This site is really irritating me already.

For a start; Bush is not the fault of Democrat voters, and 59million people did vote for him. I doubt many of them are sorry; and so they shouldn't be -- that's the way democracy works.

Secondly "Believe me, almost half of us are very goddamn sorry." - I don't. Over 40% of the eligible voters in the US

Quite.

Just goes to show quite how polarised people have become over the man, though.

It'd make a reasonable amount of sense as regret rather than apology; "sorry" can carry either meaning.

*puff* *pant* *skid to a halt* What he said.

It doesn't feel that way.

Of course, that way is meaningless too - the Bush supporters would be feeling the same way if Kerry won (but might not go telling to rest of us so).

A fact often reflected in Senji's own use of the word!

I don't know. I like the site. I agree that some of the numbers and/or percentages they claim aren't correct, but I think the sentiment is worth expressing. I feel much the same. I tried very hard to get Kerry elected - meetings, signs, working the polls. I certainly want the rest of the world to know that the outcome of this election wasn't _my_ choice.

They just don't want to be lumped into the group of "American Idiots"

And, in that position, I can quite imagine that I'd want to do the same. And try and get the message across as strongly as possible that there was a sizeable population of "American non-idiots", even if the actual numbers the claim don't really stack up. (For one thing, regarding numbers, I can quite well believe that there are many people who voted Democrat on the basis of believing that Kerry was the better man for the job, rather than that Bush is the wrong one, who would feel no need to express such extreme regret at the way things turned out.)

Great, now on top of everything else, I've got the Green Day song going through my head. :-)

How about "I didn't vote for Bush"?

[edith_the_hutt]

I'm sure they can find something to appologise about

Now do we have appologise for the Empire?

[naath]

No, we have to apologise for loosing the war and letting the Americans go it allone.

[edith_the_hutt]

are you stupid or what? if kerry had one, the bush voters wouldn't be apologizing to the rest of the world - they don't give a damn about the rest of the world. or even the rest of their country.

[edith_the_hutt]

won, even
