This might just end my little hobby of getting involved in politics. I just don't think I have the stomach for this anymore.
Especially when the loser Republicans can rule the entire party! McCain you lost, you creep!
Don't let this disappointment worry you. Seriously.
We cannot always win, no matter how much we want to -- but we are doing better. 1996 was a far worse defeat: we ended up with President Clinton for four more years, and the damage that he did to this country in that period is far worse than us not getting to name our slate of judges.
Not to minimize this. It is a defeat; this show of contemptible weakness with such a strong majority is one that the rank-and-file are going to be very unhappy about. And it is a victory for the Democrats and obstructionism.
So let them celebrate. We still will get some judges through.
