Has the pent-up angry in America finally exploded!!!
How many American's have been surpressing their angry and giving Bush and the GOP the benefit of the doubt. But this Schiavo mess has uncorked their angry at last.

High gas prices
Unemployment
Environmental destruction
Mercury poisioning
No health care
Iraq
Exploding deficit
Social Security
ANWR
Bankruptcy bill
No Child Left Behind
Corrupt politicians
Patriot Act


and on and on and on... has the shit finally hit the fan!!!

Anyone who is angry and trying to surpress it knows it only takes one thing for your angry to explode! Is this finally it?

Yup. You're right...if this Schiavo mess doesn't tick people off, then it's hopeless.

11. You'd think so, but...
...You'd think all the absolute shit ChimpCo has pulled would have been more than enough, but this incident seems to be the one that is actually stirring the hornet's nest more than all the other illegal-warring, outright-lyin', Constitution-stompin' bullshit.

Bizarre.

2. just about covers
That's a good list of what's NOT being covered in the media these days... and should be.

3. Go here
http://www.rr-bb.com/showthread.php?t=192874

I was amazed at the people at the VERY conservative board openly starting to deny Bush.
Of course, this is the first time I have seen this here, but hey....
its a start

5. It's not the spectre of a rioting mob that has me wondering / worrying . .
it's the quiet passive-aggressive loner who's secretly planning to carry out something violent. Someone like Timothy McVeigh or John Muhammad.

6. Don't think so for a couple reasons
It is nice where they have finaly hit a barrier of resistance, but I'd be surprised if there is a backlash over this issue.

10. well, yeah but
I'm afraid it's just the same 49% that voted against him and you see how much that did for us. I think it's awful far-fetched that GW voters are going to get pissed off about separation of powers. Pissing on judges is one of their top issues.

9. BWAHAHAHA... OK, I think I'm all right...
BWAHAHAHAHHAAA!!!! Guess not.

Pent up anger? Are you freaking kidding me? Anyone who thinks this pot is on the verge pf boiling over obviously has a lot of friends, all of whom think the same politically.

It reminds me of before the election, when Bush was a sure-fire loser. The plain and simple truth is that a huge swath of people do not vote and do not care about what goes on in the world. They care about things like how they're going to feed themselves, or how they're going to afford a Rolex, depending on what side of the class structure they fall on.

A smaller, but still large, group of Americans believe in what the GOP is doing.

So, to suggest that America is going to boil over in anger over things like Soc. Sec., ANWR, Patriot Act, Bankrupcy Bill, No Child Left Behind -- most of which most people know little if nothing about -- is laughably naive.

Sorry if I offend.

12. Sadly, I don't think that any of this will stick to Bush
They will continue to fall in line behind him. I don't see much outrage.
