Yes, good article.

There were 3,050,161 fewer voters and still only about 50% of the voters turned out. We put too much emphasis on beating BO and not enough on the Senate races. We settled for what the Republicans gave us rather than demanding what we needed in a candidate. If we had paid attention to the senate races and taken back the senate, then BO’s support structure would have been gone if he were re-elected.

I like the idea of EVERYONE joining a party and getting involved. Either party would work as even the dem party would be changed.

A lot of us in the tea party movement said all along that the Senate was more important than POTUS and screamed as hard as we could about the R-primary and they way they rammed Romney down our throats. We did everything we could and got brushed aside by the GOP-e. They ignored us. They changed the rules during the convention to keep us locked out.

This IS a good article until it calls for ignoring all that and joining the GOP-e. They are in the process of becoming as much a part of the problem as the media is. We once trusted our media too, but no longer. The GOP can go pound sand down a hole. I'll be digging in on that hill, but the folks around me will either be third party or I'll just be doing my own thing.
