1. Increased - we see how many "Democrats" are complicit in BushCo's
criminal enterprise.

I saw "somewhat" increased because I was already pretty anxious. And even so I'm not as anxious as you see in a lot of the "OMG Martial Law Any Day Now !!11!!1" posts.

4. In the immediate wake of November...
...my anxiety level went down some.

Now its higher than ever. The police state scares me and its not just around the corner anymore, its here.

2. Increased
I made the mistake of expecting Dems as a whole to actually care about the regular folks like they used to.

11. Don't cry MuseRider...
...there'll be other polls. I've done the same thing before. You're not a maroon or a moran either.

9. Increased. Wouldn't you have to brain dead or out of touch for
anxiety to be anything but off the charts?

10. Well, I don't wish to insult...

12. Yeah, I think so
There has been no spine exhibited by the Democratic freshmen of the 110th. I'm inclined to employ a scorched-earth policy and start all over with a new group of candidates that will at least consider the Constitution before they change another law in Bush's favor.

15. I tend to agree with you. Are we going to have to outsource
viable candidates too? (Sorry, I felt a wave of silliness wash over me.)
We have been duped, for sure.
