As an American citizen and a liberal Democrat I feel as though I have been kicked in my political gut and left breathless as a result of Tuesday's election.
How President Bush could possibly campaign on making the tax cuts permanent and repealing the so called "death" tax to the detriment of the Social Security (which he promised not to touch) and Medicare trust funds and to the benefit to tax payers earning over $350,000 (the "truly" rich and greedy) while the deficits will stretch from here to the moon and beyond and will add billions and billions of dollars in interest payments to the budget for many, many decades to come (a ticking fiscal thermonuclear reaction waiting to happen), appointing reactionary conservative judges to the federal bench, with the rubber stamp approval of the Republican Senate, which appointments will be making critical decisions thirty years from now, a prescription drug plan formulated by the pharisaical industry, no rational plan for relief from skyrocketing health care cost and, to "add" insult to injury, presiding as President over current "cuts" to Medicare, advocating nothing that I know of regarding a patients bill of rights, and given the abysmal performance of the economy and financial markets, etc. and pick up seats in the House and Senate is far, far beyond my political comprehension! How the American people from Colorado to Minnesota to Missouri to Georgia (and I am very much afraid that Sen. Landrieu might lose to Election Commissioner Terrell (a real political airhead if I have ever seen one) in a Dec. 7 runoff in Louisiana) could make and endorsement of President Bush's politics is nothing "short" of political mind "boggling" insanity!!!
Furthermore, now that the Republicans have the power and the authority to carry out and go forth with their agenda; that is, if the Democrats don't "liberally" evoke their ability to filibuster in the Senate, maybe the country will receive a "major" wake up call when, for example, Justice Sandra Day O'Connor retires, which I predict she will do when this current session of the U. S. Supreme Court ends in July, and President Bush appoints another Scalia or Thomas to the court in order to repay his political debt to the religious right, just as he said he would like to do during the 2000 campaign, which means the Roe V. Wade decision is toast and when overturned women will be forced to seek out back alley abortions and add to the 80,000 women who already die annually as a result of living in nations where abortions are banned!!!! In addition, as a result of Tuesday's election President Bush's disastrous environmental decisions and energy policies will become more and more a part of our every day lives!!! And can catsup as a vegetable, winnable nuclear war, recallable nuclear missiles, Elliot Abrams lying to Congress, trees that cause pollution, red baiting the anti-missile program detractors, tax credits and/or exemptions for segregated schools, homeless by choice, falling wages, even higher and then even still higher unemployment rates, Dow-Jones down 22.3% in one day, another HUD scandal, U. S. Information Agency blacklisting of liberal speakers, attacks on OSHA and workplace safety, invading a Caribbean island, assassination manuals, White House astrologer, mining harbors in Venezuela, another S. & L. scandal, another Beirut barracks tragedy, Al Haig in control, silence on AIDS, food stamp reductions, White House shredding of documents, more and more and more tax cuts for the wealthy, no increase in minimum wage, mistakes were made, White House chief of staff convicted for influence pedaling and uses alcoholism as a defense, you don't have to many suspects innocent of a crime, not all people standing in soup lines are really hungry, women don't understand throw-weights, education cuts, the bombing begins in five minutes, $640 Pentagon toilet seats, African-American judicial appointments 1.9%, C. I. A. sponsoring car bombings killing innocent civilians, 139 administration officials either being investigated, indicted, or convicted, selling arms for profit to a terrorist nation, 3x5 cards, flowers being placed on Nazi graves, White House naps, raping valuable national resources as payback for political contributions, presidential pardons for indicted administration officials before turning state's evidence, using spies to spy on American citizens, selling biological and chemical agents to merciless dictators, etc. be far behind!!!!!
What a nightmarish scenario!!!
And I will never understand what or how the American people were thinking on Election Day 2002!!!!!!
May "god" save America, "please."
It's pronounced "hassenpfepper!"
He did forget to blame Ronald Reagan though.
There are only 27 words in your sentence!!! I guess you aren't half the writer that Dave is.
Obviously. Let me try to simplify it for you. The majority of voters don't agree with your stupid ideas nor the way you mischaracterize the opposition’s ideas.
That is why the perverts, socialists, and outright communists who have highjacked the Democratic party had their hats handed to them on election night. Click my name and you will see that I used to be one of you. But I finally saw the light and realized that the people who run the party that I was an active member of for over 30 years DO NOT represent what the Democratic party was supposed to be all about. Old time Democrats LOVE America just as much as any Republican. We (old time Democrats) may differ from Republicans in our views about SOME business, labor, and socialogical issues BUT we do not differ so much that we can't come to consensus.
The people who run the Democratic party now are only in for what THEY can get out of it. The just want power ... at ANY cost. They could NOT care less about the poor or the disadvantaged. The Democratic party have become the party of evil and hate because of these self seving hate-America AND hate Americans people.
You need to pull you head OUT of the bucket of lies that they have been telling you and take a few steps back and take a VERY hard look at what is going on.
Hopefully you can ... like I did ... finally see the light.
ALL YOUR "EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!!!!!!!!!" ARE BELONG TO US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why is it that everytime these idiots feel they're losing their grip on the world that they begin to invoke God's name?
After all, haven't they been the ones spenting so much time trying to rip his name out of everything that is decent in this country only to turn many of our cities and schools into places that are more willing to worship the devil or Islam instead of Christanity.
I take comfort everyday that when judgement day comes for each of these individuals they will get exactly what they deserve.
I would prefer that God exact my portion of any revenge against them by helping them see the light and the errors of their ways.
I find that prospect far more productive than just punishing them cause it "feels" ggod
Dear Abby:Should I be feeling guilty for this sudden attack of "Schadenfreude" that came over me when I read this screed?
I know it is almost impossible to read - given the illiterate punctuation - and nearly impossible to comprehend because of the unbelievably phony subject matter, and the infantile whining was actually distracting, but... somehow I felt a warm fuzzy when I realized what a Loser wrote this and that his side who believe this trash LOST!
So, please, tell me Abby. Should I continue enjoying this on-going meltdown alone or should I call my wife over to the monitor so she can enjoy it too? I'm spending way too much time enjoying this and feel terrible about it. I don't want her to feel terrible, too....
I desperately need your advice! Help!!
Sincerely,
Gritty

Now you know I felt from 1992 through 2000.
