I'm going to be sensible about this... I may be a Canadian now, but I'm getting a U.S. citizenship soon, before Bush' current term will be up and I had been listening to the election information and all the debates from day one, to the point where I was more interested in American politics than Canadian. I am a left winger, almost completely for socialism and supporting all in society equally, free healthcare and education to all. Now, I know the democratic party wouldn't provide this, but it was baby steps in the right direction in my opinion.

And I never did agree with Bush in the first place. I always viewed him as someone who didn't have the right idea on how to separate church and state, and was unfit to be a president... Or at least make any decisions in certain areas of the government. Especially since I, myself, am gay and planning on being a US citizen. See the problem here? And So, I hoped to God John Kerry would win... (Nader would have been the best, IMO, but he's too big of a long shot)

But he didn't, and you know what? We people who believed in the Democrats made a damn good run at it, but there is NO need for this fighting on the board now and proclamations of doom. While Bush may not be the best for the job, he could be worst. He certainly isn't the next Hitler or Stalin, and he certainly won't blow up the fucking world. So just accept it, we lost, they won.

And to the Republicans, congratulations. You won this rather tight election and won the right to be governed by your candidate for the next 4 years, good for you. And believe me, there is no sarcasm by any means in this post. Congratulations, honestly.

John Kerry said it right when he mentioned the need for 'healing' to begin, with such obvious splits between the Republicans and Democrats in US society. It seems you are more split by your political party than you are by social status nowadays, and that's completely ridiculous, and Kerry, gracious in his defeat, admitted the need to toss such prejudice towards opponents aside and support the president, at least for the time being.

And Bush was not gloating in his victory either, complimenting his opponent. Sure it could be argued he just did this to be formal, but he did it nonetheless, and all in all, it was a great turnout. Not the result I wanted, personally, but it was a great election.

The Republicans earned it, and while I'm Democratic personally, I believe they earned their congratulations.

Good job, Bush, even though I may not agree with ya.

Good, solid, rational and courteous post! Who could ask for more? Personally, I think you'll make a wonderful American. Welcome! :)

Nice post. Finally someone with their head on straight (no pun intended :) )

And, no, I don't see a problem with you being gay and an American citizen. Lots of American citizens are gay. You are perfectly free to be gay in America.

Thank you God for people like Robesia here..!!

May we all be so wise.

Hehe... Thanks for the replies, compliments, and whatnot. I'm glad I seem intellegent and rational to some people, hehe. But I'm just wondering if it was Republicans or Democrats who replied with these words. Maybe the democrats don't agree with me so much, being so accepting over the president, but no matter. I believe in what I said, and I believe some people, especially the really hostile democrats AND republicans, should just take a quick look at this post.

Well, I was the first to reply, so in case you were wondering ... I'm nominally a Republican with lukewarm feelings toward President Bush. I'm a Vietnam veteran, so I hate Kerry with what I think is good cause. Obviously not all will agree with me. :)
