Umm.. No offense, really, but I'm getting kind of sick of this whining. "OMG Bush isn't the president" is about as childish and stupid as someone can possibly get without the aid of surgury.

Okay, so I guess I'm not really trying all that hard to not-offend. I'm just getting rather tired of it. I probably shouldn't open my mouth, but I don't find this funny at all.

I admit, I'm not going to pick it apart. I'm sure several people on this board will be more than glad to. I'm just going to comment that I think it's about time that everyone stopped whining about the fact that the Democrats 'won'.

Please, this is starting to sound almost as stupid as the Republicans did under Clinton. This has been hashed over so many times it isn't funny anymore. It's just another sad reminder that the Democrats have nothing better to bring to the table than "OMG LOLZOR don't elect Bush for the first time!"

Edited slightly to change a couple words around. Make it slightly less inflamitory. Or something. Please don't hurt me.

Stupid choice of words... Rather, what I meant was, the Democrats seem to be spending more time bashing Bush than they are convincing me that they will actually do things better... And I'm not saying the Republicans aren't doing the same thing, for the record. That'll teach me to take more time to read through my posts. I shouldn't have to use the edit button twice

Why? If you feel that someone is doing a spectacularly shitty job, then wouldn't you want someone(read: anyone) to replace him posthaste? And since there's only one person who has a decent chance of replacing Bush...

It's always better to vote than to not vote.

But to have no other reason to vote than "because the other option is worse" is also very bad.

I don't vote for Bush because he's Republican or because he's not Kerry. I agree with his stances.

That's good. But the survey I took awhile ago indicates that most votes for Kerry went to him because he wasn't Bush.

The same argument applies to people I talk to on the street. There's no reason to vote for Kerry. Just a bunch of reasons not to vote for Bush.

Sorry, your analogy fails. A more apt analogy is, say, a factory manager. If you hire a manager who completely fucks your factory up, replacing him with the first person with decent qualifications you can find is more reasonable than saying, "let's give him another chance. Maybe he'll be better this time around. Or maybe we'll find someone who can solve all our problems on one fell swoop."

Why can't Kerry be stop, drop & roll? Bush is the one who set you on fire in the first place, so it's hard to expect anything from him other than more fire.

I agree with his stances on almost everything more than I do with Bush, Kerry, or Gore. I think he's also more diplomatic than Bush, more lively and amiable than Gore, and would be a strong voice for American power and cooperation internationally.

Sadly I doubt he'd run in 2008, though. So we'll never get to know.

Sure, that possibility exists. Weighing the pros and cons, though, it's still more reasonable to take your chances with someone new then continue to let your factory go down the shitter.

Or not. General Mills is redoing all of their cereals, including those targeted for kids, to contain less sugar and more whole grains.


Oh, and, LOL, I found his campaign speech:

quote:
When I was a child, the only thing that got me going in the morning was a good healthy dose of sugar and the occult. Nothing tops Count Chocula for delivering a quality breakfast product that is not only part of a balanced breakfast, but also a blast to eat. There are many great cereals out there, but none as good as Count Chocula. Cocoa Puffs has the chocalatey goodness, but lacks those amazing marshmallows; Lucky Charms has the marshmallows, but those oat pieces can't compare to the chocolate puffed cereal that Chocula puts forth. Count Chocula combines the best elements of several General Mills cereals and packs it all together for a sugary treat that is sure to leave the kids bouncing off the walls for hours. Besides the boost in energy that Chocula provides, there's also the issue of the Count himself. No breakfast cereal character has the charisma of Count Chocula. Even though he only has one fang, all other characters hide in fear of the Count's blood sucking ability. The only other character that could ever match up to Chocula is Tony the Tiger. I think if the two ever met in a dark alley, the fight would be close, but even then I don't see Tony being too Grrrrreat with a puncture wound in his neck from the Count's vicious bite. But all violence aside, kids across the nation can rest assured that Count Chocula is a gentle giant of a vampire, who only wishes to bring chocolately cereal with spooky-fun marshmallows to breakfast tables everywhere. And for that, Count Chocula, we salute you! You are truly a classic.

Which of course gives you a valid excuse to go around claiming the IWF is some kind of woman-hating group and implying that Bush is a bad president for supporting them? If you're concerned with gay marriage, talk about gay marriage. Mindless mud slinging and Bush jabbing is juvenile and irritating and not justified by the mere fact that you disagree with Bush on ONE issue.

Do you realize Kerry vocally opposes gay marriage as well?
