"They don't because they know they wouldn't get away with it, but if they are given the chance they will." No evidence here at all. "Add the closeness of the popular vote with the closeness of the EC votes and again I'm confused why people outside the US thought this was a blowout." I would mainly say it's because the so called 'experts" in the US would say it was ahandily won popular vote for Bush. No one said it was a blow out. Don't put words in our posts. We said he won the PV in a no doubter. That's different than a blow out. A blow out would be like 60-40 percentage wise or greater. Tsk, tsk.

"Clinton won 370-168 over Bush Sr. and 379-159 over Dole. Heck Bush Sr

Vincent, the Taliban were more than just about using Religion to rule. Much more. Perhaps, you should do some research on them.

"If bush gets his way he will turn this into a american taliban." Hahahahaha! You know nothing about the Taliban.

"Well, there is nothing that the average middle to lower class citizen" Funny that that's whrre Bush got a lot of his vote..

"The US may deserve Bush, but the rest of the world does not." Yes, they do. Afterall, their anti Amerika stance, probably helped get him re-elected by as large a margin as he did.

"Nothing shows that Bush will try to unite America though" Why should he? The Demos don't want a united Amerika.

"the economy sinks even lower" It's improving as we speak. "foreign relations with other countries become more polarized." Good. The rest of the world wants the US to be enslaved to their wants,a nd desires. They need a big FU. "I am expecting the next 4 years to be the worse ever in US history" Yeah, because the time of slavery was sooooooooooooooo much better.

"You mean like the US 2000 election?" Yes. I guess you are one of those who like to assume I *wanted* Bush to win in 2000. I didn't. I wanted Gore to win. And, I thought then as i think now that the EC is a silly way to do things.

"Maybe in the Kanadian education system, Volourn" WOWSERS! I'd say no duh; but that be redudant. What? Did you think i'd go by a system where one can get more people to vote for them and still lost the election. R00fles!

"Actually I do care abouot other people. More than 20,000 people lost their jobs in the last 3 and a half years due to plant closings." Ok. You are a bigot than and only care about people in your state or in plants. "LOL! Easily? Easily is something like 61% to 39% not a 3% point difference." Duh. In Amerikan election terms, it was an easy win. Even a "popular" president like Clinton couldn't get that amount of votes or percentage. So, yeah, it was easy. "Remember, he is a person who thinks that 75% is a good score." It's a solid B - B+.

"Not where I live and where I live matters to me. Just because it improved in a back alley of Seattle doesn't mean it improved here in the Midwest. All I see are plant closings." LOL Fair enough. At leats you admit to your selfishness. Never say again that you actually care about other people... just how things effect you.

"Bush 58,286,937 %51 Kerry 54,766,544 %48 Crushed? Looks pretty close to me. People were saying yesterday, whoever wins, half of the country is going to be pissed off. And considering it's almost split evenly down the middle, it looks like that will be the case." Yes, crushed. Bush has EASILY won the popualr vote. It was no contest. "There have been many Americans since 9/11 killed by terrorists. Just because they haven't happen on US soil doesn't lessen them any." Yes, in other countries. Most likely ebcause the terrorists are havinbg a much ahrder time cause havoc inside the states. Of course, that's not to rule out possible atatcks in the US within the enxt 4 years. Afterall, the US is a *huge* country so it wouldn't be that difficult to do some sort of attack. "The economy has improved?" Yes, in the last year or so it has improved.

"increased terrorist attacks." Funny. There have been zero terrorist attacks in the US since 9/11. WOWSERS! "the economy will continue to wrosen" You state that in spite of the fact that the economy has steaily improved over the last year. People seem to have udnerestimated the effect of 9/11 on the economy. WOWSERS! "more jobs will get outsourced" Tough. If Amerikans can't do the job; that's their problem. beside,s it wouldn't be different under Kerry. This has been trend for YEARS. Nothing new under Bush. "we will get more Christian themed legislature passed" And?

I notice lots of people don't believe in deomcracy in this thread. Bottom line is even tkaing the EC aside, Bush has literally crushed Kerry in the Popualr Vote. The first president since his father to have 50%+ of the Popular Vote, and one of the highest percentages in a long while. The problem with non Amerikans is they expected Amerikans to vote on their behalf and demanded it so. Quite frankly the world knows nothing about Amerika. I also find it funny that people try to imply that only stupid people vote for Bush. I call bullcrap.

"Here's to four more years of Theocratic Dictatorship and the New Crusades. And don't no one blame lil' old me for this sh!t, I mised the fcuking vote by less than a year." better that than missing it because of a silly imaginary line!

"Why would the world want to run the president ?" LOL Besides my poor wording, you knew what I meant.

"vote KERRY!!!!!!! unless you want 4 more years of debt and war mongering." Vote BUSH! Unless you want the World to Run the USA Instead of the President!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"True, urging people to vote is a filthy democrat trick. Because if everyone voted in the US, Bush would stand no chance." Proof? The population seems to be pretty uch split so I doubt that would change by any significant margin.

"Refresh my memory on what we've done for the Sudan?" I see. Unless the US helps out every single one of the 100+ countries in the world; they will be considered uncaring. R00fles!

"I agree with most of the above except the last comment, about the USA, we support hundreds of countries with "foreign aid"" Shh.. Unlike the Pure Countries In The World (Everyone But The US and Isreal); the US doesn't care about other countries and have never done anything for them.

Meh. We'll see if it holds. there's been like 10 new Supermans casted, like K said there's more than one directord, they have been rumoured to have at least half a dozen Loises. There's been multiple scripts. I just hope when the mess is cleared we get at least a watchable movie out of it.

"this will go over your head if you don't follow Junior hockey) " I don't. I only know where the the Centennial Arena was/is 'cause I used to live by it!

"then the curse" there is no curse. The RS haven't won for this long 'cause they haven't been good enough. If they win this year it's because they were. Period.

"What the hell are you talking about? The most arrogant?!!? They dont deserve a championship after like 80 years?! How so?" Have you been paying attention? All Boston has been saying is how they are the Chosen Ones tm., how much better they are they everyone, how the Yankees suck and wer elucky to win the Division (how a team an be considered lucky after being the best in their division after 162 games is just ludicrous), how they were guaranteed to win easily. Sorry, they are the epitome of Arrogance. And, the fact that they haven't won in a whole bunch of years doens't give them the entitlement. That's retarded. they ahven't won because they haven't been the best team. if they win this year; it's because they were the best. Either way, their arorgance proves that personality wise, they don't deserve it though talent wise they just might.
