well done america.

not only you elected a damn liar who sent your sons and daughers to war over nothing. you managed to give him a clear lead with 3.5 million votes _and_ a majority in both houses which allows him to act out every law he proposes.

now look forward to more fear my friends and you young girls be advised that bush is known to keep his promises, so you might get the enjoyment of aborting your own baby with a coat hanger.

48% of america and the whole other world slaps their forehead while in saudi arabia, a few company meetings and a cave in afghanistan a bottle of champagne is being opened. :whistling

Not really. I hated both choices. Either way the country is going to be through some hell in the next four years.

I'm more bitter about the town I live in throwing away the chance to get the state to build new schools and fix the system. Instead, the dipshits that live around me not only destroyed the levy that would raise taxes less than a dime a day but also repealed an old levy which now tosses our already broke school system into bankrupcy which means the state will be taking over next year. Goodbye arts, music, and sports!

First of all, the U.S. is not a democracy, it's a REPUBLIC.

Second, well...you're right, we don't have a free press, they're controlled by the leftists...

Third, umm...give me an example of the free speech one...oh wait, you don't have one, you just made it up...

Fourth, uh...what do you constitute as a "real election"? Oh, let me guess...when a lying idiot like Kerry wins...right? A man that says he's against outsourcing, yet most of his income comes from his wife's company, Heinz - a company with 90% of it's factories outside the U.S. A man that says he's against tax cuts for the rich, yet only pays 12% taxes, while everyone else in is tax bracket pays 30%+. A man that says that Bush's tax cuts do nothing for the economy, but make the rich richer, when he knows that allowing business owners to keep more of their money is good for both the economy, and the middle-class. A man that says we need a "fresh start" in Iraq, yet only suggests what the current administration has already been doing for months. A man that says Arafat is a role model that we should look up to. A man that says a 5.1% unemployment rate is "inexcusable" when his own party used a 5.4% unemployment rate as a sign of a strong economy in 1996. A man that can somehow vote for something before he votes against it. A man with zero integrity, that will change his position whenever he believes it will benefit him politically...

Yeah, I can honestly say I'm happy we won't have that man as a president...

I'm sorry but does anyone really think that the President of America is elected based upon their policies?

It's whether they've got any charisma or not. Bush has some. Kerry has got nothing but his hair.

Anyway, I predict Hilary Clinton to stand next time round.

Ok enough being negative nancies. The election is over and now it is time to move on. Although unsuccessful, the democrats put up a good fight, and they deserve a bit of credit for being worthy adversaries. The time for division is over. We know who the real enemies here are, and its time for Republicans and Democrats alike to stop the petty bickering.

And I am starting to miss my old days of constantly stirring shit up and pissing people off for no good reason, which stopped when I started undergoing a more persuasive mindset. From here on out I vow to piss people off more often, only this time it wont be in a partisan nature, just the classic hippie bashing nature :D

The downside to this is what people don't seem to realize. The nation is divided, more so than ever now. The Republican party now has the majority in the legislative and executive branches, and will soon have it in the judicial branch. The Republicans are free to pass any law they wish. Why is that bad, well nobody should want this, I wouldnt want any one party to hold the majority in all 3 branches, not Republicans, not Democrats. There are no checks and balances anymore, this could threaten the existance of our constitution and while it may seem unlikely, it is very possible it could lead to civil war. That scares me.

wtf...civil war? That's quite a stretch there. The lead in the Senate isn't wide enough to easily break a filibuster, so there's your check right there.

I'm gonna have to slam you here, sorry. Kerry is a douche. I didn't want Kerry. I voted for David Cobb. Find me a leftist news source (besides maybe indymedia.org), and I'll be in shock. CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, TIME/WARNER, FOX, MSN, and others are all major corporations that have effectively paid Bush to ensure that they give very little back to the country that makes their buisness model possible, and sit more in the conservative side on every major issue. Their primary function at this point is to dumb down the populace with stories about J-LO and Brittney's boyfriends rather than to serve any actual news. The Daily Show (which is a comedy show) offers up a higher standard of journalism than any of the "news" shows that currently air like: Bill O'Reilly, crossfire, rush limbaugh, 60 minutes, headline news, and all the regular evening news shows on cbs/abc/nbc/upn/etc. Actually, The Daily Show is probably the only place to get ANY real news, left, right or otherwise, and it comes on right after a show where puppets crank call people. So yeah, the media is fucked, but not in a leftist way. Their corporate right offs smell a little laisse faire to be anything but a neauvo reaganomics, although I have no idea how to spell half of those words.

