War hero? :confused: Don't make me laugh! War hero's don't throw their medals away and lie to congressional hearings. ..... If he wasn't lying he was delusional, and either way wasn't a great choice for president.

And as for "statesman", well in my part of the US (meaning almost everywhere except New England and the far North East, or the West Coast) Kerry's liberal agend does not make for the sort of statesman that is going to get elected. Kennedy was the last democrat from anywhere but the South to be elected president - and the dems should have realized that Kerry was no Kennedy. :rolleyes:

stop complaining they were both shit candidates, :D

Re: Election Results Shell Shock!?!
 

you have to go to war first, in order to be a war hero.

anyway, now's not the time for this or the place. last week it meant something, now it doesn't matter.

Re: Election Results Shell Shock!?!
 

Yup. More people were killed in Iraq today. Let's see how George W. cleans up his own mess.

Re: Election Results Shell Shock!?!
 

Agreed. All of the Democratic candidates were very lacklustre, but then, so was G.W Bush when he originally ran.

As much as I do not favor the current administration's policies, you don't change horsemen during the apocalypse. It's their **** up, let them work it out. Don't fool yourselves into thinking that Kerry coming into power will instantly make everything in the middle east peachy - the region will be ****ed no matter who is there, and they will always hate us. British history in the M.E teaches us that backing away now won't do any favors.

Also, Kerry's senate voting record was very poor. It's akin to the kid who always skipped class showing up wanting to run for class president. He has done nothing truly worthwhile.

It will be interesting to see who runs in '08 after all this is over. Guliani vs. Clinton anyone? :)

Sure you do. That's the way the U.S. extricated itself from Vietnam.
That's how we got Churchill into office at the beginning of WWII.

"They" did..but he was railroaded by the Republican controlled media over a year ago. The Republicans did the damage in the race for the Democratic candidate.
Was it Franklin who said..Those who trade their liberty for security deserve neither??? IMO the beauty and ideals of this country were sold down the river last night....sad, very sad.

I have to say, my wife and I are with you on this (but not the leaving part :D ).

Four more years of a dumb arse still screwing up Iraq yet claiming their on the right track.

Expect a draft in a year or two despite his assurances that it won't be. There is no other way as Bush seems to hate having the assistance of others ("don't forget Poland") and troops are thin on the ground.

Expect another 9/11. Something big will happen in this term involving Bin Laden and Bush will probably use it as an excuse to invade Korea.

Expect a four year delay in important stem cell research and watch thousands of frozen eggs, left over from IVF treatment, wasted. As Bill Maher says, "This one goes out to all the conservative women out there. If you're so sure the embryos needed for stem cell research are precious human life that can't be destroyed, then implant one in your uterus and bring it to term."

Another four years of a schizophrenic President that claims (g)od told him to smite Al Qaeda........but then he missed. Wow, Bush even goes against (g)od.

Let's see what the reputation of the US will be in four years. It can't get any worse than it is now right? Right? Okay, maybe it could get worse and it probably will.

On the upside. Bill Maher and Jon Stewart have four more years of humor :D

I think the scariest thing to me is that 50% of the US (going by election results), like the idea of bombing the shit of a country that didn't attack their own soil even when they were lied to by their Commander and Thief....oops...sorry...Chief. Granted, the President and the media did an excellent job of marketing Iraq as a threat and a target. But even when the truth (or lies) came out, they still believe in it :confused:

I married into a family of Democrats so everyone is depressed today. I wasn't overly impressed by either candidate although I thought Kerry did better in the debates.

However, I would have loved to have seen Kerry win to see how his magnificent head of hair coped after a few years in the hot seat. Blair and Bush have each got a bit thinner and greyer since they took office.

Re: Election Results Shell Shock!?!
 

everything's dark but now i see a silver lining :D

Re: Election Results Shell Shock!?!
 

lets just say Kerry was more immoral than Bush, that justifies the win. horse faced Kerry had a difficult time riding his high horse.

Re: Election Results Shell Shock!?!
 

And how long did that take? Maggie was in for what was it, twelve years? And then how many years of Major? Let's hope the Americans come to their senses sooner than this...

Who do you think the republicans will put up as candidates in 2008 to follow George W? And hopefully, the democrats will come up with far better candidates than for this election. I'm convinced that if there was a better democratic choice, Bush would have lost.

I'm very depressed today. I went to bed hoping the news this morning would be that there would be a change. Instead, I felt tearful.

no, lets not.

this one is definitely a hard one to swallow. another reason not to let your imagination run wild and out of control.

Re: Election Results Shell Shock!?!
 

Thats so true. It is a backward system that allows the Dems to appoint a leader 3 months before the election. This should be done 3 months after the election in order to have an established public figure.
