Kerry is right to concede

[malatesta1137]

This country is lost to stupidity and evil. Americans like war, they like to show the rest of the wold who's boss, who can get away with committing genocide and remain in absolute power.

Kerry is too smart to realize that the country is not ready to have a smart, intelligent, progressive, anti-war, gay-accepting candidate at this point.

Mr. Kerry, thank you for your efforts.

1. Bush may bring another Depression and then that will...

wake Americans up to reality

[Mr_Spock]

2. * IS a depresssion.

There is nothing but hate in his heart and nothing good can come from that.

4. well, we are already on our way down the stovepipe with

record spending and deficits and handouts to his cronies ...the buttplunger is on its way.

9. No it won't

they'd rather be piss-poor than let two guys get married.

11. No -- history shows that political change is most likely to be sparked by

hope, rather than despair.

Things may well get worse, but that won't help us one bit.

3. Americans have done this before

They get themselves into a shit pile and somehow we always seem to get ourselves back on track. We have to keep the under currents moving, things will break apart, then the time will come to rebuild.

[NVMojo]

5. actually you are probably right...

someone I know who studies Mayan calendars,etc. says we are in a decade or two of the gridlocking of all governments and bureaucracies as we know it, it will all implode and need to be rebuilt. I just hope it won't take a civil war to do this.

6. I hope * screws things up so bad that Repuke Party destroyed.

(I can dream, can't I?)

[robbedvoter]

7. yeah, but Gore was wrong to fight so little. Stolen fair and square.

My vote was cancelled again - syphoned by a Diebold machine in one of the stupid states. And I am supposed to applaud kerry's respect for my right to vote? How will he have resisted the neocons pushing him to new wars? 12 hours , then, OK, you win? No big loss, I tell ya. We were screwed anyway.

[nodehopper]

8. rose glasses, silver lining...Kerry is a liar.

[DELUSIONAL]

10. I have to agree -- Edward came out last night and said that

they would fight for the votes to be counted.

Today Diebolt wins.

Who ever counts the vote and controls the count wins.

I almost feel that voting is meaningless -- probably an meaningless activity I will engage in -- because women fought hard for the right to vote. But I have no faith that my vote will be counted fairly.

We no longer live in a democracy -- and it is doubtful if we ever had a democracy in the first place.

This country was founded by and for rich white men -- and those principals are still alive today.
