| Traumatized Kerry supporters in Florida seek therapy: report |
| 2004-11-09 |
| The Good News keeps on comin'. "Doc, I just... don't know what to do!!!" Shocked supporters of defeated US presidential candidate John Kerry 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 wannna kill, doc... "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. ...and I'm raking it in hand over fist! "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. Wonder if Kerry's got it? Wonder if he'll put in for another Purple Heart? "It's like post-traumatic stress syndrome, but it's a short-term shock rather than a childhood trauma," he told the daily. ...and a gravy train for us. Step right up, Wussies! |

| #7 I'm with you Jarhead. What a bunch of Girlie Men. (god I love that term). The next thing you know they will want the depression classified as a disability so they can get SSI and other disability benefits -- all the better to suck off the public teat. |

| #6 What a bunch of pussies, guys are actually going through the real deal in the M.E. and these cry babies can't handle the results of a democratic election. I can't believe these people are my fellow countrymen - simply shameful. Get over it losers or please move the hell out - we don't need mental cowards like you polluting the national gene pool. Though I must admit, I'd love to be capitalizing on the cash these morons are shelling out for their treatment. Making money off their misery would make me well pleased - then persuade them to go to canada. |

| #5 I had four co-workers opine that they wish to leave the country after this election was "stolen." I offered to help them plan, pack, and move but they simply walked away grumbling. They knew I would hear them and they can't miss my Bush/Cheney 04 stickers, so I thought they wanted my help with their problem. Seems all they want to do is rant and not accept the results. ;-) |
