   The anger is driven by fox news and talk radio!
   AND the horrible people these people put up there as candidates.
   I was watching the Fiorini/Boxer debate, and all Fiorini did was insult Boxer....on EVERY question. Sort of like weholdthesetruths does here.
   Does not answer a question with fact or a reason for disagreeing....simply insults the person speaking.
   Fiorini must have said "bitter partisan" and "do nothing senator" a million times.
   
   Meanwhile, SHE is the one sounding bitter and partisan!! People like her are the reason for the anger, and it is directed at the wrong people. It is not the Dems being in power that caused this
   mess--this is from 8 years of a Republican presidency and 12 years of them controlling Congress.
   And their only actions since Obama was elected is to obstruct and insult.
   
   Really really pathetic. And the cause of the division and hatred that is here in America now above all else.
   They should be shamed of themselves, but that would take an iota of humanity---which they do not possess, IMO.

      You haven't got a clue how the economy works, why we're experiencing seriously financial meltdown, and why everything our nutcase president wants to do is stupid beyond comprehension.

            Bush was a train wreck and I can admit that, he spent and spent and when change was offered up the people jumped at it.
            
            We didn't want more out of control spending we wanted change from out of control spending.
            
            Obama ran as a moderate and fooled enough of the independents into thinking he would govern as one.
            
            The Republicans will gain in the November elections and its possible they will take control of the House and Senate.
            
            The test will be can they learn from their mistakes and steer the economy back to where they once had it.

   The anger is driven by reality.  Boots on the ground, nose to the grindstone, real live reality.  The reality where people you know personally have lost long held jobs.  The reality where you yourself along with neighbors and friends are attending town hall meetings, city council meetings, political rallies and you are being called names for doing it by your representatives, even by your president.
   
   The politicians who have lost all respect for the electorate and who demonstrate that lack of respect will pay in November and in the years to come.
