My Thoughts Exactly

I cared. I voted. But I didn't know I cared that much. As the disappointment of Bush capturing a 2nd term set in, it really hit me. I did my part. I voted. I had been waiting for this day for quite some time, but especially since the Democratic primaries and especially Super Tuesday. I felt good about Kerry's chances. I knew it would be close and that Kerry would need to take either Florida or Ohio from Bush to win the presidency. I thought it would happen. I really don't have anything positive to say about Bush, and while Kerry wasn't necessarily who I wanted from the Democratic Party, I just wanted a change. No more lies. No more slippery slopes. None of that. I wanted a fresh start and Kerry offered that. But instead a majority of America gave Bush another four years. I don't know what he did during his first 4 year term to deserve those votes but he played the "political game" better and now he gets to play "his game" for 4 more years. Oddly enough, my sisters thoughts on the election are nearly identical to mine. And so I direct you to her blog, in which she did a much better job articulating exactly what I was thinking in a way I never would have been able to do. My Thoughts Exactly
