We need a seasoned army to fight them.

Fight what and whom. The tables have been turned and the Repubs hold near-same number of seats that the Democrats did. With such numbers, they cannot fight. Pelosi's would be a bark in the wilderness. She has been outgunned and outnumbered.

The House Democrats can only hope to come back not by fighting but only if the Repubs goof, which they will. Boehner and Co. have already embarked on the journey to failure by singing the chorus of repealing Obamacare and dancing to the tune of their donors such as the insurance industry. Didn't they get it that the American people are more interested in jobs and not healthcare? And then we have the Transportation Committee Chair-elect promising to take away funds for the construction of high speed rail. If they do so they would be sending home a significant number of workers on these projects home. See unemployment go up then.

As I said, anger is not an argument. The Tea Party folks, Blue Dogs (opportunists) and the "professional left" got a taste of defeat in the recently concluded elections. And it is about time folks quit their anger, name calling, cross accusations and come together to promote conditions that create jobs.
