Ah hell! I'm pissed! You know why I'm pissed? Because we had no organized effort to fight for this amendment! Just a couple of thread with only a handful of posts! When I saw this yesterday I didn't get a chance to do anything because I was tied up all day and figured I'd missed the boat. At least I made sure to donate to the campaign. Then I saw this today, saw I had one more chance and made the call. But I realize it's now too little two late. We had a freaking week of endless threads over Rand's "gayer" remark followed by another week of people parsing, crying and moaning over ever stinking email that came out of the campaign. "Did Paul really write this?" Of course he did! "Did the CIA get to Paul"? Of course they did NOT! And if they did it wouldn't have made a damn bit of difference! The campaign just told us what we already knew. Actually capturing the nomination is beyond a long shot. Throwing good money after bad in statewide TV ads in remaining primaries is a dumb idea. It's best to keep trying to get as many delegates as possible and see what we can do with that. That should have been the end of it. But nooooooo. We've got folks running around wanting "refunds" and crap. And while all the bellyaching and naval-gazing and hating gays and hating people who hate gays and hating people who could care less about gays but don't want the federal government telling states what kind of marriage licenses to write was going on We let an opportunity to repeal one of the worst assaults on the bill of rights in our generation slip through our fingers!
You know, when Wikipedia didn't want SOPA to pass they made it so that you couldn't even sign onto their sight. Wikipedia was "blacked out" except for the "Please call congress" page. Google and Facebook took less drastic, but similar moves. If we are going to win this fight we've got to get serious! We have to focus on what's important. We have to find the fights we can possible win and fight them! Come on people! Think!
