Who else feels sorry for the USA?

I do.

To be so scared for your lives to not accept a change. Must be so sad to live like that.

sorry for americans, and hoping world won't suffer too much with this

Posted by razmataz on Nov-03-2004 13:01:

I do. Must be horrible to live in fear. Even worse, to be stupid enough to re-elect the president who brought in the fear in the first place.

Anyways, the bright side of this is that there will be no shortage of comedy material from the White House for the next four years.

The only "fear" this country showed was of Kerry. When a president with less than a 50% approval rating wins the popular vote by 3 million plus, you know somethings wrong with his opponent. As commentators have been saying, this continues the downward spiral of the democratic party as it loses touch with demographics it once found inseperable. The "War on Terror" and the Iraq fiasco did not win the election for Bush and the republicans, a weak democratic party and a weak candidate lost this election for the democrats.

I only feel sorry for the approximately 30% who took the effort to go and vote for someone not Bush. As for the rest: I don't care for stupid people.

I just find it funny how quickly the first nation to be founded on democratic ideals is losing them.

I'm glad my girlfriend wants to move out of here when she graduates.

I kinda peeked into PD to express the same feeling towards America.

Bush could have been defeated if he had an able opponent. Looks like America is in for 4 more years of fear...

Im happy for you. I think looking back 4-5 years ago, pre bush. vacationing in the states was something i wanted to do, been to new york state a few times before and florida. But now, im staying as far away as i can. I hitting the central america this winter, not the states.

i feel sorry and angry in the same time...

anyways, still good to see that everyone in the world (except american people) realise it is a sad day. Makes me hope that this won't last too long... with nowadays technologies, opened borders etc. how could people be so close-minded?

Posted by France on Nov-03-2004 15:40:

i feel sorry for over 50 million people who voted for kerry and didnt win.

and don't forget: 100% security or safety is NOT reachable!!!!!!!

This is insane. Bush spent so much money attacking Kerry and the South still wont vote for a Democrat since civil rights were passed. The environment never once came into the election process and so many things were just glanced over in 2 minute segments in the debates. This electoral system is completely wrong and the problem is the only people who can change it are those who arein office, that benefit from it. "Campaign finance reform" supposedly passed, but more money was spent this year by far than ever before and Tom Delay violated the law to manipulate Texas and redistrict 8 years too early to gain at least 5 seats. If 9/11, which for some reason people think makes him great, never happened, why would all these people be supporting Bush? Arggggggggggggh!

There should be a sticky in COR where all people can let out their laments and harsh comments about the outcome of this election. This thread is juts another one of those. This is COR material, no content but discontent.

Posted by A.J. on Nov-03-2004 16:38:

I feel sorry for world peace.

I feel sorry for homosexuals and women who decide they want an abortion.

I feel sorry for innocent troops that will die overseas

I feel sorry for innocent civilians that will die as a result of conflict/war

I feel sorry for a country that has been destroyed, and is now arguably just as unsafe as it was under a brutal, evil dictator

I feel sorry for all Americans who will lose more civil liberties (to go with freedoms that have already been impinged on)

I feel sorry for all Americans who travel overseas - only then will you truly understand the damage George Bush has done to America's image.

I feel sorry for those poor people who have to live in a culture of fear heightened by their own elected government.

*Shock, Awe*

You aren't the least bit surprised that, during an extremely important election, some of the discussion might spill over into both the COR and the political forum? Relax.

all those who voted for kerry are now invited to join canada or any other country , they're more than welcome ...

i hope some american will assassinate bush , snipe him or something

Posted by wolverine16 on Nov-03-2004 16:47:

Another problem too is a lot of intended voters couldn't vote, mainly in urban, highly democratic areas. Shouldn't there be more polling places or longer voting hours if people are standing in line for hour after hour. How many people went right after work at 5 and didn't make it to the front of the line by 7?

Posted by Linx_da_cat on Nov-03-2004 16:49:

Land of the Free indeed. It's laughable. Generally, the US has lost sight of it's standards and foundations that made it what it is today. What happened to learning from the past's mistakes? Then again, history is doomed to repeat itself right?

Good luck to the states
