Safe for another four years
The nation has spoken.
Projections? Exit Polls? They're all meaningless. Why? Because They all indicated a tighter race and a much more divided America. An extreme hatred for President Bush has conjured up a belief that John Kerry, the baby-killing Democratic Presidential hopeful from Massachusetts, had a chance to take the wheel and steer the county in a new direction.
Like it or not liberals, America doesn't want to go in that direction. So much doubt and dismay has been displayed over the re-election of Bush, the clear-cut winner of the 2004 Presidential Election.
Some liberal students on the campus of Central Connecticut State University have grieved over the existence of the electorial college. Perhaps they need a lesson in government procedures before they run their mouths. Not only did Kerry win California, the state with the most electoral votes at 55, but he won all of New England. If anything, the Republicans should be damning the electoral vote since most of California is fiercly conservative. But regardless, Kerry won the most populated areas of the country and it still wasn't enough.
Then the lefties moved to curse the popular vote, which almost saved them with Al Gore in the 2000 election. Too bad, Bush won there too: a piercing 51-percent to Kerry's 48-percent. That's 59,459,765 to 55,949,407. That hurts. If anything, Democrats should be cursing Ralph Nader for stealing 1-percent of the popular vote. Once again, the country has spoken.
The final point brought up by liberals cursing anyone who voted Republican is the unfounded rumor of Bush instituting a draft for people 18-26. This is remedial government 101: Bush can't istitute a draft all by himself. For it to pass, Congress has to draft a law to authorize it. I thought politically active college students are supposed to be up on such processes.
The Senate had two bills which surfaced in January 2003: Senate Bill 89, introduced by Senator Ernest F. Hollings (D-SC), and House Resolution 163, introduced by Representative Charles B. Rangel (D-NY). According to Rod Powers's article on drafting at about.com, both bills would require two years of military service for every male and female in the United States, between the ages of 18 and 26. Might I point out the hefty "D" attatched to both the individuals' names?
As recent as October 5th 2004, Resolution 163 resurfaced and was swiftly defeated by a vote of 402 to 2.
Democrats are simply scared and looking for a "you've-doomed-us-all" reason to throw in the faces of Bush-backers. There will be no draft. Democrats: you lost. Get over it and work together with Republicans instead of pouting over unfounded beliefs.

Most of the country is against reinstating the draft, which is why Congress conveniently voted on the resolution before election time.
The Republicans hold the majority in the Senate, House and the White House. The Republican President will soon be placing new people into the Supreme Court. Republicans control the three checks and balances. Do you really think there is a chance for fair and equal rulings of bills? I don’t.
GWB won because of his “faith”. Yet he “flip-flops” on this issue as much as John Kerry does on other issues. GWB opposes abortion yet supports the death penalty. Now that doesn’t sound too religious to me.
He believes that America should be free, yet endorses the Patriot Act. The government never has the right to invade your privacy. As a side note, I doubt the great terrorists of the world are plotting their next attack via AIM.
He condemns homosexuals and supports an amendment to ban gay marriage. Democracy is for the people. Sorry to break the news, but homosexuals are people.
As for international policy in the Middle East, I'm sure they love having us there, "rebuilding" their homeland and government. I'm not saying their regime was better before, but why does the US insist on converting everyone to democracy? I mean, I hate it when the Mormons come to my door and try and convert me, imagine how they feel.
I just can’t see what GWB has done for this country, and I see no reason to believe we are “Safe For Four More Years”.

stupid mass murderer. The president is one of the few people in America who truly deserves the death penalty. I wish I could enter a lottery for the privilege of throwing the switch.
Kerry wanted to deploy an undisclosed number of troops into Iraq to finish what they had started. Most political forecastered predicted that it would be a sum that would require a draft to be implicated.
When asked about possible drafting Bush claimed that he would never institute one. Kerry on the other hand stated that he would do whatever was nescissary.
Ha ha, Rob trusts the Bush administration. He's so innocent and naive. It's adorable.
