John Kerry conceded to George Bush about an hour ago. I am so depressed. George-I-never-made-a-mistake-Bush will not see that he just barely won. All he will know is, he won. He has a Republican congress and will be able to get anything he damn well wants.
Say goodbye to more personal freedom if the Patriot Act is expanded.
All I can hope and pray for is that he doesn't run us too deeply into the ground.
I can see us wasting more money and resources in Iraq, ignoring our own people's needs. Homeland Security and No Child Left Behind will continue to be under funded.
Foreign policy and foreign relations will be SOSDD.
Domestic policy? We'll have more working poor and more working uninsured. I think domestic issues will get the same attention they've gotten the last 4 years ... little to none.
The only up side to this is that there isn't going to be the same long drawn out agony we had in 2000. Bush got to steal that election.
This time around, the election was very close too. It came down to Ohio and no one would say for sure which way it would go. The anchor people said they'd have to go to provisional votes and absentee ballots and that could take weeks.
But I think that John Kerry realized it would divide an already split country and that it would just cause more harm and bitterness. So he conceded. He's a good man.
I also agree with what my friend Nancy said here.
