ITA. I think the ugly and bitter campaigning, the bitterness that will remain for some who wanted Kerry, and the hatred toward our Pres by some will make it virtually impossible to bring the country together. We as a people will have to want it and I don't think it's going to happen.

I pulled the poll off of Netscape as it was run. I don't think I can add an option to it now... sorry.

bush wont be able to heal this nation because ther are people who refuse and dont want to be healed.. they wear their anger like a badge on their sleeve...

lets look at the anger around here.. kerry conceeded.. and quite honorably too.. but yet the anger still goes on...

heck by next week kerry will be having lunch with all his republican friends like nothing happened.. you see politicians forget faster than we do....

I really think now that he has nothing left to lose things are only going to get worse and when I hear those who voted for him complaining you can find me ROTFL. I have a feeling I am going to be laughing a lot, but if you voted for him you deserve exactly what you get. Its sad but true, for the ones who did not vote for him you will have my complete and total sympathy.

del sol and ngjean...

i am seriously thinking of running for local rep..

i wonder if i would win.. lol...

as for

Heck yes I'm angry. I'm angry that a bunch of moral know it alls will decide whether or not I can do something with my body. They're raising tuition to where eventually no middle class family will be able to afford it. I'm sorry but I guess I'll get knocked up and live on welfare and government housing like so many instead of getting a job at wal-mart of mcdonalds. Whats the point in going to college now days? When there are no jobs for us to go to when we get out? Pay thousands of dollars to end up working minimum wage anyway. But maybe by the time we're at retirement age we'll make middle management.

wow might nasty words there... this is the reason why bush or any other pres cant heal this nation. as for tuition raising.. an education is not a right it is a privilage. work hard and you can have it. i did... no tuition bills hanging over my head...i will not be made to feel sorry for you. when there are others out there who work harder and dont get what they deserve. BTW government housing raises taxes.. and the dems support housing...personally i am tired of paying for people who dont work. i personally did not like the clinton years.. but not once during that time and with all that he did did i say anthing negative about my commander in chief!
as for the jobs.. what course of study are you taking? perhaps it is in a field with limited jobs...

i look back... i was once like you...all spitfire and liberal... but as i aged.. became wiser.... my views changed... i realised life was about more than just me me me...or gimme gimme gimme....
it is time to put aside the anger.. give the next 4 years a chance.. the people voted.. kerry and his supporters are the minority. the pendulum has swung the other way.. now you know how we felt BUT NEVER SAID IT during the 8 years we were held hostage under the clinton administration!
