Who was, against all odds and expectations, absolutely correct for once.

I hope this is real because i've seen this before where Democrats pretend to be putting up resistance just before coming back and saying "what could we do..it was the republicans fault" by allowing them to take 80-100% of what they wanted. That way they look like they were the victims and for the people when in fact they intentionally just gave in after the press showed they were starting to fight back. Recall the Health care talks, Medicare Part D, etc.

Voting majorities are the key to having progressives prevail. That gets back to the ground game. Obama organized an even better ground game than in 2008 to inform voters on the differences in the parties.

The media and those who believe the slanted anti-Democratic spin doctors who define them in a negative way, have little to do with goes on inside precincts, districts, cities and states. But that is where the power is. For D.C. to change, Americans must change the opinions of their neighbors and vote.

Cynicism and voter apathy favor the wealthy so much that they pay to promote it on the left, while getting their base out to vote. It's worked well and they aren't going to abandon it.

Seriously, if the GOP won't budge on taxing millionaires, fuck them! Take it over the Fiscal Cliff (Good Name for a Punk Band) and let the Bush era tax cut expire.

Let THEM be the ones to explain to the American public why they raised taxes on the Middle Class. It's very simple Mr. Boehner and Mr. McConnell:

NO to Medicare and Social Security cuts
YES to military cuts and tax hikes on people who make over $250.000 a year.

Go on; I DARE you to block this!

The water looks fine...
