From The Boca Raton Florida News (http://www.bocanews.com/index.php?src=news&prid=10127&category=Local%20News%20%20&PHPSESSID=dbedc967e0ac261e440983dcdc5d7660)

More than a dozen traumatized John Kerry supporters have sought and received therapy from a licensed Florida psychologist since their candidate lost to President Bush, the Boca Raton News learned Monday.
Boca Raton trauma specialist Douglas Schooler said he has treated 15 clients and friends with “intense hypnotherapy” since the Democratic nominee conceded last Wednesday.

“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.”

Schooler’s disclosure comes after the weekend discovery of a Kerry volunteer’s corpse at Ground Zero in New York City. Georgia resident Andrew Veal, 25, reportedly killed himself with a shotgun blast to the head due to Kerry’s loss and a girlfriend problem.

Some mental health professionals in South Florida said Monday they have already developed a new category for the Kerry-related stress reactions. Because Palm Beach County voted heavily for Kerry, the therapists said, many residents hurt themselves by so anxiously expecting the Massachusetts senator to win – especially those who maintained unrealistic recount hopes after their candidate’s concession.

“We’re calling it ‘post-election selection trauma’ and we’re working to develop a counseling program for it,” said Rob Gordon, the Boca-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.”

Gordon, the first American Red Cross psychotherapist sent to Ground Zero after the 9/11 terror attacks, said therapists’ main concern is to prevent the recurrence of Kerry-related suicides like the one in New York City.
“There are definitely people depressed by John Kerry’s loss, and this can easily lead to suicides like the one we saw up in New York this weekend,” Gordon said. “Luckily, it can be treated if people seek help. We’re urging people to call us immediately if they feel depressed or know anyone who is seriously stressed out.”

Also in Boca, at least one counseling center and an emotional support group were preparing for an influx of Kerry supporters at their first post-election meetings today.

“We’ll let the Kerry voters talk about it and let off some steam, and by listening to other people’s stories, we’ll help them refocus and surrender to the things in their life which they can’t possibly change,” said a spokeswoman for Emotions Anonymous, a recovery group meeting tonight at Glades Presbyterian Church.

“We’re referring people with election-related stress to the Democratic National Committee,” said Karen Jacobs of the Center for Group Counseling. “We’ll do what we can for anyone who shows up for our support group programs this week, but we haven’t implemented a specific program for Kerry-related trauma.”

“A lot of Kerry voters don’t know what to do with their anger, because there was no recount, so they’ve kept it bottled up,” said Schooler, who also is a certified sex therapist. “I help them transform the anger into more positive emotions.”

Asked to describe symptoms of the post-election trauma, Schooler said, “They include feelings of extreme anger, despair, hopelessness, powerlessness, a failure to function behaviorally, a sense of disillusionment, of not wanting to vote anymore – that sort of thing. We’re talking about a deep, unhealthy personal suffering that can best be remedied by intensive short-term therapy.”

Ummmm ..... neat?

It has to be natural selection.

I second the estimate of my esteemed college: Natural selection.

This is also God damned hillarious for everyone who ever called someone liberal a pussy.

Maybe, some day, people who vote for the losing party in an election will be legally required to commit suicide.

It has to be natural selection.

Yep ... upon further research, I have found 17 people who have signed up for this therapy service.

Only 17 out of nearly 56,000,000 people. Definately natural selection.

Nature selects those who aren't strong enough to survive to die.

These 17 may be on that list.

Actually that's just 17 people in Boca Raton for Doctor Douglas Schooler.

Judging by the rage being displayed for a whole week now by the left-wing
columnists of the New York Times, Boston Globe, Washington Post etc.,
Schooler could making a killing treating Kerry’s fans in Big Media.

Expect to hear more about Democrats with 'post election trauma syndrome'.
The results may help them get their disability checks without court assistance.

Exactly what I meant.

I suspect the backlash will be bigger from the Republicans when we take over in 2008.

