Is it safe to come out yet?

[Canadian Socialist]

I just want to congratulate everyone here (well, at least the USians!) on this fantastic election. Although I don't quite grasp the nuances of American politics, I did stay up late trying very very hard to understand what was going on. So, the good guys won, eh?:toast: :party:

[terrya]

1. Oh, yes....the good guys definitely won.

And thank you. :-)

[niyad]

2. thank you--now we won't have to be moving up to your area right

away. we have a lot of work to do down here first.

[tavalon]

3. Yep, eh

Definitely. And today we found out that we ran the table in Congress. We got the Senate also. This administration is so busted!

[Mythsaje]

4. Yep. The Republic struck back

and the Empire is staggered.

The Chimperor and Darth Cheney are still stinking up the WH with their foul psychic miasma, but perhaps we can contain them well enough to survive the aftermath.

6. good guys...

Well, let's say that the group in Washington will be a bit more sane than the last crop. There are some who are better, some who are really very good, and some who suck; but generally things should be better for the average American and for the world in general.

I'm a bit hard pressed to say, however, that every one of them mutts are wearing the bright white hat and deserves a shiny star labeled "good guy". But we are all certainly a bit more relaxed at the outcome...

9. I agree, GregD

to be completely honest, even your most "liberal" of Democrats seems quite right-wing to me! heeee. But, baby steps, my friends... baby steps.

[Matariki]

12. heh! - couldn't agree with you more ;-)

[bobbolink]

15. You're so right on that!

We on DU just LOVE being called "Leftist Fringe". :thumbsdown:

Can you tell me what's so fringe about decent living wage, Universal Health Care, education for all who desire it, good housing for all citizens, etc?

What is *with* that?

I really wish I lived in a sane country!

7. We the People won.

on edit: to fix the beer

8. Hey, not just for the USians

This win is a win for the world.

[GregD]

13. u betcha

I find myself wanting to write to the world and appologize for not putting an end to the bullshit earlier than this, but we did it when we could...

[WritingIsMyReligion]

10. Yes, they did.

:P

Don't worry--American poltiics give ME a headache, and I'm American.

[lonestarnot]

11. Races were damn close we shouldn't get too full of ourselves.

But WE FUCKING DID IT! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! :applause: :toast: :party: :bounce: :woohoo: :beer:

14. You probably understand more than 46% of Americans do!

Thanks you. And we wont be flooding your labor pool now too! I had scoped out moving there pretty seriously if you guys would have us.

Anyway, thanks for caring! But keep checking back.
