Why couldn't have Kerry won???

ugh!

There is a message board that i go to and have been going to for so long. I've lost so many online friendships there due to this Bush/Kerry crap! I can't post any news articles that may reflect bad on Bush or they flip out and say that the "bush bashing is old" etc. the other dems don't even speak up.

I'm so tired of this. My family became 9/11 republicans, I had to quit a yahoo group b/c I got into it at election time with someone... now it looks like I can't even go to this message board anymore either because these bush supporters don't like me, and have said to many hurtful things.

Its hard to bottle things up when you feel your feelings so powerful kwim?

you should see the news and debate section of this place... I have posted a few Bush articles, but mostly post other stuff. And the few Bush articles I post are always legit and well written news articles.

I don't understand their mentality??

oh well just a vent

1. Wow You have my sympathy

My real life community of friends, relatives and family are mostly liberal. Though some (well many) have said I should get over it, they are really unhappy with the Bush victory.

All the same, in addition to thinking that the country would be healing itself rather than becoming more troubled had Kerry won, there are weird times when I get intense pangs of regret that are not even logical. (ie seeing the 5th year of woman's magazines - that I would never buy - having their May issues highlighting Laura, I guess as the model mother. (Well, look how well she did with the twins.) Until this year, I had no reaction seeing them while waiting in grocery lines, now it's a visceral - This should be the brilliant, caring, NOT PLASTIC Teresa) Doesn't make sense to care about a magazine I don't get, but somehow I need to look away.

But it's great to be able to come here and know others feel the same. Also, seeing all the posted articles on what Kerry is doing makes it better because if he has clearly not given up on the country, we shouldn't either. Though seeing what he is fighting for makes it harder to accept that he is not the awesome President he was born to be.

However from the photos from Texas, Kerry appears to thrive on fighting to do good and he has to know it annoys the Republicans to see him gracefully fight on, proving he is for exactly what he said he was, while Bush is fighting for things he called Kerry a lier on. After seeing so many Bush administration faces warped by hatred, I saw the amazing Kerry photos - Imagine how inspiring this Texas open forum would have been if he were President. A President Kerry speaking to the nation, unafraid of taking questions would have been such a change in atmosphere. Then look at the Bush SS shows.

2. I hope it annoyed the living crap out of Bush

that Kerry was on his home turf. Take that, monkey boy.

3. Not only on Bush's home turf

but smiling, joking, and looking great before a non-filtered audience. I hope Kerry's travels in conjunction with the same letter technique he used on the military amendments at least allow him to force Kids' first bill onto the floor of the Senate.

It's weird that Kerry looked positively radiant in some of the pictures. You could almost picture smiles and gestures like those on election night if he would have won. Bush won, but looks ill. Bush probably wonders where Kerry's energy and enthusiasm comes from.

4. I feel the same way

Sometimes I just ask why and remind myself that things happen for a reason. I just don't understand the reason though. :hi:

5. John Kerry looks like our president.. he is so freakin' classy

everything happens for a reason

that's what i keep telling myself.. there must be a reason there must be a reason.

please please let Bush be uncovered for the lying crook he is!! That's all I ask is that all this stuff comes to light.

and then I can say eat that Bushbots! lol