:sniper: :sniper: :sniper: :sniper: :sniper: :sniper: plz someone :sniper: bush

Here's the number for that shrink in Florida: 561-395-3033

Only if Hillary Clinton wins... but that's a big "if". :)

lol ... well ... she can't win if she doesn't run. I suspect it will be a crushing loss because the Republicans will run Arnold Schwartzeneger after getting a Constituional amendment passed based solely on one man.

However, if in 2008 it comes down to a choice between Hillary Clinton or Arnold Schwartzeneger, I seriously will leave the country.

I'd like to see Senator Evan Bayh run on the Democrat ticket in 2008, myself. I think he could go toe to toe with McCain (if McCain chooses to run, that is).

oh how i knew someone would respond just like you did, dippo Typical of a republican to blow past the entire document and only read the last line, and make some stupid comment.

Coincidence?

Post Election Stress & Trauma Syndrome

PESTS

i would like to see Illinois Bhorak Obama run, but you know the ENTIRE south wont vote for a black man. (Yay bush states, ruin the chances!)

oh how i knew someone would respond just like you did, dippo Typical of a republican to blow past the entire document and only read the last line, and make some stupid comment.

Nope, I'm not a republican -
and I'm really just trying to help confused people like yourself.
Call Dr. Schooler today, please.

i would like to see Illinois Bhorak Obama run, but you know the ENTIRE south wont vote for a black man. (Yay bush states, ruin the chances!)

Yeah... because, there's no black people in the south... :rolleyes:

You really cant stop repeating yourself can you? Just like your beloved dictator. 911 this 911 that. shut up already

You do know bush is systematically taking over the entire nations radio and news stations, right? :sniper:

Yeah... because, there's no black people in the south...

No, dippo, what im saying is that all the hicks from Bush's states will never dream of voting for a black person.

Wonderful. So we make fun of the guy who killed himself over the election, now we make fun of the people who are trying to do something instead of simply ending their lives? I suppose you would prefer that they just buy a lot of guns and go on a rampage through a mall or something?

Yeah... because, there's no black people in the south...

No, dippo, what im saying is that all the hicks from Bush's states will never dream of voting for a black person.

Now you're calling black people hicks? Why are you so angry?

oh how i knew someone would respond just like you did, dippo Typical of a republican to blow past the entire document and only read the last line, and make some stupid comment.

Yeah, make sure you write down that number.

That number, again, is 561-395-3033.

Yeah... because, there's no black people in the south...

No, dippo, what im saying is that all the hicks from Bush's states will never dream of voting for a black person.
Don't narrow it down. All the "hicks" from the South won't vote for a Democrat. The only reason Clinton won some of them was because of the Ross Perot factor.

I didn't write the story.

No, but you seem to find it funny that these people are severly depressed.

No, you're just trying to be an ass.

I have to say, This thread Smells like Ass.

Now you're calling black people hicks? Why are you so angry?

what the hell are you talking about? Are all republicans really this stupid? I did not say BLACK HICKS, i said HICKS, as in, REDNECKS, as in, ALABAMA, KENTUCKY, TEXAS, GEORGIA, FLORIDA. All those states. And really, saying that number over and over again wont do anything but make you sound really stupid.

The other reason bush won- Too many people voted nader.

ITs really bad that this country only supports a 2 party system

i would like to see Illinois Bhorak Obama run, but you know the ENTIRE south wont vote for a black man. (Yay bush states, ruin the chances!)


I'm a conservative Republican, and even though Obama is a democrat, I'd likely vote for him if I preferred him over the Republican candidate. Ethnicity isn't an issue for me. Now, you'll likely never get me to vote for a woman... (FYI, I am a girl.)

You really cant stop repeating yourself can you? Just like your beloved dictator. 911 this 911 that. shut up already

You do know bush is systematically taking over the entire nations radio and news stations, right? :sniper:

No one said "911"
he said the phone number of the snrink but not 911
here is some advise
"when telling someonbe to shut up about something make sure they even said it"

Now you're calling black people hicks? Why are you so angry?

what the hell are you talking about? Are all republicans really this stupid? I did not say BLACK HICKS, i said HICKS, as in, REDNECKS, as in, ALABAMA, KENTUCKY, TEXAS, GEORGIA, FLORIDA.

