"Victor Martinez" wrote in message ... The worse thing is, in his first term he governed as if he had a clear mandate, despite losing the popular vote. Can you imagine how he's going to govern this time? I just hope the democrats in the senate have enough cojones to prevent another Scalia or Thomas from joining the Supreme Court. Victor Martinez We now have none of the checks and balances that were wisely put in place to keep any one person or government body from having too much power. For at least the next four years, we have a president with a mission, nothing to lose, and a majority of both the house and the senate with the same political bent. With one or more appointments to the Supreme Court, the effect of this administration and this election will last as long or longer than my remaining years. This concerns me beyond words. I'm having a really hard time comprehending it right now. Annie |

If Kerry and Edwards are any evidence of Democratic cojones, we're all in deep doo-doo. 11/2: "We're not going to stop fighting for this election until every vote is counted!" 11/3: "We concede this election." HUH? We're dead. Joyce |

He's dangerous anyway. It scares me to death, especially since he has Congress and will soon pack the Supreme Court. I don't like Kerry, but I voted for him because I felt he was less dangerous. Same here, exactly. Kerry was less than inspiring. I just figured we'd all be travelling the road to H*ll a little more slowly with him at the helm. Joyce |
