So, that happened

I was going to post this this morning, and in the meantime, Kerry conceded, giving Bush the win. Very disappointed, and am not looking forward to what this administration can do with 4 more years...
Anyway, the old post:

They are still harping over the results in Ohio, but come on! It's done.
I'll be quite interested to see what this administration can offer us over the next four years. They'll have a hard time topping what they've already done: let's see, wars, destruction, huge deficits, a widening gap between rich and poor so that we'll eventually end up like Mexico, colored terrorist threat warnings, and a level of anti-americanism never before seen (which BTW, is almost solely attributable to the administration, especially Bush, but also the neocon, never-been-to-war, ivy-league-classroom war makers Cheney, Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz.
I made a prediction that there'd be some kind of war after he was first elected. This time, my prediction is that he'll be impeached somehow, as one of his lies may come back to haunt him. Sounds farfetched, and it would have to be a pretty big lie, as the republicans control everything. I don't get it...Clinton gets impeached for not telling the truth about getting oral sex in the oval office, but Bush doesn't get anything for not telling the truth to the American people about going to war, which eventually kills 1100 soldiers.
I guess I had more faith in the people to see past the facade that the administration has contructed. We had a chance to show the world that we could see past the short term and could think critically, but I think the rest of the world is left scratching its head wondering how we could have thought four more years of this guy was a good idea.
Defeating Bush should have been so easy. It's incomprehensible how this dude has another shot at four years.
Well, we'll get what we vote for.
