Both George W vitories were very difficult for me to accept. But the first was very difficult because of the emotional rollercoast I was on with the result and the premature declared victory. I couldn't even talk about the election.
Although I disliked Bush much more during the second election, John Kerry was tough to get excited about. In both cases I was angry at both Gore and Kerry for running such poor campaigns.
You need a kleenex for all that emotion?
The outcome of the 2008 election was disturbing. I didn't approve of John McCain and so didn't bother voting, but the response to Obama's victory was what disturbed me most. The pepole were in a euphoric mania after having elected the single worst president in history.
All the ones that my candidate lost. And even some that my guy won
Hell, Every election is a disappointing mess of self righteous illogical arguments.
I love democracy.
Let's stop pretending that Obama is the worst president in history. He's far greater than Bush 43 or Reagan, to name two, and the crook Nixon has to be added to that list. And guys like Pierce, Buchanan, Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover.
And McCain would have been far worse. Look what he's become.
Carter and Obama.
All of them.
I was very upset in 2000 when Gore won. Thank God the Supreme Court stepped in and overturned it.
1860. I was shocked when they fired on Ft. Sumter!

I really don't have a problem with the presidents themselves on either side. It's the people that get overly crazy with the candidates that I can't stand. Obama's fan base wins the award for being the looniest & most obnoxious ones at that.
I feel they'll do more harm than good for him with this next election. Many moderates are sick of the Obama hype.

Obama is the worst President in history. He is making the same mistakes as Bush on a greater scale and in a much more dire situation. He has brought us to the doorstep of economic ruin for all the reasons you think he has saved us from it.

The Recent election in Ivory Coast. Hundreds dead and many more to come

Who? If Ron Paul doesn't win, I hope Obama does so that people will be forced to confront the failure of big governent.
I've noticed lately that it's the allegedly patriotic folks on the Right who are rooting for America to fail. Funny.

Nothing I wrote expresses a desire for America to fail. I want Ron Paul to get elected because he is the only candidate who can prevent the collapse of America. You equate "confronting the failure of big government" with "rooting for America to fail" because you are aggressive, obnoxious, intellectually bankrupt and desparate for something to distort. I know you think it's funny to distort reality and that's why you're so disgusting.
what is amazing is that free market fundamentalists have a leg to stand on. look at how the banks did as we deregulated them. they didn't even have the discipline to prevent themselves from running their businesses into the ground, which in turn nearly caused the total and complete destruction of the US economy.

Unfortunately, if you are still operating on the belief we ever had anything resembling an unregulated banking environment in the US, you are too irrational to be educated by facts and logic, and will have to undergo painful intellectual rehabilitation by having your standard of living reduced violently for many years. Because your perception of reality is filtered through the minds of others, you are unable to apprehend simple, obvious facts or detect glaring contradictions even when they are staring you in the face. Eventually, you will be faced with a choie: if you ever want to live in viable economy egain, you will have to abadondon the idea that college professiors, media personalities, government officials and public opinion polls are mankind's proper sources of truth and knowledge, and start looking at the facts of reality directly, for yourself.
Actually he isn't retarded as no person who grads from Yale is a retard. The fact is, W. Bush has committed crimes while being fully conscious and sane. Previously to the W. Busg regime, Clinton had straddled the fence, and had attempted to negotiate full human rights for all inhabitants of Palestine and Israel. After winning in 2000, W. Bush aligned himself with the Nazi Party in Israel. He had Colin Powell at the UN Coneference on Racism veto the resolution declaring Zionism as equivalent to Naziism. That was seen by Islam as a Declaration of War. 9-11 happened and we all know the war in the Middle East is a lost cause now.
