The great blue vs. red state debate (Followup to "Reach out and Sneer")

Some of the letters are notable. One example:

Nice rant. I was one of the people who voted for Bush. Am I happy about it? Hell no. I think he is a complete moron who isn't qualified to run around the block, much less run a country. So why would I vote for him? Because the Democrats, in all there glorified wisdom, couldn't come up with any choice better than a flip flopping wanker from Massachusetts and his wonder boy sidekick, the personal injury lawyer (who we all know are pillars of virtue). I have been looking forward to voting Dubya out of office since the day he was elected and instead I get a chance to choose between the lesser of two evils. And as is usually the case, people stick with the devil they know.

Now all I hear is the touting of our beloved Hillary (yes, I am from New York, unlike her) as your candidate for 2008. I guess you have decided to use the Republican strategy and go for name recognition, instead of actual qualifications. Plain and simple, find a viable candidate and I will gladly vote for him/her.

I do agree on one point, we do need a revolution. We need to limit the power of both the Democrats and the Republicans, and create several more political parties. After all, having only two (viable, Nader doesn't count) candidates to choose from is only one candidate away from a dictatorship.

4. the self-rationalization

of these people that allegedly hated bush, but STILL voted for him because there was 'no viable alternative' just leaves me speechless

5. Reminds me of my friend who once purchased a 'Le Car'.......

Remember the Renault Le Car? It was a POS. My friend had one, hated it, got it totalled and then went out the next day and bought another one. His rationale?

"At least I know what will go wrong with it."

:crazy:

6. These people are totally stupid and think that we......

.....ought to feel sorry for them. They are as big of morons as the one they voted for! They can't even come up with real reasoning why they voted for the dumba**! All they are really saying is look at me I'm a total dumba** that went and voted for one just like me! Yet the cry and complain when their dunba** does something they don't like? They want to blame the canidate and his supporters that actually have a brain for their problems?! These people need to F*** OFF! Go tell your problems to your king you voted for because others don't have no use for all dumba**'s!!
