I’m sure all the dems still long for thegood old days of Wacco! Kill all the bible toting bastards and let me get back to my hummer!

>Things were going horribly for Americans with 18% inflation … and the Soviets crushing our Muslim allies in Afghanistan.

No, what the Russians did was to depose one communist government that was facing imminent collapse, and installed a different communist government.

No American allies, nowhere in sight.

I never understood the logic of these events; i guess the communist system was just geting too complicated.

I think it’s more than a bit of a misnomer to call the Afghan and Paki mujahid “our Muslim allies,” when the word allies involves a bilateral relationship. Unless they were trying to save us from Bush or something when they returned the favor in 2001.

Not only hurling blame: http://www.fuckthesouth.com, but issuing humiliating apologies as well: http://72.3.131.10/

Polarization, extremism, and blame all play right into the right wing strategists’ hands (Carl Rove). The liberal approach must be inclusion and ultimately regaining the moral high ground.

Oh, I think Kerry supporters would find plenty to complain about without W, just like we did back in the Clinton era. It would be nice to just complain about school choice, WIPO, and the kind of policies that make the world wary, rather than complain about unilateral invasion, rising poverty levels and infant mortality, and the kind of policies that make the world cringe and take up arms.

I personally would promise to quit kvetching entirely for at least four years if we could have Bill Clinton back. To me, a centrist Dem president and a centrist GOP congress seemed a good recipe. I got to shift my attention to secondary things like cleaner technology and increasing the world’s carrying capacity while dreaming about billion-dollar market caps. Those were the days, eh?

Nah. We would have blamed everything on the Republican congress if Kerry had won.

I can only thank Bush for increasing the appreciation of us for natural resources and making USA citizens realize (once again) the sensitivity of international politics.

The strongest man on earth today is a semi-idiot who damn nearly won a drinking competition in college and who probably sniffed coke in his teenagehood. The man is my role-model.

I’m so happy that Bush is re-elected. Not only did it put all things done against him in a garbage bag of history labeled: “useless” … I mean all the extremely immoral and primitively creative anti-bush tshirts, the stupidly non-documentary Fahrenheit 911, all the stupid anti-warish demonstrations (or should I say “The anti-Bush Parade)

but

it also made the world a more exciting place to live in. I thank America.

now repeat after me: “we don’t care who’s in power, oil is all we need…”

You are absolutely right. I have come to the conclusion that professionals, in general, prefer to complain about things rather than actually be happy. This election will provide people (liberals/professionals) with hours/days of ranting and raving at dinner parties, cocktail hours, and even blogs(!). Paradoxically they may actually be happier!