The other reason bush won- Too many people voted nader.

Oh yes... And you're making yourself sound very itelligent.

"Too many people voted Nader?" What, now you don't think people should be able to vote for the candidate that they support?

Now you're calling black people hicks? Why are you so angry?

what the hell are you talking about? Are all republicans really this stupid? I did not say BLACK HICKS, i said HICKS, as in, REDNECKS, as in, ALABAMA, KENTUCKY, TEXAS, GEORGIA, FLORIDA.

Nader's numbers were inconsequential this time in almost every state this time, if not every state. He certainly didn't cover the spread in PA, Ohio, or Florida.

I think the number was 2.74% nationally. Inconsequential.

First off kerry has all these plans to save us $$$ on taxes correct? (yes) well where does the funding come for the tax cut plans? TAXES!! i am sooo damn glad that bush one i thought that we were all going to be in the worst country on earth cuz of him and dont get me wrong I LOVE AMERICA with all my heart that is why Bush should be the president and now IS.. Basically if you voted for kerry you are against Military, Guns, Hunting etc. Kerry will not minupliate his way into this countries oval office.. Kerry is a lieing scum bag if you cant see that take a look stop watching TV and listening to the radio and look at His REAL INFO.. Yea he did fight in Vietnam but what did he do afterwards??? he flew to Russia (one of the leading Biological and nuclear wepons manufacters) and talk to them about the USA's plans he gave them funding for what though he denies he gave them funding for the weapons but he did give them cash and russia says they used it on weapons.. HE SHOULD BE BANISHED

Yet I'm still not a republican.

Nader wasn't on the ballots in Ohio and several other states.
In the states where he was a selection he only took 1% of the vote.
Bush won because the majority of America voted for him.

ALABAMA, KENTUCKY, TEXAS, GEORGIA, FLORIDA - no not alot of black
people in those states... Now that you've mentioned it, I've never seen a
black person in Alabama or Georgia...:rolleyes:

BUSH WON!!!!!!!!! GO TO HELL LIBERAL ASSES YOUR LOVE PEACE CRAP CAN GO TO HELL!! REPUBLICANS KNOW HOW TO DO IT LEAVE IT TO US....

1. Bush is the one CUTTING MEDICARE FOR MILLIONS OF PEOPLE. Bush is also the one CUTTING EDUCATIONAL EXPENSES. Wonder where else that tax money will come from?
2. Were against Military, Guns, hunting. Ok. So we dont like this that KILL PEOPLE. Wow
3.Ive been looking at the info, thats why i support bush.
4.i dont even know how to talk about that last part. Please speak in english. Bush went into the Texas Air force and went AWOL, COMPLETELY AVOIDING THE WAR. Atleast Kerry had guts to go in in the FIRST PLACE! Not like military experience matters when your leading a country. Were not even declared at war.

When i said 911 i did not mean Suckadicz. i meant how bush relates everything he talks about back to 911. Dont forget the "bulge in the jacket" during the debates.

Rule one: When insulting someones intelligence, make sure you spell Intelligence correctly

1. Use proper grammar. Capitalization where appropriate, as well as punctuation.

2. The election is over, Kerry lost. Do you really think you need to continue to assault him? What's left to prove?

3. Kerry was going to roll back the tax cuts on the very wealthy to pay for tax cuts for the middle class.

4. A vote for Kerry was not a vote against the military, guns, or hunting. He explicitly said he would continue the war in Iraq, and he had no plans to ban guns. As for hunting, I don't think he or many presidential candidates have an official stance.

5. If Kerry was elected president, he would not have manipulated himself there by any means. As it stands, he did not win, so you really have no reason to be concerned.

6. If you did not get your "real info" from TV or the radio, where did you get it? The Internet?

7. Unless he gave them personal money, Kerry could not have "given" Russia or any country money, as he was just a senator.

8. Russia is an ally now. Has been for 15 years. Welcome to 2004.

9. Kerry should not be banished.

ALABAMA, KENTUCKY, TEXAS, GEORGIA, FLORIDA - no not alot of black
people in those states... Now that you've mentioned it, I've never seen a
black person in Alabama or Georgia...

