WHY THE HELL DID HE HAVE TO WIN???!! 4 YEARS OF HELL!!!! That's it! I've had it with America. I'm fleeing to Spain and enjoying an extended European vacation, or Poland's another idea. I was so hopeful for Kerry, now I can see a black cloud enveloping the U.S. for 4 more years. Bye bye environment, bye women's right to choose, say hello to the

How does it equate? ... Lemme tell you!

First off, I'm going to tell you that I am a Democrat as well as a John Kerry supporter. I am also an active Democrat in Athens, Ohio where I am a student at Ohio University. Being a Journalism student, I followed this election very closely..more closely than most.

If you're scared about the draft, go sign this petition going to President Bush: http://www.noiraqdraft.com/impact.php?uid=38075cbb669a24d634d7ebb31bef1dff !! Have all your friends sign too!

And secondly, don't even begin to mention OHIO in your journal entry. It is quite simply not the voters fault! I could give you plenty of websites that will give you ample proof that it is not their fault. Simply, the majority of the blame can be placed on Ohio's Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell. This Republican's goal was to skew the election towards President Bush. He accomplished this in many ways, mainly by changing provisional voting rules (making it harder for people to cast a ballot). He also banned the media from entering the polling locations - thereby not allowing the media to monitor for voting discrepancies? Have you ever heard of profiling? Would you believe that this would be supported...?

So, in short, it is not the voters fault that John Kerry didn't win, it is the Republicans that are involved in the government at all levels.

Isn't it weird that exit polls (Ask someone as they are leaving a polling place who they voted for) indicated that John Kerry was supposed to win?
