"I'm sorry I ever voted for bush, twice"...yeah right, don't make me laugh
some are starting to come forward and admit they are now ashamed they ever voted for bush, twice even. and in the near future many more will make the same stupid hollow statement, but i don't want to hear it, and i won't be understanding and forgiving about it.

they can say they were fooled, or tricked, or lied to, but that's pure bullshit, and a sickening attempt at appearing human. some were fooled, but the majority were willing bush supporters and bush apologists and bush zombies, and i won't suffer them trying to somehow make up for being idiots and assholes.

you voted for the nazis, TWICE dumbasses, so don't come cryin' to me about how you were blindsided or taken advantage of, or somehow hoaxed into supporting them. you shit in your own nests, and now you just have to deal with your stupidity and shame, and the disgusting results of your votes.

1. I agree, and even my family members....
that voted for him won't get my sympathy, although I just try my damnedest to avoid the discussion in the first place. What I've noticed is that they appear to be avoiding the subject now, too.

2. Don't forget the 2000 Supreme Court
Those justices (injustices?) who selected Bush by throwing out people's right to have their votes count should rot in hell.

25. Ummm... Lake Oswego OR $2.49 9/10 regular unleaded
Yeah, I know, It's not 2.50. Strangly enough for a 12 month period ending around may of this year the spread between regular and diesel was around $0.50/g now the spread is about $0.10/g

7. Get a commitment to vote a Dem slate for 2006 and 2008
We have to take at least one branch of Congress, preferably both. If we focus their embarrassment on ways to make amends then we can start taking get rid of these crooks. Make them start recruiting new voters. Saying sorry is not enough. Make amends suckers.

8. I didn't vote for bush twice and I'm proud.
Edited on Mon Jul-11-05 08:53 AM by BOSSHOG
The only republican for President I voted for was Gerald Ford in 1976. Misguided youth? Maybe! Very grateful for the man for what he did post-Nixon? Most likely! I probably have several more presidential votes left in me and I cannot possibly see any of them going for a republican (for any office.)

I did vote for President Carter in 1980.

11. I am delighted to report that I have never voted for a Republican!
Have voted for a few independents and greens. It took Bush to make register as a Democrat though. * continues to unite the American people as he told us he would. Unfortunately it is in the cellar of world opinion, the poor house, the free clinics, and the unemployment lines.

9. My experience, the workplace politics placed saleried in Bush camp.
We pay dearly when we oppose Bush, in business. AND in my neighborhood, many USED to fly Bush Colors and bumper stickers.
NOW a days, however, the pendulum has indeed swung, and my old VW's with their KERRY EDWARDS bumper stickers are my badge of pride.
AND I hope that the message of opposition to BUSH on my bumpers helped others voice their political dissent.
I recommend workplace restraint, I lost at least two good jobs from vietnam war opposition. Self employement now insulates me from caring about anti war and anti republican politics, 24 hrs a day. Fence sitting is stressful, and that's not healthy.

12. I know what you mean ....Sparkman. When I worked for Kodak,
....(as an I.T. manager), all my bosses were outspoken Bush and republican supporters and I remember several times I had to almost chew off my tongue to keep from calling them a pack of stupid, short-sighted bastards...

26. The 4 year term seems to be standard, then promo to hi $$ or bye-bye.
If you don't "fit in", it's bye bye. If you do, it's up the ladder.
Technical competence is relative and subjective, in management positions, yet that's where the 6 figures incomes reside. Try to make $100K outside corporate Amerika. I'll ready your early grave.

10. Sorry, but I would welcome them
I do know a person who voted for Bush. He listens to Paul Harvey every day at lunch. He truly believed that 9/11 and Saddam were connected, even though we have a terrific newspaper that said there was no connection. To be fair, he is working 2 jobs and just didn't have the time to read the newspaper.

You see, that is the problem, many have no idea what is really going on. Their lives consist of what is going on in their own little universe and no where else. They need other people to tell them what is going on. And then they need to realize that their own struggles can be lessened if they vote for the right person.

16. No sympathy for him. Lots of people are busy but still make the
time for adult responsibilities. I know lots of uninformed Americans like this. No time, they say, yet they have time to play golf every week, or watch Survivor and their other brainless shows, sit at the bar BSing with their friends, playing video games for hours on end, shopping endlessly, spending countless hours watching sports on teevee...it goes on and on with the excuses for why they have no time.

29. Not all do
My dad only has about an hour or two each night to do something leasureable. On the weekend he works too on other things. I fill him in on stuff going on and get him to watch the Daily show because I video tape it for him and whenever he has the chance we watch it. So not everybody has that capaibility like I do to spend some time online and reading things.

