That is true. But that is due to the lies, the misrepresentations, and the shameless scare tactics used by the republicans.
Truth be told, the demies did a horseshit job of counteracting the blatant, unrelenting lie machine of the right. I guess they were trying to play "nice". They did everything they could to bring the other side into the debate.
BUT!. . . The repukes would have NOTHING to do with compromise! They were complete dicks! Plain and simple. I am delighted that they got fucked in the end. They got precisely what they deserved.
The first order of business for the demmies should be to try to undo the lie machine of the right. If they are successful here (and I have my doubts) then the uneducated, ignorant, hillbilly teabaggers will be sent packing come this fall.
The repukes do it time and again. First the religeous right held the party hostage.
Now it is the dangerous, para-military, racist, sexist, homophopic teabaggers that are holding the repukes hostage. The majority of Americans do not want to be associated with this.
Demmies. . . You need to keep up the fight so more common Americans will understand how dangerous the teabaggers really are! They are dangerous to our way of life, and they are extremely dangerous to freedom.
