Why is ANYBODY arguing for "more of the same" after last night?

[Ken Burch]

Why does ANYONE here think that what happened in Mass was no big deal?

[rudy23]

1. They already wanted more of the same, and will use any news to justify it.

Up is down, down is up. Whatever it takes to get people to think in a way that's beneficial to corporate America.

2. That was my thought nt

3. The first stage of grieving is Denial n/t

[FreakinDJ]

7. So True - However I'm already at the ANGER Stage

[gateley]

4. Ask Obama -- today he said:

it's time to come together around a bill that can draw Republican support, too.

Talk about more of the same! :eyes:

[SammyWinstonJack]

20. Still stuck in that bi-partisanshit mode, is he? The definition of insanity.

:crazy:

[BlueIdaho]

23. Pathological People Pleaser.

[Ken Burch]

25. And he doesn's even have Clinton's excuse of being the stepson of an abusive drunk

n/t.

[Edweird]

5. Selfishness? Terminal stupidity? Ate lead paint as a child? Paid to? Too many hits to the head?

:shrug:

[Ken Burch]

6. Didn't get a cute little puppy to barbecue?

who knows?

[StarfarerBill]

8. Masochists tend to like more of the same...

[Winterblues]

9. Seems to me people are still arguing for Change and NOT more of the same..

Democrats have decided Change is not to be had so they must expect Change to happen to them and not by them..

[jpak]

10. What? More of the same low-information Dem/Obama bashing that gets teabaggers elected?

no - i am not 4 that

[Ken Burch]

11. You're still fighting for bland, timid centrism even though last night proved

that bland timid centrism will be unpopular forever.

(And you KNOW we aren't "Bashing Democrats or Obama". We're defending the Democratic party from the forces of failure.

[jpak]

12. Yes - Liberal Mass. voters elected teabagger to protest "bland centrism"

what a bunch of crap

[Ken Burch]

16. You know a MORE conservative Dem would've done even worse

More flag pins and more hawkishness would've meant even MORE lost votes. Bill Clinton would've lost this race worse than anyone.

Why are you defending a failed politics?

[jpak]

18. Are you defending rediculous nonsense? Yup

If Mass. voters were sending a message about "centrist" policies they would NOT have voted for fucking teabagger.

That is just plain stupid

[frylock]

19. tell you what sport..

let the dems continue tacking to the right and lets see how many people vote for them.

[bobbolink]

13. It can only be ascribed to insanity.

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results."

[timeforpeace]

14. Probably because there IS no Plan B.

[Spheric]

15. They are having a hangover ...

from their corporate party, and I can't think of anything worse than waking up next to someone after a night of partying and not remembering their name, how you met them, or why they are dead.

[KonaKane]

17. Ponderous. Absolutely ponderous.

As I posted in another thread, we appear to be coming out of this bushwhacking with an invigorated, angry resolve....only to have our leader offer a more submissive health care reform than ever.

I am in a very ugly mix of bewliderment and disgust right now.

[drm604]

21. Who here is arguing for more of the same?

Who here thinks that what happened is no big deal?

There may be a few like that on here, but I haven't seen them.

[last1standing]

22. Now you have.

You didn't even have to go very far to find it. :)

[drm604]

24. As I said, there may be a few.

I don't see that post as even a particularly good example. He's arguing against doing things that get tea-baggers elected. I'm also against getting tea-baggers elected. Who here isn't? Unless you're saying that any change, even rightward change, is better than "more of the same".

That's certainly what the right-wing noise machine wants us to think, and they're working hard at it, and sadly, they seem to be having some success.

Change simply for the sake of change is not an appropriate goal. We need change, we need big change, but it needs to be the right change.
