Post-Election Day, 2004: Pt IV

This is the point that is getting lost in all the Bush victory hoo-ha.   "The people have spoken."  No, Georgie.  HALF the people have spoken. The other half still can't stand you.   "Bush won the majority of votes."   Ehhhhh....I wouldn't consider a 3% victory a majority (actually only 2% if you count Nader's 1%).   That's a majority like women are the majority of the population.   That's more like...an edge.   That's like winning by a nose in a horse race.   Like the gold medalist finishing 0.05 seconds ahead of the silver.   And it is not, by any stretch of the imagination, an ass-kicking.   Let's keep that in mind before we start rubbing noses, people.

tch, exactly.

and i hate how everyone's saying we've got to unite the country now. ha, i'd rather not! i hope the democrats stay angry and stand up for themselves. just because bush won by 2% doesn't mean we're suddenly okay with it.

oh, yeah, fuck that. I made the mistake of clicking on this link this morning to one smug Bushie insisting we should all come together now and the Dems are all a bunch of crybabies and the Repubs wouldn't be nearly so bitter and violent if Kerry had won. Yeah. Sure. Uh-huh. No, they don't get bitter. They just run to court and order recounts that miraculously completely reverse the decision. I FUCKING HATE THEM ALL.
