rubberdinghy Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 I'm listening to Kerry's concession speech right now... I so want this guy to be president. Imagine... an intelligent, compassionate and well spoken man in the white house. *sigh* And an unbeleivable smile...That guy has the whitest teeth I have ever seen!

badams Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 The scary thing is he actually gained popularity in the popular vote. It gives me a chill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggrtrhhrtgg Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 the real scary thing is that the republicans also have control of the Senate, so all legislation will get passed, the courts will have conservative judges... unfortunately my friends--- history is inevitable.

ggrtrhhrtgg Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 The United States will become the ideal conservative country--all agendas that the Republicans had are a go. Our neighbours foreign policy will revolve around special interest groups... aka, the rich of the world get richer, the poor of the world get poorer.... The War in Iraq will escalate and continue for a full term--- the new "Vietnam" Probable massive terrorist attack to follow in the next year... which could escalate/spiral out of control--although, that is merely speculation... Gas prices will soar military spending will soar... Lots of happy white people in the States. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davey Boy 2.0 Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 It's no holds barred for that lying snivelling monkeyman. God think of it- he hasn't had to answer to anyone for his deceptions, lies and crookedness. Now he's got carte blanche, anything goes now. And given that he doesn't have to worry about getting re-elected he's really going to go hog wild. I fully expect him to get right back on the coke- he'll be showing up to news conferences with white powder smeared across his face. I can't wait to read HST's take on the state of the union... the good doctor's bound to have an apocalyptic outlook now (ie. moreso than usual) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimmyB Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Bush has also won the popular vote by a large margin, even if Kerry ends up winning Ohio! Votes for Bush 58,296,120 (51%), votes for Kerry 54,778,889 (48%). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I think this is the most sobering statistic. Most Americans really do want Bush in power. Personally I think the most sobering fact is: out of some 293,027,571 people (July 2004 est.) only 113,075,009 votes got counted. For the "Greatest Democracy" in the world that doesn't seem like a very acurate representation of the will of the people. Let alone the fact that most states seem almost evenly divded. Canada as a country has a way worse turn out rate in the last few elections in comparison America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggrtrhhrtgg Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 have to agree with Timmy B... first, not all of the population can vote... and second 60% + is the highest turnout in 40 years... much better than our turnout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamilton Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 Canada as a country has a way worse turn out rate in the last few elections in comparison America. Not true. Canada's voter turnout, over the last five elections (% of eligible voters): 1988: 75.3% 1993: 69.6% 1997: 67% 2000: 61.2% 2004: 61% (this one is unofficial, the others came from Statcan) This American election had the highest turnout in years, with around 60% of eligible voters voting.

peipunk Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 I've got a great idea...just like they weight how many electoral college votes a state gets by population, individual votes should be weighted by intelligence of the person voting! So the millions of Johnny Rednecks down south who are saying we should just nuke everybody else might only count for a half or a quarter of a vote each, while all the people who actually know whats going on might actually count for 2 votes each. Whaddya think, do you think its too late to get them to recount this election?? :: :: :: :: :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
