Do the dems ever just win?
I mean it all is so exhaustingly hard fought for, and fails in such a crushingly mind blowing way. I just want a win and I want to control the narrative on that win. Being a dem in republican Wisconsin county USA is so tiring.

2. As long as they choose to play defense, they will never win.
Look how long it took them to get up the nerve
to get on message and stay on message on Women's
Health.

3. Ever get the best of a rich guy?
Edited on Sat Apr-09-11 12:29 AM by The_Casual_Observer
Like the guy who owns the business you work for, or the guy that owns the car dealership?

Same shit.

6. Immediately after the 2008 win the left began knee capping the winner.
It wasn't good enough.

9. No, the reality of it is that the left wasn't in on the victory.

12. Than expecting their devotion is rather silly, isn't it?
If the Left had nothing to do with it, then what incentive is there for them to vote for your side, or any side? You just stated that the Left wasn't in on the results, so why should they bother in the future? If they don't get involved you'll whine. If they do get involved you'll say they weren't in on the final tally, as you just did. If things go against you you'll blame them for not doing enough. You have all the blame bases covered, except the one staring at you in the mirror.

More than anything, I wish the center would decide if the Left is the root of all evil or so irrelevant that they barely deserve mention. I can't decide on how guilty I should feel until you decide my level of blame for me.

10. You have to wonder what motivates someone to dig up the dead
to make their case. They just look silly.
