This is so true: <blockquote>They don't have hope. They've been burned too often, from the weapons of mass destruction to mission accomplished to the last throes. That's why people are so mad. This anti-war congressman whom people respect is trying to appeal to our better nature. He's asking us to rise out of the cynicism and partisanship to seize on a ray of hope. Yet people are saying: No. We don't have it in us. Can you blame them? If what was in the air of that Vancouver auditorium the other night was the death of hope, it wasn't the people that killed it.</blockquote> Here is yet another article, from the Seattle Times. This is so true:

They don’t have hope. They’ve been burned too often, from the weapons of mass destruction to mission accomplished to the last throes.

That’s why people are so mad. This anti-war congressman whom people respect is trying to appeal to our better nature. He’s asking us to rise out of the cynicism and partisanship to seize on a ray of hope.

Yet people are saying: No. We don’t have it in us.

Can you blame them? If what was in the air of that Vancouver auditorium the other night was the death of hope, it wasn’t the people that killed it.

It is clear that Baird represents Baird and not his constituents. Yes, it was a rather unimpressive newsclip but the citizen disappointment comes through loud and clear.
