From France: To all of you American Kerry Supporters, all my respect and

admiration.
I'm incredibely sad now, sad and even worry about our World. I'm really disapointed by the decision that took the American people, I'm appaled I should even say and I still can't understand.

BUT I'm very proud to have been a bit alongside you in this combat. The way you DUers did fight forces my respect. You are good people and even if anti-americanism may goes rampant in my country because the French do think that Errare humanum est, perseverare diabolicum - and in a sense I can understand that even if I condemn and don't excuse it - I and all the French who know what was your fight will continue to love America and will keep the faith in your great country. I can't tell right now the admiration I have for you, democrats, Kerry supporters, fellow DUers with my poor english because it is too hudge. Please all of you, don't change, ever. I love you all (tears tears tears).:cry: :kick: :thumbsup:

but you made me cry. I guess it's just too easy to do today. Thank you.

not see me because I can't help crying all my sadness like a kid. Oh God.........

one of the worst things about the idiot is how he makes America look. Well, now I guess its clear the majority IS like him. Fuck. How embarassing.

We really did put a lot into it, many of us.

votes. Without a trace.

Please tell the world about us .

I hope you and other Europeans--and Canadians, Brits, Australians, etc.--stay in touch with us. We need to hear from you now more than ever.

we will need a lifeline to the rest of the world, where more sane minds prevail.

Ya know.

We could probably use his help again.

It is within USA. ;)

when we all start applying for political asylum in France.

Truly, the big joke of my day was that at 7 am I just couldn't face this and went to get my copy of France's Most Beautiful Villages and pretended I didn't live here. Until my husband woke up, came in and said "good. where are we going?"

thanks for your thoughts.

Maybe France should offer asylum to all us American refuges. I might apply in a couple of years.

It's a sad day here but you have made it a bit less sad. Thank you kindly.

I'm so ashamed of America today and am horrified at what the rest of the world must be thinking. It was heartwarming and reassuring to read your post and know that at least one person out there outside of America realizes there are a lot of us here who worked hard to remove Bush from power and who vehemently disagree with all that he is doing. Thank you for your post.

Don't know what happened...I've been through three stages of grief.
Denial/disbelief, RAGE, now deep deep sadness.

We were hijacked again..this time more or less legally.

If it could be so, if it were reasonable, I'd ask you and other nationals to come help us. I talked with an Australian in here earlier; he offered his support as well and said if he could help "save us" he and many of his countryfolk were willing...

How sad I am. How sad my family is; my grandson is somber too.

When I get over the sadness, it's back to anger and fighting!!

Please tell everyone you know that not all Americans are idiots!

We are all not morans. Way too many are, but I believe we will win in the end.

Your post yesterday and today made me cry. It's wonderful to feel that our compatriots in other countries support us and mourn with us. :hug:

We appreciate your sentiments. Most of us cried too. Not only for our country but for the world as well. The very first thing I hurt about was the situation in Iraq. I feel so hopeless to help the innocents in Iraq since we do not control the Presidency. These wing nuts are merciless. My heart aches for the world too.

Please forgive us, we really did try our best.

:cry:

Sonia

Our range of emotions is overwhelming but we still have room for gratitude! :hug:

to Her, you and your company of thugs for such a result. Tharey are crimininals......

It implies that ALL of us are on his bandwagon. He's DEAD WRONG.

Please, spread the word in France that we are not all brainwashed zombies. There are still a progressive thinking people in the USA. Sadly, it appears we are in a minority.

the drug dealers! Keep fighting Amerca will wake up, that's SURE !

Thank you. :cry:

FIGHT for election reform at the municipal and state level!
Clean up the American government from the ground up!

But there are some serious problems here. Thank you for the message. :)

Though I'm grieving, your kindness and sympathy have made me feel better. Even though I feel I've lost my country, it's good to know we may not have lost all our friends outside the U.S.

Je suis tres triste aujourd'hui, mais je suis vivante.

Your words mean a lot.

Make sure everyone there knows that only half of America is evil.

By the way, I just found out I can get a Greek passport.Can you give advice to get employment over there?

sorry. Even if it's EU procedures are often quite different from one country to another. It's your very personnal decision but don't you think you would be far more useful in the USA than you would be in Greece?

sad day for america...

There is strong evidence of vote fraud. I don't accept that Bush won this honestly. Even lots of Republican voters didn't support him.

