This is meaningless. Really, we're always pissed about "something"? Right now we're pissed about very specific things. President Obama should be center left, but he's acting center right and our Senate majority is acting full-on right. The people that are supposed to represent us at least in some way aren't. Like, seriously aren't. I can count on one hand the number of liberals in the legislative branch, despite the fact that there are plenty of liberals all over the US, a much higher percentage than we get in our representatives.

When it was the GOP in the executive, and legislative, at least we knew why we were being ignored. We even understood when it was President Clinton vs. the Republican Senate before Bush. Now? We have strong majorities in the house and senate along with a left center president. And yet the public option is dead, Gitmo's still open, we'er still in Iraq and are escalating in Afghanistan, etc. etc. etc.

So I'm sorry but you can't just give me a dismissive "the left is always whining". This is not by any stretch of the imagination the same as it's been in 30 years.

You should be more pissed, though. Just as there are very few liberals around, there are even fewer traditional conservatives. IIRC, you're a more traditional conservative, yes? Smaller government, fiscal responsibility, social moderate? You've got one guy and he's Ron Paul. I mean at least we've got Grayson and Franken.
