GOP'ed

I have to say watching the election coverage is like watching the Superbowl. The only difference is we don't drink or dip chips in salsa. In fact, this time we drowned ourselves in tears.

The CNN headlines read, "America has Spoken". It sure has, but not in the right manner. After a dismal 4 years from our Commander-in-Chief who lost the popular vote, he actually gained ground and somehow defeated his opponent by more than 3.5 million votes. Bush was given the opportunity to unite a country after 2000, and he has squandered every opportunity in this regard. Furthermore, our deficits have skyrocketed and we are now left with trying to deal with the mess in Iraq. In recent years this is probably a victory by an incumbent who has done every conceivable act to rid himself of another term, but somehow won in convincing fashion. In all likelihood, the high turnout actually favored Bush, and not Kerry.

Furthermore, the GOP has gained seats in both the House and Senate, giving W an easier second term. With all the mistakes the GOP has made, how America voted strongly for them is just beyond belief. All Hail, redneck agenda!!!

There are questions about conspiracy theory, such as rigged touch-screen machines, and optical scanners. While there is a possibility, the margin of 3.5 million popular votes rendered these questions little merit. Clearly middle America has a much different opinion from urban America as exemplified by the electoral votes won by Kerry.

Wake up and smell the coffee middle America - better yet, make sure it's a triple shot because you need it!
