We Won!
We won. Or should I say "America Won!" Now, I can take a deep breath and relax, but perhaps not for long. Because I am quite sure the media, the Dan "Blather", Katie Courics' and the Hollywood types, the Harrison Ford, Cameron Diaz, Michael J. Fox, and Oprahs' will begin again. Soon, Michael Moore will have another "Lie on Film" and it will all start up once more. But for these few days, those of us who believe we are safer with President Bush at the helm of our government can relax. I literally can feel the stress ebb.
I vote Republican. I believe truly that they are the party of equality regardless of what the media and liberal rant. I am appreciated and welcomed not because of my religion, race, or economic bracket, but despite it. They demand only that I take personal responsibility and do not expect the government to take responsibility for me. The same as any good parent would want for their grown children. And unlike what the Left would have you believe, we are not xenophobic.
It was wonderful to vote and have a line for once (and I early voted). To actually have faith in Americans who seemed to care where their country was heading. The two 18 year olds in front of me were tattooed, pink haired and pierced and were almost certainly voting for the "other guy". But they were voting!
I vote because I want the right to complain when things don't go how I think they should. I've always had a lack of respect for people who, after spending an hour on their soapbox about how this and that is wrong with the USA, end it with telling me that's why they don't vote. How do they really justify that ignorant remark, I wonder?
I also don't comprehend how people do not appreciate and understand that war is how we are free, how we got the right to vote in the first place. NO ONE with an ounce of compassion chooses war but some of us realize there are times it is necessary. Peace is a nice dream, but for reasons not of our own making, it is not likely to ever happen. Get over it.
I wonder though if the Democrats learned anything from this election? I would like to know they understand now that hate doesn't work, lying doesn't get votes; slander does not stand up in a righteous light. There is so much I want to tell them but I have failed to find one who will listen.
Having a movie star, who doesn't even understand politics enough to discuss it, sprout your rhetoric will not sway all the people. Apparently not even most of the people! Remember President Lincoln? The Republican President said "You can fool some of the people some of the time.... True now more than ever because we have a lot of substitute media options. And the truth will prevail.
In my humble opinion, I suggest that as a Democrat you review the numbers. A true majority re-elected President Bush. Stop whining and griping and if you really want things to change become informed and remember that criticism is not the same as complaining. Criticism requires that you have facts and are able to back them up with real proof and options that are acceptable. Saying something is so repeatedly does not make it so and most of us "Righties" are really not that stupid, contrary to the Brit's tabloid "The Mirror" and your belief. You can sway us only with truth and facts not hype and Michael Moore type lies. I for one think Kerry would have been more believable if he were to have actually given ONE example of his many
"Plans".
And when you trash the Republican Campaign offices it didn't win you any respect either.
You know, it would be a better competition if both sides started on a level playing field and I am afraid you will have to come up to ours because I, for one, refuse to go down to yours.
