Reply #27: Generally, you are right, but this time it's different.

I'm not exactly sure how it's going to manifest, but the populous is angry, bordering on enraged. Yeah, we know that it was the last 30 years of bullshit from the repugs, especially the last eight, and yet, we are furious right now. I think if Obama comes out of his little Washington bubble, and comes to talk to us as he says he's going to, I believe he's going to get an earful.

But, while giving the grassroots a well deserved bone in the form of Howard Dean could ease the grassroots anger some, the rage that is brewing extends beyond the grassroots and that's the thing that's scary - those people have no idea who to be angry at, they just know that they are hurting bad and it doesn't look to be getting any better. Howard Dean won't solve that problem but it needs to be solved quickly or frankly, I have no idea what this wounded beast called America will do, I honestly don't. I held my breath until Obama took office but as I started to breath again, I realized we were in a different, but still dangerous situaion.

It was the grassroots that uprooted Daschle, but we had help because people are enraged at the gilded age we have come into. The us and them class has become very apparent and the "Us" people are incensed.
