how the Right managed to take over the media etc. My point about the teaparty was that rather than become a third party, they stayed within the party and put money behind the kind of candidates they wanted. Of course they are going to fail having become so extreme that even Republicans are worried about them. I was not suggesting at all that the 'left' follow that example. Merely that they stay within the party rather than leaving it to the right-leaning Dems which would basically be handing everything over to the Republicans.

The left is not organized yet the way the Right was. So, I guess we need to start there. We have been reacting instead of leading and that is what needs to change.
