For darn sake, why all the relentlessly negative posts, defeatism, and gloom on DU?

20. "It's another Fitzmas" is an example

"Fitzmas" was still a huge deal. CNN had rolling breaking news coverage all day on it. I remember it well! They had Wolf Blitzer on from 9 a.m. to like 7 p.m. that day! Just because Rove didn't get indicted, it still sent Bush's approval ratings cratering didn't it? It still was another nail in the GOP congressional majorities. I would argue that the effect of Rove getting indicted wouldn't have added a single seat to our 2006 gains; that Libby, alone, was enough.

The Libby affair, alone, ensnared Bush and Cheney. No need to call it a disappointment.

Now, if you wanted to see Rove punished for his crimes and jailed, I can understand your disappointment, but Rove's indictment would not have changed the overall political climate for us much in 2005-2006.

It's just like generally, why be disappointed in the little things when the big things are going your way? We have just 10 months to go now until the klown kar closes up shop on Capitol Hill to run for their lives in the 2018 midterms, and then we will have sweeping control not long after. That's what I mean, by the big things.
