Kerry calls bush to concede

[FoB_Ed]

check your news stations

[AudioRage]

*packs bags*

So how's Australia look this time of year?

[Kangy]

Dear America,

Shame on you.

Love,

The world.

[Kiva128]

Why would he concede before the votes were counted? I mean just because it's unlikely that he would lose doesn't mean he should just quit.

[Johan_Tayn]

what a great country!

To a post-religous Europe, we're weird, but we don't care because today is the National Gloat fest for Conservatives! Conservatives came won 4 additional seats in the senate, bumped off 5 Texan House reps, and most of all.. made a new record for popular vote!

USA IS THE BEST!

[Lil' Timmy]

Dear America,

Shame on you.

Love,

The world.;( some of us tried..

[Johan_Tayn]

Why would he concede before the votes were counted? I mean just because it's unlikely that he would lose doesn't mean he should just quit.
your sentence doesn't make sense to me, but that's probably just a typo.. We all make them.

Everyone, including Kerry, sees he has lost.

[Johan_Tayn]

;( some of us tried..
most of us won.

By about 3+ million.

:-D

[mayro]

If kerry hadent, since i live in ohio.... it would have sucked.

2 am they had some idiot rep on their from ohio... Starting up the correct way to count chads *doh florida*

i woulda liked kerry.

[AudioRage]

We did Tim Tim, But alas, the banjo playing rednecks beat us out ;(

[Johan_Tayn]

We did Tim Tim, But alas, the banjo playing rednecks beat us out ;(
Apparently we outnumber you. Probably the less prominent birth control rates among rednecks to blame. ;-)

[geekusa]

well at least we only got to put up with him for 4 more years, however by then considering what he has done to the US in the last four years, in the next four years with him running, the country will be in ruins by then. and yes i did vote kerry/edwards yesturday. too bad.

Around 3 million people disagree with you. ;-p

[AudioRage]

Leave it to a redneck to get the number wrong by about 55 Million.

[Steve]

We did Tim Tim, But alas, the banjo playing rednecks beat us out ;(
hey, i play the banjo, and i'm from louisiana (so some might call me a redneck). i take offense, sir, as i voted for Senator John F. Kerry!

[geekusa]

Around 3 million people disagree with you. ;-p
yes, and their all misinformed, were they blind by the way bush has handled iraq? he is doing a horrible job, everyday soldiers are dieing, and half of them died to find these so called WMDs. oh well. i got my gun, ready if anything breaks out when this is through.

[AudioRage]

hey, i play the banjo, and i'm from louisiana (so some might call me a redneck). i take offense, sir, as i voted for Senator John F. Kerry!
I'm just poking fun, Of course alot of banjo playing rednecks know how to read, so they must have voted for kerry! :P

[Johan_Tayn]

Bush by 3,435,203 so far..

:-D

[Johan_Tayn]

I think they would consider you misguided and indoctorinated by liberal music/media. But that's just their, and my, opinion.

[AudioRage]

So you're claiming that the media is spinning the war in iraq, that we did not go there to look for WMD's? That our servicemen are not dying?

Of course, and we never landed on the moon either.

[Steve]

I think they would consider you misguided and indoctorinated by liberal music/media. But that's just their, and my, opinion.
liberal MUSIC? wha huh?

[choppermech]

This is truly a great day for our Nation. God bless President Bush and God bless our troops. The best man for the job has definetly won.
As for Kerry, get some more Botox injections and better luck next time you waffling traitor.

[geekusa]

I think they would consider you misguided and indoctorinated by liberal music/media. But that's just their, and my, opinion.
misguided? so you're saying no soldiers died trying to find these WMDs and that they don't die almost every single day from some car bomb or other means? hmmm, nope you're the misguided one.

[Johan_Tayn]

liberal MUSIC? wha huh?
Eminem
P. Diddy
Bruce Springston
Madonna
etc.

Of course, and we never landed on the moon either.
1000+ troops have died so far to liberate 50 million Iraqis.

Excellent trade, by my math.

[Johan_Tayn]

This is truly a great day for our Nation. God bless President Bush and God bless our troops. The best man for the job has definetly won.

I hope that's sarcasm, I really do.

If Kerry had ever been a traitor to the US, he'd be executed, imprisoned or sent away to foreign shores, and would never stand a chance of running for President.

If you'd had one respectable argument in there, I might've found some respect for you.

