Voters Anger in California
The Media keeps talking about the voters anger in Calif and taut it as a good thing because of their bias for Arnold yet they pick on Dean for anger and the whole Dems for anger toward Bush. See how hypocritical they are and Dems buy into that mess.

It may be time for the weak, faint at heart, and lay down Dems to make the decision to fight or to joining another party. It might be time to say you are either "with us or against us". No, that is not harsh but reality we will either fight to keep Democracy here or say good bye to it because it is fastly on the way out.

Remember the TV program 'The HULK' well his strength only came when he was made angry,AND HE USED THAT ANGER TO DO GOOD not as most people would have you believe that anger brings bad results. I will start the list of things we need to be angry about: What are some things you think we should be angry about? I will compile this list and come back and start a list on what we intend to do about it in a constructive way.

1.Leaders in the Democratic party
2.Apathy of Democratic voters
3.Candidates taken base voters for granted

1. I think that is Dean's strength
being an outsider. The media can blow their spin out of their butts but they are wrong. Dean does not come across as too angry but intense and serious about what is happening to our country. I agree, i think the Dems have to grow a spine and differentiate themselves from the REpugs. That is the only way we will win. We cannot win with the same old insider politico instilled as the nominee. People will stay home and not vote.

The DNC better be thinking hard about Dean's and Clark's chances.

2. Trumped up anger
It's not fucking real. If Issa hadn't come out with his two million dollar campaign and Arnold come out with his multi-million dollar campaign, there would be NO ANGER in California. If they'd picked Davis as incompetent at protecting the state and trumped up fear, then all the reporters would be saying it was FEARFUL voters.

The media has taken over and it's all downhill from here.

3. Over 70% disapproval of Davis?
Sounds like a heap of anger to me. Don't get me wrong, I would have voted against the recall & for Bustamante if I lived in California, but Davis does not seem to be very likable.

4. 70% for the war
Do you really believe 70% of Americans were for the war? Or was it a very small percentage of die-hard Bush supporters with the rest of the sentiment trumped up?

5. Exploiting anger leads to fascism.
As day leads to night.
