I was disgusted but not surprised. Regarding Jim Lad's comments - okay valid point Bush did get a lot of votes in both elections, and that is not a good reflection of our society, but I am still convinced that there was foul play involved in both the elections. Now if the margins hadn't been very slim there would have been no possibility of manipulating the voting results so that the bad guys would win, but I don't believe everything was on the up and up. It IS a shame that so many of my compatriots believed the fearmongering and thought we needed a "tough guy" to protect us - bought into the "get them before they get us" mentality. I was so sure that he wouldn't win a second term and when I found out the election results I felt like someone had kicked me in the stomach.

This administration has divided Americans in a way that I haven't seen before - even in the days of the Vietnam protests. God I hope the pendulum swings in the other direction for the next elections.
