Reply #15: Why its OK to be angry

[Aloha_Texan]

I'm in agreement on the issue of "FURIOUS ANGER". Granted, it may not be the best strategy to reach out to independent voters during the general election but now during the primaries I think being the candidate of liberal anger is a fine idea.
We cant allow the repubs to claim it's somehow unamerican or wrong to be angry. Hell I'm f'ing angry, and so are many of the other hardcore dems I know. Many of the party insiders failed to notice the base was getting really pissed off and kept doing things the moderate way (like giving bush the power to invade iraq and failing to critisize that bastard untill it was the primary season). This just managed to piss the base off more.
I'm not an angry dude and dont advocate getting to worked up often but seriously now we have very justifiable reasons to be angry.

1. Our leader made up excuses to start an unjustified oil grab in the name of "national security".

2. We have lost more jobs under Bush the Hoover and those who have jobs are working longer hours for less pay then before, despite improved technology. They can sing about GDP all day but people care about how things are with jobs more then they care about how much crap we are pumping out.

3. MASSIVE DEFICITS AFTER CLINTON FINALLY BALANCED THE DAMN THING.

4. Increased corporate control of the media that leaves lefty opinions out.

5. The administration's steadfast reluctance to work with the world community.

Quite frankly I could go on and on but these five in particular make me seriously pissed. Bush's people can try and claim that anger is unbefitting of a candidate all day but I dont think FURIOUS ANGER has ever been more justified.

"I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore"

Merry Christmas :D
