There is a difference between being upset and being obnoxious to the other side.
There is even a difference between whining and being obnoxious to the other side.
And while you keep saying you didn't vote for him, that's fine but not only did your state vote for him but also 3 million more people in America voted for him over Kerry. This, while you may not like it, is how the presidency turned out. I still encourage people to be active citizens so issues they care about will be adopted by their political representatives and hopefully you will feel represented.

First off, it hasn't even been 24 hours, I feel as someone who didn't vote for his butt four years ago and didn't vote for him this year has a right to be slightly perturbed by the turn of events.
Plus, if Kerry had won y'all would be complaining about him winning, so why is it that we can't complain and express our opinions?
I'm sorry that our opinions aren't the same, but you are all about saying we need to respect each other but you can't respect that we DIDN'T VOTE FOR HIM!!
I didn't put him in office. My state did.
To cash78mere: I feel ya. I think these next four years are going to be incredibly long and depressing (now this is my personal opinion and I get that others aren't going to agree with it, but you should at least respect that it's my opinion). Heck, we'll probably be in a war the entire time. (Yes, I do have a problem with the war considering my brother is being sent overseas to fight in a war that he doesn't support and that he might LOSE HIS LIFE OVER).
Now, if I'm misreading your comments, I'm sorry. This is just how I have perceived them. If I have read them wrong, I'm willing to "listen".