Wait , i said there were no black people in those states? OH SILLY ME I MUST HAVE FORGOTTEN. Let me read through the posts OH ITS NOT THERE. :sniper:

Republicans suffer from Post Election Democratic Complaining Syndrome.

I think instead of you liberals spending your money on therapy,
you should just by a plane ticket to France. It'd make you happier.

Everyone, its not his intelligence that we should be analyzing, he posted everything bush has done. Yet, you guys comment on how he needs a therapist, yet you have no idea if he does or dosnt. You automatically assume that he wants to kill himself because he hates bush. You guys should stop the flame wars, attacking other people personally, and start actully debating or something.

PS. JRFAUST, shutup, you are yelling about how we should let you republicans handle it, bush has screwed up pretty badly so far.

Nein, sukafitz, Frankreich saugt für beide Seiten der Debatte. ich würde nie dort gehen.

Ignoring facts would be more of a behavioral disorder.
Like the fact that Bush won the popular vote & the electoral college.

umm, you kindof where attacking him. Just by suggesting he was in need of a therapist, you inuslted him saying he was mentally unstable, while you didnt come outright with the insult, you where implying it.

Ok, yes, we know that, bring something new to the thread please.

Also, he was saying that you where ignoring the fact that BUSH IS RETARDED, not that fact that he won, that is hard to get around.

Kerry supporters are getting therapy?

The average bush supporter needs some.

Suckafitz just never gives up. He keeps on saying the same things over and over. We keep comign up with new ideas on the other hand. Suckadiiks is just like his dictator, Repeat, repeat, even when defeated. Look to messages in the past and repeat! :sniper: :sniper:

"0wn3d" - Some noob on CS

Expect to hear more about Democrats with 'post election trauma syndrome'.
The results may help them get their disability checks without court assistance.Here's the number for that shrink in Florida: 561-395-3033

Coincidence?

and I'm really just trying to help confused people like yourself.
Call Dr. Schooler today, please.

That number, again, is 561-395-3033.

ALABAMA, KENTUCKY, TEXAS, GEORGIA, FLORIDA - no not alot of black
people in those states... Now that you've mentioned it, I've never seen a
black person in Alabama or Georgia...

Republicans suffer from Post Election Democratic Complaining Syndrome.

I think instead of you liberals spending your money on therapy,
you should just by a plane ticket to France. It'd make you happier.

I'm not attacking anyone.

MY HYPOCRITE SENSE IS TINGLING! (looks toward suckafitz)

and just because france is Liberal doesnt mean i like it, that place is wacky.

First of all, I can't understand how my helpful
advise could make you think I'm attacking you.

Secondly: "France is Liberal" - "That place is wacky" sounds very hypocritical.

first of all, stop trying to disguise your insults as Support, none of us are buying it, seriously, just stop. Second of all, I NEVER SAID I WAS A LIBERAL

This therapy is not for "unstable people",
it is to help liberals deal with their anger.

Well how would you feel knowing your country has now been doomed to become a third world nation, i mean the fact is the UN is about this close to declaring the US a third world nation after the disastrous term of goerge bush, the economy has collapsed, the europeans are basically destroying the only thing that kept the US rich after the massive expenditures of the cold war...the us treasury bond sales to eastern clients. Bush isnt exaclty canny on the economy and not everyone believes in war...still it is pretty damn funny lol that people have to go to therapy over it i mean the liberal government of BC is terrible and i dont need therapoy cause i voted ndp lol
oh and france...is the least democratic nation in europe

Suka, Just give it up, noone here buys the crap you try to disguise as advice.

There's so much wrong with what you posted that now I'm calling that number.

Listen guys, once and for all- Red states, you guys are morons. Blue states, you're aloof morons. I don't care who you voted for this year, but, IF the reds get their amendement, you've gotta vote for Arnold. I give you one simple reason: his slogan for the '12 election would DEFINITELY be "I'll be back." That's it :sniper:

Or the fact that there were, in fact, no WMD in Iraq. Or that Saddam had no ties to terrorists. Or that Osama is still out there. Or that government-run healthcare systems are much more effective at giving the vast majority of the citizens good healthcare than private systems (which are great for the wealthy, but suck for everyone else). Or that our actions do, in fact, impact the environment. Or that global climate change is happening and is a serious issue. Or...you get the general idea. We really aren't ignoring the fact that he won, by the way. If we were ignoring it, we wouldn't be depressed about it.

