Man, really? Everyone just giving up? It's a never-ending ball game, y'all. Win some, lose some.

[Skip Intro]

Tonight we took a hit. We've been here before. We've come back before. Giving up? Hit the showers and get over it. Get ready for the next match. Lay down and cry? No. Get up and fight!

[w8liftinglady]

1. Nah...this is how I got busy in 2004.

[Lifelong Protester]

2. I'm with you!

Even though in my home state of Wisconsin we took a BIG hit.

16. Probably the saddest results of the evening, so far

Sheesh, the crazies are truly taking over. Bachman hasn't scared anyone? How can that be. It's the caliber of people that are taking over that is so disturbing.

[young_at_heart]

30. It's "Idiocracy" in real life

Someone pointed this out on another thread.

[alcibiades_mystery]

3. For reals

[babylonsister]

4. Recommend-thanks. nt

[blue sky at night]

5. russ was outspent FOUR TO ONE.

beat that...ever!

[WilliamPitt]

6. I'm not giving up.

Hell with that.

[Pirate Smile]

7. I'm not giving up. Geez. We still hold the Presidency & Senate.

We fight on!

My god, think about when Republicans controlled the House, Senate AND the Presidency. THAT.SUCKED. This is just fine.

Perspective, people.

[Arkana]

8. Those assholes didn't give up when they lost all three in 2008

(the House, the Senate, and the Presidency). No, they got mad. They got organized.

Why can't we do that?

[AndyTiedye]

15. And They Got UNLIMITED, ANONYMOUS, CORPORATE AND FOREIGN CASH

from their good buddies on the US Supreme Court :grr:

[HuckleB]

9. It's not a game, and I'm not giving up.

[liberalmuse]

10. Fuck no. We lived through the Bush Years.

This is just a minor setback. We have an awesome man in the highest office in the land, and this man seems to revel in challenges. I look forward to seeing how he's going to deal with this shit. I'm going to deal just fine. No more whining for me. Good pep talk though, coach. Huah!

[Parker CA]

11. Damn straight!

[ramapo]

12. Yup

That's right

[PeaceNikki]

13. Losing Feingold will make me do just that.

Stop caring. My spirit is officially broken.

If he can lose to THAT FUCKING MORON...THAT goddamned idiot - I give up giving a shit.

[K8-EEE]

14. I agree!!! Plus we got some nice wins esp. here in CA!

FIGHT ON!

[Skip Intro]

22. Boxer and Brown are set to win, right?

[K8-EEE]

28. Yes!! Been called....I'm thrilled

to have Gov Moonbeam back, that was the first vote I cast at age 18!

[madrchsod]

17. yup it`s a never ending war.....

[sadbear]

18. It does appear that we only when republicans go FUBAR

Our side is only elected to clean up after them. I guess someone has to do it.

[Kaleva]

19. Rec'd. Not giving up.

[wisteria]

20. The Repubs are going to screw up and we will be back to straighten things out. n/t

[Dappleganger]

21. You bet!

I just need better meds to endure FL for awhile.

:eyes:

[GreenPartyVoter]

23. We've been down worse than this! **

[the redcoat]

24. The problem is

When you lose a game of baseball, the winners don't follow you home, kill your family, and burn your house down.

[Scurrilous]

25. Yep.

:thumbsup:

[cynatnite]

26. It's like getting knocked off a horse. Get right back on and fight like hell...

Win some and lose some. That's how it's played. It's a tough night, but tomorrow is a new day.

[Cognitive_Resonance]

27. Democrats can use this as a learning experience to come back stronger than ever. nt

[Johonny]

29. it's not so much giving up, as I think some aren't going to make it to the otherside

I get it that for a millionaire like Jon Stewart it's the end time. But for Americans that have been out of work for over a year... it is pretty much the end time. The people that have nothing but hatred for the out of work, poor, retired, sick and heck even the working middle class won today. A lot of people are looking at not just bad times, but perhaps the end of their life. For them there isn't a tomorrow.

[MadHound]

31. We've been losing for decades now,

The only question has been one of speed of that loss.

[Ramulux]

32. We just got fucked

Honestly I'm not in the mood for unwarranted optimism. Alan Grayson and Russ Feingold just lost, we just lost the best senator and congressman in all of congress. I dont have a fucking job and from the looks of it things aren't going to get any better in the next 2 years. This country is going to suffer so much in the next 2 years and I dont have the willpower to delude myself. We got fucked by retarded people and we are going to have to listen to the media tell us how amazing they are for a long time.

[Skip Intro]

33. Grayson's loss was way foreseeable. More upset about Feingold. I don't have a job either.

It's not delusion to understand that this night could have been much worse.

It's not delusion to know that we can either cry and lick our wounds or take a breath and come out fighting.

Yeah, the reality is there are a lot of dumb fucks in this nation. And there are a lot of lazy people who could have come out tonight but didn't. That is the reality.

But everything in politics is transient. This is a baseball game; this is a volleyball game. It will be for the foreseeable future. We're never gonna have a zero-loss season. And sometimes we're gonna lose the series. At this point, you have two options: walk away whimpering, or taking a breath with eyes on the next battle.

I'm not going to walk away whimpering.

[Upton]

34. Some folks need to toughen up..

losing the House but keeping the Senate is what was expected. Plus we have a Democratic president

Why all the sniveling?

[Skip Intro]

35. it's a big deal, but not that big of a deal...

the thing is, voters won't reject these kind of fools until they seem them actually creating policy, which really won't happen until they're fully in control, then remorse will set in, and the pendulum will swing back, but only temporarily...God, how we get anything done in this country is a fricking mystery to me...
