It's my 700 th post, and I've gotta ask y'all a question...Did you EVER
think that things in this country could reach this point?
I have to say, that when George W. Bush was nominated by the Republicans as their 2000 candidate, it made me laugh. Oh god, what a loser, I thought...When he actually was "selected", I ran around like Chicken Little screaming "We're all Doooomed."
I thought he might be able to overturn Roe v.Wade....but I never DREAMED...well, this.
Did you?

1. I thought it would be bad.
I didn't think it would be this catastrophic.

2. I have seen it coming for years.
I just never knew they could be so evil and that they have been planning it for as long as they have. :scared: They are an evil group of people.

3. I never dreamed it would be so bad.
I braced myself for a bumpy ride but I had no idea.

I was talking with hubby last night and I said that it will take forever to undo what has been done. Even if * were impeached along with all of his regime being arrested, we can not undo all the laws, deaths, judges, etc... that has happened. It will be many years before our country will be able to truly heal after all the carnage that has been done to our system and the people.

5. i vaguely remember
How he campaigned and presented himself pretty much the opposite of what he really was and most people didn't know anything about him.

"I'm a uniter not a divider" That was quite a zinger

7. I thought they would play dirty because of watching them since
Edited on Fri May-27-05 12:26 PM by higher class
Watergate, retrospecitive reading of the JFK assassination and new revelations about it, Iran-Contra, in particular, topped off with that depicable act of impeachment....but now I know - no one could have predicted the breadth of their evil = they are out to DESTROY us. With HATCHETS, SLIME, SLUR, BOTTOMLESS LIES, THEFTS, and DIS-REALITIES.

They are all about history - they have taken some of communism (with much more to come in relation to spying on each other and loss of rights - we're already there with propaganda passed off as news and the OMMISSIONS, ABSENCES, and DISTORTIONS and their lying, deceiving, theiving concept of news), facsim, dictorships, slavery, military rule and they are emulating and amalgamating the worst of leaders of death and evil.

Cheney will go down as one of the worst possible men in high places.

8. I am still shocked that they selected him
Edited on Fri May-27-05 12:26 PM by DrDebug
I was sure - 100% positive - that people were not stupid enough to elect Bush. It was shocking enough to see that it was a close race, but still it looked like Gore had won.

And then they sElected Bush :insert smiley with exploding head:
