New Forcrissakes.
The neocons won by 1%. After voting shennanigans. Without a positive candidate (most votes that Kerry got WERE 'against Bush').

What next? Are you going to start agreeing with the Neocons that this election was a 'mandate'?

Imric's Tips for Living
  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.


Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.

New I have to agree with imric...
beware reading too much into stuff.

Some people voted for Bush because he's a wartime President and changing horses mid-stream etc.

But I think we lost the election because Kerry is the Democratic Bob Dole. (War Veteran, no charisma, etc.) He's an upstanding guy and all, but he's NOT Presidental Leadership material.

That said, I agree with the Republicans on this one. I think there's some fundamental flaws in the Democratic Party Leadership. (Personally, I think Dean is the first step to fixing some of those flaws.)

New Right. 1% of those who voted.
