Yesterday's elections were just the first skirmish...

There is no time to let up. It's time to kick Republicans' asses somewhere up between their shoulder blades. They are up to no good. Not for the Democrats and not for the Republicans at large. It is time for the People, Democrats and Republicans, to take back their country from these mischievous butt wipes.

Don't let up. The fight is just beginning. They mean to do us wrong. They mean to do us harm. We have to fight back with everything we have. We have no choice.

2. I Couldn't Agree More!!

the tide turned on February 11, 2011, when Governor Walker made the first declaration of "war" and we started fighting back, in every state and on every front.

Let's keep it up! And congrats OHIO!!!

3. I agree with you in part on this, but only in part

I think you are exactly right that this was just the first skirmish, but I also think a natural let-up is right around the corner. Winter will slow down everything, the OWS will fade but not die and something else is going to rise up in the Spring. It will be much like OWS but more strident, more forceful. There will be confrontations all around the country and they will grow worse as the Conventions convene. I think the Republican Convention will have the tightest security and most police brutality of any in history but I expect bloodshed at (outside) the Democratic Convention. The confrontation between the ideological extremes will come next summer.

4. I hope you are wrong about the violence...

But I do expect the protests to grow much louder before the next elections. People are looking for action from our elected politicians. If they continue to dog it like they have for the last three years, it could get confrontational. Our political system will have failed us if that happens and will need major overhaul.

5. Agree 100% and the brutal stomping of the anti-union measure

in Ohio gives me some real hope. Kasich got his ass kicked so hard he will need to undo his tie to take a whiz.
