goodby you all - I'm done - its embarrassing to be an american

[ensho]

I've tried every day since the 2000 coup d'etat to take the power away from the neo cons and have a peaceful, progressive country. if I wasn't poor I'd move out. I don't want to live in a country that has men dressing up as nazi and doing reenactments. a corrupt S.S. a pentagon that loves killing and destruction.

I'm crying as I type this.

good luck, wishing you well.

1. it's always been like this....teevee just amplifies it.....

28. THAT HAS BEEN AND WILL BE THE PROBLEM THE MSM.

3. Never Surrender

Do not surrender even when defeated,
and do not be a slave even in bondage,
trembling with fear advance bravely,
and attack with fury, though badly wounded.

Be as stubborn as a rusting nail,
that refuses to yield though old and ruined,
and do not envy the peacock's plumage,
that hides in fear at the first noise.

Be as a god that never cries,
or as a devil that never prays,
or as the oak whose mighty canopy,
needs of water but does not beg it.

Even when it rolls to the dust,
let your head scowl and bite,
and scream for vengeance.

- Pedro Palacios Almafuerte
Argentinian poet 1854-1917

24. Thank You

I needed that.

32. It is my mother's favorite poem

She has recited it, twice, at meetings of breast cancer survivors, after surviving treatment herself.

She is still with us.

She is my guiding star, and my rudder.

[TuxedoKat]

42. Beautiful.

Thanks for sharing that poem.

[barbtries]

4. where you going ensho?

don't despair. we still need you.

[stray cat]

5. I know some people who would like to trade itizenship with you

[Wednesdays]

36. From India?

:shrug:

[Darth_Kitten]

6. Hey!......

NEVER give up. :hug:

These idiots will not last forever. Seriously. They'll be out in the open and there will be many good Americans who will not tolerate these fools for long.

[malaise]

7. This is what you need

:grouphug:
We're keeping the Senate. It could be worse.

[Terra Alta]

8. stay strong

and keep up the good fight.. so we can win in 2012...

[FSogol]

9. If it is any consolation, the Nazi cross dresser lost. n/t

[Darth_Kitten]

11. And cripes, it's just the House....

:)

[Occam Bandage]

10. No need for that.

Things ain't goin' well tonight. That was obviously going to be the case. It's easy to fight the good fight when we're winning. What matters is how well you fight it when you're losing.

The conservatives got curb-stomped in '06 and '08. They didn't curl up with the sniffles. They got loud. They got angry. They got motivated. They got a bunch of firebrands on the ballots. And they're reaping the dividends.

Might be a lesson there.

[PufPuf23]

12. The heart-felt warmth in your posts is obvious.

Don't go. You are good.

[cynatnite]

13. Take a breather and come back later when you're refreshed...

We need fighters.

[woo me with science]

14. C'mon, it's only the House,

and there is another election in two years.

[phasma ex machina]

34. +1 Plus you'll miss all of the comedy as things start to unwind rather rapidly for the bankster's

best friends when Ben "Roflcopter" Bernanke sticks it to them with yet another bailout/stimulus/whatever tomorrow.

[madmax]

15. We won't back down now

Hang in there. :hug:

[EmilyKent]

16. Climb down off the roof. It's just an ordinary mid-term.

No big deal. And certainly no big wave as predicted.

[leftygolfer]

17. I understand

But we need to fight for this country, not give up. Please take a rest and come back to join the fight

[leftygolfer]

18. I understand

But we need to fight for this country, not give up. Please take a rest and come back to join the fight

[peace13]

19. It seems dark to me too but don't give up.

Tomorrow we can work out the details. It does seem that we have some very stupid folks in our country. It doesn't mean that we have to make any rash decisions tonight. Peace, Kim

20. Here's a little song I wrote

You might want to sing it note for note
Don't Worry — Be Happy
In every life we have some trouble
But when you worry you make it Double
Don't Worry — Be Happy
Ain't got no place to lay your head,
somebody came and took your bed
Don't Worry, Be Happy
The landlord say your rent is late,
he may have to litigate
Don't Worry — Be Happy
Ain't got not cash, ain't got no style,
ain't got no gal to make you smile
Don't Worry — Be Happy
Cause when you worry your face will frown
and that will bring everybody down
Don't Worry — Be Happy

[pinto]

21. Take care ensho. We'll be here. The door's always open.

:hi:

[dixiegrrrrl]

22. Ensho, I am not sure what you are saying.

Which makes me feel concerned for you.

