Comments: The current Democratic party needs four more years of power the way an addict needs a fix.

We can figure it out; we know what the Lefties are doing and what they are gonna do. Knowing that, we could stop them more effectively.
Except there ain't no "we". There is no collective opposition to the Left Wing/Socialist movement.
Sure, there are a lot of folks upset, disappointed, indignant, outraged even, not at all pleased with the path our government is on - but no organized opposition.
Don't mention the Tea Party. What started out as a force, an entity, has come unraveled.
The people are OK but the concept has become a joke. Standup comedians with "you know you're a Tea Party member if ..."

Where are the leaders? The ones that talk sense and are willing to stand up, take the hits if necessary?
No focus, no next step, no marching orders, no "to arms, to arms". Nothing.
The heroes of the Revolution, they finally committed; they took a stand and turned talk into action.
You won't effect political change on the magnitude that is needed by standing around bitching and tweeting and blogging and showing each other how clever you are.
"Oh we will do it at the polls" sounds like nothing but hot air.

The TEA Party was hijacked by the religious right and gun lobby. It started out as essentially a one issue organization. Namely fiscal conservatism. The TEA Party arose in opposition to the Porkulus and Obamacare - both fiscal nightmares that are continuing to plague the nation. When TEA Party candidates took up social issues that belong on the state level, they lost their focus and became fodder for late night comedians. The TEA Party could regain its relevance if it went back to its roots. Fiscal sanity is still needed, if the country is to ever regain it position as nation of opportunity.
