Democrats will need therapy if Bush beats them again

WASHINGTON — Upon losing a game at the 1925 Baden-Baden tournament, Aaron Nimzowitsch, the great chess theoretician and a superb player, knocked the pieces off the board, jumped on the table and screamed, "How can I lose to this idiot?"

[wagglebee]

The subject of one prominent new novel is whether George W. Bush should be assassinated. This is all quite unhinged. Good God. What if Bush is re-elected? If they lose to him again, Democrats will need more than just consolation. They'll need therapy.

The 'Rats know it's over.

[pointsal]

Remember....the opposition votes from the grave and in several states all at one time.

[WorkingClassFilth]

I believe I will be checking in at DUh on Wednesday morning, the 3rd of November, just to savor the howls and shrieks of the damned.

[Blood of Tyrants]

They need it now.

[DoughtyOne]

Yes, it's over. The truth is though, the dems need therapy whether Bush wins or loses. I'd say 10% or more of them need intensive therapy including lockdown.

[notpoliticallycorewrecked]

They need therapy now.

[Wild Irish Rogue]

I wish Charles Krauthammer,M.D.
( he practiced medicine for three years as a resident and then chief resident in psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital)
would give us his professional diagnosis of Kerry's mental pathology.
He wisely predicted Dean's breakdown before it happened.

[wagglebee]

I'd say 10% or more of them need intensive therapy including lockdown.

Well over 10% of them need to be locked up, possibly in Guantanamo.

Democrats will need therapy if Bush beats them again

I don't think Democrats will need therapy. I think they'll need to be committed or incarcerated. Considering their love of terrorists (which they call "freedom fighters") and the Iraqi insurgents (which they support) and Palestinian bus bombers (whom they cheer), I have no doubt that Democrats will resort to violence if/when Bush wins the election this November.

[DaveMSmith]

...just to savor the howls and shrieks of the damned.

"Four more years of Hell" heh. Really sucks to be them.

[wagglebee]

Agreed.

[Yo-Yo]

Democrats will need therapy if WHEN Bush beats them again

[NutCrackerBoy]

Historians will have a field day trying to fathom the depths of detestation that the Democrats are carrying into this campaign. -Charles Krauthammer

Fathoming historians are cool.

[Enterprise]

"They'll need therapy."

Many on FreeRepublic came to that conclusion years ago.

[DaBroasta]

I think the perfect therapy is to give them 8 years of Jeb after 4 more years of GW.

[CWOJackson]

Not just the democrats. There will be a few "True" Conservative types who will develop a few more complexes.

[nevergore]

Arrogance and elitism are the prime ingredients for a healthy serving humble pie.....

The primary food group of Democrats....

NeverGore :^)

[Ludicrous]

Authored in Seattle of all places!
I hope their pharmacies are well stocked with blood pressure medication!

[BigWaveBetty]

I have a feeling he'd agree with my tagline.

[wagglebee]

Fathoming historians are cool.

Got any pictures? :)

[BigLittle]

Democrats will need therapy if WHEN Bush beats them again

[LonePalm]

You mean, WHEN.

[television is just wrong]

Go get their therapy, maybe they will join us and become Republicans.

[wagglebee]

Actually it was originally in the Washington Post.

SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL SHRINK, VOTE FOR DUBYA!

[wagglebee]

Unfortunately, you're right.

They are all (mostly) already in therapy and taking psychotropic drugs. That's not going to help. The question is, how far will they go during the next 4 years if Bush wins? Keep your powder dry.

[wagglebee]

Nah, I think letting them spend an afternoon at Niagara Falls would be the best therapy.

[Weaver95]

You know, it's been interesting watching the protesters in NYC. As near as I can tell, based on what I can decipher from the bile spewing hate filled foaming rants, the entire basis for the support of Kerry is that he's not Bush.

Not the best way to define your platform for leadership if you ask me.

[Enterprise]

I think your point is a good one. I thought these people needed therapy a long time ago. But now, after President Bush is re-elected, they'll need to be institutionalized.

