Looks like we get another 4 long crappy years under the (soon to be completely) dictatership that is President Bush. For the life of me, I don't understand how someone could look at Bush and NOT realize he's done a poor job. And then if they DO realize he's done a bad job, why do they continue to vote for him. The direction that this country is taking is really scaring me. I've never been so embarrassed by my country. The number of people who voted for Bush out of purely religious idealogies is staggering. Not to mention the several states who just voted to ban gay marriage. Good to see we're taking a step backwards. Many years from now, those votes won't appear as 'preserving our morals' but will probably be viewed as black civil rights from the 60's. Way to go US. I hope 6 months from now I have a good reason to avoid the impending draft. After all, how else will Bush be able to fight his war if there's nobody left to fight it for him?
Oh, and I hope those of you who either votes for Bush, or didn't vote for Kerry are happy with the fact that Bush will probably elect between 1-3 Supreme Court Justices to a SP that is already tilted in the conservative's favor. Looks like a fun 20 years of law.
I found a very funny video today. Whoever made the video did a REALLY good job remixing the sound...er I mean, shame on Bush for saying those things!
Grr, I'm very upset. I wish that debates and such wouldn't be played at 5pm PST. That's when I get out of work and I ended up missing both the Democratic Presidental Debate as well as the California Recall Debates. I really wanted to see if my candidate Howard Dean (don't laugh) would bust a move on any other candidates, but it ended up being pretty low key. Pretty much just an hour and a half of Bush bashing (although it is mostly deserved, I don't know if I like the way that the Democrats are bashing Bush politically, but that's another story). The highlight of the debates ended up being the Rev. Al Sharpton. That guy is very interesting. The recall debate wasn't much fun without Arnold there. Of course I did miss Arnold on the Fox News Channel last night too, what a jip.
So I hear that Arnold Schwarzenegger is running for governor of California. Despite the fact that he really hasn't been in politics before (although look at Reagan), I really like this idea. He's a pretty moderate Republican which really actually appeals to me. Some of his policies include favoring abortion rights, favoring gay rights, and "reasonable" gun control. Seeing as how most other Republicans are too conservative for my tastes, and the fact that no real good Democrat has come forward, as of this moment my vote goes to Arnold.

Here's a Washington Post article in which "Lieberman attacked former Vermont governor Howard Dean and several other rivals for the Democratic presidential nomination yesterday, arguing that they have embraced extreme left ideas that threaten to return the party to political exile." Go Dean!
