No Rusty, America wins.
And now it's crying time again.
Another 4 years of bitching, crying, lying, and complaining.
Her come the foreign assholes sticking their noses in our business.
They'll say Bush stole the election even though he won the popular vote by 4 million.
Now we have to listen to liberal nutso's saying how stupid Bush is.
NEWS FOR YOU IDIOTS: IF BUSH IS DUMB HOW DUMB IS KERRY WHO LOST.
I knew all along the democrats had the wrong man. Given the economy, the war etc: Any democrat off the streets could have got as many votes as Kerry.
WRONG MAN, WRONG TIME, WRONG PLACE, WRONG ELECTION:
Number 1 issue was not the war, the economy, or jobs. IT WAS MORAL VALUES. Something most liberals forget about. But most voters didn't.

More than moral values - American safety and security throughout the world.
And you've gotta love a President who while standing in front of the Presidential helecopter, flips someone the bird. My respect for the guy just grew even more. Thanks for that. And thanks for the Live porn Blog.

I guess all the commie-pinko, hippie, give peace a chance, liet's just hug Osama and give all our money to the poor are crying in their low carb non alcoholic beer.
Good riddance to them. They can kiss my ass, along with Osama, Zarquawi and all the French and German knuckleheads that should be thanking us for not bombing them to the fucking stone age because they helped arm and supply Saddam.
Keep up the good work Rusty...

Please don't take this the wrong way, but I'm really tired of listening to this ill-informed analysis. F**k you, terrorists? What are you talking about? Bin Laden is the guy who killed 3000 innocent Americans on 9/11, not Saddam Hussein. We pursued a guy who had not been supporting terrorism against America. A recent poll showed that 62% of Republicans believe that Saddam had something to do with the 9/11 attacks. But please, people, do the research. Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11. The policy to attack Iraq was created in the 90's by people like Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz, who have great influence over the current administration. For instance, they wrote a letter to Clinton in 1998 urging Clinton to topple Saddam -- and terrorism was not a reason. (Link:
http://www.newamericancentury.org/iraqclintonletter.htm ).
There is only one way a person can get away with saying that Bush is nailing the terrorists. And that's if you listen to Bush campaign spin. Even Bush's own State Department acknowledged that terrorism around the world is increasing and that anti-American anger has reached "shocking levels." The only reason they admitted that is because Colin Powell tries to be a decent and honest man, although he did slip up and embarrass himself during his UN presentation. In a second term, we will hear even more skewed statistics, and even more exaggerations about Bush's success than we heard last term. And last term we heard enough of it to convince enough Republicans that Bush is now an eight-year president -- completely embarrassing for a man whose policies have been abject failures.
Bush has the worst jobs record of any president since the Great Depression. Even during those rare months Bush has a supposedly good jobs showing, job growth barely outpaces population growth and overall, it has not. Clinton created more than 20 million jobs.
Bush's fiscal policy is a disaster. You can't cut taxes on the rich at the same time you're going to war, particularly if you already have huge deficits! This is utter, irresponsible insanity. But how many people actually pay attention to stuff like this? Most people like Bush because they identify with him. He's a good Christian, a nice, honest man. Great. That doesn't make him special. And it doesn't make him qualified to lead the free world. Bush has failed time and again, and America has embarrassed itself by reelecting him anyway. Today, I am ashamed to be an American. I know we can do better than this. We don't have to bully the world. That's unproductive. America has always tried to set a positive example for the world, not bludgeon it. Bush threw away more than two centuries of American foreign policy, and for what? We removed a guy who Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice said in 2001 was not very dangerous, who nuclear inspectors before the invasion confirmed had no nuclear program, and who terrorism experts have long known was not collaborating with al-Qaeda and was not involved in terrorism against America.
The problem is that there are so many people who want to believe what the president says, that he's strong on terrorism and taking the fight to our enemies. What he's really doing is beginning a process of American self-destruction, and I can only pray that the damage he does in his second term is somehow limited -- though how it will be I don't know since Republicans will control Congress, the Senate, and the Supreme Court, and soon have a radical Supreme Court on their side.
It isn't enough to support someone just because he's a Republican. Democracy is pointless if we don't actually analyze a candidate and put him through the ringer. Republicans didn't do this, and I'm angry at every single person who cared more about supporting George W. Bush than they did about honestly reflecting about what is best for this country.
Bush came into office in 2001 with almost no grasp of foreign policy. Brent Scowcroft, HW Bush's national security advisor, said W Bush wasn't comfortable with foreign policy. Richard Perle, who designed much of the Iraq war, said Bush "didn't know very much." The problem wasn't just foreign policy. Paul O'Neill, Bush's former Treasury Secretary, said Bush didn't understand economics. And if you've heard Bush speak about either economics or foreign policy, it really comes as no surprise that he doesn't understand them.
Immediately before 9/11, Bush spent almost all of a month and a half on vacation. We've all heard about Richard Clarke's complaints. But Clarke is just the tip of the iceberg. Former counterterrorism director Rand Beers said the Bush administration had no clue about terrorism ( even after 9/11. Former FBI terrorism director Dale Watson said he almost fell out of his chair when he saw Ashcroft's planning guidance for 2001 because Ashcroft had removed all of Janet Reno's bulletpoints for terrorism. The Pentagon hadn't even FILLED its counterterrorism position by 9/11; the leadership there was concentrating on finding a way to invade Iraq.
I know Americans are concerned about terrorism. But come on, people. Talking about terrorism and waging a successful campaign against it are not one and the same. Bush has the bluster and the confidence. He just doesn't have the policy, and it saddens me that the first two seem to be enough to win an election these days.
Bush's energy policy is terrible, and endangers national security. We needed a fresh start. Now we won't get it for at least four years, further endangering our long-term security. Americans are losing healthcare coverage at an alarming rate, but now we can't fix the problem for at least another four years. Bush will continue to try press for his "tax cuts" for the wealthy. Because we are in deep deficits, however, these are not tax cuts so much as they are loans from the middle class of the future (our kids) to give handouts to the wealthiest Americans of today. In the middle of an expensive campaign against terrorism, should this really be our priority? What are we doing? Bush looks at the world ideologically: tax cuts are correct, period. But the world just isn't that simple, and I PROMISE you that such naivete will DESTROY America. Empires fall, you know, and we cannot get by on this sort of crude, myopic policy. It will come back to kick us in the rear. By then, the memories of your Nov. 2, 2004 celebrations of a Bush win will have long faded, and perhaps you'll realize the dangers in caring more about a single politician than about openly seeking what is best for the country.
Hopefully by then it will not be too late.