Well, getting back to the article for a second, I personally think its hilarious that these people are seeking therapy. It makes my week because of how funny and pathetic it is. I don't recall anything about people seeking therapy when Clinton was re-elected, or anybody from my homestate of Maryland when Republican Bob Ehrlich was elected (the first Repub. since Spiro Agnew).

I am the first President to see our nation's mainland attacked since the War of 1812 (not including the handful balloon bombs from WWII).
I helped the economy begin the fastest regrowth it has seen in years after THE ECONOMIC CENTER OF THE WORLD was destroyed, within three years.
I am the only unpopular president to be re-elected.
I won over half of the popular vote with record numbers of voter turn out, something that has not been done in over a decade.
I ousted two oppressive regimes and have overseen the creation of new democracies, a practice that has been perceived as good for nearly 100 years.
I am George W. Bush. I am not the greatest President ever, but I am better than the opposition presented to me.

Rice - Powel (spelling?) '08, baby!

You obviously know very little about our economy in the past two years if you think it has collapsed. Over two million jobs in the last year.

And who lost about twice that number four years ago?

First of all, get the FACTS STRAIGHT FIRST
The economy is in a DECLINE
hes apparently not unpopular iF 51% OF AMERICAS DUMBASSES VOTED FOR HIM.
Set up new democracies? Yes those democracies are COMPELTELY IN PLACE, while Hundreds of troops still die in Iraq.
I am George W. Bush. I did drugs and alchohal in college, and i beleive that 9/11 can only be stopped by me, and not the opposition prevented! (but didnt it happen already)?

http://www.ebaumsworld.com/presaddress2.shtml

And who lost about twice that number four years ago?
No one did. The trough of the job numbers was 129,789,000 in August of 2003, in January of 2001 the number was 132,388,000. The current number is 132,017,000. With likely revisions upwards at the end-of-the-year report, and even paltry job growth, the claim that Bush has lost jobs in his first term will soon be false.

The economy is in a DECLINE
Wrong. Provide some statistics and maybe I'll believe you. If you want some for the opposing side, check out the threat entitled "The Economy", first post.

So Bush has created 2 new democracies has he? Lets have a look at the nice, safe, sunny, wonderous dreamlands that are Iraq and Afghanistan:

Afghanistan is now the worlds largest grower of opium poppies, an 'industry' that grew by 100% in 2004. President Karzai cant walk down to his garbage bin without a throng of heavily armed guards cos half the country wants to blow his head off. Elections there were marred either by gross incompetence or blatant corruption (see the ink on the fingers). Afghans remain among the worlds poorest people (per capita income is US$186). There are so few US and other NATO troops there that apart from Kabul the rest of the country is a death trap.

Iraq is flooded with an organised resistance consisting of both homegrown elements (people who think they are patriots) and foreign homicidal maniacs who think bravado and an AK-47 can beat the US army. As fast as things are being rebuilt they are being blown up again...same goes for the civil administration as members are regularly assassinated, usually within spitting distance of the Green Zone. Elections due to be held in January are likely to feature either low turnout or bloodbath cos, people the resistance is NOT going to be beaten in Fallujah cos most off the leaders have probably fled the city already. Infrastructure is regularly destroyed (like all 3 northbound piplines being blown in one day) and so are the troops that guard them.

Democracies? Give me a fucking break...calling these places democracies is like calling Burma or Sudan democracies. People are dying in the streets be it from bullets, lack medicine or lack of food. Take off your 'Liberator' coloured glasses and take a look at the real world. :headbang: :headbang:

BUSH WON!!!!!!!!! GO TO HELL LIBERAL ASSES YOUR LOVE PEACE CRAP CAN GO TO HELL!! REPUBLICANS KNOW HOW TO DO IT LEAVE IT TO US....

