<p>I guess some people are still a little sore after the crushing blow they experienced during the elections (that goes for non-Americans too). Oh well, sometimes it’s good to let your emotions out, it helps to get over it.</p>
<p>I have no problem admitting that Bush was not a strong canidate. It seemed like everywhere I turned there were anti-Bush groups pointing out the ‘glaring’ problems from his first term in office. </p>
<p>With that said, it took a special group of idiots to lose the 2004 election. Thankfully for Republicans Kerry seemed to find that group.</p>
<p>But I fail to see why that puts her in the category of persons responsible for reckless endangerment of the planet. I don’t really think that she should be put in the same category for endangering the planet as Kim Jong Il and the mullahs of Iran.</p>
