A Battle is Not a War

Last night Obama's horrible healthcare reform bill passed.

Today we are wounded to the core. We are sore and weary. We are in tears over that which was lost. We are angry and frustrated.

Yes we lost a battle, a big battle. We had fought long and hard, but remember my friends; a battle is not a war.

George Washington lost battle after battle until he crossed the Potomac. Many times it seemed certain that the war for freedom would be lost. He didn't give up, even when his troops deserted and the Continental Congress failed to provide him with supplies. He stayed the course with grim determination. Against all odds, finally, he won our freedom.

We have accomplished much during this last year. We have broken the super majority in the Senate by electing Scott Brown. We caused the healthcare bill deadlines to be moved back again and again. We are a force to reckon with.

Now is the time to regroup, heal our wounds, and march again. There are more battles ahead. We may lose a few, but we will win some too. We, like Washington, will not give up. We will fight onward until we win the biggest prize.

We will win this war and take our country back.
