Hey Repukes you lost!

I can't believe the fucking spin going on in our corporate media right now. They're all falling all over themselves trying to blame both sides and saying the repukes didn't lose anything.

Well fucking repukes time for some reality:

You lost the presidency in 2008

you lost the senate in 2008

you lost the house in 2008

you lost the legislative vote in 2008

you lost the ACA case in the US Supreme Court

you lost the senate in 2012

you lost the shutdown fight in 2013

so either you're willing to accept democracy or not...

so far it shows you're not, well then if you can't respect the Democratic traditions
and decisions of our nation get the fuck out

quit making excuses, quit making veiled threats, quit obstructing!!!

The tendency is to be inclusive and come to a mean rather than identify and evaluate the separate players.

The GOP is our national disgrace and this has to be identified and addressed.

We still are yoked to austerity, and ALEC is quite handily winning at the state level.
The Dems still consider only giving in a little bit - this time, every time - as a victory.
When I see Dems actually and powerfully advocating traditional Dem values, then I will feel as if the GOP is losing. They are managing to get their way on job creation, infrastructure, and making cutting Social Security and Medicare benefits sound reasonable.
I wouldn't spike the football or do a victory dance as yet.
