I’m FURIOUS, Allegra! FURIOUS!!! And I am extremely concerned that this election will do NOTHING to alleviate any of the problems— in all likelihood, it will worsen them, big time.

Take it out on someone else, pal. I'm fed up to here with the doom-and-gloomers getitng nasty and attacking everyone around them. I'm also tired of you drama queens putting words in my mouth and exaggerting my position in order to enhance yours. I don't have time for this cr@p, or for your coarse and vituperative diatribes directed at me simply because I refuse to cry "woe is me. Woe are all of us." If I want that, I can go hang around Daily KOS.

See ya.

I never attacked you or anyone else, and I NEVER cry “woe is me.”

What I DO, is show my utter contempt for the conditions that we find ourselves in. And I, like you, fight to make change. But I also think it’s normal, healthy and beneficial for people to speak their minds.

Is it wrong to express my dissatisfaction with my choices?

Is it right to gladly and humbly accept the crap-sandwich that ALL of our “leaders” including McCain and Bush have been handing us for years?

Is it right to belittle others for their opinions, especially when their opinion is based on valid concerns?

What part of my coarse and vituperative diatribe do you exactly disagree with?

I am not full of doom and gloom, I’m full of ANGER!!! Raw, pure, raging anger!

Perhaps, you are just offended by my tone, but Allegra, these are not normal circumstances. And anyone who thinks these ARE, is not connecting with reality, IMHO.

Anyone bashing McCain at this point is helping Obama.

No, but it's wrong in my book to fling rude, crass anger at someone just because she refuses to sulk and mope about the state of things. And that tough-guy "pal" stuff doesn't impress me at all.

I don't know where you come from, but where I come from, that's considered ill-mannered.

Perhaps, you are just offended by my tone, but Allegra, these are not normal circumstances.

Damn right, I'm offended by your tone, your foul language directed at me and your lack of manners.

And what the hell would I know about "normal circumstances?" Perhaps I have a better outlook on things because I have seen how bad things can really get.

What do you think you're accomplishing by coarse rudeness? Is that your solution? If that's the way you want to act, go find somebody else to spew your venom on.

I apologize. My anger, as you can see, is deep. I’m over it now, more or less.

But, honestly, Allegra, this is an internet chat room, basically, and I find it a little surprising that you would be offended by my relatively mild rant (by internet standards, that is).

Still and all, I apologize for offending you.

“Horrible choice of an article to post, any conservative who writes this kind of stuff should be required to wear a skirt.”

Or move to Canada.

I’d say the ‘bashing’ of McCain’s ineffective ‘honorable campaign’ schtick finally hit home today with McCain’s answer to a question about holding those responsble for the mortgage/wall street meltdown, and McCain FINALLY naming specific DEMOCRATS like Chris Dodd and Barney Frank, along with Obama.

The response from the crowd was the best Johnny’s gotten since saying ‘Sarah Palin is my choice for Vice President’ in August.

80% of Americans were against the bailout.

95% of Americans ARE ANGRY.

McCain just might have realized, due in large part to the ‘bashing’ how to tap into that anger, and keep the most dangerous candidate since Jimmy Carter out of the Whitehouse.
