San Francisco: No Mood for Tolerance After Bush Win
Sun Nov 7, 9:27 AM ET Politics - Reuters
By Andrea Orr
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - The summer of love has given way to the autumn of fear in San Francisco, a liberal stronghold where residents bitterly disappointed by the Bush victory are in no mood to reach out and mend divisions.
Rather, they are waving "United States of Canada" maps, redrawn to show Canada extending down to include California, New England and the other so-called "blue states" that voted decisively for Massachusetts Democratic Sen. John Kerry in the U.S. presidential race.
Some are canceling plans to travel to neighboring "red states," where Bush drew most of his support. They are asking serious questions about the future of American democracy. And the usual post-election bravado about moving out of the country when a favored candidate loses is sounding different this year. It sounds a lot more serious.
"I'm going in on Monday and getting a new passport," said an electronics technician and volunteer at the Green Festival environmental conference who requested anonymity.
"I'm not leaving yet, but I'm getting prepared," he said. "I can imagine that this country is going to get a lot worse before it gets better."
Rep. Dennis Kucinich, a Democrat who competed with Kerry for his party's presidential nomination before backing the senator, urged the crowd at the festival to remain hopeful and connect with the other concerned citizens.
But the questions Kucinich fielded were anything but hopeful.
"Why should we believe we will ever have another fair election in this country?" asked one woman.
After the well-publicized electoral chaos in Florida in 2000, the United States invited international observers to monitor the Nov. 2 election. Despite widespread allegations of electoral fraud before last week's vote, they were unable to substantiate the claims.
The woman's frustration was echoed throughout San Francisco, arguably the most liberal city in one of the most Democratic states in the country. On Tuesday, 83.3 percent of voters in San Francisco County cast their ballots for Kerry, compared with 62.8 percent in Los Angeles County and 54.7 percent statewide.
STAYING OUT OF RED STATES
Peace and tolerance have long been the words to live by in San Francisco, known for its large gay community, broad ethnic mix and frequent anti-war protests. But days after the election, many residents said they were so worried about an erosion of civil rights, environmental standards and the escalating violence in the Middle East, that they did not know how they could tolerate the Bush administration, or Americans who voted to re-elect him.
"I have family in Idaho, but I told my wife we're not going to visit them now. It's all Republicans there," said Ron Schmidt, a public relations executive. "We have family in Indiana and I don't want to go there either."
It was not the reaction George W. Bush must have been hoping for when he made his acceptance speech on Wednesday and told Kerry supporters: "I will need your support and I will work to earn it."
Schmidt said: "The ideologies of the two parties are too different. I don't see how healing can take place. I feel like the disenfranchised minority now, and that's a funny thing for a tall, good-looking white guy like me to say."
Schmidt's friend, magazine editor Joseph Connelly, said one of his columnists who had moved temporarily to Paris six months ago decided Wednesday she would settle there permanently.
"She was hoping she would want to come back," Connelly said, "but after she saw the election results she just didn't."Comment

Angry Dems: Bush Win Worse than 9/11
The results of Tuesday's election have driven Democratic ultra liberals completely batty, with some now saying George Bush's victory was actually worse than the 9/11 attacks.
An online poll conducted by the Web site Democratic Underground found that 72 percent agree that Bush's re-election was the more devastating of the two events, with 28 percent who said it wasn't.
DU members were invited to explain their votes. One typical response:
"9/11 was an outside attack on our country and was terrible. 11/3 was an inside attack on everything our country stands for and should be, it will have been far worse historically."
Other DU'ers, however, realized how nutty the comparison was. Complained one poster:
"This way out attitude, I'm afraid, is what contributed to our loss Tuesday. How mainstream is it to believe that an election loss is more depressing than one of the worst days in the history of our land?"Comment

:D The libbies' true colors have finally been unmasked. The so-called 'Party of Compassion' is really the 'Party of Narcisistic Assholes'.
Don't let any one of these nuts near a gun; They might commit suicide.
Oops, my bad...some Kerrytown sheep already offed himself at the World Trade Center site.
You know what? Senator Kerry himself wouldn't want these extremist mofos associated with him!"He doesn't need to sell millions of records, he doesn't need to fill arenas, he doesn't need to be popular, he doesn't need your money, AND HE DOESN'T NEED YOU!"

Traumatized Kerry supporters in Florida seek therapy: report
MIAMI (AFP) - Shocked supporters of defeated US presidential candidate John Kerry (news - web sites) are seeking help from psychologists, who refer to their condition as "post-election selection trauma."
The Boca Raton News reported Tuesday that Palm Beach, Florida trauma specialist Douglas Schooler alone has already treated 15 clients and friends with intense hypnotherapy since the Democratic candidate conceded on November 3.
"I had one friend tell me he's never been so depressed and angry in his life," Schooler said. "I observed patients threatening to leave the country or staring listlessly into space. They were emotionally paralyzed, shocked and devastated," he told the daily.
"We're calling it 'post-election selection trauma' and we're working to develop a counseling program for it," said Rob Gordon, the Boca Raton-based executive director of the American Health Association.
"It's like post-traumatic stress syndrome, but it's a short-term shock rather than a childhood trauma," he told the daily.Comment

"post-election selection trauma."
Wow, I love it!!! Liberals invented another class of American citezens who are a minority!
That beggs the question: were they born succeptable to this condition, or was it a product of their environment? Or maybe it was the liberal media's fault for lying to them for 2 years and tricking them into thinking that they were normal, and that the few people who in their right mind would actually vote for W were the real ones who were insane. They sould be suing Dan Rather and Peter Jennings!!!Yo Yo YoComment

You brainwashed busheep don't fucking get it!
It's NOT a Republican winning an election that is the issue.
It's the worst excuse for a pResident this country ever had getting not one, but two terms without a legitimate win. And as long as the electro fraud machines exist, there will be no legitimate wins, for either party.
Its the 4 years of FAILURE of this fraudministration being glossed over and lied about by a complicit corporate media that has actually gone to court to win the "right" to LIE.
When the government and the media no longer care about truth or justice, where the fuck do you go? Where the fuck does the country go?
If the last 4 years are any indication, the answer is to Hell in a handbasket

This part of one of the above articles sums up these crybabies:
Peace and tolerance have long been the words to live by in San Francisco, known for its large gay community, broad ethnic mix and frequent anti-war protests. But days after the election, many residents said they were so worried about an erosion of civil rights, environmental standards and the escalating violence in the Middle East, that they did not know how they could tolerate the Bush administration, or Americans who voted to re-elect him.
When you GET WHAT YOU WANT, it's "tolerance and peace". WHen you DON'T, instead of giving what you have always demanded, you weasel out with words like "worried about" to explain away your hypocrisy...Comment