Here's a glaring example of how the constitution (not just free speech) is infringed, compromised, no longer a legal issue for fascists in this country to worry about: Right to assemble and right to free speech are often lumped under the crime "inciting a riot". Describe the right to assemble and the right to speak freely in any other terms, it'll still carry hefty fines and or jail time. Here's another example:
FUCK
What I just did is indecent, immoral, and illegal. Technically I could go to court for it, though it's not likely to happen because 90% of the population is doing it, so FUCK again.

"A man that says that Bush's tax cuts do nothing for the economy, but make the rich richer, when he knows that allowing business owners to keep more of their money is good for both the economy, and the middle-class." This idea ties back to "Laisse Faire" which is why the French Revolution happened, possibly the bloodiest peasant uprising in history. Need more examples of how that ideology has failed EVERY time it has been tried? Here ya go:
Pre-civil war economics: Laisse Faire
Pre-WWI economics: Laisse Faire
Post WWI German economy (and the subsequent rise of Hitler): Laisse Faire
The Great depression: The planet starved (millions literally) while a few key figures increased their net worth beyond recognition.
All of these things lead to:
WWII, where half the planet was trying to kill the other half so that people could afford bread.
The Reagan era: Laisse Faire (preceded the biggest stock market crash in history other than the start of the great depression, during Bush Sr.'s term when baby jessica was in the well.
The current dictatorship that came to power under a false election in the year 2000: The economy has lost more jobs than in all of american HISTORY, the deficit is completely out of control, our trade deficit is too, and all of our children will be paying for this indefinitely.

Simply stated: Laisse Faire doesn't work, never has, and is a very bad economic idea put forth by a few wealthy individuals who can use it to gain even more money and power, and live on parts of the planet generally uneffected by the ravages of war. Dress it any way you want, read some history, it's a STUPID IDEA. People starving on any part of the economic spectrum is NEVER good for the economy, that is until war finally breaks out, which is VERY good for the economy, but is that price really worth a few extra bucks in the Rockefeller/Blue blood accounts? Not in my mind.

The rest of your paragraph slams Kerry, who was in the same fraternity as Bush, and by and large is just as much of a douche bag as Bush is, except of course that he is not retarded and can form and finish complete sentences, something that eludes our current Daddy's boy. I think it's hillarious that the democrats would try to push somebody as unelectable as Kerry. What real MAN would vote for a guy who's had cosmetic surgery (barring a guy who maybe had half his face burned off or something)? Kerry is a douche though, I agree with the rest of your paragraph. The two party system is completely broken, this is NOT a democracy, and hence it's ridiculously hypocritical for bush to look in the camera and say "They hate freedom." When clearly he has NO interest in it himself (Patriot act and police state anyone?).

The only real solution is (maybe) IRV which will never happen because the same corporations that control BOTH major parties and all the news media will never LET it happen, they have way too much to loose.

PLEASE PLEASE, if you're going to at all address me in a political debate at least read what I've already written. Furthermore, you'd do well to study a little HISTORY, as all of this is a repeat of what's happened in other countries before, and to disastrous effect.

Vamp, you know nothing right? You don't even live in a democratic nation so how can you say that? I don't claim to say how your parlimentary government should be run so why the hell do you think that its all a game between parties. It has nothing to do with democrats and republicans. It has nothing to do with the elections. It has everything to do with law. Laws are passed every day in the US, and there are plenty of stupid ones that are rejected that either the democrats OR the republicans come up with. Without checks and balances there is nothing to stop that. If the democrats held absolute majority, there would be nothing to stop them from passing their laws, regardless of how dumb they are, and with the republicans its the same way. We need to parties for our system to be effective. Vamp I spent most my life in school studying how my government works, I'm sure you did the same for your government. If you want to debate our government I suggest you read up a little on the subject.

If you research your claims then why is it that you so grotesquely believe that everything in the US is about Democrats versus Republicans and the rivalry between them. Again, what does this have to do with our views? What I was talking about was the dangers of a one party system in the United States and you start complaining about the Democrats being at fault if it happens and I find that offensive.

Republicans have controlled both houses for the last four years, not counting that brief period after Jim Jeffords jumped ship. I haven't seen any shots fired in your civil war yet. Plus, you're going on the assumption that the Republicans vote in a block, which is simply not the case. There are some left-leaning Republicans that often gum up the works (Arlen Specter comes to mind).