[Mark in the Old South]

Re: "If they lose to him again, Democrats will need more than just consolation. They'll need therapy."

When I was a Corpsman working on the psych ward we would mechanically restrain (read tie down) patients who were less unhinged than Demoncrats are today. Then would come large doses of Haldol. All administered with soothing calm words of consolation mixed with reality feedback.

[PeoplesRepublicOfWashington]

The Democrats fell unnaturally silent. For two long, agonizing years, they had to stifle and suppress.

Two long years? I seem to recall it lasting about two short weeks. Then the 'Rats resumed tossing crap on the wall to see what would stick. The first thing that stuck was the accusation, months after the fact, that Bush lied with sixteen of his words in his 2003 state of the union speech. I kept thinking that the 'Rats, trying slime after slime, would sooner or later lose credibility--after all, how many times can you be seen to be blatantly wrong in public before you're given as much credence as the boy who cried 'wolf'?

[SkyPilot]

The loathing goes far beyond the politicians

It does--but not in the terms the author states. The real reason so many hate GW Bush was stated below by the Almighty:

All men will hate you because of me.

Luke 21:17

[Kaslin]

After President Bush is reelected on November the lunatics from the left will voluntaringly march right into the looney bins

[Wild Irish Rogue]

" Psychiatrists describe Kerry's thought process as 'magical thinking. "

I think any rational person and especially those who have read Unfit For Command, have to acknowledge that Kerry has some very serious mental a/o emotional problems.
Very serious-far too serious to be anywhere near the Oval Office.

Reading Kerry's own words and those of his family, I believe that Kerry suffers from depression, post traumatic stress disorder,narcissistic personality disorder ( NPD ) and thanks to your tagline- magical thinking.
Which is why he refuses to release his military and medical records.

[Cultural Jihad]

The 'Rats could have won the election if they had nominated George W. Bush instead.

[spodefly]

I believe I will be checking in at DUh on Wednesday morning, the 3rd of November, just to savor the howls and shrieks of the damned.

[wagglebee]

Perfect!

[jimbo123]

The Demoncrats are going to need more than therapy after this election.

[wagglebee]

He looks somewhat like Terry McAwful with long hair and a straightjacket.

[COBOL2Java]

Assuming Bush is re-elected on a huge margin (thus making Democrat fraud and challenges irrelevant), the interview I want to watch on Nov 3 is with Michael Moore - assuming he hasn't locked himself in a room with several cases of twinkies.

[rebel25]

rush or hannity read this the other day on the air i dont remember which

[proudofthesouth]

I work with a bunch of liberals. (I may be the only conservative in the whole building).

The day after the elections I will be singing and smiling and laughing and they will all be sad. I will feel so sorry for them. NOT!

[rineaux]

Remember....the opposition votes from the grave and in several states all at one time.

true, just ask the US civil war vets who voted for gore in 2000.

[wagglebee]

I don't think fat@$$ goes anywhere without several cases of Twinkies.

[Congressman Billybob]

I'm gratified that I got my latest column in print, "Why John Kerry Is Now Toast," before Krauthammer and others came out with their Monday columns and articles. A lot of knowledgable people are reaching the conclusion that the Kerry Campaign is crashing and burning.

The next important question is why? I see it as a marketing failure -- planning for suicide, without realizing that it is suicide. IMHO.

Isn't magical thinking - isn't that the way 4 and 5 year olds look at the world? Pretty accurate assessent

[Vicki]

They will need more than therapy ... they'll need straight jackets!

"I think the perfect therapy is to give them 8 years of Jeb after 4 more years of GW."
The regular whisky bottle (1.75L size) will do. Look at kennedy- he's been using it for how long now? And it seems to do him a lot of good, too.

My dream Nov 3 interviewer would be Brit Hume. "Mr. Moore, sorry to interrupt your Breakfast, or Lunch or Dinner - but one question I'd like to ask - Mr. Moore, if you could put the burrito down for a moment..."
