By equating the two, it sounds like you don't see a substantive difference between what happened in Wisconsin and what happened in the Supreme Court ruling.
You are trying to read assumptions into my post that were not there in the first place. I was not trying to “equate” the recall results with the decision on Obamacare. My post was not intended to be a comparison of the election in Wisconsin with the Supreme Court decision.
The point of my post had to do with comparing reactions to a political defeat. I was comparing (not necessarily equating) the reaction of the crying man in Madison with the the hand wringing that seems to be occupying the attention of a number of conservatives. It is not a flattering comparison and I did not intend it to be so. It is my hope that the grieving process (if that is what it is) will quickly end and all can get focused on what comes next.
I would want to point out that in my post I specifically said that we should not sugar coat the decision or pretend that it is really a good thing. I feel horrible about it and said so. But dwelling on an attitude of “all is lost” is not realistic or helpful. What I believe is realistic is understanding that it will be a tough road ahead and the sooner we get off the grief thing the better.
