Well, you've got the repeated part of the error right, but this is the first time I've been corrected for which thanks. (parenthetically, it does not raise Prez in my opinion to learn that this primary challenge (which I think odious for its target) came from an already serving party functionary as opposed to the rank outsider I had taken him to be (as evidenced by my emphasis upon his "first" electoral foray which occasioned your perhaps excessively vehement correction...) Since I seem to have made up that part, I will plead an attempt to give him the benefit of the doubt.

The left wasn't the only group, disillusioned by the Democratic leadership in DC.

In Feingold’s Loss, Independents Turn on One of Their Own

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/05/us/politics/05feingold.html

the loss came, in part, because independents flocked to his opponent,

“Independents deserted Democrats, period,” said Ken Goldstein, a political scientist ……. “This was not about Feingold’s record or the money or the advertising. It was about the anger of independents at the status quo.”

Still, others saw the flow of unregulated money as an added dimension to the narrative, in which Mr. Feingold was “hoist on his own petard,”

One poll found that Mr. Obama’s approval rating here had declined at a faster rate than in any other state.

Despite his independence, Mr. Feingold allied himself strongly with certain Obama policies, including the health care bill, for which Mr. Johnson repeatedly bashed him.

“This is the kind of climate where you would vote your mother out of office,” he said. “If you had a ‘D’ after your name, it was a liability.”

Democrats are not the only group that was disillusioned with Obama

Also this continuous BS about the Democrat is not as bad.

That’s the lefts perception; quit shoving that point DOWN to others, who’ll make up their own minds.

You can’t continue to try and sell something the people don’t want or believe. The arrogance

Perform and take the maximum advantage when your in power; or else the fickle electorate WILL REPLACE YOU.

No amount of moaning about stupid people, voting for Republicans will change that fact.

It is insanity to keep thinking that message works. It only works to keep the democrats in the pen. "You better stay in the pen; those big bad wolves will get you" as the shearer says “bring me another one”

Moral: When the democrats do get into power, they better perform or else, no republican - lites allowed. The left may be infatuated with the democrats, the independents not so much.

The independents kicked the democrats out, Feinstein was a victim.

..............It has been to their (the GOP's) advantage the Democrats took over as the shit hit the fan so they're the ones that are being blamed.

Why in the world should the Republicans come to power again? The GOP led Presidency, Senate and House ran up the deficit after Clinton left a surplus. Heck Ronald Reagan left a deficit. Barry Goldwater believed in old boy style State's Rights. GOP Governors behave like dictators. Why would the public go back to the GOP?

Obama saved the US auto industry and prevented a full blown depression. He also got the first steps in changing health care in the US. If you recall, the first version of Social Security was not perfect.

The tea-baggers was a surprise to everyone ... including Feingold. Greyson was aware the district he represented was a swamp so he knew in advance he was on shaky ground regardless.

However, the gains tea-baggers made are in those low populated states that don't have much going for them at the moment ... Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and so forth ... they passed their prime and are close to becoming retirement communities. So that made them ripe for picking by the tea-baggers because everyone else thought the pickings there were too slim. Other states like Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas are on the knife's edge ... just a little push one way is all it will take.

The GOPer's have purposefully set things up to make the government stop working during the Bu$h years. It has been to their advantage the Democrats took over as the shit hit the fan so they're the ones that are being blamed. As soon as the GOPer's regain control over the government and have no further need for tea-baggers, they'll be nothing more than a footnote in the history books.

This is wrong. Obama was already an Ilinois state Senator when he ran against Bobby Rush. You seem very invested in this claim, since you keep making it despite being corrected many, many times.

Does the truth even matter to you, or is the "truthiness" of you claim more important to you?

In reply to So the rational reaction was

Feingold and Greyson were both victims of the tea-bagger express rolling them over. Obama, on the other hand, used the gift of gab and guile to make people believe in an idea. Unfortunately, ideas have about as much substance as a balloon ... a lot of hot air. And that what we all got ... a balloon. The idea was nothing more than the logo on the balloon we all bought into.

Instead of buyer's remorse, I'd say it's sticker shock after the purchase when you realize the cost of maintenance is far greater than what you can afford.

PART TIME LOVERS

Some folks are feeling buyers remorse after voting

That's why the democrats lost the mid term election and if Obama had been on the ballot, he would have lost too.

Buyers remorse: We democrats didn't put all of our sweat and tears in getting Obama through the primary process, only to find out too late, we were snookered into voting for republican lite.

The OWS would not have been necessary in 2011, we thought that battle of ideas was the basis for Obamas election win, in the first place.

Give him a second term to do what? More damage?

Obamas so much better than republicans, because at least he gives us a big kiss?

When the mistress kicks out the philanderer, the part time lover comes back to the ones that brought him to the dance. "Give me another chance baby?, "I promise, you'll like what you see the second time around; theres no need to look at another suitor"

We knew what was at stake then, evidently the man we thought was the standard bearer, turned out to be a sympathizer, a lover of the opposition. A part time lover

We weren't looking for a broker of peace, we were looking for an aggressive general to remove the yoke of Reaganomics, trickle down theories. To repair the damage.

I don't know about you, but I have buyers remorse. I have a lemon and theres no others to choose from. I am forced to continue with the lemon.