What do you mean, " I am done"?

[Tikki]

23. Wow, I've actually looked around DU for your posts...

I remember when you first came on here. I think you have a brilliant heart and a damn good mind.

If you really can't stay here, :( I hope some other site will be fortunate enough to share your input.

Tikki

[Smarmie Doofus]

25. EZ does it. It sucks... mostly but there are plenty of bright spots. nt

[nadinbrzezinski]

26. We'll be here

whenever you come back

[HipChick]

27. I went through hell to become a naturalized citizen

I'm not giving up now..

Although I can never become President

This spurs me on for running for political office at some point

[Canuckistanian]

29. Aw, geeze, ensho

The Nazi's gone.

Stay with us. It's not that bad. Well, it's not THAT bad, but bad nonetheless.

Stay and fight another day - after a few days rest.

[Union Thug]

30. Welcome to my world

Hey, this is my first post to DU since Obama was elected! Too bad it is such depressing night. I'm with you, if I weren't a dirt poor 46 year old man, I'd be on the first flight out of this asylum. But schmucks like us have no choice; we have to live with the decisions of the madison avenue propaganda blinded nation of dimwits who (I guess) are content to continue to see their wages decline (Rand Paul - workers will have to settle for less) their lifestyle diminished while the wealthy firm up their iron grip on the nation.

Oh well.

[lpbk2713]

31. People will have to look at my profile from now on.

I won't say in public where I live, I'm ashamed for people to know what a backward state I reside in.

[shireen]

33. what do you mean "goodbye?"

wishing us well?

please don't go ....

:(

[Dreamer Tatum]

35. Yeah, yeah...see you in a couple of days.

:eyes:

[ramapo]

37. Relax...not so bad. Shut the TV.

Really...life goes on

[Raine]

38. Hang in ... CA my state is still voting

when the polls close here and the results start coming in I can guarantee you will be cheered up! :hi:

[nolabear]

39. They only win if you quit. You should rest a while, and then live your convictions awhile

and then if you can come back and fight the good fight. You're needed. Don't give up.

[marions ghost]

40. Their gains were big

it really was a coup d'etat aided by a corrupt voting system. A media complicit hijacking.

Did you think the Neo-cons were going to give up anything easily? Nah, they just light a fire under some teabagger candidates and back in business...

I understand crying that our dream of a rational, peaceful, progressive country seems so far away. But their Bu*h Era gains were big. It will not be easy. It will take time. It will take more work. We can't leave it to them now.

Take some time out ensho, but we need you.

[Dappleganger]

41. Hey, we're in this together...

you're not alone!! We elected Obama for chrissakes...these people are still here and will rise again.

The tides are turning...the voices of DIVERSITY are going to change this place. Yes, today we lost a battle but we sure as hell didn't lose the war. I'm in FL...feeling down but know that I am not the only one.

[Zax2me]

43. What?! Good grief...

It's a typical mid-term election.
We can get back house and re-elect Obama in 2012 - VERY easily.
Two short years away.
Cliff jumping is not a response to adversity and this is small stuff.

2012.
House.
Senate.
Four more years of Obama.
This isn't an optimistic outlook - it is a likely one.
Obama is going to be in 2012 what many expected in 2008.
Think long term.
We got this.

[RiverStone]

44. Your giving up?

Politics is a full contact sport - I have kids.

No fucking way I'm giving up.

So we got our ass kicked tonight; we can do the same in reverse in 2 years. We still have the presidency and the senate.

Hope ya feel better, but we need you in the fight.

[Obamanaut]

45. There are people coming here - both legally and not so much - every day, so

your replacement may well be here already.
