You are quite smart. None of the good politicians who actually know what they are doing want to run for presidency - they dont want the stress, its not as prestigious a job anymore, after the Clinton reign everyone just didnt give a shit anymore and everyone wanting to run for presidency are a bunch of monkeys. If Hilary wins in 2008, I think Im leaving the country for 4 years.

As far as who should be jailed, easily Bin Laden. You guys might think that was Bush is doing is wrong, but youll see the benefits of it in the long run.

Its a representative democracy, Bush got the states he needed to win. But the election was a complete mockary anyway. The reason why Kerry got so many votes had nothing to do with his politics and mostly because of how much people hated Bush. So the people were basically voting to get Bush out without actually knowing who they were electing and what his politics were. And if you did listen to what Kerry's position was, your eyes would cross, blood would start shooting out of your nose, and youd start hemorrhaging.

the only things i see in the long run are more worldwide disrespect for the american government, having to now deal with a completely destroyed country who are 99% uninterested in democracy, having to deal with the largest national deficit in history, prolonging the inevitable energy crisis, and having more disabled veterans that won't be properly taken care of by their government

what bush has done has given our generation more problems than we will know what to do with

First word that came to mind regarding election: agreed.

Thoughts about Kerry's position: Oh damn.


Thoughts about facial disfiguring: ew

The last election was in '04, and this is '07...don't you mean 1 year...?

He'll be gone regardless (thank fuckin' God), unless they find some way for him to run for a 3rd consecutive term. If that were to happen, all of us might as well just move out of the country.