13. And they'll vote for Jeb or McCain or in 2008. ANYONE WHO
blindly votes on party lines doesn't deserve to be talked to.

No exceptions.

With the Dems proving themselves unworthy; I'm now doing what I should have done long ago - vote different or not vote. The Dems need to EARN my vote; which is how it's SUPPOSED TO BE.

They get our votes and work for the people. They do not get our votes so they can do what they want, give themselves raises, and give preferential treatment to anyone or any corporation that "donates" the most money.

Until people realize that and stop voting for those self-obsessed jerkwads, NOTHING will change.

Go ahead and flame. I'm ready.

14. I'll Take Whoever We Can Get
If they say that they were tricked or fooled or bamboozled or whatever... I don't care. What's past is prologue. I'm ready to fight for 2006, 2008 and beyond. I have no time to fight 2000, 2002, or 2004 anymore.

20.  Well said.
I can think all the "dimwitted, lazy" thoughts I want, but getting the votes into the fold for '06 and '08 is way more important than telling anyone off.

30. I agree
If people really are truly sorry they will vote democratic at least this once in 2006 to get Bush for all he's done. I'll worry about 2008 in 2007. But for now I'm more wanting all these people who are sorry to put their vote where their mouth is.

15. I'd like t know where all of these apologetic Dimson** voters are
that I keep reading about here. In my neck of the woods, Bush**/Cheney stickers are all over, along with the W'04 ovals. Still getting flipped off because of the stickers on my car, and the dumbasses are still just as mean and war supportin' as ever.

17. Why are you crying about it? That's what you voted for.
Even for my freeper dad--he voted for Bush* 'cause Kerry and the "dummycrats" were gonna take his guns. Another time, he complained of his health care monthly costs going up. I said, "Why are you crying about it? That's what you voted for."

Now the freepers with teenagers are getting worried about the draft. I said, "Why are you crying about it? That's what you voted for."

For all of the W stickers I see, :grr: I wish I had a stack of enlistment forms so they can offer up their children, grand-children, and other relatives to their Lord High Bush*.

31. Exactly
My parents always told me "you don't vote, you can't complain" so that's why you have to vote smart. Don't vote on one or two issues. Vote on everything on the whole. So now that all these people are complaning they did vote for it.

They would vote for bush in 2004 because even though he f**ked up Iraq, and was still f**king it up, they felt he should have a chance to continue to f**k it up more.. :spank:

22. That attitude does not help!
I'm not sure why you want to alienate people. Do you think it's easy for people to admit they were wrong? Most people do not have the TIME to make politics a part of their lives. They just don't. They go with the information they've been handed.

Also, some people have been voting R for their whole lives. It takes them a while to see that their party has been changed. Being conservative doesn't make you evil, and if there are people who are able to make the distinction between conservatives and neo-cons, I welcome them into my party.

You should do the same, we need all the help we can get.

24. More less they need all the help they can get
I do not feel sorry for anyone who voted for the idiot twice. First time around I can understand, but doing it a second time well that is just plain ignorance. I feel no remorse for those people at all, matter of fact I laugh at them and tell them, "Told you so, twice even!" while I am scratching my ass trying to pay my bill's, go to school full time with rising tuition costs, and having to pay $2.40/gal. for gas to get my ass to work and to school. I don't even have enough to buy stuff from the store I work at.

But these people got what they wanted, I say let them bitch, and laugh at them, shame them, make them realize they are the ones who caused this mess from top to bottom.

Personally, I say fuck 'em.

27. I do not feel sorry for this people
I deal with people like this everyday. Do you want to know what made them change? Gas prices plain and simple. These people did not give a rat ass about our military dying in this war, they did not give a rat ass about the innocent children dying in this war. They only started to care about what boy wonder was doing when it started to hit their pockets. Granted, We live in a me, me, me society but that is the makeup of most Republicans. Most of them only care about themselves. That type of mentality is what got George Bush re-elected. The Republicans that I've come into contact with are clearly ashamed. They have taken off their W stickers and refuse to talk politics. This is only after they realized gas prices were going to stay high and not even this illegal war was going to change that.

I agree we need to reach out to this people and get them to vote Democrat in the mid-term elections. I guarantee you this, if for some reason the gas prices go down during the mid-terms some if not most of these people will suddenly get amnesia. They will continue to vote against their own best interest and when 2007 hits you will hear them bitching again. Bitching about the high gas prices and so on.

32. And the same dumb asses will go into the voting booth in
2006 & 2008 and will pull the lever marked GOP for the same lame reason they didn't vote for Kerry in 2004. I don't want to hear their apologies. I want them to wise up or stop voting all together. If they are so easily misled then they would be doing us all a favor if they stayed home on election day.
