But look at all the venom now that we're reaping the results of our big loss last fall. Everyone wants to focus on the President, but what did we do last year? Take out two sitting Democratic Senators? Yup. Leader gets kicked off his TV platform for some childishness? Yup. How about 2009, the year the PCCC raised over a million dollars and spent none of it on candidates. While the Koch brothers and Chamber were organizing and supporting their people, we were spending money to pressure our own for a bill that was clearly never going to pass. The public option was always a No for Bayh, Begich, Nelson, Nelson, Lincoln, Landrieu, Tester, Webb, Dorgan, Baucus, Carper, Conrad, Pryor or Warner. Rahm Emanuel had an offensive term for our actions, except for the terminology he was spot on.
Now the master strategists around here; who have told us that Obama failed to twist arms and fight for the public option, now tell us that he shouldn't have taken singlepayer off the table. Oh my!
