Did anyone hear what Karl Rove said right after the 2006 election about how the democrats didn’t win, that the republicans lost it? Did that come up on anyone else’s radar? Well, it did on mine. And while I was obviously insulted because I know how much hard work our party put into this election, I didn’t get too upset because it’s the least of what these guys have done and said about our party over the past decade. But when a smart, liberal friend of mine parroted the exact same thing to me a few days later, it really bothered me. Even after a big loss, the republicans are still getting America to sign off on their version of our story.
