(6,234 posts)In any case, feel free to write the history in whatever was makes you feel good. Here's what's going to happen in 2014 and 2016. The American people are going to kick our party in the teeth, we will have bloody well earned it, and these forums will be flooded with posts blaming liberals for our loses.
The American people will be offered a choice between two parties:
Democrats: who after six YEARS still have us locked into a war in Afghanistan and who are merrily slaughtering men, women, and children across the middle east with our drone murders. We are the party of the police state and corporation, the party of domestic spying, the party who thought BP was the perfect company to decide when the Gulf was clean enough, who thinks a toxic pipeline across the breadbasket of America is a swell idea, and which thinks fracking is fucking awesome. We are now the party of Free Trade and the party fighting to gut Social Security.
Six years of hopelessness and stagnation and depression, no hope in sight, and we are claiming that the economy is fine and even if it's not we have no fucking clue or plan how to fix it. Six years is a long time, and all we've gotten out of it is excuses and lies.
And then there's the GOP. They're like Democrats, except they have some crazy Christians in the fringes and they claim they know how to get the economy moving again. That's how the American people are going to see them, and after the midterms the party leadership is going to kick social conservatives to the curb and focus on '16.
