At best, McConnell and Inhofe by their actions, may be just like the spoiled little brat “breaking in” a new baby sitter. He will push whatever envelope he can until he finds out where that envelope ends.
So are they just trying to find out just how serious the Tea Parties and the public in genereal comes down on this issue before making the kind of changes that come natural to everyday adults?
At their own peril, 9 Republican Senators are up for re-election in 12 and most of those on that list are RINO establishment types. They had better be well aware the list is active with an already announced Tea Party type primary challenger for Olympia Snowe and I beleive alerady another one I don’t recall at the moment.
Add to the mix that 22 Democrats are up as well, do they really want to deal with a Tea Party movement already in high gear coming in for a pit stop for new skins and a fresh load of fuel?
Being a member of the movement, its impact will be far more reaching than it was in 10 because unlike the stories questioning whether the movement will live on, we are seeing even more new folks calling and coming to see what it is all about. The agendas for the next cycle are already on the table ready for action list items once the holidays have passed and the pit stop is over.
I read this morning that Obama is now in favor of getting rid of earmarks. Makes me want to rethink my position on the issue...