Well if you act like you know nothing then I believe that you know nothing about our government.

Even Republicans don't do that outside of the candidates themselves. I wouldn't like what you had to say if it was against Republicans, Democrats, Liberals, Conservatives, Libretarians, Green Parties, Socialists, British, Americans, French, Germans, Communists, or anyone else simply because almost everything that comes from you is simply not true.

Funnily enough you are the first person at Emutalk to really piss me off, and believe me its not easy to piss me off. So congratulations, I must be the last on your list. I know I'm not the first.

Yes but they were unable to gain control of the Judiciary. I know Republicans don't always vote in a block but it does happen more often than not. The same can be said for Democrats, they aren't any better. I know it sounds unlikely but it is a possibility, the russian Czars never thought people would rebel against them, the USSR thought they would never fall.

Here's the simple fact: Both parties vote as a block. That block is called do what the corporations who pay us and run the media want, and screw everything else including the American people and people in EVERY OTHER COUNTRY, the environment, the economy, education, infrastructure, health care. You name it unless Time/Warner/Viacom/Exxon/Enron/Disney/McDonad's/Pepsico/all one big company destroying the planet and it's inhabitants (people, animals, plants, name it!) is for it, it's not getting passed, and unless their not against it, it's not getting passed, and unless they actually coauthored it or have some pet provision attached, it's not getting passed.

There is no democracy, there is no republic, there is no free market, there are no personal freedoms or rights, there are no environmental controls, there is no health care, there is no welfare, there is no public works. There is simply a corporate bought system that we are consumer/slaves for. And it's only going to get worse.

Both parties are completely fraudulent, which is why the elections are always so close now. Nobody gives a shit which fuckhead gets elected because their BOTH fuckheads, and everybody knows it.

What I was talking about was the dangers of a one party system in the United States and you start complaining about the Democrats being at fault if it happens and I find that offensive.

Actually he has quite a point with that. If you think about it, the democrats made an attempt to tell everybody how bad they think Bush was, so they raised this huge hate campaign, yet they had nothing better to offer. What they didn't realize is that they antagonized larger amounts people who otherwise don't vote.

People like Michael Moore, Bruce Springstine, Al Franken, and every Tom Dick and Harry that ever believed in the "anybody but Bush" idea are what cost Kerry the election. They are anti-american for the most part, and most people clearly saw that, so they vote for the party that looks more pro American. Larger voter turnouts almost always favor republicans, and most people aren't even aware of who is running for the house or senate, so they just vote for their favorite party when they select those.

Moral of the story is like I have always said; never vote against somebody, only vote for somebody.

The anti-Bush crowd handed the GOP an even bigger victory than it could have ever hoped for.

The forefathers never envisioned a way to counter this and allow for checks and balances and ensure our future liberties, and hence we've started losing them, and don't mind, because LOOK THE BACHELOR'S ON........

The constitution is not holding up under stress from the new mass production society, and it's media monster. The valuable things that our forefathers (who were quite brilliant) attempted to attain for their children's heritage (life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness), are all falling under the jack boot of starbucks, wal-mart, and cingular. It's not in the papers it's in the halls, it's in your room, and it's on your body. They won and we never even knew we were fighting.

Once Bush finds another country to invade, he will have no choice - some in the Bush Administration have already said we do not have enough manpower in Iraq (which already numbers 130k), and other countries are reluctant to send their troops into the line of fire for our stupidity.

Our troops were sent in unprepared and ill-equipped. The planning on this was absolutely fucking hideous to the point that Bush tried to claim that we hit them "too quickly". Huh!?

We've got at least one unit of troops that refused to run a supply route because they didn't even have armor on their damn vehicles and they were being sent through an ambush zone.

So, no, I don't think Bush gives a flying fuck about our soldiers, and he's more than willing to let as many of us die as it takes to fulfill his little "crusade".

It's just a shame that some of you are too ignorant to see the situation for what it's worth.

And unlike some of you, I don't think the number of posts I've made is some sort of automatic qualifier. It no more describes the size of my dick than it describes my knowledge of world events, events I have at least some grasp of considering I live in this ever-increasing religious shithole.

I am not trying to argue about whether or not Bush is bad. Every time I hear somebody talk about that these days I just ignore the conversation. All I do is point out neo-fascism when I see it.

