My ANGER at them is a big part of my motivation to vote for Obama
I'm ANGRY about Florida in 2000

I'm ANGRY about Enron

I'm ANGRY about the manipulation of the energy markets to remove Gray Davis

I'm ANGRY at Al Quaida for attacking America on 9-11, and I'm PISSED OFF that Osama Bin Laden hasn't been stuffed and mounted in a display case at "Ground Zero"

I'm ANGRY about being deceived into going to war in Iraq, and thousands of Americans dying for WMDs that weren't there and a stable government in a nation I don't give a damn about, to bring stability to neighboring nations I don't give a damn about

I'm ANGRY that more decent Americans die from lack of decent medical care than terrorism, but there's a war on terror, and not a war for medical care.

I'm ANGRY that I have to hear those bastards bray about Ayers, while Sarah Failin' is married to a secessionist, and John McSame gets a pass for his friendship with David Ifshin

I'm ANGRY we opened a concentration camp in Cuba

I'm ANGRY that I have to hear about lies told by FAUX, Limbaugh, Savage, Boortz, Ingraham, Miller, Beck, Hannity, BillO, et. al., but it's still somehow all about a "liberal media"

I'm ANGRY about being lectured about family values by a man who cheated on wife 1, married a beer heiress half his age, and who belongs to the party that brought us Larry Craig, Mark Foley, and others.

There's more, but I've taken up enough time here.

(note: this was originally posted as a response to http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x7400860. At the suggestion of asdjrocky, I'm posting it as an OP. It is my response to the so-called "growing outrage" among McSame supporters. I'm sure I'm not alone, in that the last 8 years (Hell - the years since Reagan) have built up some rage in me as well)

1. I'm angry too
but I knew when I heard Barack's speech at the Dem Convention in'04 that I would vote for him someday. I just didn't think it would be this soon.

3. Reasons to Vote For Barack
Barack Obama is a man of vision.

He is a man about change.

He is a man about Hope.

He is a a man about Hope and Change.

He is a man who believes that the government is there to make others treat you fairly.

He believes that if you have a lot of money, you should be giving that money freely to others who have little or none.

He is a man who will stand up for you!

He will make sure that all your concerns are addressed to your satisfaction, regardless of who has to pay for it.

There are plenty of millionaires out there who can fund these programs.

He will not give them to you for free though, because he believes you should be out there organizing others to force change upon those who do not want to change.

Remember the famous words from another great man of vision, JFK, "Ask not what your country will do for you, but what you will do for your country."

He is a man with many accomplishments.

He has organized many people.

He has registered many voters, some of who have passed away but will still cast their votes from beyond.

CmonBarack
