What an awful way to wake up this morning. I have a sense of disbelief about what has happened. I am trying to do my morning chores but I can physically feel my heart hurting and my head pounding. It is unreal. I feel I am not really living this and instead this is some hallucination.
And yet, the day must go on. I have to get ready, go to work and meet clients. So to get over this election hangover (and a fair bit of Glenlivet last night) I am going to do the following:
1. Pray 2. Go for a run 3. Not watch any TV or listen to any Radio 4. Take a giant Excederin for my headache
How is everyone else handling this? Please post what you are all doing to keep functioning
Don’t even try to put a happy face on it; we’re screwed.
I forgot about that too. Wonderful....
I may feel “liberated” later, but right now I’m short on sleep and feel like I’ve taken a punch to the gut.
For Michigan, it was a GOP bloodbath. We lost a good one - Tim Walberg (7th District) to a liberal Mark Schauer, who will bring his love of tax hikes to DC. Joe Knollenberg lost, too.
Hope everyone likes Michigan’s economy woes. They’re on their way to you very soon.
Concur with your thoughts exactly. The USSA was born 11/04/2008.
He as gutless and we all knew it. The Republican party can Kiss my you know what for allowing this. Sorry they will never get a penny from me again. We need a new party!
GO TO THE RANGE! Practice. Then, practice some more. Envision any one you like to be downrange. It'll help, I'm sure.
I agree, we’re screwed. Now I’m even grumpier AND now depressed as well. How will I get through the day at work. I want to go back to bed and wake up from this nightmare!
Mac is an honorable man. I have nothing bad to say about him. He ran a tough campaign, but lost.
I found out this morning after I woke up. Before I even got out of bed, I turned on the TV. I heard it immediately.
I was sick.
I somehow managed to make the bed, take a shower and dress and get to work.
The only comforting this is that pretty much ALL of my co-workers share my misery.
One of the military guys reminded me that they take an oath to defend the constitution, not the president or the Congress.
That gave me hope.
I never get headaches. By 8:00pm PST, I had a headache last night.
I slept for about an hour. I woke up realizing it’s time to acknowledge our defeat, recognize where mistakes were made, and devise a plan to turn this around in two, four, and six years.
Obama will be President. We will have to counter his goals.
Thank heaven, he couldn’t pull off a super-majority folks.
That may save our bacon countless times over the next few years.
Lots of like minded folks there.
I wonder how bozo will swear that he will try to uphold the Constitution of the United States. We know damned well he won’t.
My thoughts are with you folks.
Goodbye Free Republic! I need a break, I have to figure out what I am feeling...Its depressing and I am not sure what this all means. where we wrong? Was it all a lie?
How could so many people be fooled? Or is it us? Nothing from the Birthc Cert. Nothing from Whitey Tape? Odinga?
Muslim? Socialist? I dont know anymore. all I know is my children question whether I am going to continue spewing right wing junk...and my mom is scared to death, and I dont know why I told her any of this, when every Republican including McCain will just turn around and pretend like nothing happened...they will go back to their lives and we are left with the pieces!
I will never get this tied up into a campaign. I am tired, I havent had anything to eat in two days, I cant sleep...and last night I almost threw up....meanwhile people are celebrating...African Americans are crying because they feel justice and peaace/// I saw more white people celebrating....and I am sick? Nah! I got to make sence of this......Joe the plumber...he was great....poor Sarah...I hope we didnt ruin her chances in the future...with the Redneck stuff and allowing people to humiliate her. I will pray and try for the next month to stay away from FR and TV and get closer to God.
Good Luck and God Bless America....My family doesnt know me anymore time to reconnect.
It may take a few days. I know you’re burned out right now and it hurts. I look forward to seeing you back here soon.

I hope Obama stays healthy. Can you imagine what would happen in this country if the SOB died soon, even of natural causes? His death would be the spark in a box full of dynamite. Really, really scary.
God was not dethroned!
