Cameron's Thoughts

I almost feel as if there is some chance the American people will realize the truth behind Bush. I am watching Real Time with Bill Maher, and both Ann Coulter and Andrew Sullivan as bashing Bush. It's unreal. I would never thought these people would be talking like this. I feel so much relief right now. If you haven't seen this one yet, catch a rerun. I am so happy even heavy conservatives are finally fed up with Bush.

For those who were wondering my political beliefs:

This explains alot.

States ordered by IQ and who they voted for. Seems to be a bit of a pattern.

IQ and Politics

Now that the presidential election has been decided, it comes with much disappointment with the outcome and fear that over half of the people that live in this country actually wanted Bush to continue as President. I have trouble putting into words how I feel about this, so I have provided links to posts by Russell Beattie and Shaun McGill. They have both provided very good points of view and I agree with their opinions.

Shaun's posting on Outspoken:
Time to step back

Russell's posting on his Notebook:
More than disappointed

Maybe I am not being optimistic, but just looking at CNN's election info, there are way to many states that are red(indicating that Bush is projected to win). I really hope California with it's 55 electoral votes comes and gives Kerry a boast. He is really going to need it. I guess only 22% of precincts have reported yet, so with the race being so close, maybe some other states will turn around too.

I Voted... Did You?
I voted earlier today and fulfilled my duties for today. I certainly didn't vote for Bush, but I not saying who I did vote for . (And no, Neil, I didn't vote for Badnarik either).
I hope everyone in the US who is able to gets out and votes today as this could be one of the most important decisions of the next four years.

Design your very own Bush.

Build a Better Bush

This show aired a few nights ago, Michael Moore on The O'Reilly Factor. Anyone who has seen this show will probably know how ridiculous Bill O'Reilly can be. I have only rarely watched an episode because it's like watching a grown up 2nd grader trying to argue points that you can clearly see make no sense. I think somehow in his mind it does though.
This episode would have been something else. I didn't want to watch it because I know I would have only gotten pissed off, but there is a transcript of the episode. It's unbelievable how O'Reilly will sit there and actually try to argue that Bush didn't lie about the WMD. It's a fact that he did. It's as simple as that, but for some people, only a distorted reality is true in their minds.

This Land, Starring George Bush & John Kerry

Neil gave me a link to this site, JohnKerryIsADoucheBagButImVotingForHimAnyWay.com. Like the site mentions, I don't know if I would go as far to say that he is a douche bag, but he's not the first candidate I would have picked by far. But the site has many good points, and I fully agree with it. I would have voted for any loser or freak that fell into the democratic nomination, as long as it wasn't Bush or one of his buddies. All I know is he needs to go, and ANYBODY could do a better job. So, yes, I will vote for John Kerry. In the primaries, I voted for John Edwards since I though he would have been a much better choice, but, oh well. What can we do. Whatever you do, please don't vote for Bush. Think of the children, and the parents, and the poor, and the older. Really, the only people that should vote Bush should be the rich (500K a year and up) and the family members of rich republican politicians. Or, if you are in the oil business. Those are really the only people to benefit from Bush's presidency.

Not that this is really shocking or anything, it just gave me a nice laugh. Here's a video of Donald Rumsfeld flat out lying on an interview and then proved wrong on air. Look's like it was on the show Meet the Press. http://www.moveon.org/censure/caughtonvideo/

For all of you looking to boot Bush, don't forget to vote in the Democratic primaries. In Michigan they are February 7th, I just got done voting online since I applied for a little while back. I hope someday the actual elections are online because it was nice and easy to vote from home, especially with a little one to take care of. I voted John Edwards. He actually seems to care about real people, not just letting the rich get richer. He has some good idea's on what to do with advancing the economy, and I think if anybody has a chance to defeat Bush, it's him.

I added a counter to the sidebar of my website. It shows a running total of the estimated cost of the Iraqi war (or "conflict" to be technical). The code for this counter can be found at costofwar.com, along with info on how they come up with the number. Tixx at Cliesource said it looks to be running at about $1000 a second, and I believe the costofwar website said the cost is like $4 billion a month, so basically a billion dollars a week.
