For pointing all this out, I'm hoping so badly that GW will remember that only half the country was for him and the other half wasn't. The voter turn out this year was wonderful and I also don't understand why they're saying the youth didn't show up as expected, because it was a record turn out for 18-24 year olds too (which about 70% of, voted Kerry). ~MelissaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283072392763163737.post-16613881469358882962004-11-05T08:44:00.000-08:002004-11-05T08:44:00.000-08:00hear, hear. hear her. well said.hear, hear. hear her. well said.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283072392763163737.post-37267437562121825872004-11-05T09:19:00.000-08:002004-11-05T09:19:00.000-08:00"Since we love our country, we have no other choic..."Since we love our country, we have no other choice."<br>I love that. perfectly put!<br>and your right, the celebrations is for the poeple.

We got him for President for 4 more years which makes me more determined in making our voices heard. I'm really so sick and tired of this Liberal/Conservative mess! Some issues, I'm more conservative on. Others I may be liberal. It is Not right for the government to put laws on who can marry and whom can not. Nor is it right to give the filthy rich a BIG tax break and make the middle class families pick up the slack. The middle class people are the back bone of this country. They keep THIS COUNTRY going each and every day!! And yet we are underpaid, overworked, highly stressed, over taxed, and simply put down by our own leaders! <br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283072392763163737.post-4099299386904153412004-11-05T19:32:00.000-08:002004-11-05T19:32:00.000-08:00It is patriotic to pay taxes as well, however, I n...It is patriotic to pay taxes as well, however, I never see them (the ones who want services but do not want to pay taxes) being called UnAmerican!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283072392763163737.post-6775945440627533372004-11-06T11:20:00.000-08:002004-11-06T11:20:00.000-08:00Well done, Lisa.Well done, Lisa.<br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283072392763163737.post-931916806371027712004-11-06T19:18:00.000-08:002004-11-06T19:18:00.000-08:00Another "mandate" they forgot to mention: Pres.

I trust you to tell me the truth. Did you think Clinton ever had a mandate>Does a mandate matter? What do you need to have a "mandate"? <br> You are right that NOT just republicans , or christians turned out. But we did turn out too. Is my vote not as worthy as your vote is? Did Bush twist your arm? Did Clinton twist mine? Nearly half of the country dis apporves of every president-right? Surley a supporter of Clinton knows this since he never had a majority, and never had near the amount of votes that Bush has garnered.

I still firmly stand behind John Kerry and will always say he belongs in the White House, not W. John Kerry is a great American and I'm sad that so many people will never know what a wonderful job he could have done for our beloved US. I am watching CNN today and how our Marines are battling Faluja, makes me so sick. Funny thing, where are our allies now Mr. Bush?
