It really doesn't surprise me that it was Ohio of all places that decided this election.
I lived in Ohio for seven or so odd years, and I will be the first to tell you that with very few exceptions, the accepted trend is to be dull, thoughtless, and appreciative of the status quo, especially if the status quo has something to do with furthering the Christian church.
I mean shit. This was serious, Ohio, and you completely BLEW it. You totally fucked over the entire world by voting for Bush. Pat yourself on the back you damned fools.
I people would just learn that church is not going to save the world.
Thinking it over, the fact that Ohio was so closely split lends them some credibility. Apparently there is half of the population there who doesn't suck ass, one half that does, and sucks it a little bit harder than the other half does not.
I'm really tired of talking about the whole deal. We'll make it through, we always do. It's not in Bush's hands whether we get attacked again because we can't reverse our vicious foreign policy in 4 years. Kerry wouldn't have been able to do it either. What will be will be, and we'll just have to remember to keep our alarmingly conservative government in check.
All I can hope for now is for Bush to make some gross moral error that even the church can't look past. Then all those dimwits who voted for Bush for his "moral stance" (aka, his religious fanaticism) can choke to death on their own ill-borne conceptions. After all, he used to be a coke addict alcoholic before "accepting the love of our Lord Jesus Christ into his imperfect mortal heart." With any luck he'll fall off the wagon and be found in the oval office with his face in a bowl of freshly seized Columbian cocaine.

230,000 jobs were lost under Bush...yet he still wins it.
But regardless...I hate the electoral college concept, so in my eyes Bush won by 3 million+ votes, so I don't blame any particular state. I blame religious motherfuckers and the Democrats inability to find a good candidate.
And you just know...Hillary is already getting ready for 2008..

So yea, the election kinda goes like this....
We are in a football game, we are down by 1 point with only enough time for one more play. We are on the 20 yard line and only need a field goal to win. The kicker misses.
Now, is it the kickers fault we lost? NO, it's the whole damn team for sucking.
Now, I'm happy that Bush won, and if you are going to blame Ohio, blame the other states that went red, becuase with out them, Bush wouldn't have had a chance.
take er easy dude,
and git-r-done.
P.S.
For what it's worth....
I would have voted for Wesly Clarke, or maybe even Howard Dean... but for some reason the Dems picked Kerry.
I think Kerry supporters were voting just becuase of their hate for Bush, not for their love of Kerry. If they had picked a better canidate I'm sure the election would have gone the other way.
Just 2 more cents worth... which makes 4 cents I've added to this topic
