the outcome of the election

Why did you vote for him? Thanks, Fragbait

Simple. The Democrats did not offer up a leader. They offered up a front man who was tied too strongly to a leftist agenda, and who has by his public statements indicated that he does not consider the sovereignty of the United States of America as important. Given my oath to the Constitution of the United States, that concern was very important to my extremely difficult decision. I was unhappy with my choices.

The Democrats showed that they sneeer at the moderates in their party as hard as the Fundies sneer at the Republican moderates. *Grrrr* That understanding gave me no motivation to accept the whole Democratic party package, to vote for change for the sake of change.

Senator Kerry himself was not the problem, his lack of demonstrated leadership aside, it was . . . the folks who propped him up, and the entire campaign of hate, vitriol, and venom that has been going on since November four years ago. He ran on a campaign platform, which had been built long before he outlasted his competitors in the Democratic party, of hate, of negative energy. I can't vote for people who do that.

My vote was also a message to George Soros, and to Hollywood: shut up and be rich, shut up and sing, unless you have something substantive to say. Slinging BS don't get my vote. I have an extremely well developed BS detector, partly because I have been known to sling my share! :lol: I sincerely hope that it was not hyperbole when Pres Bush addressed "all of you who voted for Senator Kerry" when he said "I will work to earn your trust." Backing that up is an endeavour worth undertaking, and if accomplished, might do a bit to heal a rift that has been growing in our country for the past four years. Tough goal to aim for, not ready to bet on the outcome just yet. Hope only at this point.

Now that the spewing of BS is done with, we might all ask Lenin's infamous question:

Chto Delat ?
