Let's look on the bright side of the "Bush win"
Every thing that goes wrong,all of the mistakes made will be bush and his cronies fault,not our guy's. All we have to do is sit back and watch it happen. Just like the last 4 years. And we all know the next 4 years will be worse than the last. I'm not going to worry about a thing. It's all on bush's shoulders and believe me,I wouldn't want to have to deal with that fiasco he's made, since he stole the WH.The repukes can't shove the blame on our party because they OWN IT ALL! So......pop the popcorn and get ready for the show of our lifetimes.It's going to be like a Saturday Night Live skit. The only regrets I have is all the death and destruction that's going to continue,but hey.....they all voted for this moron and they will soon live to regret it,mark my words. :evilgrin:

Here's someone else with a similar opinion. What he said really encouraged and cheered me up. :)

I Hate to Say I Told You So...

...but I told you so!


Now here's the thing. I'm already hearing a few people getting depressed out there (as well as a few people who aren't getting depressed). But you see -- winning this election is the worst possible thing that could happen to George.

From now on, when something goes wrong, he can't blame Clinton or Daschle. He went from a 90% approval rating to just over 50% (and let's be honest, it was a lot less than 50%. Diebold machines weren't working right, votes were being suppressed. Watch foreign media for the real story in a few days, though American media won't mention it for another four years). Nothing else good will happen to the Bushites. The economy will continue to tank. Soldiers will continue to be slain in Iraq and Afghanistan. The draft will get started up. Scandal will continue to dog this administration, no matter how much the media tries to cover it up. The Plame Affair, Abu Ghraib, Gitmo, Halliburton, Enron, Diebold -- more and more revelations will come out about this stuff, and the citizenry will not react well to them. The next time there's a terrorist attack, people won't rally 'round Bush -- they'll say, "Wasn't this the guy who campaigned that he'd keep us safe?" Bush's approval ratings will drop farther and farther and farther, and more and more people will start saying, "I wish I'd voted for Kerry."

I think, in two years, that Bush is going to lose both the Senate and the House. After that, I think he'll be impeached before the next election. By 2008, the GOP will be lucky if they can get a candidate who'll get 30% of the vote, and it'll be another two decades before they'll be able to convince the electorate to give them the White House again. Bush and this current incarnation of the GOP will be viewed as little better than the Dixiecrats -- wrong about everything and abandoned on the ashheap of history.

Take it from a certified prophet: we're going to enjoy the next four years.


The next four years were going to be hard on anyone who won. Let it be hard on Bush.

14. That was good too......
but what is so annoying is that NOTHING sticks to this moron. The sheep just ignore all his mis-steps and mis-speaks as if it's a normal person. We're the only ones who seem to "get it". I'm hoping they do too,someday soon. :hi:

21. True, nothing seems to stick, but there's one thing to remember
About 53 million Americans went out yesterday and stood in line for hours and hours because they can't stand the silly SOB. So there's the sheep, and maybe they're baa-ing in triumph at the moment. There are also a hell of a lot of us.

5. Just like Nixon
You are right, I wasn't old enought to remember the 2nd Nixon election, but my SO says it feels the same way. He said he stood in line for hours to vote against him, but Nixon still won. Look what happened to him.

9. Not that it will stop them
But the next bad thing that happens, that they kneejerk pin on Clinton, will have me smashing things. (And I have big hammers to smash with)

10. That's what we need to all be thinking now.
Everyone's looking at this like we "lost it all." But if we had won, we certainly would not have "won it all" because Kerry would be blocked by two opposing houses and would be unable to do anything about Bush's mess. Furthermore he'd be blamed for it. I was strongly hoping for Bush to lose just because I hated him so much, but in the back of my mind, I knew that a Kerry presidency was not the answer. We would have needed a miracle president, one who's both charismatic and a genious (maybe Clark) to survive four years in this situation. As long as we can all find ways to dodge the draft, it may be better to let the disaster complete itself before there's any Dems it can be blamed on. And hopefully by the time the disaster's over, we'll have a new breed of Dems ready to fix America. Maybe even the Republicans will have shaped up.

12. Kerry would have been hunted and haunted
Edited on Wed Nov-03-04 06:39 PM by LibertyChick
blamed and reviled, thwarted and tortured constantly.

Now it is all on Bush.

All of it. I'm making popcorn and bringing the weenies.

Who wants to bring the beer?

19. That's exactly what I said 2 weeks ago if **** won.
Let the brainwashed, bible-thumping, gun-toting, rich and powerful have their ****. The media, Repubs in government, would have pounded on Kerry. Even though my first choice still would be to have Kerry as president I always felt Kerry does not deserve such treatment. So now Bush gets to deal with his mess. Let's see how many fans **** has throughout his next term.

I heard a guest speaker on Mitch Albom's show earlier stating that there has never been a 2-term president that has done well in their 2nd term - they've always done worse. First I don't want to imagine **** doing worse considering his first term has been so horrible and then I thought about FDR serving 4 terms so I don't know if that's true. Anyone else know anything about that?

11. Can America survive another 4 years? At what cost?
Imagine the apocalypse.... I'm going to live abroad preferably near the arctic circle.

13. Umm....weren't all the mistakes already Bush's?
Its not enough that Bush steps in shit. Dems have to convince people to care. EG, we knew Iraq was a major debacle. Everyone knew that Cheney's declarations that the war was "brilliant" was a howling lie, and I include republicans. They just didn't care so much. And that means that simply watching our predictions about the next four years come true will not be enough.

15. What mistakes?
I've never heard him admit anything amid the continuous stream of accusations. He has a lock on avoiding responsibility, he's unaccountable for every enormous screw up he's gotten us into. With an even stronger base and house, I don't see the likelihood that we'll see any changes in his disastrous, but blameless policy.

What I'm afraid of is that he got re-elected in spite of perhaps the worst presidency in American history. What could he possibly do worse that would make people realize what they've gotten us into?

17. Let it all burn. Bring on Armageddon. I've got marshmallows.
I can't wait to watch it all fall apart. How sick is that?

That's when we have another shot at taking back the Senate, I'm already planning on working against Santorum in 2006.

20. Not only that
knowing that the rethugs are going to ram through every piece of legislation they want may actually give some of our more spineless democratic bretheren in congress the balls to actually cast principalled votes - they got nothing to lose. I think for every crappy piece of legislation that is put forward by the rethugs the dems should call a press conference, blast away, vote like they are beholdin to nobody, and then step back and watch the mess come a tumblin down. :evilgrin:
