I hate being American

U2Traveller · Nov 5, 2004

I've decided I hate being American. I want Utah to secede from the union. I like Utah.

I voted for Kerry. I voted for him for a reason. I wish he had won. I do not have confidence in Bush. I don't think things will get better with him. I didn't like that he said it would be more of the same, like I would be happy to hear that.

I am conservative, but I voted for Kerry. So did many conservatives I know. Why oh why didn't he win? At least then there would've been a CHANGE, ANY change, some kind of change.

I'm glad I voted for Kerry. I'm proud I did, I think a lot rested on it.

Now, we're doomed, because 51% voted for Bush. I really don't know why. Sure, he's more likeable, but so what? Actually, I thought Kerry looked pretty likeable, too. I feel really bad that Kerry lost.

I can't hide the things that made me vote for Kerry.

I don't want to be killed because 51% voted for Bush. And I'll tell you this, no matter WHO is president of the U.S., I will INDEED leave the country myself if my son is ever threatened with going to war for ANY president. I won't do it. War is over. It's a new day.

I absolutely hate what Bush did over in Iraq. I am very frustrated. Very.

But, you know what, instead of complaining and whining and picking people apart because of it, we need to stand up and fight HARDER and that does include backing up people like Bono. Truly.

Truly, the only solace is he only has four more years...hey, those who are for peace, PLEASE get your butts in shape and get a better candidate next time...and keep your mouths shut, and learn how to win!!!

Hey, I just noticed I'm an acrobat. Is there something between the fly and acrobat? How many posts turns you into an acrobat?

I voted for Bush, I love being a Christian American, and I'm proud that the majority of voters agree with my leader and I. I just can't wait for 2008 until I can flush Hillary, just like I flushed the Johns on Tuesday and flushed all the far-left Hollywood libs who lack morals and values.

U2Traveller · Nov 5, 2004

I hope Hilary runs, actually, because I think it's time for a woman president, and I want a Democrat, and I will vote for her.

Wow. I think I'd vote for her, too. I know she's very smart.

My point is, basically, is that it's time for a woman president in the U.S. of old A.

I think BOTH Hilary and Condoleeza (?) would be good candidates, and being an independent, I could go either way. Just, we need a major change, and I can't think of anything more majore than this one. And, being as they are women, I think either of them from either party will do a better job.

you forgot to add "Mwah... mwah-ha-ha... mwah-ha-ha-ha-HA"

U2Traveller · Nov 5, 2004

Oh, I wish I could laugh, too, but...eh. I really like Bush, I really do. I PREFERRED to vote for him, but he's just too reckless for me.

kellyahern · Nov 5, 2004

I'm not laughing, that post just reminded me of something an evil cartoon villian might say, with the "my leader and I" bit . . . all that was missing was the evil laugh to go along with it :shifty:

U2Traveller · Nov 5, 2004

Oh. Lol.

U2Traveller · Nov 5, 2004

I vented and I feel so much better. Just had to get that off my chest. Like I stated in another thread, I still don't think it would be a bad idea for Utah to secede from the U.S. of A., though. However, being right in the center of it... :help:

I think its pretty funny that you want Utah to suceed because Bush won the election. Do you realize that Bush won 71% of the vote in Utah? In fact, Bush won a higher percentage of the vote than any other state in the U.S.A.

Oh, it's not because of Bush that I want to. It's because of the rest of the world.

U2traveller, you should stay so we can fight the course this administration is taking us!

U2democrat · Nov 5, 2004

that's the great thing about america, we can fight the power

. chin up. it's going to be a tough road but we can manage if we stick it out.

Mark Freedman · Nov 5, 2004

If I had a choice between Rice and Clinton, I would vote for Rice. I like her a lot. Either way, I also think it's way overdue for a woman president. Time for a woman to be in the position to change the world.

U2democrat · Nov 5, 2004

i wouldn't vote for either. not because they're women (hey i'm all for a woman president) i just want someone more ambitous for the country as opposed to themselves as president.

i sort of think that anyone who wants to be president in today's political climate are out for themselves, not the country - regardless of party lines.

nbcrusader · Nov 5, 2004

Let's take a vote. Should we kick Utah out of the Union? I mean, let them secede.

Actually, isn't Texas the only state with the right to secede?

U2_Guy · Nov 5, 2004

The forniture you can rearrange don't trade your dreams for some small change.

What is that suppose to mean?

Actually, I think that they claim the right in their state constitution but they don't actually have the right to do so federally, no state does.

I mean, they could try obviously. And they would fail.
Didn't they do that already?

Whatever. The original poster is absurd. Bush is a moron, we know it, but he is the choice of our democracy, we aren't going to sink with him and we weren't going to sink with Kerry.

Get over it.

U2Traveller · Nov 5, 2004

It's not Bush I'm afraid of. He's not the scary person. It's the rest of the world that is scary. Bush, I'm fine by him. I even downright like the guy. It's the rest of the world that is :evil:

Con(dolezza) Rice is too deep into oil to be elected

verte76 · Nov 7, 2004

I plan to fight if necessary, and I think the necessity will come. I'm going to the drugstore this afternoon and stock up on poster board for demonstration signs. Even if I can't change any minds, I'll be honest to myself and my beliefs. Protesting is chicken soup for us tormented liberals.

The chairman of the All-India Anti-Terrorist Front (AATF), and former Youth Congress chief Maninderjeet Singh Bitta holds a banner during a staged rally with school students supporting U.S. President Bush’s re-election in New Delhi on November 6, 2004. Recently Bitta said India should emulate Israel in evolving anti-terrorist strategies. REUTERS/Desmond Boylan

You guys are really hated, it is interesting that this rally is a staged one but rallys in the Arab world are always genuine.

I agree. We live in a period of great self-absorbtion, and apart from a few virtuous souls, people who go after money and power in general are pretty flawed characters.

Disappointed with how the American presidential election concluded? Apparently, Bush was disappointed, too! Whether or not you value "liberal" news sources, pay attention to the hard numbers and facts presented in the articles below. Then, ask yourself, “Do I value democracy?”
