Then I'm sure you know that most of them are liberals.

These people need to get a life! If they can't deal with a candidate (they don't even know) losing an election they are in big trouble.

Oh, but you are completely missing the point! These people have REASON to feel depressed. Their sadness and fears for the future need to be validated by numerous articles BECAUSE all the people writing them AGREE with the idea that we are now doomed because W is President for 4 more years.

A lot of them are very depressed because they were hoping for a Kerry gravy train of increased grants and programs for "social programs", more university research money to "study why America is so nasty", etc, etc

The political power of the Dem party rests on its ability to pay off its supporters, and impose costs on its opponents. That ability is diminished when they are out of power.

Remember how dependent they were on PAID voter registrants and "get out the vote" people? If they can't supply "walking-around money" to activists in the 2008 cycle, they are toast.

I don't recall 9-11 disturbing these folks this much...

Calling themselves the Tick Task Force, members of the group want to reduce the Island’s tick population by reducing the number of hosts, primarily deer and mice. They also aim to make Martha’s Vineyard a leading center of tick-borne illness education, and treatment.

Chilmark resident Sam Feldman, who spearheaded the small group, was pushed into action after his wife Gretchen contracted Lyme in June. Mr. Feldman, an indefatigable civic activist and donor to Island causes, most recently led the effort to ban mopeds and establish the FARM Institute in Edgartown.

Now Mr. Feldman has turned his attention and energy to the issue of tick-borne diseases. “We were struck by the number of our friends who had Lyme, or Rocky Mountain fever…” said Gretchen Feldman during a conversation in the couple’s home overlooking Chilmark Pond. “One after another, they were dropping like, er, ticks.”

Mr. Feldman began communicating his concerns and a group was formed. At its inaugural meeting on Oct. 9, members set several goals.

I hope that hundreds of federally funded grief counselors are on hand to minister to the stressed out Democrat functionaries.

"..if Bush had of lost I'll bet 99% of us wouldn't have even considered going to a therapist."

That's right. We would've bought more AMMO!

"Genghis Khan actually, not Conan. . . ."

You're right buwaya, but this is the actual quote as I remember it (couldn't find it in a quick web search):

Q: What is best in life?

A: To kill your enemies, to see those whom they cherish in tears, to ravish their women; that is what is best in life.

As written in The Secret History of the Mongols this quote came from a dialog between Genghis Khan and his principal administrator Yeh Liu Chu Tsai. Genghis Khan's answer was actually not a reply to the question directly but rather a response to Yeh Liu Chu Tsai's statement that what was best in life was something along the lines of "building works that will endure through generations and which enrich all men."

"Yes! Yesss!! Oh, let me taste your tears...mm, your tears are so yummy and sweet. Oh, the tears of unfathomable sadness! My-ymmuy."

I had to look it up:

“The slogan known to all Palestinians is, ‘Saturday people first and Sunday people next’,” ... “It means if Israel and the Jewish people were ever defeated, Christians will be next.”

[NoClones]

The stealth-commies & liberals should maybe try tinfoil hats & chant, 'Black Helicopters' over and over again!

[thathamiltonwoman]

Disgusting. Who are these people? Where/how were they raised? I was sad when Bill Clinton won because I knew the man from dogpatch would not be a good president but I didnt' flip out over it.

[delacoert]

Pheiffer, Darwin and other mental health professionals said they weren't getting any new patients because of the Kerry defeat

Huh, I guess it's another complete non-story from AP then. Imagine that.

One of the most bizarre aspects of this whole affair remains: Their hatred of Bush is utterly illogical. Setting aside character issues for a moment, and looking strictly at the legislation he's supported, etc., Bush is NOT that far right of Clinton! He worked closely on legislation with Ted Fricking Kennedy! For liberals to have this fervent, vitriolic hatred of him, far more than even the right had for Clinton IMO, is bizarre.

The only thing that makes sense to me is that it's truly a guttural, primitive reaction on their part, as simple as evil freaking out in the presence of good. Make no mistake about it, liberalism is founded in evil, no matter how shiny the coat of "good intentions." The same hatred they've shown for Bush for four years, is now being poured out on the Christians who dared to elect him. Maybe it's just as simple as that in the end, the way a vampire hisses when sunlight hits him.
