There's nothing quite like a slap across the face to get a man's undivided attention. Sometimes, one slap is not enough. The Tea Party seems ready with more slaps, if necessary.

Another great article by Wes.

We tried the slaps for the past few election cycles. Now it’s going to be some jabs and a few uppercuts. The gloves are off, hoss.

To me, “lead with the Right” comes to mind in the fisticuffs.....

..ain’t seen nuttin yet

Wes, my favorite Arkansan, still has it!!

Bear in mind that kicks to the groin have little effect on RINOs.

“Sean, I’m happy for Christine O’Donnell
and I’mma let you finish, but Mike Castle
had one of the best campaigns of all time!”

Maybe we should hide their tampons.

This is brilliant with such statements as: Why should he [Castle] have to abase himself to ask for a voter to cast a vote for him? Voters should have been honored to do that.

and

friends like Karl Rove just couldn't figure out who they were building the gallows for

Karl, the bell tolls for thee.

a few uppercuts

After a good roundhouse punch they are dazed and seeing stars. They don't know what hit them.

[AndyJackson]

Mike Castle had one of the best campaigns of all time!”

It's like war. In order to claim a good campaign you actually have to win.

[outofstyle]

I was neutral on Karl Rove until the other night. His comments on O'Donnell reveal him to be an "old boy" ass. Rove's diatribe was broadcast at O'Donnell's victory celebration. Following Christine's remarks a DE teaparty guy took the stage and related how Karl Rove came to town last year and tried to squelch O'Donnell's candidacy at the beginning by a condescending carrot & stick appeal to the various DE patriot groups. They respectfully told him to go to Hell.

Where does Karl Rove get off interfering like that? What standing does he have? And by the way, Christine O'Donnell can win in Delaware. It has just been revealed that her Dem opponent described himself as a "bearded Marxist" in a college paper. His record as a county "tax man" and his positions on the issues confirm that description.

Our anger could not be the result of a president perpetually on vacation or on the golf course or out campaigning and fund-raising or shooting hoops and looking cool while oil flowed into the gulf, the the economy tanked, an average of 500,000 people a week signed up for first-time unemployment benefits while Michelle is renting 60 rooms in Spain eating caviar and living the high live and the president is too busy to meet with his commander in Afghanistan - the war of his choosing, or meet with the governor of Arizona to come to an agreement on securing the border before suing her and her state.

Any member of Congress or the Senate voting for the following needs to go:

1) Stupid health care bill
2) Bailouts
3) Bogus stimulus packages
4) Expanding the limit on the national debt
5) Voting for ANY bill they have not first read
6) Cap and trade bill
7) Creation of additional federal departments and offices - we can't afford the ones we have ($1.47 trillion deficit this year)

Know thine enemy. Socialists will always want your stuff. Always. They are the enemies of America.

   Yikes

There's nothing quite like a slap across the face to get a man's undivided attention.

Or a right cross.

Still, so far as we know, she has never been arrested for trying to pick up a little action in an airport toilet, she has never been accused of dallying with an intern, she has never driven off into the ocean to leave a passenger to die a watery death in the back seat.

What is truly hilarious is the "dubious character" accusations. I don't know all that much about her, but I do know that no one is perfect. We all have skeletons in our closets. What I've seen, pales by comparison to these escapades.

Yes, he is my ALL TIME favorite. Although there are a couple out there who rank a teensy bit below him in getting a point across with dry humor.

"There's nothing like the prospect of a hanging, as Dr. Johnson famously reminded us, to focus a man's attention."

Indeed.

Do you think inside the beltway crowd will figure out they are out of lockstep with the public?

[gotribe]

No, and they are going to try some shenanigans, some crisis, and other manipulations to keep us in check this November.
