The Democrats haven't even taken over Congress yet but.....
they're already a failure? To listen to the Republican and media asshats tell it, that's what everyone is supposed to believe. Of course, they don't assume the majority until January 20th or so, but to listen to the whores in the media, they have failed at everything. Never mind that they haven't voted on one single piece of legislation...

2. These asshats are so ridiculous. let them blather on.
I believe even the kool-aid drinking crowd aren't really going to be able to accept this anymore. They have to wake up.

3. and the bushies have only "not done well"
they will never call out this regime as the abject failure they are.

this is my new pet peeve: even in conservative papers, like the wall street journal, when they're forced to discuss the iraq war- they will only go so far as to say: "it's not going well"

"not going well" ??!??!

it's an unmitigated DISASTER!

SAY IT!

OWN IT, BUSHIES!

YOU BROKE IT, YOU BOUGHT IT, TAKE IT HOME.

IT'S YOURS.

9. It's going to get a lot worse over the next couple of years.
Whenever a Demo calls one of the talking heads on the bs, it just seems to make it worse. Look what they did when Clinton called Wallace on all the faux bs... the msm could only talk about how Clinton blew up, Clinton really lost it, etc., etc. There is so much more to the Dems win than Iraq but that all seems to be lost in the blather.

The good part about it is WE WON! neener, neener, neener, and there's nothing they can do about it!

5. The more they rattle their cages, the less people listen.
Those idiots just produce irritating background noise. We've learned to tune them out.

Time to get on with the people's business.

7. One way to stop that
might be if the Democrats who manage to appear on the political talk shows were to set the hosts straight once in a while, like Bill Clinton did with Chris Wallace.

Timmy & Tweety Bird are way, way past due for a public shaming, in my opinion.

The only reason we are treated this way is because we let them get away with it.

8. Two months before Clinton took office (end of 1991)..
the NYTimes (that Liberal rag) was already carping, sniping and calling his presidency a failure. This before he'd actually named a cabinet. I remember being absolutely shocked and disgusted at the time. Nothing surprises me anymore, of course.