Michael Moore is a prime example these days, as I noted on another forum:


Michael Moore falls into a variation of fascism that has evolved into something that sounds more acceptable than classic fascism. If you disagree with him then you are a stupid redneck and everybody hates you, even if your oppinions are otherwise perfectly valid. Also Michael Moore is clearly racist against white people (in spite of being white himself, definitely not a first for a political pundit.) He also constantly uses propaganda, and he specifically targets people who aren't educated about politics at all.

i hate to poke that bubble, but calling michael moore a fascist or the likes is just as stupid as doing that to the republican party. its just primitive black and white thinking that is so widespread these days. want an example? most of the accusements in that quote also apply to the bush administration (e.g. using propaganda and targeting dense people ... bible belt anyone?). about being racist against white people ... i laugh :happy:

of course you have to filter everything moore claims, but then he _is_ a satirist. the problem is he is actually seen as a serious political commentator, which is far off. but neo-fascist tenedencies...where the hell did that come from?

regarding bush, he does say (and i quote): "either you are with us (e.g. the ruling party) or with the terrorists" and that god told him to invade iraq. in fact he _loves_ to appeal to that highest authority in his favor. that may be more the indirect way but it was the same core message of "god says you must vote for me". bush, like moore, also uses very simple reasoning to target the uninformed and uneducated person. really, i think bushs and moores methods are pretty alike in alot of respects...

As for my opinion, Kerry is a flip-flopping indecisive hypocrite. At least Bush sticks to one thing despite him being horribly bad with English, at least he admitted he's bad with English.

The first is the Common Dreams report that shows that optically scanned votes have a strange anomoly in florida: the Touchscreen counties roughly matched up to party registration numbers, but optically scanned paper ballot counties showed strangeness like one county where 69.3% registered democrat, but only 28% of them voted for Kerry. Palm Beach County, Florida logged 88,000 more votes than there were voters; that machines in LaPorte, Michigan discounted 50,000 voters; in Columbus, Ohio voting machines gave Bush an extra 4,000 votes; in Broward County, Florida voting machines were counting backwards; Lastly, precincts in New Mexico gave provisional ballots that will never be counted to as many as 10% of all their voters." :whistling

The slashdot coverage is valid, as is the report, the fact that CNN has reported the stories, as has yahoo, various newspapers of the non-tabloid variety... I'd go on but you're only into your own opinions anyway. Besides, I never said I thought the polls were skewed with cheating from one side because it's almost certain that both sides had a few tricks. The fact that the overwhelming majority of it does seem to indicate that there was something funny going on in the key states can hardly be dismissed as whining, as this very strongly affects the final outcome. Even if Bush did still win it comes down to these final pieces and gives an even narrower margin of victory. "Clear victory (and a mandate from) the American people?" (Bush's words more or less)?
Two percent is hardly a clear victory, and now it looks like being even less than that.
Unless you're suggesting we dismiss factual irregularities from a debate as long as the outcome also reflects your personal opinions..?

When two percents are three and a half million people, I'd say yeah, that's a pretty fucking clear victory.

And I suggest that you don't tell other people what to post, and what not to post.

Perhaps good advice for everyone. Moderators included.

EDIT: New news...
"Attorney General John Ashcroft announced he will resign, according to multiple news sources. While many here dislike him, others have more favorable opinions of him. He became the point man on the USA Patriot Act, which typically ignites harsh opinions on both sides of the aisle." Reader cnsc1rtr , referring to the AP's version of the story, writes "He gave Bush a five-page, handwritten letter in which he stated, 'The objective of securing the safety of Americans from crime and terror has been achieved.'"

Right, well that was Bush's whole shebang for the last and next four years... now that's settled can we throw that crazy guy out of the White House? :P

You don't see Bush saying "God says you must vote for me" or "(pick your favorite race here) are a bunch of assholes"

No, God told him to bomb Iraq though.

Give George a few months... After all, he's pretty much promised to seek out and destroy ALL terrorist groups. When he gets bored of random invasions and remembers groups such as the IRA/Real IRA, can "The War on Ireland" really be that far off? ;)

And even more worrying, if we're allied to Ireland doesn't that make us his enemy too?
*Stalkid64 sees more of G.W.'s world domination plans unfolding...* :unsure:

You know, I didn't think this was possible, but the new AG nominee, Alberto Gonzales, could make Ashcroft look good.

This is getting silly. It's almost sad to see some of the posts in here...if you can't say something useful please just shut up...and if you're frustrated about someone's stupidness you do not go post posts as some people in this thread have done.

Closed.
