you actually went to sleep :)

What scares me most is that more than 1 in 2 Americans wanted this to happen.

Utter disbelief is an understatement. Disgust is a better word

went to sleep at 10:00 PM EST, it was obvious.
What is next? Isreal is already being attacked! Will they bomb Iran? Is there going to be a mass exodus of industry to pre-empt punishing new taxes on earnings? Does Rush have to move to XM? Do I have to bury my guns in the woods?

To steal a quote from a great American For the first time in my adult life, I am ashamed of and afraid for my country.

I had to go to “sleep”.

Part of it was just the fact that my brain could not process anything anymore.

This whole thing has been made worse by the freaking margins Obama won in some states.

A lot of DU members here on FR are going to mock me for being a sore loser. But I am NOT a sore loser. I am genuinely sad about a Socialist being elected.

I still remember the day when Clinton was elected first in 1992. I was sad because a lousy draft dodging pot smoking ex hippie was elected but I did not fear for myself or my safety.

That is the BIG difference in this election. I somehow feel that my family is “less safe” this AM. I don't know if I am the only Freeper that thinks like that or there are others but as of today I will be very cautious.

LOL! my thoughts exactly. still up, shocked like a deer in headlights!
s’pose i will handle it by not watching tv. aside from FR my attitude will be “ignorance is bliss” if i dont see him or hear him i will feel a lot better! otherwise i have no plan....
the possibility of getting ridiculously drunk and weeping has crossed my mind. been years would not take much. lol

I slept fitfully; got a heartbreaking call from my 18 year old college daughter wanting to know if she should pack her bag and come home now, since my taxes might go too high to keep her in college. :(

Got that. I came home from counting votes at 10:30 after they called OH and MN. Couldn't sleep until perhaps 1 or 2, then got up at 5.

I have to go to a UNIVERSITY today and watch all these people strut about now that they've elected their Messiah. And they have no clue that he decides they are "obstructing" his "improvements," they would be the first ones up against the wall.
