19. Absolutely correct! It is desperation.

Gay marriage legal in a few states. End of DADT. Pot legalization. Doubling the CAFE numbers. Endless war no longer the majority view. On the Affordable road to universal healthcare. Trickle down being questioned.

There are plenty of reasons why the Reich Wing is scared shitless as their hollowed out party searches and tries to figure out what the fuck they stand for--other than no regulations and lower taxes.

From Meatloaf singing with Mitt, to Eastwood talking with a chair, there were just so many signs during the campaign of a party lost.
