I'm concerned that we'll become inured to the repug outrages.
I'm afraid that, faced with the sheer number of stupid, outrageous, egregious decisions these stooges continually make, we'll be so numbed out that after awhile we won't be able to maintain our anger. You know what I mean? That it'll become "Just another day in repug land." I'd hate for that to happen. But perhaps it's inevitable...

1. I'm not the least bit amused with the repug agenda...
I have to take a few days off now and then just to BREATHE but I'd like to know WHERE ARE THE RALLIES? Where are the anti war groups, the anti fascist groups...why are we not in the streets.

So many of us said we'd be in the streets if this numbnuts administration got elected.

WHY ARE WE NOT IN THE STREETS????? I'm ready. The time is ripe for it.

Was NYC the last hurrah for demonstrators? Come on organizers, get the lead out. We need to take it to the public. It will be worse this time because of Patriot II but we still HAVE TO DO IT.

2. Frankly, I'm waiting for a decent leader to lead the fight. I'll be
damned if I am going to stand out there by myself. If Kerry and Edwards can't stand up in the middle of the street and lead us to the front of the White House because they were defrauded, how can you expect the rest of us, who have to work for a living, to do so for days and weeks on end???

Note to organizers: holding a rally in front of the WH on a Tuesday at 1 PM ain't gonna get a lot of participants -- WE'RE ALL AT WORK.

The absolute minimum required for my serious participation is that the actual people who were robbed of the office of pres/VP get out there and lead it. I don't think that's too much to ask, especially since they will lose nothing by doing so and I can possibly lose a lot.

3. That's the day you turn into a rethug.
So I don't think we have any worries of becoming immune to the sick sociopathic idiot rethuggery.
