Think about it - the Tea Party cost the republicans the senate

[LynneSin]

Nevada and Delaware both had normal candidates running in the primaries and yet they went with the flakes like Angle and O'Donnell. Tea Party senate candidates lost in Colorado and West Virginia too. And a fricking WRITE-IN beat a tea-party candidate in Alaska.

1. I can't get excited about that considering the teabaggers won in my state

:(

I just can't.

2. I know it's tough and that's a loss that hurt everyone

but we need to start fighting again now so we can win back what we have loss.

I know we can do it!

3. I will eventually, but my spirit is broken right now.

I just cannot give a shit at the moment. Wisconsin got fucked. And we lost Russ. That literally brings me to tears. If a man like Feingold can lose to THAT FUCKING MORON...THAT goddamned idiot - I give up giving a shit.

At least for a bit. I need to heal.

4. I'm looking for silver linings...

This weakens Palin. If she can't help others get elected, she can give up on the idea of running for prez. Her running would be extremely stressful for me. Anyone who thinks she can't win has to consider how many stupid people there are in this country...and they are multiplying. Her as prez would be my worst nightmare.

5. There were some unintended consequences...

but in general the whole Tea Party narrative seems to have worked almost according to plan.

Bill Clinton once said "the media is the government".

The Dems need to remember this and build their own overarching narrative
(or at least try harder to deflate the obviously bogus narratives of the RW).
