he is going to do to this country. This is totally wrong and I know it. Too many people are going to suffer and die because of this administartion, and while I don't support this, I want to have bush at fault when the economy hits rock bottom, when there is a draft, when ss is totally screwed over.

3. That's kind of my "Lemonade from Lemons" |
|
rationalization as well.
But then I look to my children's future and it doesn't look so great.
Canada is looking better and better.

5. I have been torn over this as well. I have told several people the same. |
|
He has a lot to answer for.
2000 Election 9/11 Patriot Act Iraq 2004 Election
If he had been defeated, the people who did this would get away with it. The heat would be off because the spotlight would not be on them any longer. But the Bush is still there, the anger and the betrayal is still there. I agree with you, with Bush in the White House, it's a bit easier to keep an eye on him.

6. I heard the same thing, too, ... |

Edited on Thu Jan-06-05 10:27 PM by RevCheesehead
...from Gov. Jim Doyle of Wisconsin - at the Kerry rally in Appleton in late October. He kind of whispered, "you know, sometimes ya think it might be better if these idiots had to stay in office and clean up after their own messes."
Jim took over for a governor who SPENT THE ENTIRE TOBACCO SETTLEMENT to balance his budget, and left the state finances in shambles. I was telling him how I appreciated the fact that he had to make some tough, unpopular decisions, but in my opinion, good ones. That's when he nodded towards Kerry and told me what he did.
Did he "know" anything? No, I seriously doubt it. But I was thinking about his comment today.

9. I keep hearing today wasn't a good day |
|
Today for me, was a very good day indeed.
We aren't moving on and accepting Bush Inc. We like him just as little today as we did yesterday.(maybe even less if that is possible. I won't even rant about how much I dislike him. There is still evidence coming in from OH and other states. I look forward to his impeachment. Of course, snake that he is has dodge it with WMD and 9/11 by not testifying under oath. Avoided, with Gonozlas at his side, Abu Ghraib War Criminal (that he is). But we will get him.
Today was the first strike of the drum, We must move forward with that same single beat. The first step into battle. We still have work to do. Election reform is something I wanted with my heart and soul. I will keep pushing for it. It MUST NOT be something we scoff at and turn away from. Or belittle it's importance because we feel betrayed.
Did he steal it? Yes or he had knowledge of it. They know, we know they stole it! Why would you refuse to vote for paper trails if you weren't planning on hijacking the election over and over again. That is why they got so damn defensive today. Don't let defeat, defeat you. You are on the side of right. There is nothing wrong with fighting for democracy. Right wing neo's made fools of themselves today by Delegitimizing Suppression and free elections.
Dem's went out on a limb today, for you and I. They weren't alone we were there too. In every house, on the internet, in the streets. We stood and hollered, cheered, and fought. You should be proud of that first step.
I'm immensely proud of Boxer and Tubbs. I admire that other's spoke with her. I admire they took the risk, and stood against the backlash that is sure to come in the coming days.
I went out and bought orange ribbon, I have one pinned on every single coat and sweater (so I can't forget to show it off) I'm proud to stand for election reform.
We know it was stolen, I believe it! (not all of us do, but I do).
I'm not laying down because Bush is in power. He isn't my president! He's just RESIDENT. Until the reform is committed to and held up to standards we can accept. They won't know peace. Let's make them so sick of hearing it, they will want it too.
