Because it seems like the "conservative movement" is heading closer and closer to self-destruction.

All of this anger and no one outlet for it is going to cause you to explode, it seems like.

So, how angry are you? On a scale of one to seething.

EDIT: Furthermore, WHY are you so angry? President Obama has been in office for 3 months.

Locked for the "have you stopped beating your wife" quality of the question.

The OP may be sincere, but that's not the point. It's too provocatively posed.

I'm not allowed to ask that question? I would think there wouldn't be a more appropriate time than now, what with all of the faux populist "outrage" going on.

Or fighting to regain it's fiscal Conservative standing after having it's leaders fail them

Looks to me like they found an outlet, what else would you call the tea party?
So, how angry are you? On a scale of one to seething.
On fiscal issues? 1 notch angrier than when Bush was in charge with D's controlling Congress, 2 notches more than when Bush was in charge with a R Congress. In other words it's been building as it rightfully should.
EDIT: Furthermore, WHY are you so angry? President Obama has been in office for 3 months.

Yep, only 3 months and has spent how many trillion and has promised how many more trillions? Hmm....


Or since this is basically a troll thread. FOAD?

They way I see it, if Obama is making the GOP angry, he's doing something right.

My question to you is why is the left not angry? The budget is unsustainable. There was outrage at Bush for his spending, but until the economic collapse there was some light at least even best case scenario taking until 2012. Obama has blown that out of the water.

Every voter in America should be angry.... but half of us don't want to hurt Obama's feelings.

Sure he is been office for only 3 months... but I can bet hte U.S. government cannot account for a lot of the money that has been spent in those three months.

Probably not until they're feeling deja vu in April 2013.

I figure by then, they will have cried 'wolf'...err...I mean 'socialist' enough times to realize nobody is listening.

Depends on who they follow. Limbaugh: OMGSOCIALISMISHERE!! Orielly: ANTICHRISTIANTAXANDSPENDLIBRULMEDIA! Lou Dobbs: Dey took our jaerbs! :p

I don't think that they are angry, just provoked. Not necessarily by the dems, but by the own wedge-issue machinery of their own party that worked so well on the rest of us for the past few years. Too much fud around to be sure about any real causes...

Speaking of self-destruction...From where I'm standing the tea parties were completely underwhelming. The only real resolution was that Fox News is now confirmed as an overt political activist group. Clearing that up is nice, but we all already knew that.

Other than that, I don't see any real anger--just confusion.

Did MSNBC tell you the conservative movement is self-destructing? :p

I know many Democrats who are pissed off with the early direction of the Obama administration too.

But I suppose you can live in your dreamworld all you want. ;)
