didn't the Soviet olympic team get caught cheating one year when the foil started scoring points before the match started or something???

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.
I hear you. I spent much of the day walking around Boston, and it was exhilerating. The swaggering lefties were demoralized and beaten, and the streets were unusually quiet. Never has the city looked more beautiful.
I hope the 6th grader gets some soon.
I was thinking this crap sounded familiar, and then I remember that I was in college during the Reagan years when he was reelected in '84. Yawn.
ROTFLOLPMP
This has more fun than I every dreamed it would be.
Man...I am starting to feel bad for these people. This is really pathetic that people in our great country are so misinfomred or ignorant.
I can understand the sadness...I was feeling some of those things around 2:30pm (exit polls) but these people are losers. Get a life!
Hey, guys...this thread is embarrassing. What would the President say to this person?
Is the right so heartless in victory that we have no grace?
Amazing! They are in a world of their own making, and are not part of reality.
This actually scared me.
Because that is kind of how I would have felt if Kerry had won.
Well, not that bad, but the thought of looking at that man as President for the next four years would have made me start smoking, and maybe drinking (and I don't do either).
I hate myself, but I kinda feel sorry for them.
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
Talk about hate, this loser needs to be put down.
MY SENTIMENTS EXACTLY!! Oh, the glee.... LOL!!!
This proves to me that those gullible enough to fall for the Dem propaganda are mentally unstable to begin with.

That is a very neurotic individual.
Just in passing: "Bite me."
I feel your pain, brother. I've been dying for a gloat all day, but I'm too tired from a restless night to gloat properly.
Well, sometimes I wonder if we are just as crazy as they are, just in an opposite way. I know I was as crazy as anyone could be in 2000, yesterday I did OK, but that was thanks to Mark Levin, and how it all turned out. I still stayed up ALL night and didn't go to work, that wasn't very conservative of me, I'll admit.
And I had to laugh at this part "I applied for passports for my family today just in case I need [them]." Hubby got us passport applications yesterday, just in case! LOL, but of course it was also in case we hit lotto. So Kerry lost and we didn't win. It's all good!
Isn't life grand? Almost no sleep in 48 hours because this smile on my face is keeping me awake.
