We've been angry... Now let's get pissed.
Thanks, Harry. You are the first Dem in a long time to get real. I'd like to propose to your base that we follow suit.

Being polite or calm has not worked. While we have existed on that paradigm, they have lied, tortured and murdered in the name of America.

There are copious financial connections between this administration, their families and supporters and the war in Iraq. We are torturing people taken into custody by American agents in prisons set up in countries that would not object to medieval interrogation. Lie after lie (or if you prefer, got fooled after got fooled) has been shown to be lies...

Oh, yeah. Over 20,000 Iraqi civilians and 2000 american kids have been killed in this enterprise.

We went in originally because he (Saddam) was a threat. He wasn't, so the spin meisters convinced us that it was because he was a bad man (like many other bad men in leadership positions all over the world). They said he had mass graves (Like Bush 41 in Panama and Desert Storm) and said we had to step in. The spinners didn't tell us that the WMD responsible were most likely sold to Saddam by the USA.

This motherfucking administration didn't even offer the thinking American a tube of KY. They knew they held the cards and they fucked us without a kiss.

It's past time to stand up like we have never stood before. It's time for sacrifice or this country will become the shortest lived "empire" in recorded history.

8. At i minimum, keep writing posts like this....
I did my time protesting during Nam and never thought I would be called to do it again. But, I will, by god, do whatever I can to stop this senseless war and bring the kids home.

3. I told my mother (freeper)all day that I want to "kick them in the nuts"
Edited on Wed Nov-02-05 09:49 PM by Gloria
every day...

It's time to keep up the heat. And forget this "nicey nice" crap with Alito. Sen. Johnson, Nelson (FL) time to round them up and put them in a cage, along with Lieberman. Tape their mouths shut and make them vote against this creep, even if it takes a gun at their backs....

7. Lieberman makes me want to puke! You're either for or against
something, he seems to always be neither. Disgusting. Can hardly bear to hear him speak. He needs to go along with the Bushies. I am way past being outraged at this unbelievable criminal administration.

6. It's always better to be pissed off
than to be pissed on.