[marksmanHL2 :)]

1000+ troops have died so far to liberate 50 million Iraqis.

If you get elections up and running on a regular basis with security for the country in place without more huge casulties then I will be hugely supprised.



Note, I am glad saddam has gone... but we really ****ed up the clean up operation.

that right there is why we are screwed its because of brain washed people like you. the bush campagn has spread so many lies and it takes ignorant people like this one to believe them obviously this one has bought everyone of them. you know i really do hope a civil war breaks out just so i can take some of you stupid fu*ks out.

[AudioRage]

I never said I was against the war itself, just the lies it was based on, and the way its been fought.

He Circumvented the United Nations, and we are paying for it with No plausible exit strategy. At all.

And what parts of Iraq are truely free? where do people not cower in their houses hoping that a stray RPG does not kill them and their family? How many Innocent Iraqi's have been killed by the might of the american air power? How many troops do have to die before you realize that this war is at the wrong time, under the wrong circumstances, and without the right support?

[choppermech]

misguided? so you're saying no soldiers died trying to find these WMDs and that they don't die almost every single day from some car bomb or other means? hmmm, nope you're the misguided one.
And you have all the answers? Ever serve one damn day in Iraq? How about Afghanistan? I have. I know what we've seen there and I know what our involvement meant to those oppressed people. Am I misguided, misinformed or brainwashed?? Hell No! I'm just a Soldier doing what most of you haven't the nerve to do. I do this to provide a better life for my family and now I know that for the next four years that will happen.

[Lil' Timmy]

no one ever accused americans of being thoughtful.

think what u want but lets not forget the money these musicians make by writing something about the elections.
there are musicians out there who do write about politics regardless of it being election time or not.. but these other musicians.. as much as they may believe in their choices, are in it for money as much as anything else.

WHO GIVES A SHIT WHAT THE CANDIDATE LOOKS LIKE AND ACTS LIKE.



You're voting for a frickin party here. Not just a candidate. Its getting me pissed off that people can't seem to see this.....


The republicans have ruined you're countries ecconomy, made America more enemies than ever before and ruined you're international relations (which btw, you will sorely miss one day).

And yet all you do is insult the oposition. Its depressing how little research you guys do before voteing. Seriously depressing.

[LAYP]

I don't like to be associated with those who oppose bush, they are overboard sometimes claiming he knew of 9/11 before it happened, think Micheal Moore is an intellectual person etc. Remember thats not all of you! Can you do that?

I think those who are for Bush however do have a clearer category.

1.Oppose Gay Marriage (don't see how its their frigging business)
2.Oppose Stem Cell Research (Kerry supports funding stem cell research, Bush opposes funding. Independent funders do exist but with proper funding cures could be found)
3. Are Protestant, Evangelists (born agains)
4. Are idiots (yes a lot of them are)

I am really depressed right now, yesterday Theo van Gogh was murdered because of his art (film making) and just know Kerry admits defeat.

That is exactly the way I feel, I don't like Bush and I didn't want him to win but I am no where near those people who are almost fanatically opposed to him. I can't stand those people.

*packs bags*

So how's Australia look this time of year?

bloody awesome mate, heading into summer, barbie season (though im up for one any time of the year).

come down we'll crack a few snags on the barbie and have a beer and forget all about your doomed country :)

[choppermech]

If you'd had one respectable argument in there, I might've found some respect for you.

He's a traitor to the men who served with him and he's a traitor to the men held in Hanoi after the Vietnam war. Kerry's statements were used as a device to continue to torture those brave POW's. He has continually lied about being in Cambodia. And he admitted to watching as American soldiers committed what he called war crimes and didn't do a thing about it until he sat in front of Congress in 1971.
I don't need your respect sir. I'm a husband and father, I have their respect. I am a Soldier, a leader of men and part of the greatest military in the world and we have each other's respect.

Remember though, Not all republicans are aginst stem cell research, in fact, here in california, the governator backed the largest stem cell research bill in the nation, it passed. thats $3 billion to stem cell research in the next 10 years, $300 Million starting in 2005.

[marksmanHL2 :)]

Jesus christ the world today is a depressing place.

