Bye Bye Roe vs Wade, welcome Patriot Act II, SS privatization, flat tax

[private_ryan]

and frankly we deserve it. At least Rehnquist, O'Connor and Stevens will retire.
Looks like Bush will win the electoral vote and already won the popular vote by 3.5 million. If Kerry had done that, we'd be calling it a mandate. Maybe Bush needs to fcuk the country even more before people actually get it.

1. Bye bye ChavezSpeakstheTruth

Any country that votes this way is not a country I want to live in

[Atlas Mugged]

11. I'm outta here, too

Fortunately, I already have an apartment in Berlin, Germany. Now I just need a small place in Ontario to keep tabs on relatives and such here. MY SO is leaving for Germany this Monday to start bank accounts over there. I've already got accounts in Canada.

Trust me, the irony of moving to GERMANY to escape fascism does not escape me.

[TwentyFive]

16. No - you can't leave - we need you to stay and fight

This isn't as bad as it looks. There are still many good people left in this country.

[ciaobox]

29. Fight for what?

ANOTHER concession to ANOTHER stolen election?

[byronm]

2. dunno how the flat tax will float

how will states survive? can't take a 7% tax on top of a 23% sales tax and still make a living..

[DBoon]

21. Indentured servitude?

The government owns you until you pay off your taxes?

[rot0r_head]

3. I'm a bit curious

Sure, Bush can be evil. But just how evil can we get before shit starts really getting out of hand? I was hoping not to find out.

[HEIL PRESIDENT GOD]

17. There is a line that can be crossed...

A line beyond which the peoples of Europe, Russia, and East Asia will not condone the continuing menace of America.

Only one president in the nuclear age has proven himself to be either too stupid or too evil or too insane to refrain from crossing that line. If we do not call bullshit on this election and take him out of office, he will cross that line in the next four years.

4. its a sad day today...

people will reep what they sew...we are already hurting as a middle class family..but this country is going down...and bush in the captain...

[private_ryan]

7. people are stupid

but that's what they and that's what they will get. The Dems cannot filibuster anything. To Bush's credit he said he will do all these things and they still voted him in.

[JuniorPlankton]

5. Yeah

No pity!

Unemployed?
Uninsured?
Living below poverty line?
Sent to Iraq(n)?

You asked for it!

:nopity:

[SmokingJacket]

6. Don't believe the hype.

3.5 million more votes for that turd in a sling? My flaming ass.

[private_ryan]

8. hype?

maybe so but I have no way to count each one so we have to rely on the official results.

[tinanator]

12. 8 million more GW voters than last time

and why not? He has proven himself over and over. Look at it this way, no more Terror Alerts, Osama threats, Anthrax investigations, abortions, etc. Its a brave new world, just wait until Cheney's energy goons get going, and the banks! Oh, the Banks are gonna have a GREAT TIME!

[Atlas Mugged]

9. You left out:

Defense of Marriage admendment
Defense of Flag admendment
Overturn of sodomy ruling, paving the way for the "moral issue" of homosexuals

[Shopaholic]

10. They've got the White House

They've got the Senate, they've got the House, they've got the Supreme Court--so who will they blame things on now??????

[tinanator]

13. you forgot the media

They wont have to blame anything on anyone, we are looking at a new era altogether. The truly Dark Times.

[chaumont58]

18. The Clenis(tm), of course, who else?

To the folks leaving, I wish I could go with you. I'm too old and don't have enough money. The country is not raygun's shining city on a hill, anymore. Maybe it never was, unless you are a white male.

[CPT Dem]

14. Step away from the coolaid.

[private_ryan]

15. will do so

and you stop being delusional. We got our asses kicked!

[demjomr313]

19. One nation, Under Bush

who f'ed us then and will f us now...

[Politicub]

20. I made a similar entry in my blog

All of the things that we can say goodbye to. America made its bed, now it has to lie in it.

If we don't have a miracle in Ohio, we can say goodbye to 80 years of progress we've made as a country. The bad times will be back in full swing. It's shameful that the GOP was allowed to use its vote supression tactics that were perfected during the 50s and 60s.

Progressives are being held hostage by the fundamentalists. Oh joy -- our own American taliban.

[noonwitch]

22. I'm hoping O'Connor and Stephens can last another 4 years on the court

O'Connor has become pretty moderate over the years. If Rhenquist is gone, and Bush gets to select the next CJ, I would hope that if he truly is a "uniter, not a divider", then he would pick her for that spot, guaranteeing a historical first by choosing a woman for the spot, and by not picking someone that mods and libs find deplorable, like Thomas or Scalia.

[placton]

25. Get real, my friend.

[TheCentepedeShoes]

23. How long before we have to

start each day by saying the "bush pledge" to our teevees ?

[chaumont58]

24. What are the odds that the First Amendment will be repealed?

The first four years of the chimpie nightmare was the foundation for Fundie Nation. The next four will place it cement in place.
From the ashes of the old USA, the Christian Republic(sic) of North America arises. Hail, chimp!

[placton]

26. 50/50

[WindRavenX]

27. I enjoyed having controls over my ovaries while it lasted

Wheeee.

[mr_binklesworth]

28. Didn't you watch the debate?

He said "I'm not gonna try to overturn Roe v. Wade" - though he mumbled it as if to think: "maybe only the pro-righters heard that".

Either he's lying on that issue to get elected (funny he accused Kerry of that), or his base is voting on the principle that he, though disagrees w/ abortion, won't overturn it (which is also Kerry's view).

Strange how that all worked out, huh?
