I love America
Yes, I love this country that I call my home.
But Americans, on the other hand...
Right before midnight on Election Day, it looks like the popular vote is going for Bush. The rest of the world is aghast and horrified that we would vote for him, and the feeling around the world is that Americans are selfish, hateful people who, in fact, are proud of being the bully of the world.
We, as Americans, had better be prepared for the horrifying backlash that will occur. I'm angry at everyone that voted for Bush, ignoring the fact that the infastructure of the country is rapidly deteriorating.
I don't think the terrorists are going to pick and choose who voted for Bush or Kerry. I'm as likely to die in the next attack as a Republican. I am disgusted that people that voted for Bush would put me in that danger zone; that I can't travel the world with any degree of safety because I'm an American. Every one that voted to reelect Bush has potentially put me at risk.
I should have held my conviction and voted Socialist...every vote for a third party makes a real difference, and Kerry has already lost Florida.
I'd pray for Ohio but that sort of prayer doesn't work. I'm sure God has heard the prayers of enough misguided Christians to stay out of it completely.
