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.
The DUmmies are imploding.

counselor tells this nut about the terrible possibilites?
Is this all by the SAME person??
good job.. They are pitiful.
And these quotes were just from the MSM journalists !!! Imagine what the rank-n-file Dems are really saying !!!
Yes, I'm having a very hard time coping. I want to be a good winner, but I also want to gloat. I am going to cope right now and not gloat.
Just in passing: "Bite me."
It has been a GREAT day! At my work, with mostly libs in my office, I walked around with a big smile on my face all day! I love it when the dems are depressed!
LOL...good one.
Fencers are a tough breed. We would do better in the Olympics if they started us at a decent age here, like about 4!
Not taking down Saddam Hussein for something Osama specifically did is like not taking down Paul Castellano for something John Gotti specifically did.
They're all in the same business, MORON. Never mind the soldiers in the street....you go after the heads - ALL OF THEM - to dismantle the organization, MORON.
Tell'em that without the 'war' we'd not be able to begin to export our EPA guidlines to them in the mid east. That place is a trash can for the whole world.
Feelings, oh-oh-oh, feelings, oh-oh-oh. A toxic mix of angst, paranoia, and powdered donuts.
I just pity this idiot's child, growing up with this narcissistic, unstable, histrionic adolescent. He'll grow up before she will.
"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."
This person pays for this advice?
WE probably pay for it.
I bet the "dear friend" the "puke" never had need of counseling.
Uh-huh. Do you know that your sympathy is wasted on people like this, and much like yelling at your football team on TV, this person can't hear you?
This reminds of Lloyd Bridges in "Airplane"
MCrosky : This is going to be a real sweat. Genderson, let me know when you get anything. Got a cigarette Nelson? I can't take much more of this. Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines. Johnny, how about some more coffee?
"I'm in there under deep cover.... shhhhhh"
Heck, you probably don't even need to change your screen name when there.
I have a 4 year old.
He makes me pull out his grandaddy's VMI parade sword just to hold or his great great uncle's WWI Hun sword brought back from the battlefield (along with a ruined life from being gassed)
Boys and blades (or guns)....I have a nice Stryder long knife and a Gerber Bowie....have to keep those out of his way too.
I think fencing is a wonderful sport for mind and body.
