Our leader have lost touch, surely this is true.  I do not advocate for a revolution though, there simply must be a way to reform our government incrementally, though voting with our minds and wallets.   

And yes, it does seem that the the right is fragmented.  However this does not mean individual senate races can't be won. The fact is, the left is vulnerable in enough races that the tide **could** be turned in, as soon as 2014. this ACA debacle may be a strong enough issue to garner more than a few upsets. If the right **could** control the house and senate (admittedly a big 'if') Obama would be a lame duck and things like amnesty for illegals may be held off. If the right could control the house and the senate, then congress would indeed hold the power of the purse.

2016 is, to your point, another matter. Nationally, it's tough to compete with the 'vote for us for free stuff' narritive coming from the left -it just sounds so damn appealing to those unfamiliar to the very concept of differed gratification.  Sadly this represents more than 50% of us.   There may be a unifying figure that comes up to consolidate the party -maybe... and Hillary is polarizing enough and one can always hope for enough apathy on the left to  make for a fun-to-watch race, at least.  We'll see.


Live hardy, or go home.
