What My Friends Say About The Election
Tuesday November 02nd 2004
I'm having difficulty expressing my opinion about the 2004 Presidential Election. Whatever coherent and rational thoughts I might have are blurred and overrun with anger, depression, shock, disappointment, fear, regret, astonishment, embarrassment, and shame. So I'll let some friends of mine speak for me:
What a national embarrassment. And I thought Reagan was humiliating. At least he was presidential. This guy is a change-jingling, pants-hitching, Haggar-wearing, Bryclream-oozing, mouth breathing, knuckle dragging, slack jawed, sneering, spoiled, illiterate frat boy who goes to church every Sunday so he can get seen by people he wants to sell used cars to on Monday. A soulless white guy from Texas who has lied his way out of every problem his irresponsibility and stupidity have created. And he's our representative to the world. God help us.
Yep, that's pretty much how I feel too. And then here's this, from another friend:
I feel so sick right now with worry and anxiety i think i might puke. did you guys hear the interview where the house leader said the absolute next thing on their agenda is abortion and they are now unstoppable. i am almost crying i am so sad. the next four years are going to suck suck suck.
i hope all the people who voted for bush get unexpectedly pregnant and can see what it is like...
god. i am so mad.
i am so mad.
i am filled to overflowing with hate and self- righteousness and a complete inability to see why anyone supports bush who has any education at all.
i am embarrassed to be an american today.
*sigh*
