How will you feel if Kerry is elected?
 

Which of the following will describe your feelings if John F. Kerry is elected 44th President of the United States this Tuesday?

Where is the option "Happy because it isn't Bush, sad because it is Kerry"?

relieved :o

Sad b/c I'll have to find a new country to live in, and Europe and Canada won't work either. Maybe Australia--I could get used to saying "mate" all the time.

where is the sick to my stomach option?

Disappointed.

I don't believe that Kerry is the answer to our problems. I just hope that if he is elected he will focus on the war and get us out of there ASAP (which is what I would want if GB is reelected), not tax us to death, and won't disgrace the office.

...... . . . . ... ...

I'll second that :p

Happy.
I'll feel this way because it will reinforce to me the fact that most of the people of the states are wise, have common sense, and see that the way the GOP is taking you will bite you in the ass one day.

the real question for me is "how would you feel if bush were re-'relected'?" i think my answer would be "severely dissapointed in the fact that american's do not care about how the nation began and what re-"electing" george bush (was he ever elected in the first place? i would argue not) would represent to the rest of the world. -my 2 cents.

that episode of southpark summed it up... it's a choice between a giant douche and a turd sandwich.

How anyone could vote that man to be president of a free democratic country mystifies me. Regardless of the alternative....I would never vote for that man

I woud be pretty postal, I'm going to be in the military for the next 6 years and I do not want them to be under Kerry.

I'll be satisfied. He's better than Bush (at least in my opinion) but isn't all that great. I think his domestic health care plan is gonna drive the deficit up even more.

I sure as hell hope it's Kerry, if the people endorse Bush's wars God knows where the next one might be!

Relieved that Bush will join the ranks of millions that he put out of work with his bullshit tax cuts.

And I never saw a dime of it by the way.

I'd feel sorry for you, Clinton kept me out of it when I was of military age.

Me personally I'd be disapointed, I know people are short sighted as a whole, but I hate having it demonstrated.

Definitely happy. I'm not so much pro-Kerry as very, very anti-Dubya. I've had enough of Ashcroft et al.

Happy and relieved that this country will finally get back to being decent instead of the closed-minded future that Bush has us heading into.

I will be very disappointed. Not "moving to Canada" disappointed, but more like "tempted to run for office myself so that something like this never ever happens again" disappointed.

Thats how I was when I saw Gore trying to ignore all the election laws of Florida and the fact that Judges had more power than the people in 2000. I still might after this.

i will be fucking ecstatic, to put it mildly

bush out of office, ashcroft and cheney joining him...and replaced with a man with a brain...

you'll see me dancing naked in the parking lot when that happens....

I'll be relieved, which doesn't happen to be a choice.

Ecstatic. Not really for the fact that Kerry will be in office, but for the fact that Curious George will be gone. It will be a fine day indeed.

Satisfied would be the closest description of my response. The current administration and the Republican Party have to pay for the shit-storm they put this country though over the past four years. Many of the mistakes and blunders are absolutely inexcusable. I don't know enough about Kerry, but Democrats have a tendency to take the gentler slope if they head into the bad so we can survive four years of Kerry (assuming he end up incompetent) easier then four more years of Bush.

Now that should have been in the poll. As it was, I had to pick ecstatic, but mostly because Kerry isn't Bush.

I'll be upset that a coniving turn coat liberal is in the office. I fear for my country.

Satisfied....Bush is out of office, good enough for me. (although I do wish the Green Party or the Socialist party became major parties..)

Bush has already demonstrated that he will order U.S. troops into harms way
when it is not absolutely necessary, and at least 1122 of our brave and dedicated soldiers have been killed as a result, including at least eight fine
young U.S. Marines over this weekend. Just what is it that you believe Kerry
might do as commander in chief that could be a greater betrayal of the trust,
respect, and allegiance of the members of our military than that? Why would you
be happier to serve under a commander who deliberately avoided combat service
when he was your age, than a commander who volunteered to not only serve
in combat, but to serve in a unit with an immediately past history of repeatedly
engaging the enemy while suffering a high casualty rate to its own personnel?

thefictionweliv, at your young age, are you certain that your assessment is
superior to the opinion of these 36 editorial boards? You, more than most
Americans, have a great deal at stake as far as the outcome of this election.
Thank you for your service and may God bless you and protect you.

I would be happy. I do truly believe that Kerry can bring back the respect and trust for the US here in Europe that Bush has lost.

Last I heard 70% of the military is voting for Bush.... go figure. I wonder what we will get for numbers after the election.

I have been to the VA a lot lately and all the old retirees that I talk to put Kerry in the same group as Jane Fonda.

I put down ecstatic for lack of the "Spooging in my pants" option.
I've been leaning more towards Libertarian, lately, but I still choose Kerry over Bush. I also like Kerry a lot, and tend to read the "Oh god, NOT HIM! FUCK THAT" comments as having as much weight to their reasoning as the same comments directed at Hillary Clinton; I just don't see what your problem is.
In terms of military, I'd be much, much more likely to sign up under Kerry than under Bush, and I think that some day historians will mark down Bush as having jumped the gun for dubious reasons. As a note: For a guy that uses "September the 11th, 2001" a whole lot on his campaign trail, he sure FUCKED UP BRINGING JUSTICE TO THE TABLE.
I also have a memory of the 2000 election, in that it got jacked for a Bush, by a Bush.
And finally, the only Irish-Catholic ever to hold the top job of the nation was shot down in his first term. His brother, running for that office afterwards, was shot before his day on the ballot. The other brother... no dice. Long story short, I feel cheated.

If, on Nov 2nd, Kerry wins out... no, I will not be ecstatic. I will be spooging in my pants-calm me down before my heart blows up-looking very forward to the next four years-blissed out.

Troubled. I know it shouldn't matter, but I just don't like how rich and fancy that guy is. Maybe it's the New England important voice or maybe the biking shorts or that he lives off of the rest of us or that he likes to raise taxes and doesn't seem to pay much himself. I just think that guy will really like the state dinners, helicopters, and Air Force One. I'm sure there are bigger issues out there, but I don't want that guy to have the country's best toys.

What I'd really like someone to explain to me is....what makes a kerry supporter think (and yes I've seen/heard this OVER AND OVER again) that our country is going to be safe from terror attacks just because he is president?

What makes Bush supporters think it will be if Bush gets reelected?

And Bush is a poor working class guy? I think both candidates are pretty wealthy, so if thats you big concern neither is a good choice. Also didn't Bush approve a tax cut for some of the wealthiest people in the US? Seems like he doesn't want to pay much in taxes either

as a brit, i would welcome jk having a go. my perception of Bush is "what an idiot" and therfore who is pulling the strings ??? and why ??

well Im a Bush supporter and I dont....my point was I have talked to many Kerry supporters who think that OBL is just gonna disappear and not bother us anymore if he's the one in office....I havent talked to one Bush supporter that thinks that

Angry and Scared knowing that another terrorist attack is coming and 1) Kerry would have cut the defense budget to next to nothing and 2) Wondering if France and Germany will give the go-ahead for America to defend itself.

Ok, well IMHO any Kerry (Or Bush) supporter who thinks the country is going to be safe if respective candidate gets elected are just stupid. Of course terror isn't just going to go away because someone becomes or not become the president. The real question is which candidate can do a better job securing the country.
