(11,213 posts)It won't help us win, but you can feel real good about your huff.
My Democratic neighbor just took his mom to wal-mart. He said everyone there was cheering the romney "victory".
My brother works a blue-collar bar on Wednesday nights. He said it was wall-to-wall cheering for mitt. A boom night for beer sales (no tips, of course. after all they are republicans).
If we keep our heads up our asses and just puff about how great we really are, we will be doing the same next year when they swear in mitt. Obama needs to get it on the ball. Yes, you are right. They need to be called on their lies. But not the next day, or the next week. Clinton formed his immediate response team to hit back in the newspapers the next day. We can't wait until the next day in this age. Obama needs to have the facts and be able to put them into sound bites. He needs to refute the lies with data on the spot. Call a liar a liar. He let way too many go last night.
So you can continue the in-fighting and going after other Democrats by calling them names and playing games. You can do that if you've already given up.
