For sure it was a bit of punch to the stomach to have the WI-GOV race called so quickly. And some of you may be feeling a little despair. Perhaps wondering if any amount of effort or fight will make a difference. Your resolve weakening a bit.... I have to admit I was down and my fighting spirit felt not-quite-so-spirited.
Then I happen to read this from a site with a different bias (I won't link to it).
I would like to offer these words of comfort. When you progressive/liberal/Democratic activists look back on your quest to begin the Wisconsin recall movement, I want you to appreciate the amazing amount of work that you spent on it. You called. You networked. You wrote letters and blog posts. You contributed to opposition groups. You reached out, and found people just like you, and you banded together to fight. You marched, and you stormed the state capital, and you were arrested. And you kept going, and calling, and struggling, and you put your time, your money, and every atom of your being on the line. For some of you, this was your finest moment. You fought for this. You fought so hard for this.
Oddly enough, I didn’t do any of that, but I won anyway. That’s because you suck, and I don’t.
Well, I didn’t say that they were words of comfort for you.
Oh, yeah? Fuck you. You WILL lose in the long run. Because we aren't done fighting and you just don't truly care. It's fucking ON! Like Donkey Kong, motherfuckers.
