Snappers v Democrats.
Fuck you. You won't fight for you, why should I root for you?
The White House seems to have its approach figured out: "President Barack Obama plans a combative response" in that case, Politico's Mike Allen reports. He quotes an unnamed presidential advisor as saying, "The response will not be to do incremental things and try to salvage a few seats in the fall. The best political route also happens to be the boldest rhetorical route, which is to go out and fight and let the chips fall where they may. We can say, ‘At least we fought for these things, and the Republicans said no.’"Dumb motherfuckers, this is Crackerstan: the time to run up the score is before you've lost your big lead.
Fight first or fuck off. I'm not talking about progress, I'm talking about winning a fucking football game, Norv.
UPDATE! I'm sure this has been said elsewhere and is an obvious point, but some elected Democrats have to be giddy Brown happened: now Democrats can blame Republicans for Democrats not doing what they profess to want to do but have no interest in doing.
