Ok so maybe I have been gone too long. Can somebody please explain to me how Bush won. I mean (Pardon my language) WHAT THE FUCK?!! Well I can say that I am happy to be out of the country for the next few years, but what happened. what happened to Edwards' states. Middle America sucks as usual but I would of figured that most of the east coast would of been democratic or something. I just can't believe that we actually re-elected this guy again, when all is said and done he is going to be known as one of the worst presidents in the history of the united states and we freaking reelected him. It still seems sureal. Anyways all I know what I have been able to follow on the web if somebody could give me some insight as to what happened since I left that would be great. All I can come up with is that americans are some of the dumbest people on earth. None of the japanese people here can believe it either. And if you did vote for Bush I don't want to offended you, but come on.

Japan
In 1603, a Tokugawa shogunate (military dictatorship) ushered in a long period of isolation from foreign influence in order to secure its power. For 250 years this policy enabled Japan to enjoy stability and a flowering of its indigenous culture. Fol...more info

Re Bush's election
The bottom line is that the Republicans organized more people to get to the polls in the swing states than did the Democrats. Karl Rove is the genius. I understand that he got sample ballots in every church service for six weeks and middle America can't accept gays. Get on Michael Moore's website and he has 17 points to think about.

true true.
dumb is just the beginning. i think that what it came down to was that Kerry just didnt know how to speak to the Democratic base the way that Bush obviously could speak to the conservative right and the wealthiest Americans (like Kerry) I voted for Kerry, and wanted desperatly for him to win, but never quite got the enough excitement about him to try and convince anyone I knew that HE was the best person for the Democratic party. I just voted against Bush. I would guess that Bush supporters went and got the vote out and scared people into thinking that homosexuals were gonna take over middle america. that foreigners were gonna bomb their churches if kerry was elected. The ONLY person that I saw from the democratic camp that spoke to the democratic base was the Clinton's. Those two still get me excited and optomistic. They are democrats through and through and that is something worth telling people about. all i really know about kerry still is that he thinks very highly of his time in the armed services. who gives a crap.

Sad but true
Yes, there are officially 59 million+ stupid people in this country. If you look at the states "won" by Bush, they follow the old Mason Dixon line seperating the confederate south during our first civil war. Barring any voter fraud, which as you know is not beyond the capabilities of this administration, it was a disgustingly convincing win by our clueless leader. What happened to Kerry? He was bamboozled, blindsided by droves of evangelical christians bent on hurrying the onset of the 'End of Days' they and Bush deeply believe... 'Moral values' is the buzz phrase following this latest national embarassment, Lily-white country rubes afraid of boys kissing and the well being of POTENTIAL children. I guess I've said enough, better off there thn here. Peace.
