How Arrogant!

Oh, gang up on me because I wasn't wearing my glasses!!!!!


As Emily Litella would say, "Never mind.."


:D

I didn't see the "arrogant" actions of our President last night. I did hear that he was allowing a few press members up to the residence, but I had to leave for a football game and didn't see it, nor did I see it repeated as I watched later in the evening. So I can't comment. I have not seen arrogance in President Bush, though (ok, I know my rivals are laughing at that comment), but I truly haven't. I have seen confidence and a human side that is sentimental and caring. I hope he can take the next four years and really concentrate on issues now, rather than having to worry about an election.

Just a little while ago when I took Helen to the orthodontist, she was very interested in listening to the radio (talk radio, which is usually changed quickly by her). She asked me, "what would happen if one day there were no parties, just one?" (she actually asked me what would happen if one day there were no Democrats). I told her it would be a much more united and strong country if everyone could be supportive and that the party in charge could embrace ALL Americans, or it could mean that the public had been "shushed" and we were in a communist society, rather than a democratic one. She and I prefer the first idea. I just wonder what our children think after watching all of this closely and seeing the mud slinging that goes back and forth. I have tried to remain very open minded and non-confrontational here on Pet Talk, which is the only forum I visit that has even ventured off into political discussions. I'm not 100% Republican, nor am I liberal either. I just tried to make an informed decision in my voting, based on the candidate who most embraced the values I hold as important. I got "lucky" this time. Every candidate that I voted for yesterday won.

Get the email addy's, snail mail addy's and phone numbers for your Congressional reps (senator and representatives) and keep an eye on the news. This will be a big deal when it happens and when it does, let your reps know whether you like or dislike the nominee and exactly what'll happen to their job if they don't listen to their constituents--they'll be out of a job come re-election.

In my case, that would be Sen. John Kerry!:eek:

"Senator Kerry, you need to go back and undo what you just let happen!":D

Sandra, does he get to go back to his Senate seat now? I was thinking about that earlier and wondering if he could reclaim it after campaigning all this time, or did he have to resign it? I know that Jim DeMint, who was in the US House of Representatives (SC) had to resign before he could run for the Senate? Do you know the answer? And when does Kerry's Senate term end?

He still has his seat, but I'm not sure when the term ends.

People were saying he is conceding so early so he won't look bad since he is still holding his seat.

Hi Logan! Congratulations:) As Aly has said, yes, he's still a Senator (didn't resign his seat when ran, whick irked a lots of MA residents) and will resume that role...tomorrow?;) I believe his term ends in another 4 years!

Actually, it's not what he said. It's the fact that he invited the press in, which is highly unprecedented (sp?). Ok guys, come on in so you can watch me gloat.

*crawls out of the woodwork!*
He invited them BEFORE they had any idea he would win. For all he knew, they would be there to see him lose!

I will now crawl back into the woodwork!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and then we'd see his "weasel in the headlights" look :rolleyes: :p

lol now I just wish Canada could vote on the US elections! lol they way Kerry would have won by a landslide(only 9.1% of canadians support Bush compared to 74.something% for Kerry lol) I too am not looking forward to another 4 years with this idiot.

Oh really? Hmm . . .

I've always thought of Bush as a very arrogant person. You can just see the arrogance on his face. I'm listening to him right now and he has arrogance in his tone.

BCBlondie, I'm with you. I'm not complaining either....I'M SCARED.

:p

Oh well.....I'll just put my trust in God and hope for the best. Maybe this is a test for all of us. ;)

Thanks :D You, Pam, and Sandra were some of the first people I met at PT and so I look up to you as my "PT moms" and I don't want to get you guys mad at me or get grounded!! ;)

We were obviously not listening to the same speech. :confused: He was appreciative and short in his words. I am surprised that you found that to be arrogant!

I agree to disagree, and I'll try to stay out of this discussion, going forward.

What do you think Logan??? Do we ground her???;) Aly, we love ya:)

Thanks Aly. You know I consider you a friend as well and have for many years now. :) I really wish we could get the focus off politics now that the election is over. It has dragged the boards down quite a bit.

*HUGS* to all. No hard feelings. Now that Bush is officially President, I'm not going to publicly bash him (I will in private though! ). I'm just hoping and praying for what is best for OUR country :)

Get clicking, girl! There are bird and dog pictures, posted by me! If the cats weren't hiding from me, I'd add some of them too!!! :D

I think its great we can all come here and share our views on politics, even me on the other side of the world, giving my opinions, and I am glad no-one has said,'What does it matter to you" because it sure does.

For me it has been interesting reading all your threads, learning more about each candidate and how the American people view them, thank you for letting me be part of that.

As for Bush and his media antics, well I guess there is nothing like having confidence in yourself and your party,so I cannot berate him for that, I guess for some it is seen as arrogance and for others as I have mentioned above.

Let us all hope Bush does well for the American people and the rest of the world,but I am not holding my breath..

This is a funny site. www.marryanamerican.ca

Ha Ha that is so funny...I would sign up but hubby might get a bit ticked off lol.:)

All i can say is "pray for whirled peas"...nuff said.

QSA what on earth does that saying mean, is it American humour? prey tell me, I am curious? lol.:) ;)

Psst, carole - read this aloud quickly:

Pray for whirled peas



get it yet?





(pray for world peace)

I'll be praying for 'whirled peas' too. :D

Aww I get it, that is so cute, I thought maybe it was an american saying , but it is so simple.

Ok, I've read every page here and I have a question (even though I know everyone has promised to go about their business and post some pics of their little sweeties!).

I agree with DDM when she says:

What good does it do to go out and vote if it's not going to count anyway?

---

This year was my first year voting and for the life of me I can't seem to understand how without all the votes from all the states in how we can say who is president now:confused:

Would anyone care to inform me how exactly the electorial votes work?

Oh, and I wanted to add this:
No, I didn't vote for Bush and I agree with Aly when she said:

This should explain it pretty thoroughly. I found it when I was needing a refresher myself! :)

Hey! Thanks Micki:D

Of COURSE he KNEW he was going to win. He KNEW he was going to win in 00 too. :rolleyes:

Just keep telling yourselves, only 4 more years... just hope that whoever come in in 08 (GO HILARY!) can fix this country.

Oh, Good Grief! What are you talking about when you say "he KNEW"???? How could anyone know??? He won the popular vote, for goodness sake, which did NOT happen in 2000. It just amazes me how some people want to try and ridicule the election results when it was so evident what the majority voted for!
