Damn Defeatism and Doomsaying! [View all]
Harry Reid could not muster 51 votes for a major change in the filibuster rules. So, now, we have folks in many venues claiming that the next four years will accomplish nothing. Some are even expatriates.
That is unmitigated bullshit!
Much was accomplished in the previous four years, and much will be accomplished in the next four years, despite some people's wishes that it were not so. Watch. Help.
2014 is coming. Begin today to elect a Democratic majority in the house. Find the candidates who can win in every state where a Democrat can beat a Republican, and get those people nominated and elected. We can do this, if we have the will to do it.
Do not listen to defeatists and doomsayers. Some of them are not even on your side, despite their use of the word lefty or left in their screen names. Some do not wish for Obama to succeed. Let them blather on. Get out and help make things happen. Much is up to us. Let's help President Obama make the things happen he spoke of in his second inauguration speech. It can be done if we have the will to do it.
