I've never seen Rethugs so angry, frustrated, and just nuts.
Working the local Dem office for a bit today, I heard story after story of Dems being accosted by extremely angry/nuts Rethugs. Neighbors accosting neighbors, canvassers being yelled at, even candidates. They are all going wackers.

Our county is predominately Republican, and they are usually a bit smug about everything. Is it because they know they are getting creamed that they are losing it? We may even win a local Commissioner race, putting a woman in that office for the first time every (over 130 years) Although they are always crazy, I've never seen them THIS nuts before.

Anybody else getting this?

2. Actually, our country is predominantly Democratic.
There are more registered Dems than Repubs. What you're seeing is a small, vocal, and scared minority acting out.

3. My neighbor's car got keyed yesterday at Walmart
And "Obama Sucks" written in soap on his window. He called the police and they said there was nothing they can do, even though walmart has security cameras in the parking lot.

4. Yup. Don't it do your heart good?
My son in law has been in a foul mood ever since the debates. It's all I can do to not call him and gloat but he may be suicidal and I wouldn't want to deprive my granddaughters of a daddy.

6. They've lived outside reality for so long, and been told they were special
Edited on Sat Nov-01-08 04:33 PM by jobycom
and right and God's chosen people for so long, that this is about more than losing for many of them. This is a realization that everything they've believed has been a lie, or wrong. Many can't handle it, so they are imploding mentally and emotionally.

Plus, they just are used to being told yes, and have no idea what to do when they are told no.

7. Yeah they are getting rabid out there in the hopes that
they can stop the land slide of democratics elected as well as their man McShit. On one state forum I go to they are ranting big time about early voting in other states, shopping malls, 7/11 are not places to vote but schools and churchs are ok. They know the greed feast is about to end the sad part is their man Left them high and dry and the poor assholes are still trying to get the vote out for him.

8. Their party is a miserable failure and their hold on power is slipping, slipping, slipping.
Reaganomics and neocon policies are spectacular flops. Republicans will lose the presidency. They have already lost the House and the Senate. They are in the minority of governorships, and I believe more chambers of state congresses are now Democratic.

They'll have nothin'.
