I was holding out hope. I was really hoping we'd get out from under the thumb of this regime.

I had a feeling that the Smirking Chimp and his zookeepers would "win" by some electoral debacle. I was prepared for that. It happened last time after all.

What I wasn't prepared for was that he'd win the popular vote as well. That leads me to believe that there's a vast majority of you out there who couldn't be bothered to vote OR that this country truly has willingly swallowed the tainted opiate that BushCo has been spooning out since September 12th, 2001.

Either way, this is no longer my country. This is not the country that I spent years defending. I will always consider myself an American but I cannot call this country America anymore.

Yeah. Today sucks.

I suspect I'll feel much the same way if we fail to shift piety Blair next spring. Which seems increasingly likely. :-/

I like Blair. At least when he speaks in public, British people everywhere don't have to cringe at his expressions and pronounciation.

I'd agree that he's eloquent. Unfortunately, he's also addicted to 'spin', he's terrified of the British tabloid press branding him a left-winger and he seems to stand for... er... whatever will get him re-elected.

Not so good.
