11/2 It's been fun. Whatever happens tonight remember that we're all
Americans. We all have the country's best interest at heart. We
simply disagree on the path to follow. No one is evil. No one will
bring down civilisation. Someone will be elected and life will go on.
Then we can do it all over again in 4 years. You can thank the great
wisdom of our nation's Founding Fathers for creating a system of checks
and balances and short election cycles to minimise any damage from
poor voter choices. However it turns out we still have the best
political system ever devised. It isn't perfect but no one's ever
done better.
\_ Actually, the vast majority of the civilised world wants us to
kick Dubya out.
\_ Majority of uncivilized world too. -- ilyas
\_ You forgot the fact that 1/2 of the US population is
not civilized, that they are fanatics who
believe that global warming is a myth, that gays and
minorities are bad, that privatizing and trusting
the corporation is much better than trusting the
government, that if you are not with them then you are
against them, that talks are for pussies (Reaganism--
spend as much as necessary to defeat the evil), that if
you don't make a vote that helps in their cause you will
go to hell.
\_ I would say a lot of Dubya-voters are afraid of what kind
of mess Kerry will get them into. They are thinking:
At least with Dubya, there has not been a 9/11 repeat.
Kerry the liberal will just let in all the terrorists.
\_ As China always say, we will not let foreign influence interfere
with domestic politics.
\_ You're joking right? Go google for foreign lobbying groups
in the US, you'll find the Saudis, the English, etc all are
represented way more than you'll ever be in DC.
\_ Heh, I always think it's funny when people site this as a
point for Kerry.
point for Kerry. \_ cite |
