You may have noticed that instead of changing my screen name to something smartarse and relevant, I have gone for a straightforward formulation which incorporates the two words which we all want to see everywhere in November. Should we all do this, it is possible that we may just help nudge the ratio of "Bush loses" to "Bush wins" sites found by Google by an infinitesimal amount, and so reverse the cascade trend (after ONE PUNDIT called it falsely for the ape-boy) which invalidly declared him a winner in 2000.
Look, there's a giant!

Stoatie, I thank you (Bush loses to Kerry) for your help. We all feel deeply for your (Bush Loses to Kerry) recent loss and hope that in some (Bush loses to Nader) small way that we might help you feel better by ensuring that BUSH LOSES! Dogs rock, Bush sucks.

Hurrah! Great name, kid! Anyway, Google currently has a 216k Bush Loses to 626k Bush W*ns ratio. Keep up the good work and let's see what happens! Nighty night.

Wouldn't it have more utility to, instead of just ending up pointing to a "we don't like Bush" page, to rather post links, along the lines of

or

Frankly, I don't really care about Kerry. I doubt he'll be amazing. I'm assuming this time the Dems will cut a deal with Nader, so he'll have to make some environmental concessions. The issue is, he ain't George.

I remember a time when I wanted to move to the U.S.. I remember a time when the notion of America gave me warm, fuzzy, safe feelings. I remember thinking "if only our guy was more like the U.S. guy". Sure, there was stuff needed doing, and it was going to be a hard fight, but that's democracy.

Wow, does that seem a long time ago.

I still admire the U.S. system and the people I know there. But now the words 'U.S. foreign policy' make me afraid and angry.

Let's just get someone else in the big chair, and maybe there's some real work we can get done.

No. You're right. The sad thing is that saying something like that out lloud sounds utterly laughable. Which, when you think about it, is utterly appalling.

It's not so good. In any other country, you'd assume a show with a brief like The West Wing's would be biting, cruel satire, as opposed to what it seems like, a cry for help.

There hasn't been anyone even vaguely competent in the big chair since Richard Nixon ( who'd have ended the Cold War at least a decade earlier, I'm guessing, if he hadn't got into trouble over what, after all, were just errors of taste, at least compared to what his successors have routinely got away with - There's an outside chance that Nixon might have resigned over the head of the Iran/Contra thing, for example. )

Still, there's no point being nostalgic, so in the absence of much else to do, I am changing my name to something that would hopefully upset Dubya, if I ever met him, the silly ****.

Bandwagon ahoy!

(Though I almost typed it in as "Sekhmet Loses Bush", which would have been not only embarrassing, but untrue.)

I want America to know that when I win the election, I will tie Bush up and make him an attraction at an S&M club, where he may be gently prodded with pointy sticks.

Thankyouandgoodnight.

Oh, I feel so childishly happy with this thread. Even more so when I find sites like:

Bush loses poll of hispanics

Bush loses poll (and, it appears, a yo-yo)

Bush loses ability to crush democratically elected central American governments
and so on.
You've all made me so proud.

Dammit, I'm in.

I told myself when I registered that I wasn't going to go around changing my name every 15 minutes (or 28 days, whatever), but hell.

Anyone feel like volunteering with the Republican Party to drive GOP voters to the polls, then just dropping them off somewhere else instead? :P
