Midknight Review -- new and revised: Democrats are getting a lesson in playing hardball and listen to them whine and cry and act like 6th graders at a "no you can't" convention.

Sen. Corker Threatens Reid: If You Bring DADT Repeal For A Vote, We'll Walk Away From START — This afternoon, as momentum began to build for repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell, Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) threatened that if Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) brings up a vote to repeal the ban . . . .

Editor's notes: now it is our turn to play politics, and what is being reported above, is just that, politics. They call it "hardball."

People forget that the GOP has been nursing an anger for two years. While will not be about "getting even," the Dems are about to see the GOP play hardball like never before. It started a couple of weeks ago when the soft spoken Mitch McConnell read an open letter to Obama and the world. In short, it said, "You have governed without priorities and now, we, the GOP, have enough muscle to force you all to get a budget resolution and pass the Bush tax cuts or we will do nothing else. . . . . oh, and we will help write your 2011 budget. You should have done months ago. Now your budget becomes ours. "

So, the Dems yelled and screamed, used the "F" bomb to describe the love they felt for the Novice Pretender, and lost in the battle to pass their own budget (1.1 trillion dollars), lost in the battle to punish the rich with an added tax, and lost in the battle to allow GITMO prisoners to come to the mainland. That cannot happen as of yesterday. Big deal for national security.

Point of this post: you snooze, you lose.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
