I'm not a hateful person, but I've felt more hate this year than ever.
And it's making me ill.

Joe Lieberman, Ben Nelson, John McCain, Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, John Boehner, Mitch McConnell, and on and on and on . . .

5. In my case, yes.
With * we knew what the fuck we were getting.

With this current crop, the hits -- and the outright betrayal -- just keep coming. :grr:

11. It's probably healthier! I try to keep positive, but the negativity in this
country seems to grow. It makes the media happy, it feeds their P&L bottom line.

It seems nothing can be done in the US anymore w/o endless thrashing and controversy even if it's really a good thing. I think things would run smoother if lobbyists and their bribes were gone from influencing congress.

The people often come last in today's USA, Inc. And the US is run by corporations, wall street, banking and lobbyists. Money, power and greed control the US today, not We the People.

8. I don't feel hate, I feel intense anger. It's worse than Cheney Bush Rumsfeld Rove Dov Wolf

because we didn't expect it. In fact, we had high and lofty and soaring expectations.

Crash.

And watching greed and contempt for us playing out.

13. I feel the Crash, a real letdown, I expected with the majorities we would sail
forward and get a lot accomplished. I didn't care for Bush, but congress stood solidly with him and they moved forward. With the Blue Dogs and some others we just get a lot of bickering, They are not part of the solution and keep us stuck in the mud.
