Despicable bastards know they can't win honestly. The 2010 elections did immeasurable harm to this country and the Dem candidates running next year must run on that issue.
Public protests can work and sometimes that's the only way to make a point. I see more protests like in Texas recently; we women are truly sick and tired of politicians making women's decisions for them. As in my favorite sign, "I can't believe I still have to protest this shit!"
