I have seen so many people come through our local food bank this year it is saddening. More families with young kids and elderly people. I was reading one of my foodie type blogs the other day that said, we throw away 40% of our food here in this country. Now THAT is shameful.

Bee, they are not going to grow any. It is enough for them to have and everyone else can go to hell.
JR, I totally agree with the no missing of elections and voting. I have been voting since I was able to in 2000 and had friends older and same age that couldn’t be bothered with it. They all piss and moan but don’t do anything. Last year I did manage to get several involved that have stayed that way, others not so much.

The right has a few on the fringe, somewhere between 20 and 25%; their influence is way over their actual size because we of the left get demoralized. Screw that; I don’t miss elections. No one should. If the dem is a milquetoast Rushpubliscum enabler, then it is past time to start looking for alternatives.

I’ll tell you something else I’m getting sick and tired of, and that’s all this huffing and puffing they’re doing about “revolution” and “the 2nd Amendment.” If they decide to start actually shooting, they’ll find out that a majority of those they consider “liberals” are armed, and proficient in the use of weaponry. Their “revolution” will shatter into nothing as soon as they don’t have their handlers around anymore to tell them what to do, and they won’t. Their handlers are cowards, you know.

Oso, I am there with you – find myself getting the malaise lately, too. I’m waiting for someone in the Senate to grow a set.

The DNC called the other day, looking for a donation. I said to remind the dems that they won, and remind them of who they are supposed to represent, and remind them to get their blue dogs under control, and when all that happens, I’ll think about sending you ten bucks. I got the feeling they’ve been hearing that quite a lot lately.

And Larry is probably correct – all the elderly, or those nearly elderly, that I know vote republican’t. I don’t get it.

I see and hear a lot of people on the left get burnt out,feeling like giving up.much of it I think is a reaction to the Dems ball-lessness and the teabaggers idiocy.

The teabaggers seem to be growing in strength, while we become more apathetic.

you are correct in what you write,yet I can feel the apathy,the malaise hit me too.

The Right has the teabaggers,plus the knowledge that frustrated Americans usually vote in the “Other” party without understanding it’s platform or how it affects the public.As if their time is coming,even though they effectively have had their time since Ray-gun.

No doubt a wide majority of those elderly hitting the food banks watch Fox and vote Repug. The elderly cannot grasp their plight is tied directly to Bush and his Repugs.

The teabaggers and other bumper-sticker-shouting morons deserve our ire, and we cannot let them win through Democratic and Independent attrition.

Keep up the anger:
