Instead of getting our knickers in a twist and voting out folks who just got elected the last time, because of one or two votes you don't like, give them a chance to get some legislation that THEY helped craft, so they CAN vote for something that will be useful. Work hard to get them re-elected, and bring another couple of Tea Party folks along in other districts. We need larger numbers in BOTH houses, but especially in the Senate. The Tea Party candidates need to be of good quality, as well, so they won't spend all their time talking about pecadilloes or stupid decisions in their pasts, and not be able to get out their messages of smaller government and economic growth.
We really need to start thinking strategically, long-term, and plan to do things incrementally. That's how the libs got THEIR programs in place. They didn't try to do it all at once; they couldn't have gotten them approved, had they done that. They had patience, and they stuck together. They didn't scream and yell about ideological purity, and fight publicly against their own. That's not to say that we shouldn't go up against the GOP Establishment, but we don't need to feed the MSM's delight in their attempts to split Republicans so that even the Independents won't consider voting for the Repub. candidate in 2012. Don't play into their hands!
Wow! I wish I could be so mind numbingly optimistic and ignorant of history.
