Senator John Kerry is giving his concession speech. It's official, four more years of uncertainty, war, economic troubles, rich people getting richer, poor people getting poorer, basic rights being taken away because the religious right doesn't believe in it, people continuing to suffer because stem cell research cannot be done, a country divided, young people dying in a war that doesn't pertain to us, on and on and on.
I am proud the amount of young people that came out to vote, but I wish many of them made the decision because they wanted their candidate and not their parents.
With the percentage of popular votes and the electoral college, it is proof of how divided our country is.
Doesn't it scare you when people outside of our country are scared for us? I met a man from England yesterday and he said people across the seas think Americans are idiots for supporting George Bush. They are watching the elections just as closely as we are and they are genuinely afraid.
Does it bother anyone that we are led in this war by only one person that has actually served in the Military? I was listening to NPR and they talked about the military records of key Democrats and key Republicans and the D's outweigh the R's. The R's only have Colin Powell, everyone else was able to avoid military service...must be nice to have money.
Okay, so I guess we have to come together as a country and fight for what we believe in. We have a leader that half the country doesn't want, but we have to live with it.
2008 - Hilary Clinton/Barack Obama???????
