"Hillary Shows a Lot of Anger, GOP Chairman Says"

"Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, a potential presidential contender in 2008, "seems to have a lot of anger" and voters usually do not send angry candidates to the White House, said Ken Mehlman, head of the Republican National Committee."
I (Katrina) can't (corruption) imagine (economics) why (Iraq).
"Mehlman cited the New York senator's remarks on Martin Luther King Day in which she called the Bush administration "one of the worst" in history...."
Well, a recent poll I saw indicated almost two-thirds of Americans agreed with her.
And what's wrong with a little emotion at the right place, right time? When I'm at a party I'm boisterous. When I'm at a funeral I might just cry. When I'm out on the golf course I might be cheerful.
A few holes, fairways, forests and creeks later I might just start crying again.
That's life. That's public life. That's politics.
When Howard Dean cheered his infamous "war cry" he was leading a pep rally. That's one of the times a candidate, a boss, a high school principal gets to, is supposed to, cheer their team.
People lambasted Al Gore for being too wooden and then as soon as a candidate blinks a instant of excitement they shred him for being too emotional.
I'm not saying we should let emotions eclipse good political judgment. Don't go setting cars on fire 'cause you're upset about tort reform.
But we are an exciting nation born of the flames of inspired revolution and tempered by heart-wrenching trials from which we've wrested the exhilarating successes that warrant our firecrackers, parades and cheers.
And our people have also suffered infuriating wrongs.
And I'm mad as h....
Looking at that photo of Mehlman, he looks pretty angry himself.
Or maybe just scared.

What recent poll? I can cite other polls which show the opposite. It all depends on how the liberal media skews the question. The economy is wonderful! What's wrong with it? The unemployment rate is lower than during the last administration. This economy has created more jobs in the last 8 months than Europe and Japan put together! The economy would even be better is we start drilling our own oil in Alaska. Hillary Clinton is an angry feminist. Nobody likes an angry, liberal, socialist, feminist. She's angry because taxes aren't higher, because the government is no involved in every aspect of our lives. She's angry because her "free only to non-workers" healthcare system became a joke. Basically, she is angry because this is not the United Socialist States of America. I bet she likes the sound of that "USSA". It's very similar to USSR.
I'm talking about the poll I referenced several posts below. I'd be interested in seeing a poll saying that Americans think Bush's administration is one of the best in US history. Do you have a link?
With regards to economics, http://www.publicdebt.treas.gov/opd/opdpenny.htm.
With regards to "Nobody likes an angry, liberal, socialist, feminist" I dated one of those and couldn't more totally agree.
And by the way, thanks for posting. I've been wondering when folks would start contesting some of my rants. It keeps me honest and makes me think and helps add to the public discourse.
Evilrightwinger, I love that name. That's pretty cool. I'll check back again when your blog is up....
