No surprise the third party pimps around here are in hysteric mode today.

You are not going to undo 100 years of Progressive politics with a single vote.

This is a battle in a much larger, longer war.

This is what is wrong with too many supposed "Conservatives". You are so use to screaming and whining about everything you are incapable of doing anything else. You think of Politics as sport. It is not. It is war.

You Internet Conservatives think that there is either absolute victory, or absolute defeat and nothing in between.

US Politics doesn't work that way. Our Founders designed a system that is evolutionary, not revolutionary, in it's working. You are NEVER going to win one grand annihilating victory that forever changes everything to be exactly what you feel it should be. Our political system is specifically designed to prevent such events.

So instead of looking for some titanic great victory and then being pissed when you don't get it, learn to take your victories as they come and start on the next battle.

I thought wars had fights? You know, opposition?

Well, especially when both "major" parties are "Progressives."

Okay. How about we start by throwing every Congressman out who in any way supported borrowing and spending in excess of two TRILLION dollars?

What were there, like NINE who didn't?

That's hilarious, coming from a defender of a party who just showed once again that the most advanced weapon in their arsenal is a white flag.

A white flag Boehner was already waving as hard as he could the very first day the Tea Party freshmen hit the Hill.
