This is the direct result of all the people who said, "I can't vote for a Democrat because they're not being progressive enough." Well, the Teahadist base bloody well did come out and vote, and now we're all reaping the consequences.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: there may or may not be someone I want to vote FOR, but there's damn well always someone I want to vote AGAINST.
Unfortunately, the flip side of this is that the Democrats will continue to become more and more conservative. Look at our president, who has actually now gone beyond Dubya in engaging America in yet another war without any Congressional action whatever...
