I am ashamed for my country.
The "tan" business has really been the last straw for me. I understand that politics can get rough, but I have never seen such disgraceful happenings as this years Presidential election. From smearing a veteren, purple heart bandaids, threatening terrorists attacks if Kerry elected and now, making an issue out of a TAN.

What, oh what, must the other countries think of us? I am so disgusted.

4. We have lost all dignity and I blame it on the media and their
controllers. I sometimes think we have become a fictitous country in a novel by Sidney Sheldon.

5. I figure John Kerry's tan has about the same depth
as George Bush's brand of "Christianity".

6. I am ashamed for my party
It is about time we stop acting shocked and surprised when the Republicans taunt and bully us. That is what they are doing now -- mocking and trivializing our candidate exactly like they did to Gore and Dukakis. That is what Republicans do.

Clinton won because he and his people were tough sons of bitches who knew how to beat the GOP machine at its own game.

I'm thoroughly disgusted at this party's lack of toughness, it's unwillingness to stand up to the bully, choosing instead to whine and cry about "how mean they are being to us". Sickening.

"Resist or Serve. Fight or die."

7. This is an immature, stupid country.
Exhibit A: The man serving as President and leading in polls to be reelected.

Fuck the media, and fuck anyone who buys that bullshit.
