You can only conclude that the 'Democrats' got the result they wanted...

[SnoopDog]

What can anybody say...? All the non-support. All the 'bad campaigning'.
All the bull crap...

Obama? Rahm? who's side are they on?

Mr. Kennedy's seat gone to who? this tea bagger?

As democratic party citizens, we are in trouble. Better get out the pitchforks...

1. Sow some more discord and discontent.

Yeah, hey. That's the ticket!

2. Ya see...

Democrats will now use this defeat as a justification for moving even farther to the right.

Oh, they will speak with such consternation and seriousness when they say--that America has
spoken, and they don't want big government and they reject "liberal" ideas, and that our
party must move EVEN FARTHER to the right!

Never mind that our party has gone corporatist-Fascist!

They'll use this to justify further alienation of our party ideals.

:puke:

sure Nader could have got 75% of the vote. All we needed was Engels 2.0 and the seat was ours!

4. Ok - here's my point...

If I were in charge of the 'democratic party, I would
have sent a 'political army' to help Coakley. I would
have helped her to campaign all over MASS, TV ads out the
ying-yang. I would have spent $millions to insure that she wins.
I would have put here in front of every tv camera in MASS. She
would have been in the news every night.

See my point now?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

5. The only thing I see now is a establishment of a permament divided democratitic party.

One composed of DLC/DINO/Blue Dogs centrist-to-center-right (i.e. corporate) dems on one side working to turn it into a non-racist version of the repug party. And that's composed on old school progressive/liberal dems who want to stop the party's slide to the right (and if possible force those reps to grow a spine). There is now way these two sides ever share the same tent, period. And sometime within the next decade I predict the party will fracture into 2 (or more new party's) because of this.

6. And this purism will result in eternal defeat and unassailable Republican dominance.

Enjoy, purist!
