I'm already disappointed. I can't believe that Americans bought into the fear nonsense and flag waving from Bush. This has been a shitty four years for me, and I can credit Bush's decisions with at least a third of that shittyness. More to the point, I can't believe people think Iraq and terrorism are the same fight, or that they overlook Bush's total disregard for fiscal responsibility.
Ohio voters passed Issue 1, which basically says only man-woman couples can be married and be entitled to said benefits. Idiots. Even our Republican governor and senator (which I voted for, because I'm not a party-line guy) said it was a bad idea. That "domestic partner" health insurance Stephanie and I had before we got married would be gone now. I'll never understand why people give a shit what others do in terms of relationships, and how someone else's actions somehow lessen the significance of their own.
Sigh. It's gonna be a rough couple of years.
Same proposal in Michigan and it passed as well.
I agree with you on the "shitty years". We've watched as Michigan has lost thousands of jobs due to some of Bush's decisions, and another 4600 IT jobs being lost with EDS in the works making it nearly impossible for Gordon get a job in his field of choice. I've watched my mother, 72 years old and on social security trying to make ends meet on $450 a month and have more and more services taken away or cost more.
And I've watched all the blind moral and republican voters insisting that Bush is doing a great job, even though they've been lied to over and over again.
I don't get it.
Seriously? What's wrong with this country? *cry*
Do I hear Hillary Clinton for 2008?
Four more years of this? Holy crap are we in trouble...
