So, did you ever, 'Get Over It'?

[mopaul]

[MuseRider]

1. Nope.

Not for one second. Most of us did not judging by the ever increasing numbers of us on this site.

[Bouncy Ball]

2. That's not quite the phrase.

Getting over it or not getting over it doesn't quite describe it accurately.

One thing is for sure: if I'm lucky enough to live that long, I'm going to tell my great-grandchildren what a lying, thieving, crying, whining, murderous, warmongering, stupid-ass bastard son of a bitch bush and ALL his ilk were.

Only I'll probably clean up the langauage a bit. :D

[mpanno]

22. I'm with you

I don't intend to change a word!!

[fortyfeetunder]

39. don't clean up the language

kids get a kick out of the spicy language from the great grannies...LOL

[lonestarnot]

3. Fuck NO not over it! Getting worse every day!

[VOX]

4. No! Nor will I ever "Deal with it" or "Live with it."

How could anybody in their right mind be at ease with all the right-wing shit that's going on????

:grr:

[ultraist]

5. .

NO!

[orpupilofnature57]

6. No, it's part of his LEGACY now, and forever.

[Bouncy Ball]

7. Oh and I'd just like to see someone come up to me and

tell me to, too.

They'll get such an earful they'll want to chew their own leg off to get away from me.

[spacelady]

32. Too true, thanks Bouncy Ball

and THAT is a really funny visual!

[baldguy]

8. Watching the greatest country in the world descend into fascism?

[Mandate My Ass]

9. Nah I'm just a hate-filled lefty liberal

Stolen elections (see 2000, 2002, 2004), 9/11, lies, war for oil, nepotism, cronyism, patriarchy, police state, oligarchy, oilgarchy, theocracy...
most sane people have moved on but I'm just a lone commie dirtbag that blames America first.

[CTyankee]

10. NO, not only that

I'll tell them what THEY haVE to get over which is my tirade about all of the war crimes and crimes against our society that Bushco. has perpetrated.

HAD ENOUGH? WHY NOT (ARE YOU STUPID?)is going to be my mantra.

[LynnTheDem]

11. Do I

LOOK like I "GOT OVER IT"???! NO I didn't THINK so!

heh :D

[tnlefty]

12. Not just no, but HELL NO!

I don't understand how anyone in his/her right mind could be okay with what happened. I'm partisan, but I could put the shoe on the other foot early on - well before I knew all of what went on in FL - and if I had been an elector and the situation reversed, I couldn't have cast that vote for Gore. In light of all of the information that Palast and others uncovered and in light of what the Supreme inJustice Court pulled I don't understand how anyone could be comfortable with it and it's just getting worse. Strange, how that bit of totally circumventing the Constitution is never referenced as judicial activism.

I give my kids refresher courses via DVD and VHS of exactly what happened. Forget hell!

[mopaul]

20. not JUST no, but F---k No, i love that line

keep those dvd's and tapes, archive these crimes, and your kids will thank you for it.

[LiberalEsto]

13. When they Get Over blaming Clinton for everything

and start taking responsibility for their war, their federal deficit, their destruction of constitutional rights, their alienation of our nation's allies, their fraudulent elections, their muzzling of congressional Democrats, their refusal to allow protests and free speech, their manipulation of the mainstream media......

you get the picture. :mad:

[AlwaysDemocrat]

14. NO! I keep hoping this nightmare will end...

What have THEY done to OUR country? The stolen elections, the decline of the middle class and disregard for the everyday people that makes me sicker every day. I have felt disdain and disgust for other administrations but I have never been this angry and scared.

[Bryn]

17. I can just picture that damn smirky face of *

He'd be laughing and enjoying this string. He doesn't care. After all, he wants to be a dictator

:mad:

[dweller]

15. nyet.

never. It's what gives me the strength to get up everyday and keep on keeping on.

dp

[ismnotwasm]

16. NO

It just gets worse.

[Joey Liberal]

18. Fuck No!

[Piperay]

19. No and I don't

intend to. :mad:

[kliljedahl]

21. Just bought this from Cafe Press

My favorite from DA, got shirts, coffee mugs & stickers.

23. Is Bush still President?

Then the answer is NO! Make that a double NO!

[necso]

24. Well, much depends

on what you mean by "it" and "get(ting) over".

If by "getting over" you mean "getting over the hump", (how I take the words generally) then each particular "it" has its own hump (summit) -- often followed by numerous not-quite-so-demanding valleys and ridges (each to be "gotten over"). If you mean "getting over" in the sense that one is (becomes) completely oblivious or is uneffected by one's experiences, the pain of others, etc, then I think that this is truly possible only for those whose character predisposes them to it (that is, some form of "monster").

And "getting over it" (generally, and in the "hump" context) means (to me) recognizing and coming to terms with the phenomenon -- and the process -- and applying it to one's life.

Breaking up with an SO, for example, can be expected to be bad. But I know that there will be a "hump", and recognizing this, I struggle to climb it -- the hike down will be less demanding of my energies, although I will still need to take due care... Do I ever "get over it" to the point where there truly remains no mark -- probably not... although I might like to think so. But I do get over the hump (and almost all of those humps) -- yes. What choice have I got?

...

I am beginning to think that you are making a cultural reference to "getting over the election", as commonly instantiated in neocon jargon. I got over this particular hump in the days leading up to the election -- when, regardless of what I wanted to believe, it became clear to me that the neocons were going to succeed in pulling off yet another scam. (But I will never, ever, forget or forgive neocon treachery.)

And in this context, I think that the phrase might mean something like: "Fuggedaboutit -- ain't shit you can do, loser -- 'cause we're just better than you." ("Fighting words" in this form, I would say.) -- Of course, I would not agree with this sentiment. The neocons are unscrupulous, treasonous scum, who, if fully exposed for what they are, would never hold another office in this land -- except for those in places so dark that the sun never shines.

