It's number 4.

The Dem rank-and-file does not suffer from that affliction.

I agree.

The 'purists' make us lose all the time.

It's either integrity or stupidity.......

---

I don't know that I agree fully with that. As someone smarter than me said, the Dims are very, very clear on what they want, while Republicans in general, don't know and/or aren't able to articulate what we stand for. There's a lot of reasons for that, but I think that's the bottom line. It's hard to sell a product you don't understand or support.

Dang it..you said it so much better than me...

To be fair, I think we could have gotten a better deal if the GOP controlled the Senate. Mind you I'm not excusing Boehner, but if we didn't have Angle, O'Donnell, Atkin and Murdock..We could have controlled the Senate.. It is hard to get a agenda through when the GOP controls one branch of Government.

I note you don't mention the laundry list of GOPe, Rove approved, RINO moderate candidates that lost their ass this election cycle...

Scott Brown
Pete Hoekstra
Linda Lingle
Linda McMahon
Kurt Bills
Joe Kryillios
Wendy Long
Tommy Thompson
Charles Summers

A couple of these toads that are of the worthless GOP RINO class you so approve of ran against Dem candidates that were in the middle of major scandals. Angus King in ME and Menendez in NJ and still they lost big. Now explain to me again how it was the Tea Parties fault that the GOP lost the Senate?

Articulate?

Like Teddy Kennedy's incessant brain addled babbling, or the moronic-to-outrageous things Biden says EVERY DAY, or when Jerry Brown's wife called his opponent a "whore" just days before the CA governor's election (which he won)?

---

You sorta missed my main points - you can't articulate what you don't understand or support.

Closed primaries. Contact your state legislature. Tell them you want closed primaries.

They'll kindly send you back a form letter telling you to kiss off.

Again if you read my 4 points in why we tend to lose you may see the reason. Out of all of the candidates that I mentioned Atkins was not a Tea Party candidate. It was a 3 way race and the rats crossed over and voted for him.

It's frustrating that the GOP party leaders are not astute in this regard. They keep right on doing the same things and expecting different results.
