Well don’t sweat it. Bush is gone. Now we got Barack H. Obama for comfort.

You have lived in a dream all your life. Most of the world has hated americans since WW II. They thaught they alone won the war and expected all other people to scrape and bow to them. as all the rest of the world knows the American’s message to the world is “Do as we say or we will bomb you till you do”.

Umm…you don’t “need documents” to move around the country. What restrictions are you talking about? Right, I thought so. There aren’t any.

America, like any other country, has done things worth repenting for. But if you think somehow this is new, you need to read some history. Detention of Japanese Americans during World War II, suspension of habeus corpus during the civil war. Those were real violations of rights of Americans. We’ve seen *nothing* like that over the last seven years. So calm down, the world is not ending, and America remains the freest, most open country in the world, no matter what other countries might think of us.

I voted for him the 2nd time, but mainly because the alternative was dreadful. It was the lesser of two evils, and I honestly don’t think the horse-faced Kerry would have mucked it up any less that GWB. You’re absolutely right, though. I hate the way America is viewed by the rest of the world, now. We used to be the good guys, or so I thought. It’s embarassing. I support our troops, and I love my country, but I hate that we’re the bad guys now.

we in Europe wait for the day our american friends get rid of the christian neo conservatism Bush and his gang brought to the world. We in Europe still believe in you. We still want to unite with Americans in making this world a better place. Yes there is critism towards you guys but friends do that when they see their friends making huge mistakes. It will work out right. Someday…

I’m on the other side of this, sort of.

I’m the only one I know who saw any of this coming, so it’s not like it was everyone but you and I wouldn’t be too embarrassed. I told my then manager that I couldn’t vote for George Bush because he was going to take us to war somehow.

She told me I was crazy.

Then he took us to war somehow both against the purportedly responsible parties for 9-11 and for reasons publicly unknown against Iraq.

To this day, I don’t know what I knew or how, but I was absolutely convinced since well before the 2000 election. It baffles the crap out of me still.

My reasons for not voting for him are a little different than your regrets but they’re linked so closely.

And remember that McCarthy told us, way back when in ’69 or so, that when it was technologically feasible that there would be a manufactured war in the Middle East used as an excuse to crack down on our liberties. This has been a long time coming and subtle as hell.

I didn’t, but I understand why people did — both times.

I’d like to go back, as well. I’m not sure that we can. But wanting to is a start.

Don’t feel guilty about voting for him, unfortunately the election process is tainted and there just aren’t any good candidates out there to fill the office of president. It could have happened the same way with Gore, or even something worse. I am just praying that our next president will be able to restore some sanity in the White House.
