No tears from me.

[TexasSissy]

There will be no tears from me....

when a Bush-voting American soldier dies on a Baghdad battle field;

when a Bush-voting senior citizen discovers that she was misinformed on the Medicare prescription card;

when a Bush-voting young woman discovers she is pregnant and must give birth, regardless of her wishes;

when a Bush-voting young man discovers his girlfriend is pregnant and so he must pay child support for 18 years, regardless of his and his girlfriend's wishes;

when a Bush-voting tech worker's job becomes outsourced;

when a Bush-voting white, conservative southern male loses his job to outsourcing or an illegal immigrant;

when a Bush-voting senior citizen in the future complains about the heavy taxes on her Social Security and retirement funds, to pay off the huge deficit incurred years before;

when a Bush-voting non-Christian citizen is offended at having to pray at work or school;

when a Bush-voting gay experiences open discrimination, free from a frown from the federal government;

when a Bush-voting minority finds it difficult to get a job in certain areas that feel they now have a friendly mandate that is anti-affirmative action;

when a Bush-voting single woman finds her pay increasingly falling behind the pay of white males doing the same work;

when a Bush-voting citizen complains about the war in Iraq, or any other upcoming war.

I will not be happy when these things happen. But I will shed no tears. This is, after all, what they voted for, when they voted for Bush.

1. Thank you.

No sympathy here. They asked for it. Recommended for homepage.

3. Society gets the leaders it deserves..

4. They can all kiss my ass.

If ANY of them dares to complain to me, they WILL regret it.

5. Beds made...now it is time to lie in them Shrub Buddies

And no whining!

[Flubadubya]

6. As the old adage goes...

"You knew I was a snake when you picked me up." Agreed!

[Cleita]

8. Okay, but unfortunately the new rules apply to everyone,

not just the Bush voting ones.

[lachattefolle]

10. Well, we can at least sympathize with those who voted, like us, for

Kerry. The rest of them can go to hell.

[Cleita]

17. It's more than sympathy.

When old people like us stand to lose Social Security and Medicare, we are in deep shit. I think my husband and I contributed a lot to help make this country great once during our lifetimes and now we are going to get kicked in the ass for it.

19. I only meant to say that if someone starts bitching about how they

are fucked now that such and such happens, I will only offer sympathy to those who voted for Kerry. I know sympathy isn't much, but that's about all we can offer now that the Repugs have everything going their way.

[luaneryder]

All that goes for those who

stayed home as well. No more compassion from me, tell it to the WH.

[TexasSissy]

13. Oh, yeah. Them, too. Those who didn't bother.

9. Exactly

I posted a similar rant. :hi:

14. Great minds think alike? I couldn't agree with you more. I am

going to be sure to ask who they voted for, the next time someone complains about these things. The next time my dad says that Iraq is a nightmare (he voted for Bush), I'm going to ask, "Well, who did you vote for? Well, there you go."

[Cat Atomic]

16. Same here. Every fucking time, I'm going to ask them.

And if their answer is "Bush", I'll tell them to "get over it".

[Midlodemocrat]

11. I have no tears left. nt

12. The country I have known for 65 years.....is no longer!

I feel as though there has been a death in the family.....the family of man.

[Cat Atomic]

15. Look on the bright side.

Apparently, much of our country is desperately stupid and anxious to be taken advantage of. Sounds like a good business environment for me.

At least until I'm drafted.

[Cleita]

20. LOL

I needed that.

[bluestateguy]

18. Well written

and non-voters deserve the same.
