I feel like I'm living in a nightmare.
Edited on Wed Nov-03-04 12:17 PM by UCLA Dem
I really thought JK was going to pull this off. I really fear for our country and its safety.

Most of all I am so disappointed in the American public (half at least). From what I heard on the news, people were not voting for * because of the Iraq or terrorism, but because of "moral" issues.

To me this translates into "homophobia." How could a country that has worked so hard to give freedom to all its citizens be so bigoted and blind? All these people are dying in Iraq and all they care about whether or not the "gays" (to use their jargon) marry. I am appalled, saddened and disgusted.

Today is truly a sad day for America. There was the chance to have a truly great president and it has been thrown away and for what? God help us.

3. I'm so furious right now with the south.
I feel that I have to tone it down, but I don't want to. I really really hate the south. And I'm sick of funding the wars they wage. How can they think they are moral people when they go against the main principles of their own religion?

I live in a college town that is surrounded by counties filled to the brim with right-wing, evangelical, homophobic, xenophobic hypocrites. Most of my relatives are southern republican wingnuts. My workplace has only two democrats. (We're both college educated women by the way.) They are the worst sort of "christians" that you can imagine. Their issues are Gods, Guns and Gays. If you waved a bible and a flag (US or the more popular Stars & Bars)at them, the fuckers would follow you over a cliff. I am beyond words. RAGE.

4. It's the end of the world as we know it (and I feel like shit)
This country has been handed to the homophobes and the xenophobes. And the scary thing is that Bush actually got a majority this time. He didn't need daddy's pals to fix things so that he won, he actually got more votes. That thought makes me ill.

5. I'm with you, feel the same way. A horrible horrible nightmare that
will last 4 more years. It is not just homophobia, it's anti-black, anti-welfare, etc., feeling and a bunch of other things, like shrub's the war president and people don't like switching mid-war, etc. A lot of people still believe there are WMD in Iraq and also still believe it's a "catastrophic success" because that's what Cheney tells them, etc. A lot of people believe tax cuts to the wealthy help the American economy, despite all the evidence it has not. Never, NEVER underestimate the stupidity of the American public.