Well, America, well done. You've got the President you deserve. A monkey in a suit.
The problem is, we have to put up with him as well. Sorry for sticking my nose in but when it affects us so much I feel as though I should.
Thanks. Thanks for nothing. Thanks for war and a rise in terror.
Thanks for a President who's a fool. Thanks.

Funny, how so many foreigners can be duped with such ease to believe such nonsense.
Before we start the party, can someone tell me why they haven't officially conceded YET...do we still need more votes from Ohio?
Rusty, can you jpeg the pics of Bush to my email addy? I'd love to send them to some Bush friends of mine.

When you call me an America hater, now you've made me mad. See, this is precisely what I mean when I say this campaign was not about issues. When I present issues and facts, people respond by labelling me a "liberal" or an "America-hater" or whatnot. I can't speak for anyone else who's posted comments here, but the only reason I go through the trouble is because I love this country. You think I'm getting paid to post these comments, or think about these issues? I'd like you to point out one thing that I said that indicates I'm an America hater -- or even a "liberal" for that matter. I love it. When the mainstream media reports something, regardless of whether it's true, if it reflects badly on Bush suddenly it's the fault of the "liberal media."
I've never called myself a "liberal" and don't consider myself one. I don't really care for labels. What I do care for is facts, and trying to figure out what's best for America. As far as I can tell, you guys care more about shaking your pom-poms and doing your little dance for George Bush than you do about spending the time to figure out what's really going on in the world. And if America falls from its position in the world (its image is already suffering), then you guys have no one to blame but yourself. When America falls, you can take away that great consolation that George W. Bush won the presidency in 2004 with your help.
Big f**king deal.
Let me look at a few of the other comments. I tried to make my own comments as thoughtful and fact-oriented as possible.
"F88k You bin Laden, F88k you Zarqawi- better run boyz. F88k you Iran, F88k you North Korean- better give up those nukes now before you hurt yourselves, F88k you France, oh one more time- F88k you France and your puppy Germany- multipolor this baby, F88k you Kofi- no body gives a s88t what you think. ahhhhhh, much better. Thanks Rusty."
You're kidding me, right? This isn't what America is all about. First of all, Bush has not focused on bin Laden. "I'm not that concerned about him," he said a few months after 9/11. Clearly not. He's still at-large, even though Bush's PR team pulled off enough magic to get Bush the win anyway -- largely thanks to the people who were willing to swallow whatever they were fed. As for Zarqawi, the Bush administration had a chance to bomb his camp before the war and decided not to, because it would have undermined a (supposed) rationale for war. Great. He wasn't in Saddam's part of Iraq, by the way. Before the war, Zarqawi was based in the Kurdish part, friendly to the US. Also, he wasn't aligned with al-Qaeda nor focusing on the US until AFTER we invaded Iraq. If you love creating enemies unnecessarily, you definitely voted for the right man.
And if you want to render the UN useless, don't come crying to me when the world turns back into the chaotic all-for-one-and-one-for-all environment it was until a few decades ago. European nations used to invade each other just 'cause they could. Are you repeating angry, simplistic diatribe you heard from somewhere, or is your point actually based in sound logic and reasoning? If it is, could you perhaps expand beyond the F88k's and s88t's, because it's kind of hard to respond to those.
As for going around the world f88king up people because we can, that's a recipe for self-destruction, and has nothing to do with the founding principles of this nation.
"Funny how when America proves we've been right all along, the lib's and anti-war folks can't just bow out gracefully...they remain on here, gluttons for punishment."
I never said I was anti-war, and I never said I was lib. Speaking for myself, I tried to present ideas. All you can do is throw out labels. That's pathetic. And even if someone is "lib" or whatever else, that means you don't need to bother thinking about their points? How easy your life must be. As Thomas Jefferson said, "Ignorance is the softest pillow on which a man can rest his head."
"I knew the comments would start flowing in, such as 'wait till such and such happens', 'intelligent people were duped into believing Bush's promises', 'the chance for world peace is gone"...blah, blah, blah....' "
I wasn't talking about "the chance for world peace" or "Bush's promises." Did you even read what I wrote? I was talking about Bush's policy failures, a subject you all seem allergic to discussing.
"Just go cry in your 'pints' and start your own blog...This one is for the WINNERS."
I don't give a f**k about George W. Bush, or about John Kerry for that matter. I'm talking about America. And about issues. Why can't anyone respond intelligently?
"I'm amazed with these unhappy Bush/America haters. Claim they're the only intelligent people on the planet."
Where did you get that I hate America? If you can point out the part of my comments where I demonstrate that I hate America, that would be helpful. Funny, I don't remember saying "we" (whoever that is) are the only intelligent people on the planet. If anything, I seem to have overestimated my audience, since apparently no one is capable of responding to any of my points.
"They always lose but they're the intelligent ones. Bitch, bitch, cry, cry. Just like I said they would do."
Who exactly is "they"? I never claimed to speak for anyone but myself, and I don't look to anyone else for my beliefs. If something makes sense, I embrace it.
