It's All Over.

Well folks, the pessimist in me is really coming out now. No matter what Kerry and his crew say, they've lost Ohio, and therefore, a shot at the white house. Obviously Iowa and New Mexico are still close, but whoever wins Ohio will be put over the 270 votes needed to win. Devastatingly, the Dems have lost the Senate and the House. What does this mean for America? Frankly, it means that America loses. It was a battle between The Corporations and America, and it looks like the Corporations (embodied by Bush, of course) have secured their grasp over America for the next four years. On a positive note, maybe Bush will fuck things up so badly in these next years that people won't want to vote republican anymore. As you'll see by the name of this blog, I'm all about demented things -- in politics to a lesser extent, but that aspect of American life definitely influences you. As someone much wiser than me said, "It doesn't matter whether you're interested in politics or not. Politics is interested in you." That being said, this is the most demented this country has ever been. Here we are, electing by a majority, the first time since 1988 we've elected a President by a majority, a man who can barely form a coherent sentence. I must give credit where credit is due to Karl Rove. The man is a genius. I mean, to make someone like Bush, whose coke and alcohol-addled brain barely enables him to stand upright, into a clear winner for the White House...simply incredible. In the "maybe some good will come of all this" column, I hope the Democrats take a long, hard look at their policies. Obviously something needs to be changed in order for them to get back in the game, because right now they just lost everything. The Supreme Court: conservative. The Congress: conservative. The President: conservative. In other words, it's a heyday for republicans. Let's see what fun they'll have with four more years. If I was a praying man, I'd be praying pretty hard for America's future. However, I am not a praying man, so I'll have to be content to sit and wait four years -- I'll be 23 then and out of college, assuming I live through another Bush presidency without getting sent off to war. That draft bill is in Congress, people. Do I need to remind you that the republicans just won Congress? And this time, Canada might not be safe -- the Canadian government may very well work with Bush and the republicans to make the previous loophole of moving to Canada to get out of war a non-option. In other words, time to bone up on espanol.
