1. possibly
battered wife syndrome is more like it, which is kind of like stockholm syndrome. i think america has a love/hate relationship with bush. they hate what he does, but they love HIM.

3. when you start to empathize, sympathize with your captors?
Am I remembering my syndromes correctly?

I think you may be onto something, unfortunately.

6. Sort of or where hostages start to sympathize with their captors and let
me explain myself, or I bet the Americans were so beholden to Bush and Dickhead Cheney for not letting the terrorist goons of Al Quaeda attack them that they voted for them for another 4 FLIPPING years.

8. On second thought maybe the "glitches" in the so called Black Box voting
systems were part of the problem.

10. The problem ain't in the glitches.
The problem is when they seem to be running smoothly. The focus on the glitches is another distraction from the SYSTEMIC problem with the code.

5. GOD GAYS GUNS
The election was tilted by religious zealots who fuck their altarboys, but are against gay marriage, who have never served the country, but love guns. Dying is the generation that saved the world, in charge are now the hippies/dodgers who became conservatives and the young who dont know what its like to sacrifice. We have become the religious fanatics our ancestors fled in Europe, we have become the zealots that were the Nazis, and the idolizers who were the Japanese...in a word after saving and changing the world, we have become the enemies weve defeated.

We have nothing to fear but fear itself...has become FEAR FEAR FEAR TERROR TERROR TERROR

America 2004:
male cheerleader=athlete,very macho, athlete =liberal pussy, not macho
intelligence = bad, ignorance= good
draft dodger - war hero, war hero- liberal whimp
druggy/alky= moral, combat vet, clean history= immoral
allies= saudi arabia vs allies= europe, canada, south korea etc
good on terror= love saudis weak on terror=never let saudis run usa
