Grooaann!!!
Four more long years...
My reaction can be summed up as follows:
Here's my call on the election results: the ignorant masses have elected an ignorant leader. This surely is the triumph of ignorance over truth, backwardness over progressiveness, ignobility over nobleness!
What direction will this great country go for the next four years? The answer can only be: backwards!
Anyway, history will make its own judgments, and, in my opinion, history has already made its judgment on George W. Bush!

Only exercising my right to free expression, bud! You got a problem with that?
Or is one of the items on the Republican agenda the revocation of the right to free speech?
I know... it's wartime, and we all have to shut up, fall in line and follow the leader as he leads us like lemmings over a cliff!
All I'm saying is that this is a sad day in America!

Does anyone doubt that darkhorse is Django?
Anyway, sunny, The deficits aren't the largest history. I've mentioned this to you before. You're ignoring inflation. Even so, the most sensible way to quantify the size of the deficit is to measure it relative to the size of the economy.
I don't know what the next four years will bring, but I expect it will bring increased stabilization in Afghanistan (which is quickly becoming an unbridled success), and (hopefully) stablization and successful elections in Iraq. I also expect we'll see continued economic growth comparable to the high level we've seen over the last 18 months.
All the rhetoric about moving backwards isn't really in line with the facts, especially economically. I don't suspect that'll stop Django: The Resurrection and others of his political persuasion from repeating it, though.

Hats off to you, Yoda--you and your kind have won the election! Fair means or foul, it doesn't much matter now! Still, like I said, history is a harsher judge than the American people--I'm pretty sure of that! And I seriously doubt that history will look back on G.W. with fond memories!
Anyway, I don't have to join in with the right-wing celebrations, do I? Unless I'm compelled, by the Patriot Act, to grin and bear it, I'd prefer to abstain!
Incidentally, what is "Django"?

But, I'm content to wait and see.

It's seems very far-fetched to me that history books 50 years from now talking about how horrible it was that we removed multiple tyrannical governments from power.

Will history remember him for the so-called liberation of two oppressed societies--Afghanistan and Iraq--or for the enslavement of one oppressed society--the United States?
Time will tell...

Sorry, but if your chief complaint about the war is based on the premature, unsubstantiated claim that the country will regress into dictatorship, then you really don't have any argument. I could just as well pretend that everything there will improve and be sunny and happy for ever and ever. I recognize, however, that the ultimate outcome is in doubt. I'm not going to join you in satiating a partisan desire with kneejerk declarations. It's simply too soon to judge the success or failure of the attempted democratization going on in Iraq.

I'm just as angry about the election as the next democrat is, but it is much better to try to be optimisitic about the future than bitch and whine about the past.

Or, think of it this way: if we were really "oppressed," you probably wouldn't be able to say so.

Try this for a change. How about you huddle under some rubble, counting the minutes until it's safe enough for you to go scrounge around looking for food, which you haven't had in 4 days.
Hopefully that will put things into perspective...
I am no fan of GW Bush, or the repubs, but it's uninformed attitudes like this that hurt the Dems every time. I notice a lack of things for them to blame this year. Hopefully they take a good long look at themselves and prepare for 2008...
