To Doohickie, Faye and DU peeps.
Edited on Wed Nov-24-04 09:49 PM by politicasista
Please don't jump all over me. I am just typing this because I am confused right now.

The reason: ever since the election ended, I have been trying to hold out for hope that Smirky and his neocons will be exposed as a crooks, and fraud, but I don't know anymore.

Everyone keeps saying that there is fraud, but where is the evidence? The media is slowly reporting it, but they waited two weeks.

I don't like coming off deep, but maybe God wanted Bush to finish cleaning up the mess he made, so that's why he's in there again. People didn't want change. It's sad but true.

Despite all the constant Kerry bashing, I don't want to blame Kerry. I fault the DNC leadership, and his campaign staff in not letting him be himself and trust his instincts (i.e. Swift Boat Liars, etc).

But anyway, all this talk about 2006 and 2008 is tiresome. We should focus on the present, and see what the future holds.

I would have loved to see Kerry/Edwards sworn in as president/vice president on January 20, but I don't know. Based on the statements from Jesse Jackson, the Dems, and others, it sounds like they want to move on and just accept "more of the same." As Tavis Smiley said, Bush can't run anymore after this.

If Kerry wants to run again, he is going to have to prove some DU people wrong. Had he won, none of us would be having this coversation of coulda, woulda, shoulda, and who should have run. Although I didn't agree with his stance on Iraq, he seems intellegent and classy, but unfortunately, the Anti-Bush people energized Bush's base alot more.

I would vote for Kerry again, but it looks like the Dems want a southern candidtate who can movtivate the base. Something that Clinton always did.

Anyway, thanks Doohickie and Faye for the encouragement.

3. God wanted Bush to finish cleaning up the mess he made?
God doesn't have to live in the mess he made! We do, & no one has any confidence that he WILL or is capable of cleaning up this mess. That was the whole point of fighting to get him OUT. Sorry you feel like this but I don't cave that easy!

4. Think of the evidence of vote tampering as a huge, slumbering dragon
We're just poking at it now, trying to get it to come out of its cave. When we do that, and it emerges, believe me, people will be frightened enough to do something about it.

Right now all we're seeing is some puffs of smoke and a few muffled snorts. Give it time.

Believe me, George ain't no dragon-slayer.

5. I will give it time
I just pray everyday that somethimg good comes out of all of this. That Kerry is really fighting behind the scenes. So many haters have me discouraged at times.
