2. How exciting
What a fun four years we're going to have. I'd go have a drink if I didn't feel as nauseous as I do.

4. Bush is forgetting that his "political capital"
was done spent. So freakin' stupid that he doesn't know how his approval rating is shit. Let him make all the threats he wants. He is getting desperate.

11. rove and the network got him elected
true - and the threat may be that he will get his minions to f_ck with every election - but if we get an Alan Keyes beating Barack Obama, people will have to see the fraud.

5. Well, *'s a lame duck. He won't get what he wants
Edited on Sat Jan-01-05 11:49 PM by Willy Wonka
once America realizes what a TRUE fuckup and a thief he is, then they're going to massively throw the Chimp out on his ass before his term is over and kick him out of the shores of the United States, persona non grata, and no country except Iraq wants him.

And one more thing - if the Chimp thinks that he's threatening defeat, he's that STUPID - he seems to forget that Senate has approved 98% of his stupid idiotic numbnuts already.

10. Is it bad that I don't even care anymore?
Edited on Sun Jan-02-05 12:02 AM by deadparrot
Let the pompous ass run the damn country into the ground. If Americans are too stupid to not see him for what he is, then we deserve what we get. We can talk all we want, but people don't give a shit until their lives are affected. Us kids will be drafted, jobs will be lost, and civil liberties lost. That's the only way many Americans will get the picture.

Hopefully, I'll be able to study abroad for a year, or a semester at least, in college. I'm looking into careers that will require me to live and work abroad. America may be the biggest, baddest country on earth, but it's not what it used to be, *especially* in recent years. If this is truly the will of the American people, then I don't want to live in America anymore.

12. Yeah, this is a good way to keep the moderates in the Senate on your side
Senators Collins, Snowe, and Chaffe are welcome to come aboard at any time. McCain, Hagel and Spector love hearing this kind of stuff.

17. I agree with Harry Reid's spokesman who said that Dobson was a front
for the White House....

http://www.nytimes.com/2005/01/01/politics/01dobson.html

James Manley, a spokesman for Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the new Democratic leader, said Democrats had allowed 204 judicial appointments to move forward in Mr. Bush's first term.

"James Dobson needs to take a moment to focus on the facts," Mr. Manley said. He called Dr. Dobson a "front for the White House."
