You know who I'm talking about. DFH's, CT'ers, contrarions and all other liberals. No matter how disappointed we get with the Democrats on most occassions we all know they butter our bread better than the other team.
The reason I think we should be happy is that the Democrats unity and resolve during this fiasco has meant a tectonic shift in the overton window. When was the last time that the media didn't blame both sides? When was the last time the public didn't blame both sides based on media accounts?
That shift means we're moving leftward. Sure it was mainly a win for the party, nothing in the way of liberal policies, but that is a nice move in the right direction.
Pay no attention to the loudmouths in the fanclub yelling for you to eat crow. You had good reason to be circumspect and they would have been claiming victory even if the Dems had given up the moon to get this deal.
ps. For you folks that dread going through this again next year because we only got a short term extension, I for one hope that we do. It will insure a Democratic House.
