except for one thing...the suicide note tells us that he was in love with two women. I think that's a more compelling reason to shoot himself, not four more years. I happen to know one of these women, and trust me, this was not a political statement...it was a tragedy with political timing. Btw, why don't you people take a man's suicide more seriously? People don't kill themselves over George Bush's re-election. Think, idiots--there's a more likely answer to his problems...

You should be ashamed of yourself. How can you mock such a tragic thing for both the families of the WTC attack and this unfortunate individual. What happened to decency and human kindness in America?

This man must not have realized President Bush is only president for his last term, than he is gone from his seat. G.W. Bush was re-elected for a reason, to finish what was started. Kerry's defeat is only tragic if you view it that way.

I happened upon Michael Moores post a few days ago, but forgot about it. Tom over at Anti-hero did a post on it that reminded me of it. Tom has a complete copy of it just in case Moore decides...

You're wrong, Neil. We think his mental illness and his political leanings were related.

Absolutely disgusting comments all around. Well done, folks, for assuming that this man had no mental problems besides his political leanings.

He's young enough that he could have been entirely schooled in a "we don't play games where there are winners and losers because someone might feel badly" environment.
The word that seems to have trouble sinking into Democratic craniums is "lose."
Lose: fail to keep or to maintain; cease to have, either physically or in an abstract sense

Well, you all remember the massive suicides of Republicans when Clinton won. There were thousands. Would you believe it, thousands?

Would you believe hundreds?

Would you believe dozens?

How about one or two?

Franca's friend, Jeffim Kuznetsov, a 25-year-old student from Russia who lives in Atlanta, said the suicide is evidence of how deeply many Americans were affected by Kerry's defeat. "It's a national tragedy," he said. "This election is devastating to all who believe in democracy."

Um . . . maybe this "student" should study the meaning of the word "democracy?" I'm afraid this is an all-too-accurate picture of the mentality that has overtaken much of young America, due to the prevalence of pragmatism, moral relativism, and secular humanism being so widely promoted.

Eh, one less democrat, although I thought they didn't believe in guns.