"Just like Kerry, no substance, just find fault, he did this wrong, she did this wrong. The tax is wrong. The military is wrong. Potato chips are wrong."
I was responding to a topic called "Bush Wins," so obviously Bush came into the equation. You want solutions? OK, I'll go over a few quickly, just like Kerry did. (I don't think you were listening when he went over solutions.) Taxes? How about not cutting taxes on the wealthy while we're sending troops to war? How about coming up with reasonable fiscal plan that doesn't endanger economic stability. Tax cuts are nice, but we cannot spend an unlimited amount of money and simply keep cutting taxes. As Alan Greenspan said in reference to this exact topic, "The free lunch has yet to invented." Kerry's own plan involved controlled spending, rolling back Bush's unaffordable tax cuts on the wealthiest Americans, and even a modest tax cut on the middle class. If you think Bush is a fiscal conservative, think again. As Rush Limbaugh said, Bush has "outspent Clinton" -- and by a lot.
The military is wrong? Did I say the military is wrong? No, the American military is the greatest in the world. It's our leadership that isn't doing it justice. The suicide rate in Iraq is higher than it was during the Vietnam war. Morale is terrible, and it's BEEN terrible for a long time. The war plan was completely inadequate. They sent people over there without planning for a long occupation, even though a long occupation is precisely what many outside analysts had anticipated. They didn't give them the proper body armor, either personal body armor or armor for their vehicles. If they were going to go in, they needed far more troops. All the looting, the prisoner abuse scandal, the terrible security -- almost all of that was preventable. But of course, the timing and variety of war was absolutely wrong from the beginning. The UN inspections were working great; and if we went in, we should have done so patiently and with the proper alliances. Behind the scenes, even France said it would participate under certain conditions; we just didn't have any patience. The war has completely counteracted any possible benefits from any campaign against terrorism. It was a complete and total mistake. Even if the Iraqis get a democracy, there's a right way and a wrong way to go about things. This was the wrong way, and we are paying a huge price for our leadership's incompetence.
As for reducing terrorism, this campaign cannot be a military-focused campaign. Al-Qaeda is ALL OVER THE WORLD. As of 9/11, it was present in 45 nations. Iraq was not one of them, but today it's one of the hubs and prime recruiting areas. Bush ridicules using law enforcement to go after terrorists. Guess what? Law enforcement is what has done the most damage against al-Qaeda, weeding out members and disrupting financial networks. If you want to bomb 50 countries, you may get a lot of great fireworks, but you sure as h**l won't solve the terrorism problem. That's exactly what we're seeing now. Bush isn't solving s**t. But he invades a country and bombs away, and then his campaign team applies the spin, and then guys like some of you eagerly eat it all up.
We need to shore up our homeland security. We haven't done nearly as much as some experts have recommended; instead we're spending $5 billion a month in Iraq. We also need to spend more money on diplomacy. The State Department says it doesn't have enough money to counteract the "shocking levels" of anger the war has created in the Middle East. Those angry kids and teens are tomorrow's terrorists, and we barely seem to care. Just bomb the f88k out of everyone, as the earlier poster seems to want to do. That's fantastic.
Another thing we really need to do is to start pouring BILLIONS of dollars -- yes, billions, just like we're now spending in Iraq -- into developing fuel cell technology and other alternative fuel technology, so that we can reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
Economy-wise, we need to provide more intelligent stimulus. Simplistic tax cuts for the rich are passe. There are far more intelligent and effective ways to stimulate the economy -- providing specific incentives to foster growth, rather than just putting more money into some billionarie's pocket. I'm NOT making a Robin Hood argument, so don't even try it. I'm making a common-sense argument.
If you want me to talk about ideas, I can give you ideas all day. Right now I'm more concerned about the fact that our own commander-in-chief seems to have so few good ideas.
"Kerry lost because all he and his cronies could do is find fault."
Actually, he lost because all people like you could do was find fault in him. You never gave him a chance.
"No stand, no ideas, no nothing, just bitch, piss and moan. Nothing to offer. These charactors must be the unhappiest people in the world. Bitch, complain, cry. Everyone is wrong but them. The majority of Americans are wrong. Only the cry babies are right."
"These characters"? Who are you talking about? I speak only for myself. And yes, when our democracy is moving in the wrong direction, I bitch and complain, because THAT'S WHAT DEMOCRACY IS ABOUT. Our nation was founded on the idea of holding our government accountable. I'm not going to act as though I'm living in a dictatorship, because as far as I'm concerned, I'm not. If you want to pretend this is a totalitarian government, and you have to fall in line with whatever the government says, that's your prerogative.
Doesn't anyone have an opinion about actual issues? I find it very scary that all people seem to know how to do is throw out labels like "liberal" and "traitor." You're kidding me, right? Please tell me our country is really not as bad off as you're making me think it is. Tell me you've actually thought about an issue at least once.

