The Mood in the Streets

All elected officials better be wary....the mood on the streets is getting angrier....

It used to be whenever I had a "progressive" sign up in my yard it would be gone within a few days. My two current signs --"Support the Troops End the War"--have been up for over two months....No one is bothering them.

This morning as I sipped my coffee a man in a white truck stopped by. He wanted to know where he could get a sign like mine. I had a spare sign I was happy to give him. We talked for about 10 mins. He said he thought Bush and Cheney needed to be taken to court and tried for treason.

Whenever I go out in my Impeach Bush/Cheney t-shirts no one glares at me. In fact, perfect strangers give me a thumbs up, a verbal love that shirt, etc etc.....

But the Democrats better not crow....the anger is turning on them too. None of us is happy that the Democrats remain spineless. We are sick of both parties...they both seem to have sold out to the corporate interests. The people would be ecstatic if we had a second party in this country to choose from....a party that represented "us" not the corporate elite.

If the Democrats don't get it together, if they don't stop funding Bush/Cheney's Iraqi occupation and insist on withdrawal....If they don't do what is necessary to STOP Bush/Cheney from invading Iran....If they don't get it together and pass Net Neutrality.....and this is just for starters....they are all going to be in for a big surprise come voting time.

Too many of us have had it. We are no longer going to vote for the "lesser evil." It gets us no where. We are ready for a change in our government. If the Democrats won't do it....well then maybe we will start putting up our own J. Blows to get elected....

If the Dems don't wake up they are going to find that they have shot themselves in the foot!!!

What surprises you about this? Unlike those of you on the far Left, Americans support and respect private property. Even when it is used for idiotic expressions.

It surprises me because my "progressive signs" even for something like a Democratic candidate like Jim Webb rarely stay up for more than two days.....

My experience says that more folks on the far left respect and support free expression and private property than there counterparts on the right.....I have had many a sign stolen and have never stolen another person's yard sign....

But that's a Rove thing isn't...Innocently "project" onto the opponent.

But Americans know that The current extremist in the Republican party are definitely guilty of numerous criminal acts....and the Dems will have to prove themselves if they want anyone to continue to support them....

buzz....buzz....
