My Broken Heart

Alright. So, it’s 12:30 election day night and I’m not quite sure where things went wrong. It looks like George Bush is going to remain the president of the US for the next four years. I’m fairly disappointed in our country as a whole. I just don’t feel like I’m a part of the process. I don’t feel like I fit in here very well. This election almost makes me feel like we would’ve been better off if the south had seceded during the civil war. Okay – quite honestly, it doesn’t make any sense. I can’t think of one thing that George Bush has done well except apparently marketing. That’s what this whole thing is about anyway I guess. After seeing the result of this election, I really don’t think that our country is capable of making an informed decision as a whole. It makes me think twice about the value of democracy. I mean, democracy in theory is all well and good, but with an electorate that is so misinformed and so willing to be misled, it all just kind of falls apart. George Bush may be the president of the United States, but he’s not my president. I predict that inside of the next four years, we’ll have realized that re-electing Bush was a serious mistake. He is just not a two term president. If we hadn’t been lead into a failing war for false reasons, if we hadn’t lost an impressive number of jobs, if we hadn’t catered to big business at every opportunity, if we hadn’t rolled back many environmental protections, if we hadn’t pissed-off half of the world, if we weren’t in the health-care limbo that we’re in, and if his stance on all of the social issues wasn’t entirely backwards, I might not be complaining so much. I’m not a happy voter and I’m not a happy citizen. But hey, look on the bright side, with Bush in the white house we should be able to continue down the golden road that we’ve been on the last four years. So, expect less taxes on the rich, expect a less healthy environment, expect crappier schools, expect it to be harder to find a job, expect to give up more of your civil liberties, expect fewer americans to have health insurance, expect to continue to send young men and women to die for no legitimate reason, and expect that rich prick to smile at you the whole time. But, that’s how we like it here in America, we won’t have it any other way. Hey, maybe we’ll luck out and Cheney will run for president in 2008. That would be great.

  1. There is still one way to get him out of the white house… Pretzles
    The thing that gets me is that exit pollsters recorded people in the Bush states as saying that they feel safer with Bush as president, Granted NOT ONE OF THESE STATES HAS EVER HAD A TERRORIST ATTACK. If you noticed, most of the west coast & new england states voted Kerry. God tried to teach Florida a lesson… 4 times, but they will never learn. What’s with the big red area in the center? Did 51% of america spontaneously become dumb-fucks on election day? Watch Farenheight 911 again, even if it is a piece of liberal media propaganda.
    You know, Nixon won a second term, but remember what happened to Nixon ^_^
