You have been well and truly trounced, all the chicken talk did you no bloody good.
If the results are to be properly digested the party that won was the one that took no prisoners, not the one that was ready to sell the heart and soul of their own party.
The minimum wage was extraordinarily popular, why the hell did you not make it a centerpiece of the fight? You should have ignored the lies from the right.
Social Security, Medicare, medicaid why the hell didn't you scream from the roofs what the GOP's real intent is about these popular programs.
Why the hell didn't you hail the successes of the ACA?
Why the hell didn't you look at all the past polls for the populist programs that show that Americans actually care about each other? Then attack the GOP on every single one.
What I am hearing is the same old we can work together.
What the fuck?
What the hell makes you think that is going to happen? The same thing that has happened since 2000, you are going to get your asses handed to you on a plate.
It was remarkable how quickly Americans forgot the disaster of the Bush era, wars and near economic collapse. I remember so much talk that in 2008 that the Republicans were finished for the foreseeable future.
Their response?
They fought back and wiped the floor with the Democratic Party.
I give credit to President Obama for winning his second term in spite of the Democratic Party; rather than with their extraordinary support.
Do really think they are going to stop and sit around a beer and give you a chance to get up off the floor. Seriously?
The only thing on Republican minds at the moment is 2016 they will do every nasty trick in the book to try and make sure they win the Presidential elections and hold onto the Senate. You have to take the house back as well, how do you propose to do that? By giving the GOP a helping hand in a moment of kumbaya?
You fight back with ideology
You fight back by screaming the house down
You stand up for what you believe in
You don't back down
You make the other side pay dearly for every thing they want.
At some point you shout, HELL NO.
It is not the role of the President of the United States to do this
It is the role of the opposition party.
Are you ready to fight back?
Yah, really
Prove it.
