It was not insane of you to vote for Kerry - why, some of my best FRIENDS are Kerry supporters. (: That said, I think someone can be idealistic even though they are Republican. I think I am idealistic.

We're nothing if we let angry scared crazy religious people control our destiny, and no matter how you skew the stats, those people are the difference. Without them, Bush would've lost by 9 pm last night.

If the majority of the people in this country are scared crazy religious people, then what's so unfair about a result that (as you say) reflects the majority of a country's people? I disagree that the majority are uneducated Jesus freaks speaking in tongues. They may not be educated to the degree that YOU AND I would prefer a voter to be before the voter casts his/her ballot. Do we really expect the masses to accomplish an insightful comparative analysis of each candidate's health care initiatives, taking into account the text and fate of prior ones? No. Most people are too busy and, yes, ill equipped, to analyze the way we do on here. Most will reason like my gas company friend who told me yesterday quite simply, "I am voting for Kerry because he is a Democrat and the Democratic party is `For the Working Man'". Yes, it's embarrasingly simple, but that's the way things are (and besides, he has really nice pectorial muscles).

I don't have religion; if you fuck this place up for me, I've got nothing else.

I'm agnostic too, brother.
I know but any opportunity to croon over picture of a young Deniro....(Yes, I admit it!! I have a fetish for skinny, burn-out looking men, ala a pre-fatty Jim Morrison and the like!)
