I apologize but I'm taking great joy from there misery over there. A few samples for your perusal....
I am such a mess. Physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually.
I had no idea this would hit me so hard. I feel that all my hopes for the future have been shattered. Evil, hate and greed are rewarded. Wrong is Right. Fascism will prevail. Not to mention increased terrorism, hate crimes, isolation from the global community, loss of civil rights, etc.
AND, we have to look and listen to the f**king Chimp for another 4 long, miserable years. I don't know what to do. I am really beside myself and almost feel like I am on the verge of a nervous breakdown.I am sick to my stomach and I feel like I am going to have a heart attack.
I started smoking again, I can't bear the thought of going to work tomorrow, and I really don't have much hope at the moment. I can't eat, I've cocooned myself in my bed all day and have avoided every phone call. Oh - and I broke up with my boyfriend. You are not alone.
My heart feels like it's actually broken and I am afraid to leave the house because I am not in control of the rage I feel, and fear that the smallest thing will set me off.
I always thought that things were never quite as bad as they seemed, and that Americans were mostly good. But I think things have really turned... they are perhaps even worse than they seem, and perhaps the American empire is entering its terminal phase with a lot of pain and suffering ahead.
It feels an awful lot like what I imagine Berlin in 1938 was like.
I'm so venomous right now, I swear I'm growing fangs.
I have a background of depression (mostly from my days of living closeted) and am worried that the funk that I am dealing with might go long term. I cannot let that happen.
To that end, I am going to continue to devote a good chunk of time with a couple causes, to keep me going.
If things get really tough, get a really good friend or family member and just let go.
My son didn't want to go to school today
and face the jeers of his 6th grade classmates in our predominantly republican rural community. I bought him a donut at the local shop and reminded him that we still have to tell people that the war is wrong, that the poor need an advocate and that our planet is not their trashcan.
After pushed him out the door I had to give myself the same speech.
That sums things up beautifully
"we still have to tell people that the war is wrong, that the poor need an advocate and that our planet is not their trashcan."
Of course, unfortunately, the Pukes simply don't think these things are important. I just got off the phone with a dear friend who keeps insisting Iraq had something to do with 9/11 and if we "don't fight them over there we'll have to fight them here".
This is how Bush wants you to feel and he's hoping you'll go away, don't go away, in four years time USA will still be suffering from his policies, the economy and Iraq will still be great problem.
As I see it, whatever they say, it isn't a landslide, almost half the American people wanted a change, there were people who didn't vote, which is unforgivable, they may rue the day they didn't and will be there next time, in force.
I hope that we will get a chance in 4 yrs. I am angry, but not sure who to be mad at. I feel like Kerry played us and took one for the team (s and B)with no intention of ever winning. I don't know where to turn I told my friend to take pictures of the trees and all the open areas of beauty around us now because it won't be their for long. I fear for our troops and the kids that are going to be drafted. I applied for passports for my family today just in case I need. I think Democracy died yeasterday in America I never wanted to believe it could happen. There are protesters here in oregon tonight. I am still in shock. I don't like the mixed up feelings that I have because I have no way of seperating them all.
Don't mean to sound trite, but I share your pain.
I had an appointment with my counselor today, and she encouraged me to not look too far in the future and the terrible possibilities it holds.
I managed to calm down and try to focus on the things that bring me some small measure of contentment. It is very hard--the more I hear about Tuesday's fiascos and the evil people who made them happen, the angrier and more frustrated I get. This is producing physical symptoms similar to yours. It's up to me to get a handle on this, I know, but damn, it's hard. Like you, I cannot bear the thought of looking and listening to Bush for the next four years. I have determined I will NOT do that. Thank God for remote controls.
I wish I had the words to make you and me feel better about all this. But I do not. All I can think to do is resolve to do everything I can to stop the fascist juggernaut that is speeding toward us. I must try, for my children, grandchildren, and all of us who share this planet.
We've made some progress and that's a start. :)
I agree. That was the reason I included that one, because it shows how warped they are.
Here are some more recent ones:
I would have to agree with you. I think they went overboard. It was like each time they tried to smear Bush, it backfired of them. I think most sensible people are willing to cut Bush some slack. He has had a rough first term and it wasn't his fault and he's doing a pretty good job considering.
Switch and Bait?
That could be!
How's the suicide watch coming? I'm fixin to relax, but I keep seeing RAT attorneys swarming everywhere when I close my eyes...YIKES! :)
First, she lives in OR so she should have plenty of company to share her rage. Secondly, even if Kerry had won, her life would still be a mess. Estranged boyfriend (not to mention where the heck the father of the 6th grade son is), smoking, in therapy.....sounds like Kerry's loss is the least of her problems.
Will these idiots ever learn that homosexuality is an offense against not only morality but also biology? One does not have to be a member of the religious right to understand the improprieties here. Besides, these folks are deluded if they think the "relgious right" is going to hunt them down and put them in jail.
Excellent point! I can tell you from the whining and crying at another Dim forum I peruse at the ACLU they are still lamenting the election results and are predicting doom and gloom. Some are already claiming we are living in a *one-party dictatorship*---of course if ya mention the fact they got to vote freely for someone else just a couple of days ago...they go ballastic.
At times I feel like I'm reading a Mel Brooks movie script!
Abosutely! They also think that if you have strong morals that you automatically are some sort of religious fanatic. That's isn't the case.
Check this crap out. I am so tired of the lies from the other side!
Couldn't agree more. Keep up the good fight! :)
What do you mean by "switch and bait?"
Stickman, I agree. This is going to get worse and worse because the DUmmies see this as a monarchy. They feel that since they did not win in a head to head match up that somehow they were cheated. This is going to lead down a slippery road in my opinion. The civil discourse is going to be out the window.

I think none of these peolpe actually know any Christians. Why are they so afraid of us!?! They think we're all greedy, want everbody to die, or be imprisoned. Oh, we want to destroy the planet, exploit the poor, become isolationist, when we aren't out conquering other nations. MY GOODNESS!
They're all brain washed!
If i wanted to read it, I'd go there and read it. I don't want to read it there, and I want to read it here even less.
I am amazed at the out right hatred spewing from the DUmmies! I don't know what I expected. They really are lunatics. We seriously, seriously need to pray for GWB's safety these next four years.
I agree.
