Yes.
Hell, half of these idiots think the Civil War is still winnable. Even after both Bushes were defeated, even after the weapons were not in Iraq, they kept going, because they have mastered the art of cognitive dissonance, or in other words, shutting off their brain.
We do need to celebrate, but we need to keep fighting. Even if the GOP imploded, some creeps, exploiting the worst of our national demons, would try and make a right wing (libertarians, I am looking at your Ayn Rand loving ass, and your buddies in "no labels."

We can celebrate while they sulk, but then we have to get right back to work, too.
We have to brand this reTHUG debacle into people's minds now so no one forgets, and rally the Dems to regain a secure majority in both chambers next year.
