I know what you mean. If we try to get folks out of denial that there's a problem here, we get cremated on FR.
And if we're in denial on FR that there's a problem, then we aren't being activists.
Sitting here posting day after day after day hundreds of the same tired old posts MAY make the complainers FEEL better, it does NOTHING to solve the problem.
What most of us Freepers WANT is a mature adult discussion of the real issue with real ideas about solutions not this constant hyper negative regurgitating of the same old worn out talking points by people who really have NO clue how the process works. Blaming the Leadership for the misconduct of some of the Senators is a cop out used by people to AVOID actually doing things themselves. There seems to be this mindset among a dozen or so Freepers that if they are complaining constantly they are some how "doing" something about the problem. No, what they are doing is wasting time. Rather then post hundreds of "oh poor us" whines here on Free Republic, how about the people who are angry call up Garham's office every day and repeat their beef to his staff? THAT will have an impact. Posting the same complaint here over and over and over and over and over and over and over does NOTHING. Sorry if you were under the illusion that posting your complaint here on Free Republic SOME HOW made a difference. It doesn't.
Most Freepers are tired of listening to the Whine All The Time Choir screaming for someone to come save them. If people are pissed at Lindsay Graham ONE PERSON can fix that problem for them....Linsday Graham. Not Karl Rove, Not George Bush, Not Jim Robinson. There is NO one who can ride to your rescue. YOU have to do the heavy lifting, not sit around crying for someone to do it FOR you.
