My subject is stated because I've tried to take an objective view to this past election. But here is my point. I don't think this past election has been a waste UNLESS, we (Americans) learn from the mistakes made in this election. We obviously need to do something to standardize ballot formats for all states. That would eliminate the spoiled and confusing ballot issue. We also need to work on a ballot recount process and proceedure. This would eliminate tying the mess up in the courts. I know this may seem odd but I must pose a question to both Rebuplicans and Democrats alike. Do you think that either side would settle for losing the election by less than 1000 votes with out seeking due process. Not hardly. How many Millions of dollars did people contribute to those campaigns. Those contributors would not allow them the (canidates)to lay down with out a fight. I personnally would be pissed if my canidate rolled over after pumping $$$$$ into his campaign. It might look ugly to the rest of the world, screw em. I still wouldn't trade the USA for any other country; especially after faithfully serving in the armed forces (USAF) for over 19 years and being sent to just about every S*** hole possible. But to sum it up. This election will be a waste and embarrassment if we walk away and keep doing buisness as usual. I am a Rebulican and all of this is of course IMHO!!!
