i disagree, i think a large portion of kerry followers were only kerry followers to get bush out of office.  And thats potentially a large crowd, kerry did lose by a large margin, but he still had enough votes to win past elections in this country.

I said the average American doesn't hate Bush. I don't even think the average Kerry supporter hates Bush. They had problems with the way he did things so they voted against him. Most of them didn't hate him.

Over here, the media is saying that the only reason he won is that most Americans are fanatical Christians that want Bush to wage a Holy War against Islam....

lol, well I do remember hearing the word "crusade" come out of his mouth at some point (oops)

I dont hate HIM, I hate the way hes gone about doing things. I think Id like to have him as a friend....just not a president. Kerry was the only alternative, therefore I voted for Kerry. Though Im hardly distraught about Bush winning, it could be much worse. And I wouldnt say he lost by a large margin... 2% is not a large margin. And 140,000 votes in one state is an even slimmer margin.
People really do hate Bush over here though. I think people would celebrate if he died. Though a lot of that is displaced anger towards a failed US foreign policy.
Some funny front pages though.
"The Sun" had a picture of W, and then in red writing "How 55,234,018 People be so STUPID?" I laughed pretty hard. Ive managed to explain to some people that some smart Americans do vote for him, because even though they might not like the everything hes done so far, theyre confident hell keep trying his hardest, and didnt trust Kerry at all. Then there are some that are sheep, and dont realise that at least 50% of whats coming out of their canidates mouth is true, and all they hear is "Ill protect you better from terrorism". They found the second explaination I provided slightly discomforting, so I then explained "a lot of Americans that have something to fear from terrorism, like New Yorkers, voted overwhelmingly against him, some people just dont realise that hes lying, or think that he lies less than the other canidate. He might, its hard to tell because of how much they both lie." It was that explaination people started to understand. Over here, the media is saying that the only reason he won is that most Americans are fanatical Christians that want Bush to wage a Holy War against Islam.... Yeah.... Ferenheight 9/11 is also excepted as Gospel....

Yes, then you agree with me. I'm talking about those people that hate Bush so deeply that they think he is evil. You are an informed individual who understood both candidates. I'm talking about people who hate Bush. Its a pretty small minority but the media would have you believe that that percentage is much higher.

Very true. I don't any informed person could come to the conclusion that he's evil. Truth be told, the vast majority of those who voted for Kerry are just like *shrug* "Oh well, could be worse."