Frankly, this post just about says it all. Kick ass and keep bombing the shit out of whoever they're called.
You're right about one thing. As long as Bush is president, you can certainly expect more beheadings.
"we need to forge ahead, invade Al Jazeera....for surely, they are a key source to accessing the videos of these atrocities. Invade those fuckers, kidnap them, make 'em talk or else...CHOP!"

US PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION RESULT.
Shame. In my view the Bush Administration has been the most incompetent, arrogant, duplicitous, cynical, wrong-headed administration that this country has seen.
It hobbled our economy; has turned our environment into a cash cow for its buddies; seems willing to drain the world's oil reserves; and has alienated some of our allies.
It has failed to understand that "liberty" and "democracy" may have very different meanings to those societies which have been seperated from the West for centuries, and who have lived under tyrannies supported by us for generations. Despite the separation of Church and State in our Constitution, the Administration is trying to impose a morality based on a religious outlook not shared by all of us.
It has tarnished our national soul, and our global role as the model of a moral society, by adopting a policy of pre-emptive war against villainous but unthreatening regime, while at the same time failing to vigorously pursue our true enemies.
The insistence on "staying the course", when that course has repeatedly been shown to have failed, is not laudable determination but pig-headedness.

We now know exactly what proportion of Americans choose an ultra - rightwing, big - business theocracy as its leadership; what proportion believe in barring scientific progress, stagnating and reversing the process of securing human rights for its citizens; what proportion think America should invade sovereign countries at will, sabotage global institutions, and trample all over the rest of us.

Perhaps there is a god after all, and he is a jealous, capricious and vengeful as he is depicted in the scriptures.