AHHHH I can feel the strings!!!

Wow, and I thought I was overreacting. My election depression only lasted a day and a half.

Oh well. Everyone's predictions for 2008 seem to include Obama or Clinton vs. Schwarzenegger or McCain, so either way I get a break and can campaign for people to vote third party. If I'm diligent, maybe I can swing 7 electoral votes for Nader's equivalent. If not, I hope that third parties combined take up more than a third of the vote.

At the moment, he looks like the dems best bet. He might get them Indiana.

Voting for third party is fine and all, but seriously they will NEVER WIN! if you want a better country you either have to vote democratic or republican, its just the way things go nowadays, and i hate it too. (dont start blaming me)

Indiana is one of the reddest states in the Union. George Bush had a bigger win there than he did in Mississippi.

From The Boca Raton Florida News (http://www.bocanews.com/index.php?src=news&prid=10127&category=Local%20News%20%20&PHPSESSID=dbedc967e0ac261e440983dcdc5d7660)

More than a dozen traumatized John Kerry supporters have sought and received therapy from a licensed Florida psychologist since their candidate lost to President Bush, the Boca Raton News learned Monday.
Boca Raton trauma specialist Douglas Schooler said he has treated 15 clients and friends with “intense hypnotherapy” since the Democratic nominee conceded last Wednesday.

“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.”

Schooler’s disclosure comes after the weekend discovery of a Kerry volunteer’s corpse at Ground Zero in New York City. Georgia resident Andrew Veal, 25, reportedly killed himself with a shotgun blast to the head due to Kerry’s loss and a girlfriend problem.

Some mental health professionals in South Florida said Monday they have already developed a new category for the Kerry-related stress reactions. Because Palm Beach County voted heavily for Kerry, the therapists said, many residents hurt themselves by so anxiously expecting the Massachusetts senator to win – especially those who maintained unrealistic recount hopes after their candidate’s concession.

“We’re calling it ‘post-election selection trauma’ and we’re working to develop a counseling program for it,” said Rob Gordon, the Boca-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.”

Gordon, the first American Red Cross psychotherapist sent to Ground Zero after the 9/11 terror attacks, said therapists’ main concern is to prevent the recurrence of Kerry-related suicides like the one in New York City.
“There are definitely people depressed by John Kerry’s loss, and this can easily lead to suicides like the one we saw up in New York this weekend,” Gordon said. “Luckily, it can be treated if people seek help. We’re urging people to call us immediately if they feel depressed or know anyone who is seriously stressed out.”

Also in Boca, at least one counseling center and an emotional support group were preparing for an influx of Kerry supporters at their first post-election meetings today.

“We’ll let the Kerry voters talk about it and let off some steam, and by listening to other people’s stories, we’ll help them refocus and surrender to the things in their life which they can’t possibly change,” said a spokeswoman for Emotions Anonymous, a recovery group meeting tonight at Glades Presbyterian Church.

“We’re referring people with election-related stress to the Democratic National Committee,” said Karen Jacobs of the Center for Group Counseling. “We’ll do what we can for anyone who shows up for our support group programs this week, but we haven’t implemented a specific program for Kerry-related trauma.”

“A lot of Kerry voters don’t know what to do with their anger, because there was no recount, so they’ve kept it bottled up,” said Schooler, who also is a certified sex therapist. “I help them transform the anger into more positive emotions.”

Asked to describe symptoms of the post-election trauma, Schooler said, “They include feelings of extreme anger, despair, hopelessness, powerlessness, a failure to function behaviorally, a sense of disillusionment, of not wanting to vote anymore – that sort of thing. We’re talking about a deep, unhealthy personal suffering that can best be remedied by intensive short-term therapy.”

Can you blame them? I am starting to think I am nutz. I can't figure out on how so many people voted for Bush. I mean lets face he wasn't number one in his class. It is either the people that voted for Bush have a low IQ, there is fraud involved, or I am nutz.

You're just nutz.

You're just nutz.
ha ha very funny.

dont listen to sukadiks hes just out there to annoy
