I'm curious why that is. I'm the same as you, in that I know a bunch of techies, and none of them are liberal.
Maybe it's because slashdot has a lot of students? Or lots of unemployed techies?

Will the world remember the election as a statement? No, but hell no. My dear, misguided European friend. Let me tell you what the world will really remember in the years to come:
So, while you might think some political vote will make a mark on the world's memory, in truth, it will be the blood and gore that will leave the longest lasting impression.
Now, you might think that this post was a bit of a flame or troll. And in truth, I had a little fun writing it. But honestly, if you really believe what you posted, then you have to admit that we're not done invading countries.
Perhaps instead you looked at the U.S. election for some sort of apology for the past? My dear little Eurotrash, that would be absurd in America. You see, in America our elections are about the future. We do not apologize, even if we're wrong.
I do appreciate your post, however, since it helps us Republican right-wing wackos gain courage, and claim that we have some mandate or license to run rampage around the world. Keep taunting us, and for God's sake don't try to reason with us. I can assure you, we won't disappoint your expectations.

Nice generalization. Just remember that the people that voted against the incumbent wanted to make a very different statement. Believe you me, it's a very sad day for a lot of US citizens (and residents, like myself)
And actually, about 50% of the VOTERS support Bush, not 50% of Americans.
