8. Twist it all you want. Republicans are people further to the right.
   
This is the single dumbest idea ever. They voted for less change than they got, obviously.

Face it, the voters are farther to the right than we would like. It is an uphill battle. Stop trying to indulge in "it's easy if the Democrats we elect could just be 'tougher'" or whatever. Face reality. Liberals are not a majority and they don't work as hard as teabaggers and give up easily.
I never thought I'd see someone admit that on DU  Maybe it's a mole and they threw in the "teabagger" crap for cover.

Now if they could only make the next connection.  We're not a majority, because we're wrong and our policies don't help anyone.

Face reality. Liberals are not a majority and they don't work as hard as teabaggers and give up easily.

They have to stop and take a left hand cigarette break.

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

Somebody over on that thread said "They didn't vote R in protest because Obama wasn't liberal enough, face it."  

It was ignored, and was no more than a fart in a hurricane.
