I’m not satisfied with perpetual loss. On the other hand, I’m not a politician, and neither are you. We didn’t lose. Had Romney won, the victory would not be ours, either. We all have lives to live regardless of who is the President. But so long as you take an interest in such matters, make sure that your brutally honest analysis turns into a doable strategy, and not just bitter ruminations, and don’t live vicariously through watching what the politicians get up to. Kipling has it right on that score. “Pick yourself up, brush yourself off, and start all over again,” as Nat King Cole paraphrased Kipling.
We may not all be politicians, but we are all voters and citizens and this is OUR country. WE are in charge of the politicians and we should be calling the shots and holding the GOP accountable. Every single one of us should be assessing the situation and taking action accordingly. All of us have spheres of influence that matters. Saying, “Get over it” completely misses the point here. Now more than ever we need to figure out how we are going to deal with the consequences of this defeat and how we can win with the RIGHT PERSON in four years.