[KelleyKramer]

25. No, and now they are 'getting it' in the wallet!

Living in a very red state, I heard 'get over it' a lot.

Now, when they complain about their job being outsourced, I say GET OVER IT!

When they complaining about high gas prices, I say GET OVER IT!

When they complain about ... well, you get the point.

Have a couple of obnoxious wingnut friends in particular who I just love throwing that back in their face. And speaking of, you should see the look when I did that.

And the best part is they usually dont say much of anything back, because its an invitation for me to explain what I mean, and they dont want to go there! They have to sit there and bite their tongue, which neither one is very good at, Ha HA!

[Lannes]

26. Im ok until I see a W sticker on a car

Then I feel like going all road warrior on them.But I keep my cool.

[JanMichael]

27. No. Never. It's never been resolved. It will be someday though.

I'll do everything that I can to bring down a torrent of retribution upon them.

[MoonRiver]

28. No, but I'm becoming exhausted.

Seriously.

[Turn CO Blue]

36. "The antidote to exhaustion...

"The antidote to exhaustion is not necessarily rest. The antidote to exhaustion is wholeheartedness. It is those things you do halfheartedly that really wear you out." David Stendahl-Rast

I love that quote - it cheers me up whenever I feel like I'm just too tired (mentally) or that I should give up.

[marions ghost]

29. "Get over it...."

--means "GET USED TO ritualistic serial abuse by your trusty Republican "leaders," you liberal marshmallows..."

sorry, I was taught to resist, not to submit to oppressors.

31. I'll tell you something..

Every so often, I'll be taking the bus home, or walking home from school, when I am suddenly hijacked with the reality that Bush is President. Immediately after this depressing realization, a swarm of depressing and angry emotions proceed to engulf me. These emotions consist of a mixture of "WHY",and "HOW". Some of it is a yearning for a Kerry presidency, how much better he would have been, he was a thinker, a true intellectual, he might have been a crappy candidate, but he sure as hell knew what he was doing

I then go home and watch some compilation videos of the debate downloaded on my computer. Of course these display Bush struggling to utter an articulate sentence let alone a coherent thought

I then think about all the events that have unveiled since Bush became president, he was rewarded for getting us into a war based off of lies, he was rewarded for allowing 9/11 , how could the American people be so fucking stupid.. I then proceed to smoke a joint and then go to bed..

[marions ghost]

35. yeah I understand exactly

all the emotions of grief and disillusionment and depression you are going through. You can only feel it a little at a time, then you have to bury it again. That's painful, but it is a way of slowly assimilating what has happened. Have faith that this makes sense right now. At least you're not in denial. Related story--I worked for a local Democratic candidate back in the 90's. He was great and probably did win, if every form of election monkey business hadn't taken place. I felt the pain of this very personally. The worst thing was seeing the corruption, the injustice to voters who trusted the system, the injustice to this candidate and his hardworking supporters, the undermining of our ideals of democracy. Nothing was done to address this. It took a long time to get over these disturbing revelations...a process of grieving.

However this experience helps me now, in dealing with what we are seeing on a grand scale --with this corrupt band of arrogant devils in power, who're currently leading us right off a cliff. I am very clear that we need to stop them from carrying out their nefarious agenda every way we can. Americans who know what is really going on are growing and number in the millions, not thousands. Many are going through the same quiet agony about all this--know that you are not alone. Pretty soon something will give and the floodgates will open. The way may get harder before it gets better, but we will take back our country. We've been taught to believe in Democracy, OK now let's see some real democracy around here...for a change.

[Liberal_Dog]

33. No Way

eom

[Catherine Vincent]

34. Hell no!

NEVER!

[leftofthedial]

37. hell no

how do you get over a coup while the criminals who staged it are still not in prison?

[Stinky The Clown]

38. Have a look at my sig line and ask that question again

:)

[kansasblue]

40. no way, no how

[Lindacooks]

41. NO.

I was just talking with my dh about the stolen election 2000 tonight, and we both agreed that was the day democracy died.

I still can't believe the US Supreme Court overturned the Constitution that day and killed this country. I don't think we'll ever recover from that.

And I will NOT 'get over' my country being destroyed.

[Gemini Cat]

42. Nope. How can I?

How do I get over not one but two stolen elections. Wait. Make that three stolen elections.
How do I get over an unjustified war with a country that never did anything to us? How do I get over the lies that led us into this fucked up war?
How do I get over the poverty that is worse than ever and the lack of health care?
Patriot Act? The erosion of our rights? Can't get over that.
I can't get over GitmoBay.
Outsourcing.
Lies.
Death.
FEAR.
9-11!(FEAR) 9-11(FEAR!) 9-11(FEAR!!)



I can't get over we went from a Rhodes Scholar
to the village idiot in one fell swoop much to the fear and on occasion, the merriment of the rest of the world.


Maybe I take longer to get over stuff.

[mopaul]

47. there are some things that just can't be gotten over

and tyranny on a grand scale is one

[OnionPatch]

43. Get over it?

In my opinion, a good American would not "get over it" when their democracy has been stolen twice in a row. I won't "get over it" until we get our country back.

[thinkingwoman]

44. no

and I'm not about to start now.

Fuck 'em if they can't take the truth.

[LightningFlash]

45. Nope there's no reason to.

The stolen election is already coming full circle...

46. Never!

I still have my Kerry/Edwards and Feingold bumper stickers on which really pisses some people off--mostly white men in trucks. I will never acknowledge this corrupt group of thugs as legit.

[B Calm]

48. Does a RAPE victim ever get over it?
