Don't like what is happening from the 2010 Teabag wave? [View all]

I will just say...one more time...that "elections have consequences". Maybe we shouldn't have sat on our asses and handed the keys to MI, WI, IN, OH and other state Legislatures to the Rush Limbaugh crowd.

Not to mention that 2010 was also a census and redistricting year.

We're going to be paying for the complacency of 2010 for a fucking generation. We better not forget that when 2014 rolls around.
