Towards the end of the discussion he admitted that at one point a friend and he decided that an abortion was best for them, and that he'd fight to make that decision again.
He's also very angry about religion, you can hear it in his voice as he talks about evangelicals. He wears his athesism as a badge of honor.
Have you seen the cartoon making the rounds in email? It is a graphic of North America divided into our "Red" states vs. everybody else. They are called, United States of Canada, we are Jesusland.
A "Dasher" is one who "dashes" - and I was doing a fair bit of that after I got stuck into the grog when Florida came through. I was crook for two days!
Why have these clowns taken to killing babies to show how much they hate God?
Please post it, if you can.
You are right. Something like 20% of the Democrat vote went to Bush.
Why on earth they picked Kerry when to know him was not to love him I will never know.
LOL!
Not to worry. He'll probably aim it backwards.
Of course, the writer wouldn't raise a peep about the innocent Serbs accidently killed by our missles, why....that was a war of liberation by a DEMOCRAT PRESIDENT!!!
It’s hard to find a Democrat who’s not devastated by election results
Was it all a dream? I know it really happened. I know I was actually standing on that pier in Boston Harbor four months ago, shoulder-to-shoulder with an ecstatic crowd, watching as John Kerry’s boat approached us.
We were listening to Bruce Springsteen’s song "Waitin’ on a Sunny Day," and Kerry and his mates grew ever larger.
Gathered alongside him on the vessel, waving to us, were 13 of his former crew from their service days in Vietnam.
They docked and Springsteen’s "No Surrender" began to blare, on its way to becoming the theme song of the Kerry campaign.
When Kerry, arriving to be nominated for president at the Democratic Convention, walked past the crowd, I shook his hand and wondered if he was going to make it.
"We are going to win back our democracy and our future," he told us.
All things seemed possible then.
Now the music has faded, the hopeful voices fallen silent. Mourning in this part of America.
You can feel the despair in my neighborhood, East Rock in New Haven. You can see it on people’s faces.
"I started to cry today in my shop when I was talking with a customer about this," said Lulu de Carrone, owner of Lulu’s European Coffeehouse on Cottage Street.
She told me she had never done this before, but she couldn’t help herself. She felt sick to her stomach.
"I’m mourning for democracy," she said.
Everybody who walked into Lulu’s Thursday morning seemed to feel it.
"I’m so angry," said a gray-haired woman. "If I were in my 20s, I’d move to Canada."
"I spoke yesterday with a friend of mine from Canada," de Carrone said. "He told me people there think Americans have gone nuts."
"I worked hard for our rights when I was in a younger generation," another customer said. "I don’t want to see them all eroded."
The people in Lulu’s and elsewhere are asking: Who will be appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court over the next four years? Will the Roe vs. Wade decision be overturned? Will abortion become illegal in this country?
While I was talking with two of my neighbors outside our homes Thursday morning, one of them told me, "This is the first time I’ve woken up in the middle of the night, dismayed to think who our president is."
"So many things I care about are endangered," said my other neighbor, who is an educator.
He went down the list: school funding, the environment, separation of church and state, international relations.
We stood and wondered how "gay marriage" had decided this election.
When I was at the Democratic Party’s "celebration party" on election night, a gay man I know said he was deeply concerned that state amendments banning same-sex marriage were passing by overwhelming margins in 11 states (including Ohio).
"Moral values." That’s what voters in a nationwide exit polls survey cited most frequently as the key issue.
Some of these voters praised President Bush’s "integrity."
I’m trying to find the "moral values" in killing tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians and sending our soldiers over there to die and not telling the truth about it.
But I guess "gay marriage" is more important.
After I voted with my family Tuesday morning, we saw Bob Voght of New Haven at the Pantry Restaurant on State Street where many people had flocked for breakfast. There was hope in the air.
I spotted Voght’s "Kerry" button and he told me he had just returned from New Hampshire. He had been there for a week, working to convince people in that "battleground" state to vote for Kerry. (He did win New Hampshire.)
When I called up Voght Wednesday, he said quietly, "I’m down, but I’ll survive."
Voght, who served in Vietnam, said, "I took personal umbrage from those ‘Swift Boat veterans’ trying to distort Kerry’s record. They did a tremendous amount of (political) damage."
Bush’s "integrity" wasn’t strong enough for him to speak out against those ads and those lies. Kerry and those other heroes who got off that boat in Boston fell victim to the big lie. Unbelievably, it worked.
Addressing the "moral values" question, Voght said of Bush, "I think his morality is highly over-rated."
What a bunch of losers
Thanks so much for posting all of it.
I like that!

That sounds better than listening to NPR, I love to hear liberals whine!
A better word for it is "delusion", Randall, and yes, it was. Reality is always painful when it comes crashing down on those in denial.
Had Kerry been elected, this scene would've been replayed a thousand times over: in Iraq.
Don't put your barf bags away just yet, please. In a column that appeared on the (extreme liberal) Honolulu Advertiser editorial page, 11/3/04, the morning after the election, the author was addressing the onerous commotion we all suffered through during the presidential campaign.
And then......he wrote the last paragraph on a totally different matter:
"In this 40th anniversary year of landmark civil rights legislation that finally gave full voting rights to blacks, Republicans in several states made a formal strategy of harassing black voters who favor Democrats - stationing official-looking goons at polling places in black precincts to intimidate voters, and in some cases, challenging their right to cast ballots. Shame on them."
*Prepare to barf......baaarff!*
Could you call this an abuse of journalistic license? The column had to have been written prior to election day, so he's not sour-graping over Bush's win. So why would he just stick something in his column like this? (Well, he is a liberal extremist, but this paragraph has to be a figment of a delusional, fevered mind.)
It sounds like the heated screaming in 2000, when the NAACP reported wholesale harassment, intimidation, and disenfranchisement of black voters in Florida, and, within 6 months, the US Civil Rights Commission had investigated every single complaint and found ALL of them bogus.
There hasn't been one letter-to-the-editor yet. (2 days) There will be some, I expect, unless the paper decides to quash the issue altogether, which it does now and then.
Aren't we Republicans tired of being intentionally and falsely labeled as racists? The author knows the paragraph is untrue. He would have been outraged upon learning that something like that had occurred. He would have called for a federal investigation. Nope. He says, "Shame on them."
His paragraph accuses Republicans of a felonious conspiracy! Shame on them? Just a dead giveway...it's all race-baiting BS, and the author is slime for writing it.
Well, I don't believe I've left much room for comment. I just wanted to show you this as proof of the depth of the hatred out there, just in case. ;-)
I heard years ago that Harvard Medical School has an open offer of millions for a pregnant male. It could, of course, be an urban myth, but he might check into it. Money cures a lot!
