We have won a battle and not realized it.  If everyone will recall, the first two years of the movement,  the establishment kept talking about being the "loyal opposition",  and meaning that it was part of the DC game to disagree, rant and rave against the other party, and then kiss and make up,  just to do it again.  The problem was,  It was the Republicans/conservatives doing all the giving.

Now , due largely to the sweeping victories in the mid term elections of primarily Tea Party members,  we now have PRINCIPLED OPPOSITION-  as in we believe in basic fundamental principles different than the Obama led Democrat party.

We now have people in DC that are fully aware that this is not a game, and our very survival as a nation depends on resiting the principles of progressiveness,  and are having the spine to stand up and fight back.

And we are seeing the results of this victory daily in the current Republican presidential primary-  The narrative has changed in many ways-despite the narrative of the MSM in which must still be relied on to get the message out to many people.  so far, every candidate has called out moderators at least once- and most more-  to focus on topics of importance,  and steer away from sleaze (granted, it ends back up there,  but the point is, all 4 realize that is not what people want, and last cycle they did not care)

We should celebrate- for 30 seconds- this overlooked, but important victory,  and get back into the fray.  We still have the RNC and the establishment to deal with,  but we have them on the defense-  they are more scared of us than Obama
