If the Democrats can't pull off a little righteous anger over where the country has gone in the last eight years, then they don't deserve to win. I'm mad as hell and somewhat terrified that our country is sliding over the edge into an Orwellian abyss. Aren't Biden and Obama the slightest bit upset? They need to quit playing a part that they think appeals to some imaginary "American people" and show some honest passion. Bush and Company are basically murdering criminals and McCain is not really offering any alternative. Republican platitudes are vicious; Democratic platitudes are just mealy-mouthed. I've had it with this pretense that Republicans are anything other than they have shown themselves to be. I mean they've shown it over eight years. It's right there in black and white.
