Rachel Maddow is kind of fed up with Democrats. Can't say I blame her.


Courtesy of Mediaite:  

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow has become increasingly frustrated with the way Democratic congressional candidates have run their campaigns ahead of the November midterm elections. When she appeared Thursday on Late Night with Seth Meyers, she admitted that liberals may “deserve” to lose the Senate, as most polling models are forecasting. 

“If your opponent loses the thing that they’ve been using as a crutch for six years and you just let them walk away from it like it never existed, maybe you don’t deserve to win,” Maddow told Seth Meyers. “They just don’t have the killer instinct it takes to make their opponents pay for a big mistake and I don’t understand why the Democrats are doing that.”

While I cannot bring myself to agree that Democrats deserve to lose in this 2014 election, I have to say that I am in almost total agreement with everything else that Rachel said here. 

And you all know I have been saying something similar to this for some time now.

Democrats have won this health care debate, and they absolutely do NOT know what to do with the victory.

If the Republicans had won a similar victory they would be rubbing it in our faces on a daily basis.

Democrats rescued the economy.
Democrats ended the war.
Democrats got rid of Don't Ask Don't tell in the military.
Democrats helped to dramatically increase the number of people covered by health care in this country.

So why are we not yelling all of this from the mountain tops?

Because if we don't do it now, the Republicans might actually take the Senate and spend the next two years attempting to undo all of the good that Democrats have accomplished.
