88. I am just flat out
frustrated by what's going on with Kerry.

Yes, I'm new, but I've been on Kerrys side for months now, defending him tooth and nail against anyone who tried-even for a second-to put him down. If I had known that DU even existed all those months ago, believe me, I would have been over here in a nano second that's for damn sure! Unfortunately, I didn't know about DU until after the so called "election" when I started trying to get information when the media blacked out the issue. I lurked around here at first, then registered. But I've posted very little because frankly it's rather intimidating as this thread proves.

What I want to know is why can't we say exactly how we are feeling around here? As long as a persons intentions are good? Aren't we all in this together after all? If some of us are disappointed in Kerry, why are we not allowed to express that?

FYI-I cried when Kerry conceded. I was depressed and upset and disgusted by *s so called "mandate". I was happy and excited to get a glimmer of hope upon finding out about the election fraud. And ecstatic in the realization that there was a distinct possibility that Kerry would claim victory after all. The past 7 weeks have been an emotional roller coaster and I've spent it waiting and watching for some good news, some great news, some fabulous news.

Yesterdays event was an extreme disappointment to me to say the least. Perhaps I expected too much. I still have a bit of hope and faith that things will look better on January 6th, but that hope is nothing compared to the hope I had a month ago. And I can't stop myself from coming back to the gut feeling that there needs to be someone at the forefront-Kerry or some other brave soul-someone to speak for ALL OF US who have been dissed, lied to and cheated.
