1. Define "We"...

[xchrom]

2. they did well in states races -- gerrymandering, etc.

but yes -- they aggressively move their agendas forward.

they unapologetically act like 'winners'.

not unappealing to their base.

5. They lost several state seats in Michigan

You would never believe the shellacking they just received

[xchrom]

6. yeah - i was aware of that in michigan.

it's part of the reason they moved forward with this right now.

3. That's how the game is played, apparently

[MannyGoldstein]

4. But there will be tiny tax increases for the top 2%

And Big Austerity for the rest of us.

7. Cause They Can And Will...

While we won a national election, Democrats still are behind the 8-ball legislatively in a bunch of states. Rushpublicans won majorities that they've held onto and are doing what they feel they were elected to do. Yes...that includes union busting, cutting entitlements and ALEC-oriented agendas. The only way it will end is when the people in those states have had enough and vote these shitstains from office. It's a painful lesson on how elections have consequences...and one to Democrats to not fall asleep during the mid terms...

8. As Tip O'Neil once said "All Politics is Local"

It is very important that you vote for school board members, mayors and especially Governors and Legislators.. That is where it really matters..

9. They have a crazy sense of entitlement

and do not feel they should be bound by the democratic process.
