It's why I'm such a smartass on DU. I want all the Repubs who can read to get despair from my mocking and insults.

If you're posting articles that are telling us to despair, or that there's nothing we can do about it, that it's a foregone conclusion, you better expect that I'm going to report it. If it's the title of the article, maybe consider posting something else that gets your point across.

and some people wallow in despair and attempt to infect others with despair, what does that say about their intentions? Nothing good that I can see.

Then again, I am not a buck up and pull up your bootstraps kind of person.

Never have been. Never will be.

I've been in despair since Friday night. The hits just keep coming.

I've got to pull myself out of it.
