Republicans are still trying to lower the morale of Democrats
With them saying "You guys won? Well... the winners were all Conservative Democrats."

Tell 'em to SHUT UP!

We're the big tent party now, besides why do you think Moderate and Conservatives joined us? They too want a change, they want to bring accountability to Washington D.C. And the Conservatives who have won are still not as Right Wing as the Right Wing of the Republican Party is, everybody needs to remember that.

Don't let them lower your morale!

2. I've been hearing that too.
It's the new meme. The Democratic victors are mostly very conservative.

I do believe that a few of them are, but certainly not all. And I honestly
believe that all Dems have a responsibility to be a people-first party
and put out a thoughtful agenda in favor of healing and recovery from
the insane excesses of BushInc.

7. They are spinning
moderate or centrist to mean "conservative," because in today's GOP, moderate or centrist IS conservative. Today's GOP is dominated by theocrats and fascists. Relatively speaking in GOP terms, any move to the LEFT is a move to the center.

Yesterday's wave was a moderate/centrist wave to move governing back to the center and away from the fascist direction we were going.

6. Agree.
and they're only using that phrase because they can't swallow the truth so they have to use the spin tactic again.

5. I got pretty sick last night...
of all the rethug talking heads getting to explain why the Democrats won. :eyes: I'm pretty pissed at the media over it since they knew from the polling that the Dems would at least take the House and they still made sure all the talking heads they had on were conservatives.
