Everybody Can Get It Right But Us What A Shame

[wtmusic]

1. too late

we've been that way since 2000

Ain't no way but up

[okieinpain]

3. no shit.

[DELUSIONAL]

13. and the Inauguration when bushie exposed his own daughter

I was overseas at the time and everyone was talking about what that dumb fuck bushie did to his own daughter.

Wardrobe malfunction???

Also -- the people were saying that if that sort of "voting" had happened in their countries -- they would have been ridiculed by the US.

The US is the new Germany and bush the new Hitler -- with a bigger bankroll and a bigger killing machine.

27. : X that was Kerry's daughter. Her dress on film was see through

[htuttle]

30. You're confused

George pulled down part of Jenna's dress when he was dancing with her at his last inauguration, exposing her breast:


The thing with Kerry's daughter's 'see through' dress was several years later, and wholly unrelated.

[mordarlar]

33. Ahh my mistake i had not heard of the bush thing I despise him

[BrklynLiberal]

2. It's Too late. We already are.

[Webster Green]

6. Yeah, and they hate our guts too!

Thanks to smirky!

[PennyMan]

9. I Don't Think Its The People They Hate Its Our Goverment

And Who Can Blame Them

[Webster Green]

20. But the world is figuring out that repukes in general are a threat...

...to the entire planet.

They are a dangerous group with world domination as their goal.

[Seabiscuit]

24. Yup. They're not just laughing at us, they're cursing us. Justifiably.

[Not_Giving_Up]

4. We were the laughingstock on Nov. 2

When, for the second time in a row, our electoral process went bonkers. The rest of the world now sees that we are trying to correct the problem.

[FreepFryer]

5. It's not about appearances, or PR - it's about saving our Democracy.

The damage is done.

[KaliTracy]

7. no not laughingstock.... but others may start wondering what the

hell is going on here -- and is that such a bad thing? If we can't take care of our own elections, how in the hell are we supposed to be the helping other countries become democratic..... That is something that needs to be discussed, even as the Republicans want to brush the matter under a rug.

[Goldeneye]

8. this post by the danish reporter will was interesting

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=203&topic_id=257167

read his take...like the second or third post. happy reading!

[mikelewis]

17. (elected under a formal challenge under suspicions of election fraud)

Yeah, it's a good day.

[Horse with no Name]

10. Had to help daughter register for college today

And missed the outcome of everything so I was searching for news on AM radio--heard some talkshow host say something to the effect that it was Whining Loser Liberal day or something like that.
I wish we had an Air America station closeby.

[jojo54]

15. I feel for ya HWNN

I don't get Air America here in NJ either, but if you have the internet, go to www.airamericaradio.com. Al's on every day and I laugh my ass off.

[jojo54]

11. It's too late, all right

especially when during the 2 hr debate, Rep Deborah Pryce (R-Ohio) told the collective Dems society that they should have "conceded with the grace that John Kerry did 11/2". Boy, if that wasn't a kick in the ass to the Dem party, I don't know what is. And in the meantime, the monkey was sitting in his treehouse, smirking and licking his chimp lips.

[Chipper Chat]

12. As by instinct the animals knew that the tsunami was coming...

...by intelligence and good sense do world communities know that the US government has been hijacked by crazed right-wing aliens from the planet Doofus.

[msgadget]

14. I doubt we have to worry about that

especially since there are way too many other things to REALLY worry about right now and because the rest of the world understands and reports on this administration with more frankness than our own journalists.

You wanna talk embarassing? Embarassing was talking heads lathering on about that damned blue dress or the voting to impeach a president over lying about an extra-marital affair when he was meeting with heads of foreign governments. Since the same party did THAT, I'm sure the rest of the world is none too surprised over the current state of our democracy.

[Mabus]

16. It used to be Russia

but even Boris Yeltsin sobered up once in a while. Bush will always be Bush. We're doomed with the title as long as he and the GOP are hold the government in their tight greedy fists.

[YolandaMartinez]

18. We Need To Get Back to Being a Great Country

[Niche]

19. Hate to tell you this but they hate the people here too...

the rest of the world was waiting for the people to vote * out. we didn't... (sad truth is so many people support *). Heard many people on Democracy Now from other countries talking about this before election. I posted on UN web site to say that our government and media has been hijacked and we are beyond devistated. I don't blame them for hating us we deserve their anger. We all have blood on our hands now. We too are complicit in this government's crimes. We are not looked at kindly.

[glitch]

23. And even if we did vote them out - we let them steal it so same diff

We don't deserve their respect at this point. I hope we can earn it again.

[EFerrari]

34. I've been doing something similar -- asking overseas friends to

write to their own media. And passing evidence that we're not just sitting here and taking it.

[all.of.me]

21. We already are.

I feel like I have to defend myself to my international friends. They all say the same thing - we're not very popular.

[shiina]

22. Yep. Already are. For a long time...about so many things...

[kalidas]

25. It's worse than that

We are the focus of world hatred. Countries will now line up against the US to bring the dollar down in a financial collapse not seen since 1929. And you can take that to the bank.

[PennyMan]

26. Isn't That What Was Reported On The News That Is What Bin Laden Wanted

To Do To The US Not To Attack Us But Bankrupt Us.

[mbee]

28. That's nonsense - all you have to do is tape your wallet shut

Start putting out the word. When telemarketers call I plan to say I don't do business with pugs! Also, anyone who really wants to do something positive should start cancelling their cable subscriptions. Believe me that will do more good than any bumpersticker or letters, etc. LET YOU MONEY DO THE TALKING!

[ClassWarrior]

29. Yes, You And The GOP Were The Laughingstock Of The Whole World.

And Your Standard Bearer Was Tom Delay.

NGU.

[spooked]

31. Yes, Tom Delay got the MOST LAUGHS yesterday.

We have honor, pride and the Truth on OUR side.

Washington, Jefferson & Lincoln would BE PROUD of us.

[mattclearing]

32. Too late. Where have you been the past four years?
