I don't even want to look at the news today.

I am burned out. I am tired of being a member of a party that is so totally fucking incompetent at standing up for itself. We pissed away the opportunity handed us in the 2008 election. We were unable or unwilling to make use of the mandate we had. We spent two years bending over backward trying not to offend anyone, knuckling under to the fake offense generated by the right-wing media, and utterly failing to make our case, in anything approaching a compelling way, to the American people.

I. Am. Tired.

And our internal defeatist element will argue that we didn't do an adequate job of pretending to be Republicans!

Yeah, that's what kills me. They won't think "maybe we shouldn't be so passive and submissive, maybe we shouldn't think that stealing a march on the Republicans means we should be sure to insult and dismiss some of our own voters *first* before the Republicans do.

No, they'll believe they should immediately do whatever the Republicans say.