[Johan_Tayn]

that right there is why we are screwed its because of brain washed people like you. the bush campagn has spread so many lies and it takes ignorant people like this one to believe them obviously this one has bought everyone of them. you know i really do hope a civil war breaks out just so i can take some of you stupid fu*ks out.
sore loser? :E

[Icarusintel]

I like how cnn.com is still holding on to their elecgtoral votes standing, even with the front page saying Kerry conceded to Bush, its as though they still hope Kerry will win

[Lil' Timmy]

I like how cnn.com is still holding on to their elecgtoral votes standing, even with the front page saying Kerry conceded to Bush, its as though they still hope Kerry will winit's because that's the current state of the electoral college.. ohio is not yet declared, regardless of whether kerry has conceeded or not. it's not that hard to understand. :|

[marksmanHL2 :)]

sore loser? :E


No one has won.

[gusolson]

Why, oh why, is it that so many people see anyone who dissagrees with them as an idiot? Is it inconceivable to you that there can be an honest disagreement between people who, though equally intelligent, come to different conclusions based on their different experiences? Must we resort to such nonsense as calling half the country "brain washed" just to explain how our own oppinions did not win out? This is not directed just at you, but at the general perception of people, on both sides, that they are right, and that everyone else is wrong. Politics works much better when there are people who are willing to work together to acheive something instead of holding on to their own party dogma and keeping the process of government from moving forward.

[AudioRage]

sore loser? :E
Its better then a sore winner, making snide comments after their cantidate has already won, and even making fun of their looks.

[lans]

Dear America,

Shame on you.

Love,

Quoted for emphasis.

[burnzie]

i only wish RATM were still around... the'd be making some good music with all this goin on...

[Johan_Tayn]

it's because that's the current state of the electoral college.. ohio is not yet declared, regardless of whether kerry has conceeded or not. it's not that hard to understand. :|
apparently you don't read the news.

OHIO
100% of Precincts Reporting
Bush 51% 2,794,346
Kerry 48% 2,658,125

NATIONAL
99% of Precincts Reporting
Bush 51% 58,527,956
Kerry 48% 54,992,753

[burnzie]

its that close? its probably rigged again...

[Johan_Tayn]

No one has won.
I'll say you might be right..

Just because Kerry has lost or surrendered or been paid off by the Republicans doesn't mean Bush wins.

There's still Nader, Badnarik, and that Mike P dude. :afro:

So, right.. Nobody's won..

[Lil' Timmy]

ohio is simply not declared, again, not a hard thing to get around your head. 100% of precients can report, but there's still a lot of outstanding votes (alternate ballots etc.) kerry could have conceeded a week ago, it still wouldn't have declared ohio for bush. why are you having trouble with this simple concept?

[TerminatorT850]

If The Whole World Had To Vote Of Us Elections 04, Kerry Would Definitely Had Won. The World Hates Bush, Come On!!!!! Thats A Fact

[Johan_Tayn]

its that close? its probably rigged again...
I wouldn't call a 136, 221 margin close. Close is Florida 2000 where Bush won by 500 or so votes.

And a margin of 3, 535, 203 votes ain't that close either. It's clear who America voted for the most.

[Johan_Tayn]

because he is pro-America and they are pro-them(which are two mutually exclusive things, sadly).

I knew the family of a Jet Fighter pilot.

He's dead now, and the family was, and still is devastated. All in the name of "freedoms" they didn't ask for. Nobody in Iraq associated with Saddam's regime was planning an attack on the US, nor were they funding it. There have been no WMDs of any functionality, either.

Going to war with Iraq is like sticking a needle full of black death into an open wound.

[AudioRage]

i only wish RATM were still around... the'd be making some good music with all this goin on...
Yeah, Damn right.

Although, we do have System of a down still..

Too bad Chris Cornell refuses to do Political songs.

a close second, but no cigar.

You know someone who is related to a Jet Force Pilot who died who wish he were alive.

Wow, does that seem like exploiting their grief.

And you have no proof of your statement that followed.

Not that any of this matters, because: Kerry Conceeded!

[^Ben]

Sore winner.

Get over it Bush won.

If the worls goes to the crapper we know who we are gonna bomb first.

[Lil' Timmy]

Sore winner.just ignore him. in fact, lets all just ignore each other.. we're already essentially doing it anyway.

[TerminatorT850]

THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING America. I'm NOT American but we, everybody AROUND THE WORLD is watching AMERICA. IF the WORLD was allowed to VOTE, John Kerry would definitely had WON coz the WORLD HATES BUSH. No offence but thats a FACT.
- World didn't support Iraq war, no WMDs to be found.
- American people demonstrated in D.C. & NYC & L.A.
- Whole world critisized Bush.
- Even Fahrenheit 9/11 was a blockbuster film.

