Welcome to Pissed Off Dems... Now Piss Off

Pissed Off Dems (PODs) believe in basic Democratic principles of affordable healthcare for all Americans, quality education for every child, preserving our natural resources and all that other stuff. But Pissed Off Dems are also just that: pissed off.

We're especially pissed off at Americans who vote against their own self-interest. There are a lot of you out there.

• Working class voters who vote Republican, despite the fact that Republicans want to strip you of unemployment insurance, Medicaid and Medicare, SSI and any other valuable public benefit, PODs are pissed off at you.
• Minorities who vote Republican, despite the fact that the Republican party hasn't been the Party of Lincoln in 150 years, PODs are pissed off at you.
• Gays and lesbians who vote Republican, despite the fact that the Republican base is confused by your lifestyle, hate you for it and refuse to let you marry each other, PODs are pissed off at you.
• Elected Democrats who kowtow to Republicans every time they threaten you with a difficult vote, PODs are pissed off at you.
• Attorneys who vote Republican, despite the fact that Republicans are eating away at the legal system one piece of legislation at a time, PODs are pissed off at you.

As you can see, PODs are pissed off by a lot of things, and this is just a tiny sampling. Frankly, the list of things that we're pissed off about is too long to type in one sitting. And can you blame us for being pissed? We've been getting our asses handed to us day-in and day-out, even when we win.

In the coming weeks, Pissed Off Dems hopes to engage readers in an ongoing discussion about things that should piss off everyone (unless, of course, you are a member of the KKK, your name rhymes with Prick Rerry, or you're just an asshole -- if those can be distinguished).

PODs is unlikely to post anything too substantive for another next week or so, but we hope you'll keep checking back, or just add us to your RSS feed -- we don't know WTF an RSS feed is, but we've heard good things -- add us to your email alerts, put us on your Facebookings, Twattings, or whatever you prefer. In the meantime, we leave you with something to be pissed off about:

Brad Womack is going to be "the next Bachelor," again. Didn't that guy already get a run at his pick of some 20-odd hotties, only to decide that none of them were worthy of him? Talk about being pissed off.
