Am I in Bizarro World ???
This whole election is so fucked up. I never in my life thought that after the 2000,2002 elections, that I would be witnessing Moore,the DNC, Congressman,Senators completely ignore the problems with 2004!
It is beginning to look oh so clear Kerry/Edwards dumped on my vote

This is it folks
I will never vote again

it is who counts the votes
They will elect who they want
jeb will be president in 2008-2012
by fucking 2016 I can only imagine where we will be
I have 2 teenage boys

Canada is beginning to look really inviting

5. Did hell freeze over?
Are we having peace talks with Iraq? Does everyone have healthcare? Did Michael Moore, dapper I might add, just wave his hand saying "four more years!" ? What in the hell is going on around here?
I can't stand this any longer...we have to have a mass protest, I think.

7. I am in Bizarro World with you too, my friend.
When I say that I am disgusted with the Dems' folding so easily post-election - (that includes you, Bill Clinton - "They shouldn't whine about this, that, or the other."), when I say I am fed up and want to move to Canada (not just talking - doing it), I am met with contempt.
I have voted in every election since I turned 18 in 1984. I have voted solidly Democrat, and I feel like I have been taken forgranted.
I don't think that the party leadership gives a rip that we are hurting over the election. A characteristic of good leadership is to rally the masses... so, WHERE IN THE HELL ARE THEY?!
As for Michael Moore... I am speechless. He was fired up before the election, and I don't know what's happened to him.
Beam me up, Scotty!

9. I really would like to wake up from this nightmare soon
Would someone let me in on the big secret that is shutting people up right and left?

It's an asteroid, right? We have no future? Don't worry, be happy?

10. Bottom line is-- and I guess we all know it-- as long as those
damn e-voting machines are used, we don't have a prayer. In using them, the Repugs have, effectively, eliminated Democracy.

It's just too unbelievable.

11. Bless you & your two teenaged boys.
I have two draft-aged boys myself. We have the most careless, shoot-from-the-hip government & I share your disgust. However, I'm not going to allow them the convenience of my giving up on voting. And I'm going to continue writing letters to my senators & congressmen -- despite the fact that I'm in a red state. Hope is all I have left.

12. Did you catch C-SPAN tonight?
They had a replay of a CBC program called The Inquiry. They spoke with a number of people who had hopped the border in both directions. They even managed to dig up a Canadian Fundie! It was quite interesting, but I never cease to be disturbed by the total lies that people believe. A man from the US got up and said there was NO parallel between Iraq and Vietnam and a better parallel would be WWII because we were attacked at Pearl Harbor just like 9/11. At that point I started yelling at the man on TV, "HELLO! Osama Bin Laden attacked the US! Saddam Hussein was not involved!" I feel like we live in a friggin crazy world. I was chatting with a woman at the pub about this tonight. I'm just convinced you can't get through to these people. If they don't see it on Faux News then they don't believe it. We need someone who is liberal to buy Newscorp out! Any ideas how many shares are out there? Could we buy enough to undercut Murdoch and delegate control to someone else? I think this is a worthy plan....

18. cant you see what is happening ?
it started with bush 1. They have mastered the art of election theft.

there will be no fighting them.

If it isn`t in their interest it isn`t shit ! Those people that dont play by their rules will be destroyed.

It wouldn`t be such a kick in the balls knowing that the guy that cheated wasn`t as evil as the bush cartel. I guess its the fact that they are an arrogant lot that just doesn`t give a fuck except for what is in their best interest.

I will protest and fight as hard as I can up until inauguration.
If Bush is sworn in I`m packing my shit and heading a little farther north. At least there I`ll know that my Union will still be intact.

13. The Democratic Party had FOUR FUCKING YEARS to deal with this!
and they didn't do squat.

I am done with the Democratic Party forever and for good and if I could, I'd get the hell out of this country now, because it has ceased to be a democracy.
