Reply #134: Thank you so much

Thanks to all involved in the Kerry campaign for giving us hope. I think John Kerry's intelligence and compassion would have made him a truly great president. (And not to mention having a fellow windsurfer in the White House would have been so very cool!).

It's just heart-wrenching to me to have that dream of a good president and country I could be proud of be blown away, whether it be from rigged voting machines, or (what I consider to be) poor judgement on the part of American voters.

It could have been SO GOOD. And now it's just, well, SO BAD.

I love this country, and it feels so weird to be so ashamed of it.

I think now we need to figure out why. Why did so many people vote this way? And how can they be educated/encouraged to make more wise and compassionate decisions in the future?
