35. Don't count on democrats for leadership against BP - we need leaders from the outside... centrists
Edited on Wed Jun-16-10 08:22 AM by scentopine
will snuff out any ember of change. We all see that now. Democrats and republicans - its like one of those games where you try to find the differences and after an hour you discover the lady way in the background on the left has blue socks and on the right she has red socks.

Don't listen to the centrist bullshit that we shouldn't be angry and anger never solves anything. They are moderating you down so they can continue to rape and pillage while claiming broad support.

Anger creates change. Get angry, very fucking angry. The centrists destroy everything they touch.
