There Are Three Things We Should Think About Tonight, DU!

[PennsylvaniaMatt]

We should remember how we felt when this happened...


In the words of Winston Churchill, "We may allow ourselves a brief period of rejoicing" after today's events....


A sample of headlines from today:
Mediaite: John Boehner Admits Defeat: 'We Fought the Good Fight, We Just Didn't Win'
Yahoo News: Defeated, some Republicans admit misstep in linking Obamacare fight to shutdown
Forbes: The Houston Chronicle Un-Endorses Ted Cruz

And we should energize ourselves for 2014 so we can keep this man as our Senate Majority Leader, who has been fantastic throughout this entire ordeal


So we can send this great woman back to her rightful spot - As Speaker of the House!


All in the effort to continue the agenda of a President who has been amazing in not backing down throughout this entire process


FIRED UP....READY TO GO!
FIRED UP....READY TO GO!
FIRED UP....READY TO GO!

Keep Rocking, fellow Democrats!

1. We have only just begun, Matt!

This is our time, this is our place!

[PennsylvaniaMatt]

4. Yes we have! And we will continue to move forward!

The Tea Party can come with us, or they can continue to disappear into irrelevance!

[KansDem]

6. Actually, I'd prefer that the Tea Party didn't come with us

However, in the spirit of bipartisanship I'd be happy to find a rock or two for them to crawl back under...

7. There is ONE thing we need to tell EVERYONE after tonight...

Republicans, the "fiscally conservative" party has REFUSED TO PASS A BUDGET.

That is what CAUSED all of this.

PASS A BUDGET and we are good for the WHOLE YEAR.

That's the NORMAL thing to do.

8. Hear! Hear! It is ALL about 2014!

[Kablooie]

9. The main thing is to make sure America doesn't forget.

That's our biggest foe, America's short memory.
If they recall what the GOP really stands for, destroying our country, we will heave a shot.

Edit:
Have a shot.
Damn spelling autocorrect.

[calimary]

12. THIS^^^^^!!!

Now that we've gained ground, we have to protect what we've gained!

Definitely definitely definitely!!! Don't let America forget!!!!!!!

We have two out of three to maintain...and one to conquer again.
