American elections

Does anyone else agree that Kerry winning the election
might not be such a good thing?

America is, it seems to me, on a huge and uncontrollable
downward spiral - economically, socially and in terms of its
confidence and power.

The Bush administration's multitude of mistakes and
disastrous decisions will shape the future of the country
(and the world) for decades to come. The shit still hasn't
hit the fan.

Would it be a good thing for the shit to hit the fan whilst
the Democrats are in power? The Republicans could then blame
it all on the Democrats and, come the next election, get
voted back in.

America might then be stuck with the Republicans (and
conservatism) for decades.

The same thing happened in Britain. The Conservatives fucked
things up, Labour inherited their mistakes, the shit hit the
fan whilst Labour were in power, and we were stuck with a
Conservative government for fucking ages.

Fucking hell.

No, if anyone has learned anything, no one will vote for
Democrats or Republicans next time.

Seems to me that your concern is based on the idea that
people will idiotically blame the current leader for a
country's problems while ignoring the cause of these same
problems. If that's the case it doesn't matter who gets
elected. Republican or Democrat, his ass is out when, as you
say, 'the shit hits the fan'.

and more importantly, there is still that nasty shit
smothered all over the fan to deal with.

of course it not a very good thing, LOL but it doesn't
compare with bush winning.

You're right, that's exactly what I'm saying.....

....the party that wins this election is fucked and will
lose the next one, and won't be re-elected for decades.

It might therefore be better if Bush wins.....

You forget that this country was stupid enough to elect bush
the first time and MIGHT elect the boob again. You give us
entirely too much credit to think that we would let trivial
things like war or the economy influence or voting
decisions.

pay attention!

which is even worse. :(

Well there was the supreme court case...

yes.

that's the only reason you have the right to bare arms in
the first place. finally an instance comes round when it can
be used and the militia's look the other way. tss.

The right to bear arms was primarily for shooting English
bastards- This country has laws against using corporal
punishment on the mentally handicapped so Bush lucked out.

If blair weren't a bush-sucking whore that wouldv'e made a
difference. i wonder how he managed to make people believe
he had something to do with the labour party.

No, my friend. A few winnits (go to this site for a
definition of "winnit") might have passed through the blades
of the fan. But there are still several kilos of enormous
turds that have yet to reach it.

somebody call Alanis Morrisette, we finally found a real

a snowball effect has already taken place in america, and it
isn't going to cease because kerry gets elected. we might be
able to delay the inevitable, but this country is fucked in
the long run.
i'd almost rather see bush get reelected simply to see some
sort of counter culture movement take shape.
