Seven days of morning nearly over...
I was inclined to write more just before, on the day of, and the day after the election. However, I was working and cramped on a tin can some five miles up. Needless-to-say I was and am devastated by the events of November 2nd. I am simply appauled. As one of my friends put it, "52% of voting Americans are stupid." Plain, simple and to the point. I knew the election would be close, but I really felt Kerry had the chance to pull it off. I had no idea the gap would be as wide as it was, although historically it is one of the most narrow wins on record.
It floors me Bush was able to convince so many he was the right guy to lead this country. He has done nothing but prove he isn't up to the job, yet the American people re-hired him. I don't get it. I want my money back. Can't I call customer service and complain? When I spoke to my mother about the election, she said, "It's never fun to be on the losing side." She's right, but I've never felt despare before due to the outcome of an election. It's hard for me even to find the right words for the aboslute loss I feel for what has happened. I feel like my membership to my most favorite club has been revoked. It kind of feels like the end of a long, satisfying relationship. I feel there is no hope.
I know Bush will only be in office for four more years but that man has done more in his first four years to move our country backward then any I can think of. I am also more afraid now because he doesn't have to worry about being re-elected. He can push through whatever legislation he'd like without having to worry about the political fall-out come election day, 2008. I really think we've yet to see the real George W. Bush. I was reading in the USA Today today an article about Carl Rove. He's Satan himself, I swear, and he promises Bush will push through a Constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. Isn't it great our Constitution may soon discriminate against some of our fellow Americans?
I know whatever Bush does can be undone but I am worried for how long that will take. Hopefully we can get a democrat in the office next time and start to repair the damage. However, it may take 20 years or more to undo all the wrongs Bush will have committed on this country. I really don't know if I am willing to wait around that long. I feel like I'm slowly being pushed out of my own country.
