My condolences to the United States of America at its darkest hour
This Brazilian offers his solidarity to the TRUE AMERICA, a great country under occupation from hostile, anti-democratic forces.

I invite all foreign DUers to come here and join me.

Unfortunately, I fear it will get much worse.

But Brazil rocks! And someday Nightweed will go play there!

After the blackout, come visit us at http://www.nightweed.com!

8. Thank you.
I am trying not to let them make me feel sad so anger is dominating at the moment. This helps a great deal.

9. Thank you.
This is an even darker day than it was four years ago, because we know what these people are capable of.

Today was the day it was all supposed to end. Instead... sigh.

10. A pibroch for you guys over the pond
A "pibroch" is a lament played on the bagpipes and it can reduce grown men to tears. Good luck...you will need it in abundance.

11. England here
We're not doing so much better ourselves with Tony Blair.

I nearly fell asleep during the speech, aside from everything else that man has no rhetorical skills at all.

21. Obrigado!
I would love to live down south of the border, and Brazil seems like such a lovely place!

I thought I was going to move to Vancouver after the election, as friends there invited me to emigrate. One of the things that's keeping me here is that we still need all progressives to continue to fight the good fight through this hell we're living in. Even though I've been less political than I was prior to the election, I know I've got to get over the mourning period & start fighting again.

So, in 2008, if Jebby gets elected, THAT'S IT! I'm outta here.

23. My sincere condolences.
I'm feeling your pain.

Though I also feel a little like an Austrian or a Pole in around 1937...

I may come join you.

My next Brazilian vacation is scheduled for next December-- the elder daughter in our adopted family in Vitoria is graduating from college, and we've promised to attend, unless we end up on the no-fly list. And maybe we'll spend more than 24 hours in Rio this time!

28. Its nice to know that we are not alone.
What worries me is when I hear from you guys, and you say that it can't happen to your country because... I said the same thing 20 years ago and it happened. Be vigilant, because their aims are global.

29. You got that right...
Here in Canada, the neofascist Conservative Party leader Steven Harper is making a HUGE issue out of gay marriage--and has hired a bunch of Repuke consultants to manage his slander campaign.

Today he started banging the gong about "This will lead to legalized polygamy," yadda yadda. Lying through his teeth and knowing it, in other words. He's using a familiar playbook...

33. Kill that movement now. Just point south,
if anyone needs an example of the ultimate melt down of a formerly great society.

31. Thank you. How many days til the assclown is finally out of the
White House? Maybe someone can set up a clock (like the one that calculates the deficit every second) that counts down the minutes...

32. Gracias
pero, no falo portugues, solo español. Yeah I know my Portuguese sucks and it has Spanish mixed in. But hey thinks for the invite all the same. I've had a lot of Brazilian friends. Funny thing is that if I talk Spanish and they talk Portuguese and we both do it really slowly we can understand each other. :)

35. Thank you.
I just once again want to say that I'm really sorry about all of this. I'm going to do what I can in the next few years to stop this from happening anymore. I don't just mean by getting the Democrats in. I mean by making the Republicans in power do what they were hired to do; serve the people. I'm going to hold them up to task whenever there are Bushes and Rices trying to justify endless war based on little to no grounds.
