Ummmm.. this may sound pathetic but I was soo devastated by the outcome that I actually became physically ill. I got a headache,palpitations, and felt like I had a monkey tearin’ up a straw hat in my stomach( I know TMI).

I decided to spare my children from having to hear about how great the Obama victory was, and I kept them home from their government school the next day.

Basically my husband, and kids and I just sat up on Election night and held a WAKE for capitalism and our country.

Me too. I have never physically reacted from an election. Until Tuesday and Weds.

Yeah, I know what you mean. My children watched the returns with me. By the time McCain made his concession speech, it was only my oldest son (17) and I who were awake. I held on to him while watching the speech, tears running down my face. I went out to the porch to get some air, and wept some more. It occured to me that I was crying more over this than I have over the house fire that destroyed everything I own (though everyone I love was spared, thank God.)

My youngest son (9), who was sleeping in front of the TV, which ran returns all night (their request) woke up when he heard me walk through at 3 AM.

Mama...he said...It’s Obama. Sad little voice. I said I know, honey, I know. And then reminded him of Ps 20:7-8...some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we will remember the Name of the Lord our God.

Since our fire, we have been living with a friend and his family. They all voted for Obama. No exulting on their part, though. I think our quiet mourning has spoken volumes to them about the depth of our concern.

And yes, we tried, oh so hard, to make them understand. And I think we made progress - just not enough for this election.

We had a similar situation at our house. Our 18 year-old voted for the first time and he is just as STUNNED as the rest of us about this. Sadly, I cannot explain it to him because it makes no sense to me either.

I was depressed for most of the day then my Irish kicked in and I decided that Hussein POS will NOT destroy my life. I will not let him. I think the country is in numb mode right now, except for the communists. Most people with a brain and a gut know this is a BAD THING and we are in for some huge pain.

As bad as Hussein is, the MSM is much, much worse. Basically we have learned that any candidate has to make the media happy or they will happily, willingly and OPENLY participate in the personal destruction of said person.

I feel sick too.

I go back and forth between rage and numb. There’s a little bit of despair.

People are saying that this is how the Left felt when Bush won, but I don’t think it’s the same. When Bush won, there was a lot of paranoia, but most of it wasn’t based in reality. We weren’t rounded up into concentration camps. We didn’t loose our rights to free speech. We didn’t become a police state.

But Obama wants a civilian security force as well funded as the military. He TOLD us he’s raise our taxes and put the environment uber allis. He flat-out told us that our energy costs were going up and that he was going to bankrupt a key industry. He said he was going to change our constitution to a socialist document.

Hell, that was his platform!! Our fears are VERY real.

So when my heart won’t stop pounding out of my chest, when I’m throwing up off the front porch, when I can’t sleep - I HAVE DARN GOOD REASON.
