listen to it either. I was so sad when listening to Gore's speech in 2000.

9. No. I know what his theme will be. "Let's unite the country, blah bla bla"
and I can't bear hearing that. I'll listen to the reviews of it here on DU later. Besides, I have to get some work done or I'll starve.

12. No. I've dedicated hours of my life to his cause.
I already know what he's going to do.

There's nothing he can say to me. Now or ever.

20. No. If he's not getting to the bottom of the vote fraud...
...then he doesn't deserve my time right now.

Besides, I couldn't take it. I'm still drunk, for Christ'sake.

23. No
And not because I don't retain the highest respect for him. I just don't want to hear him speak the words. And it's undoubtedly much harder for him to give, than it would be for us to hear, so call that a moment of weakness on my part if you want. But I'm conserving energy for the fight to come.

28. You're kidding right?
Nah I have work to do.....I've wasted enough of my time and money fooling myself. I'll be damned if I'm going to listen to some looser telling me I should join hands and sing kumbaya with fascists..."for the good of the nation".

I shall be investing my time attempting to scrape enough money together to get the hell out of this place before someone comes knocking on my door to insist I take a train ride to Camp Freedom for Patriotic reeducation.

33. There is no such thing as a loser
When you try you are a winner. And we all tried.

All right, I know that sounds REALLY trite but the negativity is pmo.

47. I agree with you.
We aren't losers! And "pmo" ,,describes me, too.

I can't listen to his speech, though..not right now.

Gore's was magnificent and I'm sure Kerry's will be, too, but it's too soon to take it, today.

31. I will listen to him because
I hope to hear him say that we will continue the fight! There are millions of us and we can stay united. We CAN hold * accountable. Are all of you jumping ship just because we lost this round? I am 53 years old. The only president I voted for who won was Clinton and we saw what they did to him. You are wimps. Come on get a grip. Its going to take guts, time and effort to beat this machine. Wisdom is the best gift this result gives us. We need to learn from our mistakes and move on. I would love for Kerry to be the one to lead us. Lets fight everyday!!!! We still have Air America, DU, the volunteer groups and leaders who are STILL with us. If we give up, we have nothing. We have just begun the fight!!!

41. No fuckin' way. When I went to bed at 4:30 am, he had said he'd fight,
and see that every vote was counted, and I expected him to do so. When I got on my 'puter at noon, after finally climbing out of bed full of dread and despair, and saw that he conceded, I screamed and screamed and screamed. I'm still screaming inside. HE CAVED.

we are so deeply fucked...

46. Nope. Voting for him wore my nose plug out.
It took all I had to overlook his pathetic IWR vote and the rest of the pandering he did to the right and vote for him.

Now he'll have time to go kill another goose and make the NRA happy.
