Morality?!!!

Once again the ignorant, blind, illiterate rabble has spoken. According to the exit polls, the American herd decided that it all came down to "morality." Morality? So what you're telling me is that whether Steve and Michael have a piece of paper from the state giving them the benefits of a married couple is more important than whether the President of the United States and his henchmen, with malice aforethought, dragged this country into an unjust war against a country which had not attacked us, threatened us or mistreated any of our citizens. Come on, weapons of mass destruction, give me a break. If that's going to be the new reason for invading countries, shouldn't Israel have been first? This president gives new meaning to the word immoral.

It amazes me that they have linked support for this idiot to whether someone is patriotic or not. Aren't you tired of seeing metallic ribbons on the back of cars, (we support our troops AND our president). Give me a damn break!!! What does supporting those poor bastards who were thrown into another war with no exit strategy have to with supporting the ignoramus occupying the White House. Nothing as far as I can see. Because I support our troops I voted to remove that enemy to world peace from the body politic. If morality was going to be the gauge we should be preparing for the presidency of John (F-ing)Kerry. Do I want a president who is worried about the potential life of a stem cell, or one that cares about the lives of the millions with Parkinson' disease. Do I want a president who is worried about the imagined threat of Sadaam Hussein, or one who is worried about the real threat of North Korea who sold Sadaam the weapons in the first place (we won't talk about who made sure that they could afford them throughout the entire decade of the 80's). Do I want a president who cannot admit he makes a mistake or do I want one that reassesses his actions, finds the mistakes and corrects them.

If you were one of the fifty-two million plus who voted for Kerry, do NOT go gentle into that good night. We paid the price to bitch and moan. We paid the price of voting, so we can hold these idiots feet to the fire. Push every new revelation of dishonesty into the faces of the idiots that returned this fool to office. No weapons of mass destruction, no real democracy in Iraq (given half a chance they would become another Islamic state just like Iran), and no pull out of American troops in the foreseeable future, since the criteria is peace before pull out.

Bush and his ilk subscribe to the "Rule of Steel", might makes right. What a dangerous philosophy when you're the most powerful bully on the block. Is this the country that stands for right? Is this the country who is to be the shinging light of democracy and freedom? Does this president and the policies he spreads around the world represent you? Do you support the patriarchal, 19th century view that the United States alone should decide whats right for other countries, who should get freedom and democracy and when?

I know that most of the American herd wouldn't know an issue if it stood in front of them and danced the Lambada. This is the reason for, "I voted based on morality." A better answer would have been, "I don't know why in the hell i voted for the idiot, but I listened to the commercials and they sounded nice." I only hope that I can calm down when I'm thousands of miles away next year. Given a moment or two, I might calm down enough to find the humor in all this. But I don't think it will be tomorrow or the next day.
