Remember when I said yesterday that Randi Rhodes has a right to her anger?
Today, in Madison, the GOP state senators just validated every last ounce of her fury.

Those who stayed home in November instead of voting for Democratic state senate candidates have nobody but themselves to blame for what just happened in the Capitol.

1. Can the rest of us blame them, too?
Because I really want to see someone suffer for this who actually deserves it.

3. On the contrary...
This is a perfect time for those who slacked off in November to start making up for it - by heading to Madison and standing with their union brothers and sisters.

And making a solemn pledge to vote in 2012 no matter what, even if they're in extremis.

4. Indeed but
now we are paying for their pride. I'm tired of all this "I'm no longer voting for the lesser of two evil" bullshit. No matter if you think that a democrat is to far right, is it not better to have someone who is slightly right, then someone who is falling off the right wing?

5. Yes. There is a difference between some one who pushes you to the edge of a cliff...
And someone who pushes you off...laughs while you're falling and p*sses on you when you're dying.

6. Not really...
.. because if we're heading over a cliff, I'd just as soon get it over with. And I'd also just as soon that the party actually responsible get the blame.

I won't vote for Obama again, even if he's running against the devil himself.
