pissed off...

It seems that throughout the country, voters who are likely to vote democrat (minorities, elderly, the poor) are being intimidated into not voting - See this example from South Carolina. I'll be honest, this absolutely pisses me off. This is a democracy! If you don't have the votes then get out there and convince people you deserve their vote. Don't coerce people into not voting. If you can't get a majority of the vote then you don't deserve to run the country. Those are the rules. If Kerry doesn't get the votes he needs to win, then I will happily call George W. Bush my president. But if you're willing to disenfranchise voters in order to win, well, that's un-American.
