alan evil - go read another pack of lies from the NY Times and keep your liberal garbage off this list it's quite obvious you have financial jealousy and you blame bush instead of properly blaming yourself some call it corporate climbing......others call it ass kissing.....others call it GETTING AHEAD..... OF YOUR WHINY ASS the evil corporations have made your american life better than any other country could imagine your attitude is a perfect example of why john kerry lost - kudos and hey now! a majority is a majority folks - call it a mandate or not.....but you can say this much for sure: bush won by a larger victory than 2000.....by a larger margin than most liberal victories in the past century.....in a time when the lib media made it seem like the entire country was against him. daschle is gone and the house and senate have moved further to the right the country as a whole HAS spoken i surely would have accepted a kerry victory had that happened how you can cry for 4 years about the gore loss only to be ready to cry for 4 more is beyond me stop feeling sorry for yourself and either do what it takes to make more money.....or hold on to your "values" and SHUT UP ALREADY! sorry folks....i'm done with this - PROMISE! :D
