When Losers Win

Every time republicans lose an election the democrats run around like a bunch of Charlie Sheen imitators screaming "winners" to everyone who will listen and claiming republicans lost because they are "too republican." Despite the fact that most every election anymore, the latest presidential election no exception, is roughly a 50/50 split among the electorate with the nation almost equally divided between republicans and democrats the democrats seem oblivious to the fact that the republicans they are insulting for being too republican represent half the people in this country whose main complaint is that most republican politicians aren't republican enough. This is the worse possible attitude to have when one is a public servant charged with conducting the people's business. The idea that you deserve things to be 100% your way when only 50% agree is guaranteed trouble. There is no evidence that any thing is going to get any better with the Obama second term but plenty of reason to think things will only get much worse. cjpost
