I'm very disappointed. I've seen Emanuel, Kaine, Obama, the DLC, and even Diebold
blamed for the election loss last night. None of our tinfoil wearing members are blaming the All Powerful Rove? Surly I must have missed the thread where it is claimed he pressed his magic buttons to cause this.

1. It was a no-win situation. It would not have mattered who was in control. The problems
inherited were too massive for any quick fixes, and that is not what people want, they want immediate relief

3. The ignorant masses want instant fixes because they do not have an understanding of the
true nature of the problems.

BUT what many of us wanted, and are not getting in the least, is an indication of a direction that we agree with.

That is the failing of this administration and Congress.

4. Dismissing them as ignorant is what many did with Teabaggers.
They were smart enough to pull an upset in the bluest state in
the Union.

All that happened is what always happened. Republicans
believe in something which unifies them. The Teabaggers
were passionate and intense enough to fight for what they
wanted..

As usual Democrats remained clueless and non-confrontational
making them look like weak and rudderless.

If you do not stand for something you will fall for anything.

5. You're right...
I don't expect change to happen overnight...I just want to be heading in the right direction. Then, I'll work like crazy to help that change happen.

Hard to be motivated or work hard when you're feeling sold out at every turn.