Then, WTF are American people upto, in my country more than half of the populace HATES america, but I don't hate America, I hate Republicans, the one's representing & driving america. I try to convince people that Govt. is not representing people. People are not Blood, Oil thirsty. they are curteous, generous etc. Yes, Bush secured American people BUT at the cost of innocent Iraqi & Afghanistani people, the biggest PROOF? Watch Al Jazeera or Fahrenheit 9/11

But still, now Bush retains his post. I'm just hoping that he might change his policies. come on plzzzzz Bush, don't let world hate america. My friends bash me for my favor for US.
Shame on ME

[^Ben]

Well just under half of the country voted Kerry.

So that's got to count for you conservatives half of the country didnt like Bush.

[Maxi]

AFAIK This is the 2nd or third time in history an american presidential election has been this close. I call the people of america divided. The world hates you LOOK UP AND OUTSIDE YOUR AMERICANISM! YOURE GOVERNMENT IS HATED BY THE WORLD!!

oh and www.betavote.com

God I hate it when Americans get like this, so full of shit.

[Xenome]

If the world could have voted also and not only the USA, then kerry would have won for sure.

I think it's so logical what I'm saying now:

I think bush should have been out of office because the reputation of the USA has lowered alot since Bush is president. The world does not really like Bush.

America needs a new face..

[The Mullinator]

They know that, its probably one of the big reasons alot of people voted for Bush. Americans don't take kindly to non-Americans telling them what to do.

Same way most people in European countries shouldn't take kindly to North Americans telling them what to do.

Jesus, you really are a ****ing ass.

Like you know shit about how I knew the family. As a personal concession though, I forgot to add "how the hell do you explain to a family that their son is dead, for a cause that cannot be proven, by even the man who started it.

Mr. Bush talked to the family, and still they do not respect his policies.

[Prone]

Edit: it doesn't matter anyway. Deleted

and so far, as polls are showing, you have an amazing lead over me in the insults given. please stop it. Insults don't work even if you have nothing to say.

I was simply taking what you said and said it in another way.

Perhaps you didn't mean to say that, but... I don't care.

Kerry Conceded!

[Letters]

Shitty...

[Johan_Tayn]

Being a reserve officer, a father of two daughters and having a lot of good friend in the US I cannot understand you here. Even if you are/were for Bush, why do you guys always have to blow it all out of proportion?

And before you ask like everyone does: yes, my last appointment as a military leader in reserve status was Kunduz, i.e. Afghanistan so I know it's great what has been done to free the ppl there.

Just don't be so narrow-minded. You should be glad that your party has won and that's it. What you said about Kerry could've been directly copied from a right-wing internet site but I have no knowledge about it.

From soldier to soldier: you have learned to show respect to the loser, right?perhaps you should research what Vietnam POWs had to go through while American celebritys went freely through the prison camps(well, perhaps not everywhere they wanted to go, but they went there as they wished).

John Kerry at the very least didn't deserve his war medals that he threw away, but later claimed he didn't and really threw a ribbon because they were interchangable(righto). At least two of his Purple Hearts were easily refutable that he actually received enemy fire to receive them.

It's not much of a wonder that 69% of the military supported Bush.

[AudioRage]

Excuse me for a second, But how the **** does it matter what kerry did or didn't do in vietnam to as to how he'd run the country? and furthermore, at least he was in Vietnam, and now cowering behind the ****ing Texas air National Guard.

Which also has no bearing on how bush is running the country, But what I'm saying is, why do we even give a shit?

[deltron zero]

Kerry '08!

[jaguar_987]

Nader '08!

because, while Kerry wants all the credit for going to Vietnam, he also wanted(note past tense.. He's long gone, haah) us to forget/forgive the fact that he brough railing accusations against the troops that were simply not true. When asked for a witness, he couldn't come up with one, but instead said that he himself did such things. His medals were not warrented. He created fictional reports to gain favor and eventually medals. etc.

Those are character flaws that he didn't want us to see, IMO.

[K e r b e r o s]

Wow, to those of you who just woke up--im almost eight hours ahead of you. Relax, kick back, and do what you were doing when Bush was in office previous.

Make lots of Rueters threads, all detailing Israeli and Palestinian race riots, beheadings, and how Americans keep missing with their missles.

:D
