I think some very good friends of mine are walking around in a deep clinical depression which they believe their lives have been destroyed by the reelection of the President. Bill Mahr talks about the "bubble" some people live in, but I am seriously concerned with what Fox News has done through propaganda to otherwise sane and intelligent people.

This is not just I am pissed because my candidate lost, but deep seated psychological depression which they seem to be listless and hopeless. It is very important that people get exposed to both points of view, because these people thought that Romney was going to win in a crushing landslide, and they simply have no explanation for what has happened.

What I am observing after the election is far more scarey than I could have ever imagined......propaganda is so manipulative, but I never imagined this response.

It happened in 2000 as well.

I'm not happy myself with the results but Americans voted and we have to respect our system of government. It's sad that some people go nuts over an election.

I just got an email from a very good golf buddy who wrote something like:

America born in 1776 and died in 2012

He has quit emailing myself and others in our golf group who are Republicans who were not sold on Romney, and he never understand why we were not hateful toward the president. I usually get an invite down to his place in Marco Island each year along with some others and he has basically said that if we did not vote for Romney, he really does not want to see us this year......he has lost his mind. He started watching Fox News exclusively about 4 years ago, and he has all the symptoms of a deep depression.

SO, could we name this condition Foxnesia or Foxingitis? I have similar experiences in my peer group. I described in a recent thread about going to a Lumber company to get material for a project and the gentleman who ran the forklift was so depressed and dumbfounded that Romney got thumped by America. A neighbor who has a large farm in GA and home on PB is so distraught he is considering selling and moving back to the homestead. I worry for them in a way.

Hats off to Neko for having the character she has displayed for accepting the results as I know she is not happy but she is an American first.

Considering all that Obama stands for and is about in regards to changing America into a socialist paradise, he might be well within his rights to give you the finger Seaoat.

For you this whole election is about getting your hand in the healthcare pot with Obamacare. He might consider you to be egocentric which is something most teenagers are about.

Obama is going to do his damndest to reconfigure this country in the time he has left in office.

...with Obamacare.

I think you have a point. When we had an alternative to vote for the guy who put obamacare in massachusetts, the difference between the two is so great that I think we all need to kill ourselves because that one didn't win.
Just think, if that other one had won, on his first day of office he was going to do away with obamacare and that democrat controlled senate would not have had anything to say about it and the country would have been saved.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if he doesn't just do away with the republican controlled House because he is so powerful that nobody could stop him. He's more powerful even than superman. He can leap over congress in a single bound.

REALITY CHECK

Democrat president vs a republican House.

Republican president vs a democrat senate.

Six of one and half dozen of the other. AKA gridlock.

He can't leap over 200+ million citizens with guns though jackass.

Sure he can. He's Superobama. He controls the horizontal. He controls the vertical. It's The Outer Limits.

You're right, only a jackass believes Obama can't do anything he wants with a republican House. All he has to do is wave his magic wand and the Republican House will go along with anything Superobama wants.
And if any of us jackasses don't believe that we need to listen to the really smart people on talk radio and they'll set us straight about it.

I'm extremely disappointed Obama squeaked by. But, not to the point of depression.

Let's see what happens. I just hope the ones that voted for Obama lose their properties first.

Be careful what you wish/vote for!

Here's what's really gonna happen, santa rosa teacher. The real civics lesson you should be teaching your students.
Those 320 million people (not 200 million) are not gonna put pressure on either the democrats or the republicans to get the borrowing and spending under control. Because those 320 million people don't want to have to make the sacrifices necessary to do that.
So the democrat and republican politicians in the government are going to take a bandaid approach to the coming fiscal crisis. They're going to do the absolute least they have to to avoid the "cliff". And yes they will avoid the cliff but they mostly will be kicking the whole crisis down the road a little bit further. And the problem will continue to worsen. There will be no voluntary solution. The solution will be the same forced "austerity" already being experienced in Europe.
You better be educating those students about that, teacher, because it aint gonna be me who's on the shit end of it. I'll hopefully be dead and gone by the time that shit really hits the fan. It will be those students of yours who have to live with it and suffer through it.

Knothead, what did you call Pacedog's syndrome? "Foxnesia"? His brain was also softened from reading too many articles from The Blaze.

So help me out little man. Are you advocating an armed rebellion of the Rule of Law....? Are you gonna take up arms and show the POTUS what's what and take some action like a real patriot....?

You're even more delusional than I thought. I'm bet you $500.00 American that you can't round up 100 folk in that redneck sewer where you reside that are willing to join you in an armed revolt, so the notion that 200 million are gonna take up arms is so far from reality it screams to be laughed at.

I think you more than proved who the jackass is in this equation. What I don't understand is why you are still here everyday, puking traitorous remarks bordering on insurrection that I'm fairly certain violate the UCMJ.

Squeaked by? I remember when Bush was re-elected with a 35 point electoral college margin and a lesser margin in the popular vote, republicans were loudly proclaiming that Bush had received a mandate. Were you one of those?

I think it goes to show most Americans don't go for the extremist republican views. The religious right have lost their minds but have convinced their selves this is the right way but have found out it's not. America has changed from the fifties and they need to accept that. Americans don't want people telling them what they can do w/ their bodies,whether they can use contraceptives or who has to pay for them or whether they can have healthcare. More Catholics voted for Obama than ever before as did young people. They are simply wrong about what people want.

The Religious Right isn't going anywhere. Deal with it. As for the Catholics, most do not adhere to their beliefs and that is why Catholocism is a dead religion.

....and you want me to tell them that their PARENTS and GRANDPARENTS are screwing them over? I think they already understand that.

I appreciate your point of view but factually speaking Romney lost to Obama by TWO MILLION more votes than what he defeated Senator McCain by. A squeaker? I don't think so . . . . a landslide? Not quite but a sound victory for Obama nonetheless.

Actual 2008 results:

Barack Obama (D)


69,498,215


John McCain (R)


59,948,240

Romney was a lot closer, not that it makes a difference except to show your post is full of shit.

It will be some time before ALL votes are counted and some pundits on both sides project that number, not mine and I agree it is, at this point, conjecture but the spread will widen as the votes continue to come in.

Nobody said they were going anywhere.They're just not going to take over the country like they thought. You saw that here in SRC when you tried and got slapped down over your school prayers. Catholicism is not dead.There are more Catholics than any other religion. You just keep on lying to yourself and others.
