I'm going to try and say this nicely.

This isn't all about me. It really isn't. It's about my best friend, who is poor and raising a child on her own. It's about other friends who are raising their twin 5 year old grandchildren while their daughter is narrowly missing being blown to smithereens by roadside bombs. And frankly it's about the Iraqis suffering, in and out of our interment centers. It's about the air we all breath and the water we drink, while he throws away the Kyoto treaty and lets the energy companies write our energy policy. Yes I can be very angry about all this. Really, honestly, am I supposed to just be thankful for the tax cut and go on my merry way? I refuse to confine the arguement to your criteria.
