Denial's Not a Pretty Thing

Poor moonbats. They lost, and lost big, on Alito. So what has their reaction been to the failed attempt at blocking this "radical right-wing reactionary?" Just a quick glance at Dumbocratic Underground reveals the turmoil the liberals are suffering. First, there is of course the required "Kerry and Kennedy are patriots" line. Right, because they attempted to disrupt the Constitutional process, they're patriots. Sure.

Next comes the battle cry. Consider this:

The Senate Democrats know where there base is. There's no way they could not know. If they did not get a hundred thousand calls each about this it's only because they didn't have enough staffers, voicemail space, and fax paper to record them all. I think it is fair to say that as regards contacting the Senate Democrats to make ourselves heard, we did all that could be done.

So...Assuming that there were that many calls and letters put in, that means that a hundred thousand people in each state make up the base of the Democratic party. No wonder they can't win elections.

Then comes the really ugly stuff. This poor guy says he needs a beer:

Sucks to be us right now. It's true, the vote didn't go the way we wanted it to. But I think we have a lot to be proud of. I think it is fair to say that without the liberal blogosphere, there wouldn't have even been a fight. So that's something that you all did. You should be proud. At least now they know that we aren't going to sit back and do nothing while our country goes down the toilet.

A fight? I must have missed something. A few of the most liberal Democrats fail to garner even minimal support from their own side and it rates as a fight? Well, the next poster elaborates with the battle cry "We won today."

Eight days ago, there was no opposition to Alito whatsoever. No filibuster was planned, and even had one been started, there was not a chance in hell that anybody but the one Senator to propose it would vote against cloture. The Far Right had just had "Justice Sunday" an illegal use of the pulpit to promote a political agenda which they spent millions of dollars on in order to motivate their zombie-like zealots, and it looked like no opposition was even possible.

In that eight days, we worked a miracle; We got the man who was elected President in the last stolen election to declare that he was going to filibuster, and we got MANY (I don't have the final count) Democratic Senators to vote NAY on cloture. We organized a campaign entirely through our resources here on the Internet, and swamped every fax machine and phone line in Washington DC and elsewhere with our message to vote against Alito and against cloture. We have proven that we can motivate and act with little money and few resources a campaign that nearly set the massively funded GOP Fascist Juggernaut on its ear.

Ah...Life among the "reality based community." Only in desperation could someone actually see this as any victory at all. Where to even start? The fact that he's still moaning about the last election, which was a clear win for Bush, ought to disqualify this clown from being read in the first place. But DU is hardly known for its standards. I have NO IDEA what he's talking about with the illegal talk. I'll just chalk that up to tinfoil poisoning. Ok, they worked a "miracle." Wow, that's all it takes to make a miracle in the eyes of the moonbats? You'd think more of them would be able to understand belief in God then. He's a lot easier to believe in than the long shot that the filibuster was going anywhere. Finally, this campaign supposedly almost turned the "GOP Fascist Juggernaut (note the caps to make it seem more formal and ominous) on its ear." How did it do that, exactly? Barely half of the elected Democrats even joined in with the filibuster effort. This wasn't even a roadbump in the process, let alone a major obstacle.

You need to look no further than the left's own bastions of thought (whatever might pass as thought in liberal circles these days) to see how much of a disaster this confirmation process has been to the liberals. They have been unable to act at each step, becoming increasingly shrill and absurd in their rhetoric. And now their last effort has crashed and burned a terrible death. And all this under a President that they continue to argue is so unpopular. What must that say about the Democrats?
