It is the second Saturday after the country voted for baby Jesus, and lower taxes and so Republicans are already planning to flex their mandate and shut down the government. They say the shut down will be over the President's claim that he is going to stop deporting so many browns. That's the plan. If the President trips them up by continuing to deport browns at the current rate, they'll figure something out. Of course shutting down the government isn't the first choice for the few remaining Republicans who still have a loose grip on reality. They'd prefer a lawsuit because threatening a lawsuit is pretty manly business that always gets results. Tom Carper said that he'd vote with those same Republicans to overturn a Presidential veto because overriding a Presidential veto will usher in a golden age of peace and prosperity. It will also show the GOP once and for all that when Tom Carper says bipartisanship - BY GOD he means BIPARTI-FUCKING-SHIP.

Poor Chris Flood trying to make sense out of Schwartzkopf post election analysis.

"He said because of the race for county sheriff, the turnout in Sussex County was somewhat different than in Kent and New Castle counties. Republicans pushed hard to get out the vote because they didn't want to see Jeff Christopher re-elected, said Schwartzkopf, and as a result some people who wouldn't have voted otherwise ended up voting straight down party lines. Schwartzkopf said he doesn't necessarily think the outcome of the races would have been any different, but the percentages would have been closer. Republicans had a good day, he said. It's like a sports competition, he added, and the GOP had a better outcome."

Yep. Just like a sports competition. The kind of competitions where one team has motivated players, strategies, coaching and leadership and the other doesn't. It was just like that.

Kansas, You need to just keep cutting services and lowering taxes for your wealthiest corporations and job creators. Things will get better. And if they don't it only means that you haven't waited long enough or prayed to Supply-Side Jesus hard enough.

I just can't get over this statement by Tom Caper's spokeswoman. Why is it tormenting me? Perhaps because every bit of it is a cynical lie.

This is just the stupidest thing ever, and it is a great example of two things: 1) The Democrat Party is just horrible and 2) Tom Carper is absolutely an out and out fucker. Seriously, wait to you read his statement. It is a goddam doozy.

Jason330, We screwed up. But here is the good news – starting today we aren’t taking any money from banks or finical services industries. None. Nothing. We now realize that working to protect the profits of banks doesn’t serve the interest of the working class Americans who have always been the backbone of the party. So from now on, the DNC will turn away all money from banks so that we can get back to being the party that looks out for the little guy. That will put us in a fundraising bind, so we will need to depend on people like you to help get the message out. You are the Democratic Party’s biggest asset. Thanks for considering a donation to help return the Democratic Party to its core values. Sincerely, Joe Biden

More under the fold.

This is depressing:

Jason330, I've been through a lot of elections, Jason330, and it's a simple fact that you're not going to win them all. No matter how hard you work, sometimes things don't turn out the way you want them to. But I hope you won't listen to any of the people who are saying that what happened on one Tuesday night in November changed everything -- because they are wrong. Nothing changed the fact that there are millions of Americans counting on us to create good middle-class jobs, and build better schools for our children. It didn't change that we still have a lot of work to do together, and two full years to do it. So I want you to stay committed, keep your head up, and invest in the future of our party. If you've saved your payment information, your donation will go through immediately. Thank you, Jason330 -- I mean it. Folks like you have always been the Democratic Party's biggest asset, and there's nothing that's going to change that either. Joe
