Jason Atkinson: The Real Issue Is My Party

It was like praying for a snow-day in the middle of summer.  Sure there was a cloud, but…..  I was surprised by a few states that were in play early on, but the Obama victory was systematic and executed without reaching for snow goggles.

The real issue is my party.  Romney insured four more years of tea party litmus testing from Congress down and according to the lessons of the 1970’s- Republicans don’t win.  (Buckley vs. Rockefeller, part two).

We need to be the party of solutions, lead in front of fear, stop scaring women and being perceived as against brown people.  Yes, history always gives favor to the incumbent, but my party never got beyond one issue:  vote for for me because.  A lot of votes were against Obama, but never “FOR” what a Republicans would do.  You can’t win in protest only.
