I can't go on hating like this
I have spent the last four years hating George W. Bush. I have invested so much emotionally and mentally into this election that I just can't go on fighting if we lose this one. I will still support the Democrats of America but I just can't invest four more years of hatred. It's taken too much from me. I'm sorry. :(

Just wait a few weeks, and they'll give you cause.

9. The thing is, you don't have a decision
There is no choice of investment of hatred or disgust. It is what it is. Like breathing it comes rhythmically, without thought.

You're tired now but you'll wake tomorrow and the next day and all of it will come flooding back. This is the tragedy of our times. It's not just the losses of lives, freedoms, respect, security, etc.

It's that we've lost the option of having one minute's peace.

14. What black people feel will depend greatly on how
aggressively the Democrats defend black votes and black voters. If they roll over for the pugs as they have the last four years, then I say the Dems had best look at being a minority party for the foreseeable future.

19. I think you're absolutely right.
I wonder how long it will be before the bastard gives Ken Blackwell some plummy spot in the cabinet? He did manage to swing them Ohio with all his bullshit, after all.

18. This one is feeling depressed and
is coming into her anger. I'll wait and see about the dems on this one--if they blow it, well, I don't think it will be pretty.

12. We Are Going To Have To Use That Hatred Very Soon.
"Hatred is an element of struggle; relentless hatred of the enemy that impels us over and beyond the natural limitations of man and transforms us into effective, violent, selective, and cold killing machines. Our soldiers must be thus; a people without hatred cannot vanquish a brutal enemy." ~ Che

I have never agreed with Che more than I do now.

15. Same here
I am tired of the whole thing, obviously all that pent up rage from 4 years ago wasn't enough to get us this election. :-(

17. Can't you at least try?
Sorry. I'm angry but I don't think that I hate anyone. And your post reinforces my belief that hate just isn't worth the effort. Bargain yourself down to dislike. You'll feel better in no time. :)
