Shock and Awe

Category None
If the results of yesterdays election go the way that the Bushies predicted at 5.00am this morning, I am concerned at how the rest of the world will view the USA and it's citizens. Already at an all time low, this choice won't help it, last time the rest of the world gave some leeway as the majority of Americans didn't vote for Bush, this time there's no excuse. Now where are those Canadian immigration papers...

I respect the people that took the time to vote though, and this is democracy so now I'll shut up about Bush.

1 - We survived Nixon. We survived Regan. We will survive four more years of Bush.

2 - I cannot believe that they have voted in a man who started a war based on lies and their country is still scared of osma...they seem to have missed the point...plus the country is in massive debt!
This will isolate them more...and god help us what he will do next....

3 - We need to stop worrying about what the world thinks of us, and start worrying more about what we think of ourselves, Carl. I keep harping on this, but why would the world have a very high opinion of us when we export Michael Moore's film as an example of what we are, and how we work?

What about Madeline Albright's comment last year in France that Osama Bin Laden would magically captured appear before the election? Can we now admit this was nothing more than her attempt to sell a book?

Bush was elected by the popular vote and the electoral college, and now with Kerry's concession (sparing us the legal BS) - I would suggest that the biggest people who are go on about this are the media folks who've made a crapload of money off of selling us anger.

It's time to turn off Air America, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, and Michael Moore and start talking to your neighbors. And stop reading so damned many blogs.

4 - Yeah Paul, we need to stop all that foreign aid. The world will miss the USA when it's bankrupt and full of socialists. Did I vote for the Michael Moore party? Nope..
