You know based off our 13 votes were pretty close to what the entire country voted.

Anyhow Im kind of nervous now that I know Bush won. I just hope our economy doesnt get close to the crapper again like it did 1-2 years ago...

be serious. the economy collapsed for a lot of reasons, none of which had a lot to do with who was sitting in the oval office at the time.
I guess it's always nice to have a scapegoat to blame when you feel helpless to do much about a situation though, which isn't helped much by the press.

plus it usually happens with any president, the first couple years the economy is down and it improves in the last two.

i give the bush man credit for all that he endured. sometimes it costs a lot to gain, and i think our countrys policies and morals are more important than money. america will always thrive as one of the greatest nations on earth, as long as we stand united, no matter who is president. we differ in some opinions, but we can agree to disagree, and still live together in peace.

"it is better to say nothing and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt" - i think this quote can apply to morals too...i'd rather be more conservative than liberal (concerning openess to things such as gay marriage etc). not that liberal would be considered foolilsh, but it tends be the cause of most disputes in our nation. (speaking generaly, i dont mean for that to target liberals all together) -- its better not to cross a line and face evident reprecutions, than to cross it and suffer them just for the experience.

i respect your opinions for feeling that bush has led us in a bad direction, but consider what this country has been through while he was in office, and how well we have done. only one attack was made, the rest of the time they have been on the run, and it should stay that way till we know the threat is gone.....sacrifice money before lives, even if its $84 billion or whatever the budget was.

yes some jobs were lost, and now that we are on the downhill and getting a breath of fresh air, he can focus more on the things here at home. we went into debt because our attention turned to the war to keep us alive, had we not, thousands more would be dead in place of that money....which is more important? america will jump right back in the game i know it.


as far as i was before the election, i was sick as you were justin, but opposite for who we voted for obviously. personally, i listened to too many contradictions by kerry....its the biggest red flag i can think of. that alone swayed my decision, and other factors combined left me only one option.

this is a good thread! keep it clean and healthy, i like hearing and talking about our opinions! **and just to say it, i respect all of you here enough and wont get flammed over anything said, and i respect that everyone else can do the same. i think its good to talk about these things, and its fun to discuss things.**

Bush just makes to many mistakes. Thats the bottom line. Oh and some policies that are in use suck also.

They played the heck out of the Timken ad here in Ohio. Bush visited a Timken factorie here in Ohio. Then about a year later they closed the plant and are building a newe one in China.

I have bought Timken products in the past. I dont think I will buy any in the future :mad:

I cant say I liked Kerry. Like you said to wish washy.

I like Nader on most issues except the war issue. I think he is also for Gay marriages which I am not.

IMO there was no real "good" candidate.
