God Bless America, now lets get back to the importance of building Cummins powered Dodge trucks. Comeon guys, its over lets let it die and go on being America. I sincerely hope that wounds were not opened that will keep anyone in a rift between the fine people of this board. Four years from now we can all fight it out again, but for now, lets just get on with life, the campaign is over.

"It's a sad day to be an American. It's a sad day when fear and hate in the false guise of strength win over the forces of wisdom and common sense. When other countries talk about this one, they always talk about our never-ending optimism. When I see ballot initiatives pass that enshrine hatred into state constitutions, people elected who are essentially running against the government that they are elected to, I wonder if this is perception is warranted. When those same officials talk about America and the promises of freedom, and then vote to take those very freedoms away - the things that make this country great - I feel ashamed. Ashamed of the hypocrisy and the gall of those involved. I feel at this very moment that we are not a country of hope, but a sea of reactionaries who are easily distracted by rhetoric masquerading as reason. Who see causality as what holds together the two ends of a sentence instead of two logical facts, one that leads to the next. It's difficult to stomach. It's difficult to remain hopeful for our future.
We've elected a majority of people from a party that is a coalition of libertarians, religious zealots and habitual former dixiecrats. A party that talks about the importance of personal responsibility and accountability, yet led by a man who takes responsibility for nothing and holds no one responsible in his administration for any of the terrible mistakes that have been made. In the economy, in the prosecution of the war. In anything, it would seem. A false invincibility. And a deep-seeded arrogance, wrapped in a shroud of faith. Once again, difficult to stomach.
I guess we're in for a wild ride on the rails of the religious right. We do live in interesting times."

The sad thing about this entire election year is that many voted to get Bush out, rather than making an informed decision on the merits of each candidate. As there is no constitutional right for the general populace to vote, I have to look in awe at the foresight of our founding forefathers. I think they perceived that the general population (as a whole) wouldn't have the expertise or knowledge to elect our president.
