My in-laws family are staunch Democrats, but this election they voted for Bush because in the words of my FIL "I couldn't find anything I liked about Kerry or what the Democrats were offering". You could have knocked us down with a feather. Then my MIL told us the same thing (my in-laws are divorced). You can bitch, bemoan, act like chicken little, vent, whine and complain all you want wrbby but the fact reamins the Democrats lost this election more than the GOP won it and if they don't change their tactics they are screwed. Wrbby man your to good of a guy, sour grapes don't suit ya. 
LOL. Well what I meant by that is many of the words and phrases you were writing seemed to practically be copied/pasted from CNN talking heads. I haven't been watching the TV, but I've had it on all day (just as kinda background ambient noise) and listening, and they've been saying the same exact thing all day over and over again.
But yeah,.. it's not sour grapes Major. I accept that Bush won this election. He won it by 3.5 million votes soundly. And that's a loud and clear message. Too loud to ignore. And when I look at the candidate and I look at the people who voted for him (based on the final exit poll numbers), I can start to see a greater picture of what is happening in this country. Why it's happening I have no clue. But it is and I don't think it's going away anytime soon. And it bothers me because I can see America taking a new shape that I don't think the founding fathers ever wanted. They knew this was/is a fragile country. If you look closely, this country has a large sticker on it that says "handle with care". But now there are cracks forming and I am anticipating that better days are now something we do not have the luxury of looking forward to. Should I sit around worrying about this all day? No. Is it going to help for me to complain about it? No. But I have a first amendment right to say what I want, and until that gets shut down,.. I will excersize that right.

OK we need more positive things about the next 4 years.

If YOU are a bounty hunter ala Boba Fette, there is still a reward out for Osama Bin Laden.
Now is the time to cash in. I think there's a 12 million reward last time I heard.
All you gotta do is get him, and boom, you're an instant millionaire overnight. Next all you gotta do is start a multi-national death corporation with that money and you've got the hat-trick.
Bush is now your man.

they'll probably make a new set of those death cards with all the most wanted terrorists/iraqi leaders on them.
So if you've got the origional set it goes up in value...
And a new set means you can play 2 games of solitaire at the same time.
Or you and your female wife (as required by the constitution) can play card games together or solitaire side by side in your bunker/fallout shelter. 
(was that one a stretch? )

You're fired up aren't you? Well, it's all right to take this all personal, but if you believe in democracy and the power of the vote, then you should accept the fact that the heartland of America did indeed speak out. And, that IS America, too. In fact, so important that the rest of the world right now, as well as their fellow Americans are trying to figure them out.
So, who would have thought that VALUES would have been the most important point of this election.
With teh clams approval , I will quote something important that the Major has already said:

Because that says it all.

Democrats
Dont let your party nominate Kennedy wannabe's. Get some fresh blood from somewhere else in the country. Get someone that relates to the common voter, one that the common voter can relate too.
Find a canidate that does more than tell us what they think we want to hear. Quit assuming that middle America is dumb. That is not why they voted Bush back, they voted Bush back because they saw through Kerry.
Get a real canidate and watch things change.
Dont get me wrong, this is not a slam. Kerry is a good guy, but not for the presidency. He got my attention, but did not hold it because he did not back what he said.
Quit whining about what happened legit for once, and look to changing it. But start in your own party.
