I am astonished at the amount of populist anger already festering. Obama’s only been Messiah for 3 weeks. Obama is playing with fire. People are enraged, and this is only the beginning.

If the Obama administration doesn’t start to deal with the populist wave headed for Washington, Republicans will tap a reservoir of resentment that could destroy his presidency.

Oh I see. The Republicans will tap into that resentment by nationalizing the banks as Lindsay Graham and John McCain are suggesting. Great strategy.

Lind is right about one thing, Obama can and will be beaten with a 3rd party run in 2012. Palin could be in office by virtue of a Bloomberg ‘I’ run...

They can’t stop themselves.

The libs are in power and they are like dieters locked in a candy store over a long weekend.

Everyone likes the quote about stepping aside when your enemy is destroying himself, but I’ve been thinking of this quote from the movie LADY FROM SHANGHAI:

“Once, off the hump of Brazil I saw the ocean so darkened with blood it was black and the sun fainting away over the lip of the sky.We’d put in at Fortaleza, and a few of us had lines out for a bit of idle fishing. It was me had the first strike. A shark it was. Then there was another, and another shark again, ‘till all about, the sea was made of sharks and more sharks still, and no water at all. My shark had torn himself from the hook, and the scent, or maybe the stain it was, and him bleeding his life away drove the rest of them mad. Then the beasts got to eating each other.In their frenzy, they ate at themselves.You could feel the lust of murder like a wind stinging your eyes, and you could smell the death, reeking up out of the sea. I never saw anything worse... until this little picnic tonight.And you know, there wasn’t one of them sharks in the whole crazy pack that survived. “

They can't help themselves. They're like kids in a candy store. Next move is to become drunk with power. There's absolutely no way this won't end in a train wreak.

I have popcorn if you need some.

Really? I think conservatives are angry, otherwise....most Americans are either asleep or in love with Obozo.

I agree with your first point, that there is an incredible amount of populist anger that is only growing. However I have not gotten sense at all that the sheeple are realizing that Obama is responsible for much of this. Most places I go when these topics come up there is not a single mention of Obama and his sophomoric policies, but there is plenty of mention at how difficult it will be for him to clean up the ‘mess left by Bush’.

We are witnessing Stockholm Syndrome on a national scale.

Geithner himself is a lightning rod for populist wrath. Ordinary Americans who fail to pay their taxes can expect strict punishment. When Geithner forgot to pay sizeable sums, he was quickly forgiven

I demand a Geithner Exception!

the movie LADY FROM SHANGHAI

I saw that movie for the first time a few weeks ago...intense! And I would love to see Obama, Nancy Botoxi and Harry Reid in a political version of the final scene...

I have heard a lot of anger over the Spendulus Bill and it crosses party lines and even ideologies in some cases...

All conservatives and conservative-leaning types are enraged by the stimulus. The no-principles sheeple moderates that swing elections will pick up on it soon enough. Again, it’s only been 3 weeks.

Obama & Pelosi are completely detached from what’s going on outside the beltway. What brought them to power is going to sweep them from it.

One Termers.

What do the republicans do when they get it back?
They will either save the republic or be the last nail in the coffin.

The thought of hundreds of thousands — even millions, even — of Leftists actually (not figuratively) committing suicide gives me great pleasure.

What would be really cool is if they would all gather in a Million Lemming March and march off some high cliff into a body of water somewhere. Preferably, it wouldn’t be a straight shot down to the water; instead, they would bounce off of rock after rock like so many rag dolls until they kersplashed! all bloody into the water. Then the sharks would eat the remains.

Does this make me a Bad Person? Should I seek help? heh heh

Tell me again how the GOP takes 40 seats to gain a majority in 2012? Please....get real....the GOP is dead. We now live in a 1-party system. No - Obozo is loved by some, and the rest aren’t going to admit they have made a mistake....until well after he’s been re-elected.
