OK, I have gone off the deep end.

[The empressof all]

I am truly ashamed but I think that I am no longer open minded. I never saw it coming but it hit me like a lead pipe this morning when I logged on here.

I just couldn't bring myself to read any threads that had anything to do with the Scum Sucking Satan in the White House. I just don't want to know anymore. I don't want to hear any more lies. I don't want to see his skeeven face. I don't want to hear his whiny little voice.

I am done with him.

[demnan]

1. Why is that the deep end

I feel that way at least once every f***ing day!

[Snoggera]

2. Praise the Lord

Your heart and eyes have been opened to the truth.

Consider yourself baptized.

[indigobusiness]

3. Just one question????

"Skeeven"---what is that, and can I use it?

[indigobusiness]

4. That was two questions.

Sorry.

[The empressof all]

11. Skeeven

It's a word I heard growing up- It describes the most evil, scummy, scheming, low and base thing you could imagine.

I thought it was common slang-maybe I spelled it wrong.

[DenverDem]

5. You just stopped being masochistic is all.

Actually, that shows improved mental health.

[seabeyond]

6. funny you, totally open, just what good is lies

is nothing more than a story and i have no need for story. i did though go to a single thread after a while to see if earth shattering. not...............(earthshattering from what i got)

so now, dont you feel so clever that you didnt waste a single precious moment of your life

me too

[callous taoboy]

7. Come on in...the water's fine!

:-)

[OneBlueSky]

8. seems perfectly sane and reasonable to me . . .

I stopped listening to/watching/reading about the twit months ago . . . not missing a thing, and it's done wonders for my disposition . . .

[BayouBengal07]

9. I'm sorry to hear that

I could say "good job!", but I like to believe that you can think you're right but you aren't as long as you are close minded. Always keep your mind open, always consider your foes responses, if not the be converted by them, but to use them against them. Know your enemy. Try to mend fences. Shutting yourself out and resigning to blatant partisanship (for lack of a better word) and close mindedness is not in my humble opinion the way to go.

Its tough but worth it. Its like non-violence. People can talk all they want about how a ruler exudes "strength" and "resolve" for going to war, but I like to believe deep down that it takes REAL strength and resolve to reject the easy, primal way out and instead seek peace.

My $0.02 pseudo-hippie cents.

10. Welcome to the deep end, Wubette. Water's fine here.

Skeeven? I don't know what it means, but I like it. Reminds me of an old DU poster in 2001 who always referred to Bu$h as The Snool.

[Sabriel]

13. I prefer Voldemort

That came up after the speeches this week, where * became "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named." He pretty much typifies what Voldemort stands for anyway.

[LiberalEsto]

12. Why should we pollute our beautiful minds

listening to that imbecile?

[info being]

14. I know. I'm afraid I can't watch the Fascist Convention.

Which sounds really hypocritical. I know if have to in order to remain credible, though.

[Tosca]

15. I can't even bear to listen to him anymore!

With his smarmy platitudes, his lies, and his canned messages. He's a fraud, a poser, and a one-trick pony. How he fools people is beyond me.

[The empressof all]

16. It totally blows my mind

that people actually believe him. Up until now I have felt a moral obligation to try to understand their position. I guess it was my bleeding heart-but I did try to consider where they were coming from. No matter how hard I tried -I never could get it.

What the hell is wrong with those people

[ocean girl]

19. I've been done with him since he stole the election in Florida!

[Tosca]

22. I brings me back to when Nixon was campaigning

with his "secret plan" to end the Viet Nam war. People would tell me he was going to get in there and end it and I would tell them Nooooo!
Nooooo! He's just saying that to get elected, he's blowing smoke out of his patootie! Don't vote for him because he's a liar! Can't you see he's lying?!?!

[The empressof all]

17. dupe (eom)

[Mad_Dem_X]

21. I can't see it, either Wubette

How on earth can so many Americans be fooled by this horrible, deceitful administration?? I can hardly stand to look at * myself, just the way he leans on the podium, all cocky, and that DAMN SMIRK! I want to smack him, and I am not a violent person.

[sendero]

18. I went off the deep end ...

... months ago if that is the criteria.

I simply cannot stand to hear him speak. He is such a moron and a liar, he cannot utter a single sentence that isn't a lie, a damnable lie, or delusional spin.

I can't wait until 2005.

[seemslikeadream]

20. "Illiteracy blinds the spirit. Study, soldier."

[Carni]

23. Read that Carville book!

"Buck up- suck up--" etc etc

Every morning I vow that I can't do this for one more minute because after four long years of this shit I just can't handle it
(Yes, I meant four because I started on this mission as soon as bush's name was thrown into the mix)

I pity myself and my mental health for a few minutes and then I have an espresso and I am good to go for further dirt digging on google!

Good luck!

[Generator]

24. I understand

disgust and outrage fatigue effects us all. I flip away and turn away too. He's an embarrasment to us as Americans, and the world. Why pretend the emperor is wearing clothes. He ain't.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

25. What took you so long?

It took me about a week after the inauguration to decide that listening to Bushboy made me too tense and angry. Ever since then, I've read about his exploits only through the written word, which somehow lacks the immediacy and gut-wrenching awfulness of his presence.

[MODemocrat]

26. There are many of us who feel the same way about Bush

Some days, I see a headline about him or one of his right-wing nazi buddies and just go to another forum. He is the most depressing looking person I've ever known in public life.
