1. Interesting....
It's an interesting and kind of clever point, but Democrats have controlled the White House for four years, and the Senate for six. It's easy for Republicans to say "We've only had the House, and have only been here a year and a half- all the while facing a President who obstructed the will of the people".

The real interesting quote is, "Nancy Pelosi, John Boehner, Mitch McConnell and Harry Reid have been the party leaders for the last three 'change' election. How can we get change with more of the same??". The environment is ripe for a third party run, a la Ross Perot. And it's easy to imagine a scenario where the tea party is unhappy with the primary results, runs its own candidate, and spoils the election for the Republicans :)
