The Party of STILL Not Getting It

Following on the heels of this instructive post, we bring you another installment of...
Check out this e-mail, sent out just this morning by Mitch Stewart of Organizing for America, the DNC's grass-roots astroturf fundraising campaign:
Dear MaryHunter:
Yesterday's disappointing election results show deep discontent with the pace of change. I know the OFA community and the President share that frustration.
We also saw what we knew to be true all along: Any change worth making is hard and will be fought at every turn. While it doesn't take away the sting of this loss, there is no road to real change without setbacks along the way.
We could have simply sought to do things that were easy, that wouldn't stir up controversy. But changes that aren't controversial rarely solve the problem.
Our country continues to face the same fundamental challenges it faced yesterday. Our health care system still needs reform. Wall Street still needs to be held accountable. We still need to create good jobs. And we still need to continue building a clean energy economy.
The President isn't walking away from these challenges. In fact, his determination and resolve are only stronger. We must match that commitment with our own.
But it won't be easy. Real change never is. For that reason, I am grateful you're part of this fight with us.
Thank you,
Mitch

Many pundits have argued that liberal Democrat and RINO senators and congressfolk across the nation are petrified over last Tuesday and will put the breaks on the Hopeychange agenda, realizing that the Massachusetts Miracle could happen again in any state, in any district. That's a fair assumption, at least for those who are vulnerable come November.
Some people even think that the Scott Brown victory will be a wake-up call to Dear Leader, that he might actually move to the center, from where he led many independents to believe he would govern if elected. But it is also entirely likely that monkeys will fly out of Michelle's butt before that happens.
