Oops we did it again.
Ok, America I was really understanding about this the first time. I figured a bunch of us just got drunk in 2000 and voted for George Bush as a goof. I imagined some people woke up the next morning with a hangover and were like "He fucking won?". I thought it might be the elusive proof to the "drunk white guy" theorum proposed by Eddie Murphy in Delirious. No such luck, we did it again. I don't mean to insult the president, or suggest he's not qualified to hold any office. If he were up for County Dog Catcher, I would cast a vote for him without hesitation. But come on, This is President of the United States of America. For god's sake this is the same job that Franklin Roosevelt and Abe Lincoln had. Also: Chester A. Arthur. You don't just give this job to whomever happens to be hanging out on Main Street at 7am when the Presidentin' truck rolls by.
Now, I'm already beginning to see people second guess John Kerry. Some say "Kerry should never have said he didn't hate fags, that cost him the election", or "Kerry should have had Teresa's tongue cut out, can't let women be all speaking and shit" or "Whaaaaaa! Whaaaaa! I'm a baby I'm moving to Canada! Whaaaaaaaa! Whaaaaaa!". Jesus Christ what a bunch of fucking pussies. Democrats mobilized like never before, and got the vote the fuck out. 10 million More people voted for Kerry than ever voted for Clinton. Kerry even got more votes than Reagan did in 1984. Ok, so there's a minor snag, George W. Bush got even more votes than that. That sucks, but recall that Bush had a 90% approval rating after 9/11. Now he has a 48% GET THE FUCK OUT rating. And we are in the middle of like 6 wars or something.
We got served. It happens. It's not the "End of the Democratic Party" nor is it the "End of America". We've had some horrible presidents. George Washington kept over 300 slaves. Andrew Jackson would bathe in the blood of Native American babies to preserve his black heart. Having a complete fucking asshole run the country is nothing new. The last thing anyone should be considering is pandering to a bunch of bible thumping lunatics with anti-gay or anti abortion rhetoric in order to win in 2008. The idea is to reduce the bullshit people, not to become a part of it.