It's so painful to have so much corruption speaking for us with their arrogance and lies. Millions of people stood for hours for change, but those votes were stolen. We are numb and shocked as we were on 9-11.

Thank you so very much.

At a loss for more to say at the moment, but your kind words mean a great deal.

Je ne comprends pas l'ésprit de mes compatriotes. Je craigns le pire pour nôtre pays. Mais j'espère toujours, et je vous remercie de vôtre support moral.

P.S. Quand j'ai lu vôtre message "Ca fait chier comme g un bebe" j'ai cru que le 'g' était une faute de frappe. J'ai demandé à un ami français "Qu'est-ce que 'Ca fait chier comme un bébé' veut dire?" Il a éclaté de rire, puis il l'a lu pour lui-même, et m'a expliqué que le g est j'ai. Mais nous sommes d'accord, l'élection de Bush, ça fait chier comme un bébé. :-)

Sorry, it was stupid internet fast typing. "g" means "j'ai" you are right. In fact I said that I was uspet ("fait chier" in rude french) not to be able to shout my joy if the result would be positive because I have a baby asleep at home. Your friend explained the thing well to you. But I'm silently sad now so it's okay for the baby.....(she is 11 months old and she learnt how to applaude a few weeks ago. She applauded John Kerry during the concede speech. A little peace of joy in a very sad moment... She felt we were sad my wife and I she was very kind and sweet.)

I did more this election year then I ever have: donated, volunteered and attended rallies. My state went Kerry which was no surprise. However, after the exit polls and predictions by those such as Zogby this has been a real downer and I weep for my country. I love France but don't know how I can hold my head high there again.

That was so appreciated. And I'm still shedding tears too. :(

Your post finally allowed me to cry and for that I am truly thankful. I thought last night that my heart had died.

it is a comfort to know that our efforts are not unnoticed. :hug:

Your post brought tears to my eyes. :cry:
Please let all of those that you know......that all Americans aren't evil and horrible.

this election has destroyed me emotionally. I've been on the brink of bursting into tears all day, and now that I'm home, I'm sobbing.

On behalf of Americans who voted against this administration's agenda, I sincerely apologize to the rest of the world. I'm humiliated about what kind of message this sends to the friends who stood by us for so long.

I will say though, although I'm struggling to forgive those who voted for these criminals and murderers, the great majority of Bush voters want his second term to have a significant change of direction from the first. We know better than most how stubborn and closed minded this slime is, but many do not, and truly believe these dirtbags are working for them. When they see that this is the same old song and dance, I think we may sense a shift in the country.

2006 elections will be telling, indeed: to see if America keeps chugging the Kool-Aid, or if they smell a rat.

Please remember the America that we are, the America unrepresented and unreported.

I can't stop crying about this... and moving to France where sane people (and good fashion) exists is not out of the realm of my possibilities.. fortunately my passport is current.

I cannot believe that people would rather have a man in office who will exterminate the middle class, ship their jobs to India or southeast Asia, deny them medicaid, unemployment and food stamps to feed those 'precious children' they're always howling about in their 'right to life' rhetoric, force their young adult children into the draft for the 'flavor of the month' war he wants to wage, and give tax breaks to the wealthiest people---but would rather make it all about gay marriage, as if that justifies the lying, the cheating and the obfuscation he's been putting over on them.

America used to be great because of her people.. that isn't the case anymore. The Puritans have reared their ugly heads once again. The majority seem to rather prefer aspiring to the day shift as a Walfart greeter, dumber than a post, than to wake up out of their stupor and take back their country.

Aujourd'hui, je ne suis pas un Américain. Je suis mon propre souverain. Ainsi sera, groigne qui groigne.

did vote for a change?!? The difference between you and them is 3.5 millions VOTERS ! And most of them rushed, completely in panic, to the polls after the first afternoon exit polls in favor of Kerry while on the other hand many Kerry voters stayed home because of these favorable exit polls and the long lines. USA is not that big red thing we see in the electoral maps ! The electoral majority process is confusing. I'm not confused, period. Yes the chimp wins but when I hear talk about "America has spoken" I'm all over the place. F*ck him.

You're heart is kind. May the blessings of earth shine upon you and your's.

I also feel a total incomprehension for America and a real fear for the future realtionship between US and Europe. Today I ask myself if we aren't more and more different

posts to start a new thread but need help. Husband and I have decided to leave the never ending hypocrisy in North Carolina want to move to Wa or Or any suggstions?
