The phases of Death and Dying

[Mick Knox]

Can be ascribed to diehard supporters of failed presidential runs.

Denial
Anger
Bargaining
Depression
Acceptance

IMO, thats whats happening with the various "I'll leave the country" "I'll vote 3rd Party" etc Posts.

You'll come around and line up behind kerry when you hit the "acceptance" phase of this traumatic day.

Great job on the effort for your candidate (especially Dean's people were very good).. but its over. Send in $$$ to kerry today!

1. Tacky.

Edited to add:

my father is dying of lung cancer, and the experience of losing a loved one and supportinga losing political campaign are nothing alike.

2. Currently denial, I guess

But I'm not sending anyone money yet.

I'll wait it out until the nom is chosen.

4. Some people never get past "anger"

And post's like this are the reason why.

8. I'm not a kerry supporter..

I'm a supporter of the obvious winner.

This is decided.. so no more sour grapes... its time to move on.org... know what I mean vern? Whats the prize! The championship is on the line and were on the 50 yard line men and women.. Buck up and come together.. or we will most certainly hang separately.

Do I get a prize for the most cliche's in one paragraph?

Oh and no need for nasty attacks now. Come togther.. right now.. fa la la
