Kennedy seat loss has driven DU mad

[Liberal_in_LA]

Seems like it anyway.

:scared:

[DainBramaged]

1. yup

I'm still pissed

[Liberal_in_LA]

2. It will be ok

[FrenchieCat]

3. That was small potatos compared to today's decision by SCOTUS.

[Liberal_in_LA]

6. I noticed that today's decision brought the rage level up 3 notches.

[DainBramaged]

16. I have Netflix, Barrett-Jackson, other stuff to do, and I'm here tonight

as are so many of us. I am pissed at the theft of Democracy. I am pissed at the insult we dealt to Ted Kennedy's memory,I am pissed that members of the Supreme Court once again decided against the people.

[gkhouston]

18. It's increased more than the "rage" level.

I've seen more pizza targets on DU than I find when I read fairy tales to my kid.

4. I live in MA, and I'm coping.

I still think of us being represented by Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) and Sen. Ted Kennedy's Vacant Senate Seat (D-MA).

That little weasel Brown is just borrowing it until Capuano tears him in two in 2012.

[Ken Burch]

13. I hope you're right.

And I hope 2012 isn't too late to matter.

[pipi_k]

21. Me too. I was disgusted yesterday, but after going out into the world...

I saw that life was going on as normal.

The state hadn't exploded or fallen into the ocean.



Life goes on.

Maybe he'll turn out to be decent. Maybe not. If he doesn't, he'll no doubt be disposed of by the voters.

[MassMark]

24. Senator Capuano?

You must be kidding....Considering the sheer numbers, (Dems vs Rep) in Massachusetts, perhaps Scott Brown was voted to the seat for a reason?

[Arkana]

25. Ahahahahahahahahahaha

Aren't you CUTE.

You honestly think Brown was voted in because Massachusetts is swinging further right? I suggest you take a hard look at some of the ancillary polling data. But, since you're about to get your ass blasted out of here AND you're a Freeper, I don't expect you will.

5. .......

"I've been mad for fucking years, absolutely years, been
over the edge for yonks, been working me buns off for bands..."

"I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the
most of us...very hard to explain why you're mad, even
if you're not mad..."

[NRaleighLiberal]

7. It's much more than that. It's been building up for some time.

How many more straws can break the camel's back?

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

8. That implies that it was sane up until Tuesday.

I don't think that's correct.

[Liberal_in_LA]

11. lol...good point. But it seems the wheels have really gone off the wagon.

[Grand Taurean]

9. This has been a HORRIBLE week for all of us.

[Liberal_in_LA]

15. Remember... it was just a year ago that we took everything... gains in senate/house, won the prez

We've had a good year...overall

[falcon97]

20. And the uneven response

from Congress and the President since Tuesday has increased the tension. Adding to it: Air America bankruptcy. :(

[gkhouston]

10. Short drive.

:hide:

[joeybee12]

12. "Der" Driven us "madder" n/t

[xchrom]

14. And we should be how? Nt

[Terra Alta]

17. damn right it's driven me mad

and today's ruling by the USSC only made matters worse.

Would someone please tell me there's a light at the end of this long, dark, tunnel?

[dgibby]

23. Sure, only it's the headlight on an oncoming locomotive. n/t

[BP2]

19. With everything this week, I'd say we could recover quickly - even with the loss of HCR. But with

Supreme Court ruling today, all but most-chaste Democrat politician is now
open to the highest corporate bidder.

Do you think the majority of Congressional Democrats have Progressives' best
interests at heart? I question that logic to the Nth degree.

I hate to be so cynical, but looking at the shitty HCR Bill that came
out of the Senate, with all the corporate payoffs & bennies, how can I possibly think
anything else?

[Gman]

22. Nah, DU has been like this since less than 48 hours after the 08 General Election

long about the time Obama announced Rahm Emmanual as his COS. It's been downhill around here ever since. I don't know WTF people expected. Whatever, the expectations were irrational and unreasonable.
