I can't stand four more years of this insanity.
We have no leader, and we have no hope. Please say something to make me feel better:cry:

2. Patience.
It's only been a week. Something will reveal itself. Take whatever comfort you can in the fact that good people, lots of them, are working very hard right now.

14. I know what you mean. I've called in sick 3 times..
I don't wanna go anywhere. But reading these posts have helped ALOT. I'm feeling better everyday. It's good to know I'm not alone.

7. I have no comforting words for you..
Except to say that I know exactly how you feel. My emotions are up and down, backwards, forwards, inside, out. I know exactly how you're feeling. :shrug:

11. Thanks Guys
I get these little breakdowns every few hours it seems. I just am distraught at what will happen. I haven't even left the house today. I am just so depressed.

Hugs to all of you.:hug:

18. I'm so suspicious now, I think there's some grand plan behind this, too.
I don't trust the regressive extremists.

13. This is the way the right has been feeling for 50 years.
They hated it too. Apparently they finally figured out a way to use wedge issues and fear and best us for a couple of elections.

Fine...now let's call our friends and get back to work. I'm going to dinner with a group Saturday night and it helps to quit focusing on trees.

John Kerry won the second largest number of votes for president and we were only 1.5% away from thinking he was the second coming.

Chase those blues away....after you've cried the last tears.

16. this is an odd comfort-
but if it didn't bother you that Bush won, worse yet if it thrilled you- can you imagine the kind of person you would then be?

either very mistaken- or intentionally denying reality


war is peace- hate is love- democracy is something we can 'export'
pro-life, pro unfounded war- love your neighbor as you want to be loved- bomb the hell out of them, or else insult and exclude them when they don't 'submit' to your perspective?

no thanks- i'll take this hoplessness over being someone who can enjoy invoking such pain and sorrow on others in the name of American, and 'God'-

my son said the luckiest people were those who died on 9/11- every day i see more and more wisdom in his (at that time 18yr. old words)

YOU FEEL- and it hurts, and it sucks, and i understand- but that is what makes you someone who really cares- and has thier eyes wide open, even if the 'view' is hideous-

22. A puppy doggie helps
I had a good cry, and the little puppy licked my tears off my
cheeks. Yes, they're salty, and the puppy heard me making funny
noises and came to find out why. That a little 4 legged descendent
of a wolf is so in touch gives me great hope that life will
survive.... humans? Not so sure....

When in doubt, hug a doggie.

Don't agonize, ORGANIZE!!!!!I am already looking to 2006 and working on people in key places to run for seats we lost and others we need to take.Don't let these bastards do you in. Yes I still have times when I cry about it but all is not lost. Give them a year to musk up some more and their asses will be gone in 06 and 08:kick:

24. What other choice do you have?
Are we going to hold our noses like we did for Gore and Kerry in 2008 or try to elect an unafraid real progressive this time?
