- This country is going to suffer for the next 4 years and this country is going to have to pay for the consequences of this election, if they think that Bush cares for the American people especially the "minorities" they are sadly mistaken. Bush is a liar, he claims to be a christian but he hates black people. Yes he stands correct on the moral issue but that doesnt mean that he is the right man for the job. Look what he did to us that last 4 years>>>its only going to get worse. Bush is not stupid, now that he is re-elected he is going to try his best to screw the americans hard and fast. Dont the Americans see that Bush is only fighting in Iraq because of a personal vendetta with George Bush's father and Saddom Hussain. Well I hope this country learns is lesson. If oil prices goes up, which they will! and there is no higher pay and there is a tremendous loss in jobs within the next four years or months you can give thanks to those damn Bush supporters. (idiots)!
