Well the only reason I opened the thread was to smart off by answering "the American people" but you already have that as a choice, so really there's absolutely no point to this post whatsoever.

Numbers wise it will be "D" of course. In terms of severity, if Bush wins, the several members of the SDMB chapter of the Brotherhood of Bush BashersTM may be the biggest losers. Depending on whether they choke on their own bile, wear their poor fingers off posting in The Pit, or simply smile and revel in the opportunity for four more years of bitchin'.

Who is this mysterious "They" that you refer to? As far as I can tell, it was the American people who were active in politics that chose Kerry by, well, voting for him.

And really, there were a LOT lousier choices out there.

Funny, I was going to say the same thing.

This post brought to you by the "me too" foundation of America.

I "me too" Otto, too.

Anyway, it's always the American Public that loses and it will continue to be so until something is done about the entire business of politics. That's what it's become, a business. Politicians have forgotten what the purpose of being an elected official is all about, doing what's best and right for the American people. They only seem to remember it at election time when they make sure to quote that statement "doing what's best and right for the American people" a lot, then they get into office and do what fits their agenda or what their party or big businesses want them to do.

We never seem to be choosing who is best for the job, it always seems to be a choice between the lesser of two "evils".
