Do you remember this, from 2006....(and yeah, I am pissed off)
DU folks fighting to get dems elected, Andy and others fighting vote fraud, election day an us being happy that we finally had a voice....

We fought against bush and the war, against election fraud, against all things bush (from homeland security abuses to American Indians).

I used to be a repug/independent, I turned as I grew up and for the first time in my life voted a straight dem ticket.

Hope - change for the future, change for America, hope for future generations.

And the other day I spent hours reading over reasons why our dems voted for FISA, and previously I read over why they voted to keep funding the war.

Have our elected dems done good on some issues? Yep. I even posted about that.

But the big things I voted for them for...well, I find them lacking.

Yeah, I will vote for them again and again, but don't tell me I cannot be pissed at em when they fail me and others.

I spent hours finding pics for this video, putting it together, reading RW'ers hate mail towards me about it, fighting with friends and co-workers about the war. And still it rages on.

So yeah. I am pissed off. I voted for BIG change. Oh I will still be here for you, and I will vote for you, but allow me this moment to be upset.

1. I guess the democrats didn't fight hard enough to get real democrats elected.
Some how or other republicans sneaked in as democrats. The Blue Dogs fooled everybody. But then we should have know what they were, when bush called them in to tell them what to do, right after th election. We sure as heck should have known...we should have known and exposed them for what they were.

4. It is easy to be fooled you know by people, look at the trolls here on this site
that have gotten away with that by simply pretending to agree with those against this administration, I don't think it would be that hard for people to do that in real life as well, do I believe some dems to be plants, yes I do, but to be honest I believe the same is going on in the repub party, do you not agree that even some repubs are disgusted with this administration and yet they tread softly and do what they are told, a few did get out of line and were summing ly outed, so you say we should have know?

I don't think it is that easy, I think this take over has been in play for quite some time, the nixon era allowed for them to ensure they did not make the same mistakes though when it comes to criminal behavior its obvious its kind of hard to hide for long.

I think unless the people truly get behind the elected officials who are just as horrified as the rest of us and become more of a united front we won't win.

I do think brainwashing techniques have been accomplished to some extent through the media or whatever, because I see it up close and personal but I also believe that brainwashing is not absolute and can be reversed even if gradually.

That some were not as susceptible as others is no surprise, it is like hypnotism some can be brought under, some cannot...

Those that have not been are going to be this country's only hope.

2. Yes I do remember and you can be pissed off, no one can tell you not to be, how I deal with it all
I guess is to have this inner belief that not all is at it seems. It is the only thing that keeps me from raging like a mad woman, I am surrounded by mostly those in bushe's camp, it's not easy and for the most part I guess I have a winning edge since not one of them will attempt to debate or discuss politics with me at all, or perhaps they are scared their voiced opinions just might push me over the edge, not sure.

3. Just about everyone's pissed.
Now let's transform that anger into action and get a move on the 08 election.
