Consummated Randomness

Shattered Hopes, Despondent Outlook

Yet again I'm baffled by the incongruence between most pre-election polls and the actual results. How is it that Republicans swept another election when most of them seemed down in the polls beforehand? I'm not big on conspiracy theory, but after Bush tried his damndest to steal Florida in 2000 and actually did, I'm fairly convinced something suspicious has happened. Regardless of the scandalous efforts of the Republican big wigs across the country, I'm frightened by the obvious trend towards radical conservatism. People are so hateful in this country...worried about what everyone else is doing wrong rather than identifying what they can improve about themselves. I was raised Catholic and am still pretty Christian and I deplore any other Christian who stands up in the name of God and preaches hate of anyone. Christians claim to be pro-life, yet they apparently just elected a President who is blatantly pro-death. Bush's wrongful decision to end pursuit of bin Laden and instead pursue Iraq has ended in the wrongful deaths of approximately 16,000 innocent Iraqis, not including the insurgents fighting against us, and over 1,100 of our own beloved soldiers. No amount of stopped abortions could possibly make up for that catastrophic loss of lives. This is just one example of the numerous flawed decisions Bush has made in his 3.5 years during which he has failed to unite a very divided nation and will continue to fail to do so because everyone knows that policy based on hate and disregard for other people causes very polemic opinions.

For those of us who understand the repercussions of the past 24 hours…

IT TRULY IS A SAD DAY FOR AMERICA!
