My beau, The Commie, says it's because they are acting like they are still in charge and that the are still arrogant in thinking they are right. I think my emotions are much more base than that. Do any of you feel this? Even on occasion?

tridim (1000+ posts) Tue May-19-09 02:29 PMResponse to Reply #1 6. Which Dems are treating them like they're still in charge?
phantom power (1000+ posts) Tue May-19-09 02:40 PMResponse to Reply #6 14. It would be far faster to list the ones who aren't. Kucinich is on the short list. There's a couple others whose names I forget.What's coming out of our Dem-controlled congress? Impeachment was off the table. Releasing torture photos is off the table. Limits on credit card interest rates are off the table. Single payer is off the table. Today we learn that Dems have refused to fund closing Guantanamo. 42/46 mountain top mining permits were just granted in WV. CEO pay caps are off the table. They're still debating the solvency of SS, as if the Dems hadn't won that battle recently.Seriously, putting aside my own personal ire, if I was just presented with headlines, I wouldn't ever guess that the Dems control both houses of Congress and the presidency.

Because the reasons you listed can be easily dismissed as typical political compromise. That's nowhere near the same as proclaiming "the Republicans are still in charge".There are certainly a handful of RINOs and bluedogs in our party, but can you name a real Democrat who acts like the Republicans are still in charge. I'm just not seeing it in black and white like you apparently do.
phantom power (1000+ posts) Tue May-19-09 03:04 PMResponse to Reply #24 25. Why are we "compromising?" Only 20% of people identify as GOP. This is exactly my point. The very fact that there is all this compromise going on, is the demonstration that the GOP continues to drive the debate.Their ideas are exactly as bad as they have been for the last 30 years. There is no earthly reason to "compromise" with them, as if their ideas were legitimate, or even as if a large number of Americans agreed with them (bad as they are). Their ideas stink, and hardly anybody supports them.But Congress, Obama, and the MSM continue to proclaim that compromising is important.That's maddening, if you ask me.
tridim (1000+ posts) Tue May-19-09 03:14 PMResponse to Reply #25 28. Because that's how the American government is supposed to work. Would I rather the Dems just ignore the Republicans? Of course, but we're up against 220 years of American history here. Ignoring the minority is what the Republicans did for 40 years, not because they're better than us or because they're right, but because they don't know jack about governing and they're assholes.Remember when Obama said, "I'm everyone's president". IMO that is a very GOOD thing, and completely the opposite of what the Republicans believe.

Because they're loathesome, lying scum Even if they're out of power, their behavior is so unbelievably arrogant and dishonest, the only reasonable reaction is rage.The fact that the corporate media continue to ask "how high?" when they order "jump" doesn't help.
tularetom (1000+ posts) Tue May-19-09 02:31 PMResponse to Original message 9. You have to work on that "nearly" part. If you don't experience totally blind rage at them you aren't trying hard enough.
Bigmack (1000+ posts) Tue May-19-09 02:35 PMResponse to Original message 12. More than ever... Not only did they... perhaps.... kill this country, but they have no remorse or sense of decency. The shit they continue to spew is an outrage, and only somebody like Jon Stewart... a fake news show, fer crissakes... seems to be able to see it or say anything about it. I cought about two minutes of Medved yesterday. His guest was the Newt. According to those assholes, the Repubs won. Maybe they did.

Why do I still experience periods of nearly blind rage towards the rethugs?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x5683997 Your a DUmmie liberalwitch. Blind rage is all you have. I'm not sure what MSM this loser is watching, I guess I don't get those channels.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
Oh, and libs? You show your "blind rage" to me, I have a full clip of .45 ACP Black Talons just waiting to be released.
