[...] relinquish our positions, and we must not be discouraged, for as has been so eloquently described here and elsewhere, this fight is not only ongoing, but it is just now beginning to get truly [...]

I see very little democratic about the Democrat Party and I would say its behavior this week puts it well beyond slurs. And "Rethuglican" has always been one of the least effective epithets the Left has in its quiver; you're more than welcome to look like an idiot in using it to your heart's content.

Nice slur towards the Democrats. It's Democratic, but reasoning with you is obviously not something that's going to yield productive results.

Would you appreciate it if I called the Republican Party the Rethuglicans?

We discuss Democrat polls on this site all the time; you're obviously new. There are no polls indicating a Democrat surge this fall; the opposite is clearly true. We're happy to table this discussion with you until November, but since you have chosen to hide behind a "Guest" ID in our comments it's a guess that you won't be back at that point.

So not a single person who writes for this blog is left-handed? Okay, fine. I'm not left-handed either.

Re: Can you read a poll? I suggest you take the time to read some polls, not just the ones put out by Fox News or right leaning websites or pollsters, sir. For if you take a look at polls across the spectrum, you'll notice that a majority of country supports nearly every single plank of this health care bill when told of it individually. That suggests that they like health care reform.

But you'll point to polls showing that the public doesn't like this health care bill. That, taken with the fact that a majority of the public likes most of the individual planks in the bill, suggests that a majority of the public doesn't like the process that led us to final passage.

So if that's all you've got … right-handers bemoaning the process, count me unimpressed.

We're not lefties here. Can you read a poll?

I look forward to hearing you folks moaning and groaning when it becomes clear that the country has left your ideology far, far, far behind come November.

A 100-seat loss is certainly possible. The Democrats lost 125 seats in the election of 1894.
