Posted on 11/30/2009 1:02:39 PM PST by Bigtigermike

Seventy-one percent (71%) of voters nationwide say they’re at least somewhat angry about the current policies of the federal government. That figure includes 46% who are Very Angry.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that only 27% are not angry about the government's policies, including 10% who are Not at All Angry........

The data suggests that the level of anger is growing. The 71% who are angry at federal government policies today is up five percentage points since September.

Even more stunning, the 46% who are Very Angry is up 10 percentage points from September.

I would not believe either of the individuals you named if they told me water was wet.

When it it comes to a final vote, every damn one of them will vote to pass it.

What a load of bull sh*t...Anyone capable of critical thought understands the Federal Government has been been exposed as a criminally corrupt organization, that has turned on the American people and now sees legitimate law abiding citizens as the enemy, while pandering to and subsidizing criminals.

I’ll go one further. The Federal government is not only a corrupt criminal organization, it become an *evil* entity.

“When it it comes to a final vote, every damn one of them will vote to pass it.”

Not if they are more afraid of their constituents than they are of Harry Reid.

Their constituents need to contact them in large numbers, and write letters to the editor, so others will contact them as well.

In fact, it would be a good idea to copy and paste your email to them (or report your phone call), and have it published in the newspaper. I do that all the time, and it gets published.

Don’t give up. The left never gives up.

[The latest numbers show that only nine percent (9%) of voters trust the judgment of America’s political leaders more than the judgment of the American people.]]

That is a plus for a gal like Palin. The political winds may be just right for the election of someone like Palin in 2012.

“71% Angry at Federal Government, Up Five Points Since September”
Monday, November 30, 2009

SNIPPET: “Seventy-one percent (71%) of voters nationwide say they’re at least somewhat angry about the current policies of the federal government. That figure includes 46% who are Very Angry.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that only 27% are not angry about the government’s policies, including 10% who are Not at All Angry.

Men are angrier than women, and voters over 40 are more angry than those who are younger. A majority of those over 40 are Very Angry. Only 25% of under-30 voters share that view.

The data suggests that the level of anger is growing. The 71% who are angry at federal government policies today is up five percentage points since September.

Even more stunning, the 46% who are Very Angry is up 10 percentage points from September.

The latest numbers show that only nine percent (9%) of voters trust the judgment of America’s political leaders more than the judgment of the American people. Seventy-four percent (74%) place more trust in the wisdom of the crowd............

"People who are very aware that they have more knowledge than the average person are often very unaware that they do not have one-tenth of the knowledge of all of the average persons put together. In this situation, for the intelligentsia to impose their notions on ordinary people is essentially to impose ignorance on knowledge." -- Dr. Thomas Sowell

"No single person possesses anything close to the invisible collective knowledge held by the society as a whole." -- Jonah Goldberg, paraphrasing Friedrich Hayek, here

"Perhaps the most important point of all is that government officials operate in a fog ... it is important to remember that the information that government has is often no better than what is available to private individuals." -- Arnold Kling

"In some professions, a large part of the time of first-rate people is spent countering the half-baked ideas of second-rate people and trying to salvage something from the wreckage of the disasters they create." -- Thomas Sowell

"The Many are Smarter than the Few" by James Surowiecki

-- Lots more where those came from

Then why is he against Republican representatives filling out a list of Conservative attributes?

Uh...Zero is only a popular guy to about 45% of the country due to the leftist-biased lamestream media which refuses to report anything negative about him or the DemocRats. If the rest of the country knew what we know, his approval ratings would be in the minus double digits.

I’m way past torches and pitchfork-angry. I’m ready to trade my pitchfork in on an AK-47. Hey, I wonder if I can get a bayonet retrofitted on the end of that....?
