The entire city of Santa Cruz was in a visible funk today. Fuck Ohio. What the shit is a buckeye anyway. No, fuck an electoral system that can hinge on the decision of one state like that. I hope that someday the argument about the electoral college becomes less partisan, so that we can actually get something done.

Dejected. Ashamed. Embarrassed. Angry.
Dejected and angry yes! Don't be ashamed or embarrased. Not for wanting the best for your family and your country.
I hope we don't invade anyone else in the near future. And if we do, hopefully it will be the right country this time.
No! War isn't working for them. They are going to attack us next. Try to pound as much of their ideology down our throats over the next 50 months as possible. The question is how will they do this.
One start may be a new line of "Season of Hope" toilet paper --- with a copy of the Bill of Rights on each sheet.
Or maybe a race to see which industry can destroy the environment the fastest. We will have to wait and see who the biggest campaign contributors were before we can predict that one. My guess is that the coal industry will make good use of their headstart and keep going.
Who knows what will happen next. But I agree with the previous poster --- Bush will never hold another elected office again. He has no voters to appease, nor do we have any way to hold him accountable.
I can live will all of that though. I can even live with the shame of having a retarded cowboy represent my country. What I can't live with, or don't want to live with are the new Supreme Court Justices that Bush will be able to appoint. Who, like Bush and his lower court appointees, interpret the 1st amendment a little different. People who don't see freedom of religion for all ---but for the majority. Who say over and over that this is a Christian nation. That may be true. But the religious rights of some(even a few) cannot be thrown aside because of a majority.
We saw that the most important issue to voters this election was "moral issues." These same people are willing to give up some of their own civil liberties for this cause. I am not! I have no interest in living in a theocratic dictatorship -- which is where we are headed.
I will be honest. I do not know one gay person. I have had gay friends in the past -- not really friends --- but strippers who I hung out with every payday...But that isn't the point.
I don't understand how an election can be decided on gay marriage and abortion, while we have 140,000 soldiers in Iraq and bin Laden in our living rooms a few days before the election.
What am I missing? Someone please tell me! How is Rosie 0'Donnel getting married a greater threat to our country than bin Laden? Why fight so hard to protect a embryonic cell(that has the potential to become life if implanted) and not work to protect our 140,000 brothers, sisters, moms,dads,sons, and daughters stuck in Iraq dying over a redneck's revenge mission.
Explain to me, Andrew and the other 48% of Americans why you voted agaisnt us. And by us, I mean the American people. What are we missing? What are we not getting.
What did your hearts tell you that our brains didn't tell us?
That's all I have to say about that.
No! I am not bitter. Just curious.

Actually, Sam, it makes sense for the argument about the electoral college to be partisan... Republicans seem to be for a Republic... Democratics for more "pure" Democracy... which would have elected Bush as well.

It's time for American voters to have a global perspective. In this election, citizens of countries all over the world relied on us to make the right decision. We let them down.
According to CNN poll numbers, 80% of Germany was against Bush. 74% of Norway was against Bush. Only 16% of Canada supported a Bush re-election. In Germany, France, Norway, Italy and the Netherlands, the portion polled supporting Bush was less than 14%. In Britain, the US's biggest ally in wartime, 16% supported Bush. In the 12 countries that make up the "coalition of the willing", only the Philippines had a majority vote in favor of Bush. 11 of our supposed allies did not. More than half the people in 7 of these 12 countries that went to war with the US on Iraq said that foreign policy was worse under Bush. Of all the European nations, Poland was only one supporting the President, but with only a 31% approval rating. However, 41 percent of those polled in Poland said that the foreign policy led by Bush had made them feel worse about the United States. All 11 Latin American countries polled voted against Bush. 83 percent of German respondents said their opinion of America had changed for the worse. France, Mexico, China, the Netherlands, Italy and Brazil all show similar percentages.
The rest of the world couldn't understand why the race was so close, and now they are left wondering what Americans could have been thinking. In the words of Wagner Markues of Sao Paulo, Brazil, "We don't understand America now. Are they getting different news than us about the scandals in the Iraqi prisons, and the children and civilians who are getting killed?"
