Every 2 to 4 years it's the same Goddamn thing... [View All]

The Democrats get sucker-punched and blindsided and I have to hear the same thing over and over again from the DLC pundits and spinners: "What can we learn from this"? and "We didn't lose that badly, we still won some seats"; or the infamous, "We still going to keep trying to get our message out there". What message? That we still keep doing the same stupid shit over and over again? Arnold Schwartznegger said that he wouldn't run if Diane Feinstein ran, so what did she do? Didn't run. We have some great leaders here in CA. Why were they AWOL? Trust me, if the shoe was on the other foot, and the Governor was an unpopular Republican, they would have found a decent replacement. They ordered Darrel Issa out because they knew there was plenty in his background. I have a friend whose family used to do business with him, and eventually they stopped accepting checks from Issa because he's such a fucking deadbeat. This whole thing didn't have to happen. When Max Cleland was being attacked by Saxby Chambliss, why in hell didn't half the Senate Democrats go down to Georgia and take Chambliss to task for impugning the reputation of a national treasure like Max? Why is the leadership so timid? Whew! I'm coming up for air. I need a drink.
