All right, I have had it! The fucking elections are over, people. Bush won. Get over it. Your bashing everyone who voted for him or who doesn't hate him is not going to change the fact that he is president for the next 4 years.
We are not going to have a nuclear war. They are not going to start a draft. The fucking world is not going to end. Life goes one as it has the past 4 years, and then we'll get another president as equally hated by all sides.
I've tried to keep out of this out of respect for all my friends, but I am so sick of reading all these depressing, the world is going to end posts. Did I vote? No, I was not able to get my absentee ballot. Who would I have voted for? Bush. Because I don't think he's done a terrible job.
Do I agree with everything he's said? No. Do I agree with the war? No.
But just because I don't like it doesn't mean it isn't necessary. And for anyone out there who wants to bash me, let me remind you that my fiance and my best friend are over in Iraq right now, with the chance of myself going over there very high. So if anyone should be mad, it should be me!
I don't care what your politcal fascination is. I don't care if you rant and rave on your lj. Its your private playground, say what you want. But for goodness sake, don't bash other people because we don't agree with you.
I have read several posts today from people who are thinking of quiting lj because of this.
Is this what you want from our country? To be devided like kids on the playground because the person you wanted didn't win?
Unfriend me if you want. Tell me how terrible a person I am. But I for one got my lj because I love hobbits, not politics. The world goes on.

I would never block you from my LJ just because you didn't agree with me. I also post my life on the journal, but I was upset because so many people were bashing those who did not vote the same way they did. I don't care if they bash the president, or the war, but I do take offense to those people bashing other people.
I'm sorry I haven't friended you, I thought I had! My mind is like a cheese grater, and would probably slip out if not for my thick skull.
I know people are just venting, but I was just sick of all the doom and gloom posts and the bashings.

Thanks for friending me. I'm glad there is nothing too un-friend-worthy in my LJ :).

I hope we can all be hopeful about the future no matter how our politics are.

This whole business is making me wait for ROTK EE even more.
