How George Bush's victory catapaulted liberal Britain into collective depression
The mistake we all made was in getting our hopes up. Until lunchtime on Tuesday, in accordance with the rules of superstition, lay supporters of John Kerry kept their outlook pessimistic. In bones, waters, winds and related vapours across the land, the election was divined by pro-Democrats to be in the bag for Bush. This is what is known as preparing a soft landing; it is measured in units of unhatched chicks....

Stand And Fight
One thing we can say for certain at this point, after the grieving, the anger, is that the country is still bitterly divided.
We saw two turnouts and Two Nations last night. Both sides of the chasm saw a major turnout of its voting base. Karl Rove talked about creating a permanent Republican majority. But the truth is, he has a divide-and-rule strategy. And the electoral college amplifies the rural, socially conservative vote. (Twenty percent of voters considered "moral values"--...

Resistance to the Emerging Fascism Going Beyond the Polls
For several months, one of my brothers, who is a bit prone to hyperbole, kept insisting that speculation about the election was meaningless, basically because it wasn’t going to happen. He was absolutely convinced that the Bush regime would manufacture some excuse to postpone or cancel the election in a bid to stay in power. However, I did not consider his proposal paranoid (for reasons that should now be obvious to the whole world) and in hindsight, even hyperbole may have been a bit harsh. ...

There is no way this can be called anything but a defeat
There is simply no way to sugarcoat the bad news. The 2004 General Election was
in every way a disaster. It was a disaster for political progressives and the left.
It was a disaster for civil liberties and freedom. It was a disaster for workers.
The biggest disaster of all is that it brings us one step closer to Fascism in America
and we're already too damn close....

Wendy Campbell: Live on the Meria Heller Show on Nov. 3, 2004!
Meria Heller was urged by her listeners to interview me. She had already read many of my articles. Her ex-husband was Jewish, so she refuses to be bothered by anyone who calls her "anti-Semitic", a term we both agreed has been way overplayed and as a tool by Zionists to try to squelch criticism of Zionism, Israel and US support of Zionist Israel....
