Election

So I've been desperately trying to wrap my head around the events of Tuesday.  As some have pointed out, although more people voted for George Bush in the history of voting a president into office, more people also voted against him in the history of voting a president into office. That's small consolation to the folks who poured their hearts and souls into the Kerry campaign, of course, but it is consolation.
Whatever party you're from, I hope you can admit what has been lacking in this country lately is the truth about what's happening. What's happening with the economy, what's happening in Iraq, what's happening to our civil rights, what happened with Halliburton, what's happening to the environment, what's happening with the tax cuts, the list goes on. Now I realize that truth is always a bit in the eye of the beholder, but if our country is run by people who insist on seeing things as black and white, then I expect some black and white answers about issues that affect this country. I think this is an area where Bush is sorely lacking (he'll barely hold a press conference), and I hope all Americans push for accountability in the next four years.
