i dont want to be your friend (i just want to be your lover)

As the media sites release their articles on the subject of McCain supporters and their reactions to the election, CNN’s article caught my eye. I’m going to give you an excerpt of part of the article:

Kevin Neugebauer of Katy, Texas, said he was “really disappointed ” and “distraught” about his party’s loss.

“Being a conservative, I think the Republican Party’s kind of lost some of their identity of who they are. I really don’t understand how it could happen,” he said. “I don’t know if it’s really sunk in. It’s hard to understand.”

Other McCain voters took their frustrations to the Internet, finding solidarity on anti-Obama sites.

“We have to watch this guy and not give him an inch,” one McCain supporter wrote. “The same way he criticized every move of President Bush. We have to make things as difficult for him as he did for Bush.”

“The new mantra for all of us,” another supporter declared.

Some voters wrote that they cried through the night, declaring Tuesday a “sad day” for the country, while others encouraged Republicans to “hold your heads up high.”

A “sad day”? Is this serious?

A reader from Andrew Sullivan’s The Daily Dish writes:

Nothing in my life has actually changed in the 30 minutes since it was announced Obama will be our next president. I have the same bills, the same amount of money in the bank, my dishwasher is still broken, and my 5 month old beagle won’t stop peeing on my carpet. Everything in my life is exactly the same as it was 30 minutes ago; and yet I feel as though everything is different.

I feel so much hope. I feel so much pride. I feel like my one vote was a single drop of water in a great Tsunami of change. I feel like I was one of a million voices screaming in the night, ” I love my country and I’m taking it back!” I’m so proud of the country that I love and have so much hope in my heart that we can together heal the wounds that have been such a source of pain and anger to us all.

I know Obama isn’t going to fix the economy overnight, I know he won’t be able to provide healthcare to all Americans by February ‘09. I know Obama isn’t a Messiah who four years from now will have turned this country into a fabled utopia. But I also know Obama will make moral decisions. I know Obama will try to unite where others try to divide. I know Obama will help to make America the beacon of hope it once was to others. I know that at 27 years of age, I witnessed one of the most important and hopefully glorious chapters in American history.

I know hope.

I won’t even post anything tonight. Just watch CNN, MSNBC, or check http://www.huffingtonpost.com.

FYI: ELECTORAL NUMBERS: OBAMA 200, MCCAIN 85, 270 NEEDED TO WIN. Obama won Ohio, and a modern Republican has never won the White House without Ohio…

Do we really only have a matter of hours left with this nut? Seriously. A total loon.
