Election Night Parties

It's still too early to tell who will win, the bullshit media has made visibility impossible. I mean how will the anchormen and little katie tell who wins with their faces wedged so far up donkey butt.
Ironballs is right. What is most evident in this election is the propensity for a mass of people to go gaga over a personality. I've always been conservative, but I was always willing to point out Bush's mistakes and his strong points (we haven't been attacked since 9/11). And I never had the urge to go to a large rally and act like I'm in an evangelical seminar with the speaker talking about trickle down economics.

Obama nuts are acting like this is the second coming. As if they will wake up tomorrow with superpowers that will help them leap tall buildings and balance their check books. I am always suspicious when a large mass of people is acting too much in unison, be it in a mosh pit or a masonic temple.

No, who ever wins tomorrow will be the politial leader of our nation not it's salvation. Salvation comes from within, or in this case, from the people.

Either case, let's hope people don't get too caught up in hysteria. There is always a man behind the curtain somewhere with very human weaknesses and tendencies.

Ok I'll play the "devil's" advocate here, since you bring up the point about Bush as the "worst" and the "dumbest".
First off the "dumbest". Bush graduated Yale and Harvard with degrees, he can fly an F-102, speaks Spanish and has been elected President TWICE. A feat that the genius Gore couldn't manage nor the genius Kerry (who had lower grades than Bush at Yale by the way). No the "dumb" ploy is the liberal journalism/media majors talking because they didn't have the balls to take a hard job and wanted to impress mommy and daddy with their submission to the New Yorker or the NYTimes. It is a predictable and, by now , quite boring, process that perpetuates itself amongst the media elite. Bash the Christian Republican, but don't have the gonads to say a single word against all mighty Allah, whose followers are at this moment at war with Christian, Jew, Bhuddist, Hindu and Muslim alike. The hypocrisy and vanity would sicken me if it weren't such a painfully obviously ploy by schmucks looking to be down with the party. In short, the writings and musings of poseurs.

Now about the "worst" part.

-we have not been attacked by our enemies since 9/11. that's a good thing. and it is not a coincidence. we were attacked an average of every 1.5 years under Clinton; the 1993 WTC bombing, the Tanzanian bombing, the Kenyan bombing, the ambush in Somalia, The USS Cole, Khobar towers bombing, etc.

-if our economy is in such bad shape today what shape was it in two or three years ago? this dichotomy really kills me. on the one hand liberals say we have the worst economy today. on the other they say we had the worst econonomy for the past eight years. you can't have both. you cannot go from the worst econonomy to the worst economy. still they dissemble.

no, the truth is that we had 7 straight years of economic expansion under bush. yes GDP grew for the past 24 quarters before this last quarter at -.3%.

-on economic aid to the poor, bush gave more money to the poor in his first 5 years than Clinton did in his entire 8. not a misprint, look it up. what the "poor" did with it, is beyond me. that's the facts jack.no president has given more to the "poor"

-bush has given billions in economic assistance to Africa for AIDS prevention/research. for you bleeding hearts, this isn't enough. but madonna gives a few thousand and hijacks a kid from his family in Africa and she's the woman of the year, same for angelina and the rest of the hollywood vermin.

-Bush has brought freedom to millions of women in Iraq and Afghanistan. the rape rooms and public torture are a thing of the past in Iraq which is rapidly consolidating it's united forces as a democratic nation; that's a good thing.It still galls me to think of the women hypocrites who bash bush at will while their sisters in the middle east thank him for releasing them from being thought of as chattel. And don't even go there about abu gharib, I've seen worse at a Robert Mapplethorpe exhibit.

-Bush has decimated al quaeda forces; that's a good thing. and if you don't believe Iraq is the center of the war on terror, you don't believe bin liden, because he said so himself. that is, the last time he dared venture from the hole he's in.

-Bush and US forces have brought democratic government to Afghanistan as well, the taliban is still there, no doubt, but they are in hiding along the border with Pakistan. No one said the war would be easy. of course, you liberals feel that just walking away will suffice, that is until you wake up one fine morning in September and find your city burning. how soon we forget.

-average unemployment under Bush has been hovering at 5% or less, yes that's better than under Clinton and that is the theoretical low point.(ie, you can't get lower)

Now, compare that record to Clinton without the lib goggles on. Bush's legacy, if seen through, will be the establishment of several new democratic nations around the globe and the defeat of radical islam. IF it is seen through. Clinton's legacy is still his claim to a good economy but most agree that he benefitted from the economic reforms set in place by Reagan years earlier. In short, clinton is still searching for a lasting legacy. Bush's will be evident if our next president doesn't opt for the place-head-in-sand variety of foreign policy. If that is the case, Bush's legacy will be that of a leader who saw the barbarians approaching without, but was ultimately defeated from the decay within.
