it's not so much that bush won that has made me depressed. it's the mindset of a majority (granted, not a huge one, but still a majority) of people living here. clinton was impeached for getting a blowjob in the white house, despite presiding over brilliant economic times, and being a well-spoken and thoughtful hard worker. w has blatantly lied to the american people aboiut really important things on several occasions, gone against world concensus many times, gotten us into a ridiculous war where american deaths have topped a thousand, and then there are the countless deaths in iraq, which has turned into the new terrorist breeding ground for al quaida. the national debt is monstrous...something that will be affecting at least our children's generation, if not our grandchildren's. no end is in sight for any of this. what does the man have to do to get fired? people line up to sing his praises, and i just don't get it. i have a sad feeling that bush and co. now feel that they have a mandate to be the cocky bastards those who voted for him expect him to be, at the expense of all of us. i guess fear-mongering and sleight of hand really are effective political tools, and the apparent blindness of the majority of americans willing to feed into all of it has left me feeling disappointed, confused and probably disgusted.
