Still can't believe the victory, but have gotten over it.

A few points:

1) Whenever anyone says, "Values", simply put the word "My" in front of it.
Values are personal. I don't mind your values, whatever they are, just keep
them out of my face and off of my Constitution.

2) I'm not sure why Kerry lost, but it sure wasn't because he didn't have a plan.
Nobody has a plan for Iraq, it's a godawful mess. And it's Bush's baby. He has nowhere
to hide, and no excuses. When it goes to hell, hopefully America will make him pay. Hopefully.

3)The Republican gloating is pretty nauseating. I didn't gloat about the Red Sox. I was happy, and proud, but I didn't demand that anyone acknowledge me if they didn't want to. And have you noticed that they never have an argument? They give you their talking points-"it was about values", "dont change horses", "he was strong on terrorism", and when you challenge them-"whose values?"-"if incompetence is not a reason to change, what is?"-"how is failing to seal the borders or inspect the cargo being strong on terrorism?"-they always fall back on their imagined Kerry failings. Republicans don't want to discuss, and they never have any facts.

Conservatives are people who are angry that it isn't still 1954.

Argh.

Dammit. Dammit. I can't believe he won. I can't believe it. It is times like these that I cannot believe my fellow human beings. I cannot believe they don't see through this. I am ashamed of us. Yes, there were harsh criticisms of President Bush as well, but COME ON. This man is demonstrably ignorant, and proud of the fact. He doesn't read, and doesn't understand the "reality based community." If you're a woman, God help you. If you're a prisoner, God help you. And if you're in the military, God help you. This is a dark, dark day.
