If you have any Republican friends on Facebook, no doubt you've seen all the "We have to take our country back!" banners that Tea Party types like to post ad nauseam.

I saw one again the other day that read: "NOT a Democrat, NOT a Republican, Just an American that wants to take his country back!!" Being in a snarky mood, I posted: a response that simply said, "From Whom?" .. My comment was deleted within minutes..

The lack of a cohesive delegation has allowed attention-seeking lawmakers to act on their own.
