So yea, i know this is a little late in the game, but what did you do when you found out bush won the election? When i first found out i was in school in music theory class and punched a gong and ended up cutting my knuckles. after school i went to a friend's house, took some bong hits and smoked an entire pack of cigs.
I tried to be positive. It may have not been the end of his presidency like I so badly wanted, but at least we are half-way through! (I try to keep the glass half-full)
um, i got very upset and felt like all hope was crushed. i had so much hope before then. i drank WAAAY too much that night.
I found out in my AP US class and it was bad. Everyone around me was cheering (I live in the deep South) and the 3 or 4 Democrats in the class got up and left. My teacher told us we didn't have to do any work because we were obviously smart enough to not need it (he's a superliberal). After I got over the shakes, I went to my next class and criiiiiiiied. Then the next day me and all my teacher wore all black.
It was a double-bad wammy in Australia, our extreme conserv ass-licker John Howard won then bush did too. I couldn't believe it, looked at my two young sons and thought there is more afoot here than I know about.
Some people live in the deep South where life is a living hell for you if you don't go to church every Sunday and Wed. and constantly preach the moral atrocities of gay marriage. After the election my liberal friends and I all got called "babykillers" along with a bunch of other names so I think I deserved to be dramatic. I was also PMSing. =P
That day was weird for me. It was my first time voting, and I was really happy about that. I watched the election closely. I was really upset when I realized that Bush was about to win. Obviously. Not only do I detest Bush, but I was kinda hoping that the first person I voted for would win. But it was nothing compared to the reactions I've saw after the election. You know, I thought that the war had pretty much split people far apart. I was wrong. I don't think I've ever seen this community so split before than after this election. Those who voted for Bush gloating, those who voted against him angry or even crying. My best friend was scared that I'd actually be mad at her because she voted for Bush. Why would I be mad at her? I've never tried to push my politics on her. And yeah, I hate Bush, but for Christ's sake, she's my best friend! I'm just glad she voted. If you had told her two years ago that she would ever vote in any election, she would've laughed at you and said politics are a waste of time. I was really proud of her for voting in that election, and she actually thought I'd be angry with her. That really hurt.
I didnt care. I dont give a fuck about politics, and i really didnt even care who won the election. If i had to choose though, it would have been Kerry.
The night before the dastardly day of November 2, I stayed up late watching CNN (JSDKFLDSGH:FUILSDK:JFSKLD: F!!!) for election coverage. I went to school happy on the 2nd, thinking that we would have the lesser of the two evils (Kerry) for president. I heard it at my locker. It was between English and Art, and my friend CCR came out of nowhere and said the dreaded words: "Bush won." I think I swore loudly, and the person two lockers away from me (who also lives two houses away from me) said, "You actually wanted Kerry to win?" I explained that Kerry was the lesser of the two evils, and he just looked at me weird and walked away. Then I went to Art. I saw my friend Keri along the way and we exchanged mournful looks. In Art my non-friends were happy. HAPPY! Happy that a fucker who has divided the people of the nation won a stupid election again. I'm happy that I'll get to participate in the election whose outcome is sure to not involve him. The fucking ape.
Oh shut the fuck up you pussies. Jesus Goddam Christ, you get that tore up over an election some of you didn't even vote in? He is in office for four years, he isn't gonna ruin America. You lost get over it, stop bitching and moaning and start thinking about a good platform in 08'. You can bet that the republicans are gloating too much now, no they are planning for 08' and unless the dems can thrust someone on the stage who is capable of taking Bill Frist down. I can already tell you that Clinton/Obama 08' won't win so get a candidate who can define himself and his party and actually has a chance at winning.
I saw it coming. I wasn't supporting Kerry anyway, I was supporting Badnarik, but I dunno if I actually woulda wanted him to win either. Anyway, it was kinda like watching a b horror movie you already knew the end to.
Me and my old roommate stayed up and had a fat session from start of the count till the finish because we thought at first Kerry was for sure gonna win. When Bush one, our barely opened eyes could barely hold the tears back.
The night of the election, I was glued to the television waiting for election results. I stayed up until maybe 4 in the morning, hoping and praying for a change. I fell asleep with the tv still on. When I woke up, I heard the announcement that Kerry had conceded. I started to cry. I was furious and upset. I still am. But all will be well. We just have to be hopeful.
