I could help but blurt out to the TV "I see a lot of red up there" in mock frustration.
One Harvardy type guy thought I was serious he turned to me and said, "we need the neo-cons out end this isolationism".
I hear ya buddy... loud and clear.
You could always drive around with a "Thank Me. I Voted For Nader" bumper sticker, but you'd get your car trashed... ;-)
LOL!
NOW I know why they changed the electoral colors!!!

Ask them: Are you poor? If you are not poor and think poor people should be for Democrats, then you should be for Republicans.
The ironic benefit of illegal immigration goes like this. You are a poor family man from the hinterlands of Mexico. You will work to survive. So, you will stoop to sneaking over the southern border in the dark of night so you can get paid for doing the work that someone else wants done.
Or, you are a middle class idealist from old Europe. You want to work because you were trained to be a professional, and told you are an elite who is better than others. (They tell you this in American colleges too that you are the cream of the crop -- you are the elite) You are too proud to sneak over the border, so you obtain a scarce but legal green card. You look down your nose at Republicans because your washed brain just doesn't get it that you trade your scarce time for what someone else wants, not what you wish.
I'm amazed at the number of Englishmen who think like this and hold great disdain at people who believe the individual is supreme.
I'm from Boston. Retired. Live in Florida.
Everyone I now in Boston, including my two grown daughters and their husbands voted for Bush.
Everyone in Massachusetts doesn't live in Cambridge, Somerville or Barney Frank's district.
Sad that the person who made the "electoral process could stand to be changed" comment didn't notice there IS a mandate - popular vote - what they wanted wouldn't have helped them this time either.
He was too giddy for his own good yesterday because he thought the huge voter turnout in his precinct was for Kerry.Little did he know they were cancelling him out...I still love him though,maybe he'll drift to ourside soon.
Just ask your coworkers to name one thing liberals have done to help poor people.
One party captures most of the votes from the poor.
The other party captures most of the votes from educated prosperous people.
Guess which party works to keep their base of poor?
Guess which party works to move the poor to join their base of the educated and prosperous?
Hey. My nephew used to work at a Boston ad agency. He did the Converse "Be the Ball" ad. Is that your shop?
Most here are disappointed but not surprised. They've all complained about the Bush War On Iraq since December 2000 (just after Bush was elected.) All support the Afghan War but none the Iraq war. They're split in opinons about domestic policy. I haven't said much.

Nice examples how out of touch with Americans, and reality, they are.
Why is your company "out-sourcing" so many jobs to non-citizens?
"I think the electoral process could stand to be changed"
How do they reconcile either of these statements with the fact that Bush won 51% of the popular vote? They are in denial.
Just last week a Demo Rat said to me, "all the brightest people in this country live in the Northeast or on the West Coast". The Demos are so smart they are shrinking their party down to a few states, where the "intellectuals" live. Duh.
I own a creative agency and there was only one person besides me on the side of Bush. One of Kerry-ites had a sign covering up an entire wall of his office. They're quite bummed.... And I feel their pain. heee hee hee
I SWEAR.
Isn't that almost a racist comment????
Oh well, I don't mind. (Gloating a little, NOT)
4 MORE YEARS!!
