16. Some are actually pissed becuase they hoped this would
overturn it.

Yes, you read that right.

Some are pissed because they did not present a unified front. Some day you will understand why they did not... there were very valid reasons not to, unless they got a single republican to cross the aisle. Alas the republicans will not do that.

We achieved something huge today, something that most people were betting would not happen...well it did...

Rome was not built in a day... now the ball is in YOUR COURT and MINE.

Now you are POed at the Democratic Party, either step into the breach, RUN for local office, either party or political, or step out of the way. All the bitching and moaning will NOT work to change that party into what YOU want it to be UNLESS you step into that breach and actually act on it.

Otherwise, I do not care if you vote, not vote, or decide to leave the party... I really do not care.... but those district offices are the ones who recruit candidates at the local level, and those candidates will one day grow up to be Congress Critters and Senators and even Presidents... so this is HOW YOU HAVE AN EFFECT. Does it happen overnight? HELL NO...

Oh and by the way, if the DNC elects McLauliffe again (he has been asked to run again by some) it will be partly because we did not do much noise, except on DU... and quite frankly they don't read DU... no time mostly.


So today you have a choice, you can act on what happened today or continue to beach and moan... the choice to build a new world was taken today by Boxer and Tubbs, now my question to you is will you answer that insistent phone?
