Well Cara, I guess you and I can still talk to each other, and a couple others on this thread! 
I haven't agreed 100% with everything Bush has done as president, but I was happy to vote for him yesterday, and happy to see that he won. I am astounded that he won by 3.5 million popular votes though. That's a huge margain. Everyone thought it was going to be so close!

Tiger? Haha. Wanna hear something kooky? My maiden name was Lyons. Rawwwwr!!
Yeah, I was just really hot this morning. Like I said in my first post, I hadn't watched ANY of the election coverage... I wasn't even online last night, other than here... I chose to be totally and completely surprised by the results this morning. And I guess I was.  Oh well!

Hi guys,
I think it's funny that some of you said you wanted to up and move to Canada, 'cause I know a lot (A LOT) of people in Canada who were _really_ hoping the vote would go the other way. And then I know everyone I have spoken to, except my boyfriend's mum, in England wanted Kerry to win as well. My boyfriend's mum wanted Bush because, "I like his face better than that other one"... oy!  
I think just out of curiosity it would be cool if all the countries 'allied' with the US were polled to see who they _would_ have voted for, if other Nations had a say.. not that I think they should actually get that say, just for curiosity. It seems that most places are very Anti-Bush right now. I have a lot of trouble in the UK sometimes because people think I'm American and are quite hostile towards me, it's ridiculous.
I watched that "Farenheight (sp) 9/11" film and thought it was too one sided to take completely to heart BUT if the allegations made in the film are 100% true, then I do feel scared for your country.. and the world over, really. Let's hope not, and that the next 4 years go by without any major disasters!
Good luck!

I think it's naive to think that bad things will happen to the US just because Bush is in office. Let's not forget that during the 8 years of Clinton's presidency the world trade center was attacked for the first time (he treated the offendors as criminals instead of terrorists), as was the USS Cole, and the US Embassy in the Sudan. 9/11 was being planned long before Bush was in office. Oddly enough, I seem to think that freezing all the terrorist's money and taking out governments that support terrorism has made the US safer, but that's just one girl's opinion.

Well, let's just hope that no matter WHO is in charge that the next several years go by without anything disasterous happening - and I didn't actually mean JUST surrounding any terrorist activity.

I was surprised by how the numbers of young voters didn't really change after all the hoopla that celebrities like pdiddy and MTV made. I was sure that the young vote was really going to throw it over to Kerry, especially after seeing the overwhelming support of people of my campus for him. Being Pro-Bush doesn't quite go over so well here, but it didn't stop me from wearing my shirts and buttons!

I am not going to go into this to much because i have very strong feelings on this issue,but I just wanted to say that by no means do I blame bush for 9/11!!! Just like I don't blame clinton for the USS Cole or the emmbassy bombings!!!
I just truly do not agree with most of he views and policy's. That is all I am going to say!!!!

Then that's a really reasonable, responsible rationale for voting for or against someone. Everyone is entitled to her own opinion, and I'm glad yours is based on your actual opinions of Bush's policies, not on something irrelevant. I made my choice based on the same things -- I just happen to agree with most of what Bush stands for.
