Well, it was just Michael

Well, it was just Michael Steele romantically reminiscing about fighting and nobly dying for principles. It is especially comical because he's a spectator about principles, having sold out to the GOP, been in the heart of that beast for two full years, tossed out on his ear from that inner sanctum of the corporate class, and there he is, on national TV, still dancing to their tune. He's the Alan Combs of the Right, thinking he somehow represents these people for which he has little more then a passing resemblance, rather then anything really in common.

But I agree, this is politics, hardcore politics, and the stakes are very high for the 90% [SWAG] of the people in this country who seek their wages from an organization not their own. I'm looking forward to the recalls.

Odd they expected a cavalry charge, isn't it? In the face of Tyranny of the Majority, the Wisconsin Democrats made a subtle retreat. Just think, if Napoleon had thought about the disadvantage of the terrain he held at Waterloo and decided to withdraw to an area where he had the advantage over Wellington, the outcome would have been different. The Wisconsin Democrats know full well they're out numbered and out gunned so it's to their advantage to retreat and find ground that's easier to defend and makes the opposition work harder. I believe the game is called politics.

Well, at least there is
