We’re here, we’re Tea Party, get used to it!
Legal Insurrection ^ | 10/9/13 | William Jacobson

The demise of the Tea Party movement has been predicted since its inception in early 2009. There has been a non-stop demonization of the movement led by Democrats and the media, but frequently joined by party Republicans.

Here’s another headline, based on the data in the AP-GfK poll, you probably will not see:

Most Americans agree with Tea Party on debt ceiling increase

You read that right. 41% of those surveyed said the debt ceiling should be raised only if conditioned on significant budget cuts plus another 10% who said it should not be raised for any reason.

I’m not buying the argument that Republicans are committing suicide, even when the argument is made by Republicans.

Stop with the taunts, the threats, and the name-calling.

You have shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive, toward the Tea Party movement.

We’re here. Get used to it.

The TEA party, far from dead, without the MSM's deliberate distortions, we would have already won. That we are finally turning the tide is encouraging. Let's not stop......

In my humble opinion (yes, I wrote it out) there are tons of Tea Party types out there laying in the weeds waiting to strike like a cobra. It’ll happen.

Try as they might the media, the left, and cowardly RINOS have only added to and strengthened the Tea Party ranks.

Does the refusal of Commander in Chief Obama to pay for the Funeral expenses of HIS four dead Warriors rise to the level of an Impeachable Offense?

“Generally, dereliction of duty refers to failure through negligence or obstinacy to perform one’s legal or moral duty to a reasonable expectation. In other words, it means willful or negligent failure to perform assigned duties or performing them in a culpably inefficient manner. Dereliction of duty is a specific offense in military law. “ (Quote from USLegal.com).

Dereliction of duty is an Impeachable Offense, as stipulated in the US Constitution. Dereliction of duty is also a US Military offense subject to a US Military Courts Martial.

Will our sorry Congressional RINOs do their usual kid gloves, “boys will be boys” approach to Obama’s numerous violations of the US Constitution, or will they FINALLY draw up The Articles of Impeachment for B. Hussein Obama?

The media is the point of instigation for all this demise, and they are on the map.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Some crowd chants rhyme
But this one isn’t going to.

Obamao must have read your material. Just in time he reverses his arbitrary selection of destinations where he will inflict the most pain and backs off defunding the military death benefit.

If he’s willing to ignore pleas for help and leave living, breathing Americans to die at the hands of his AQ/MB buddies (Benghazi), why in the heck would he care about dead Americans? /s/

Bambi must have realized what a PR disaster it was to deny death benefits to these families.

I think his plummet to 37% might have something to do with it. His MSM cover is unravelling.......

Yes, it was impossible not to see a parallel between Obama polling and his blinking, here.

Cspan senate and House floor debate has been good today as I freep on the tablet.

There is lift under my wings with today’s news, but I still know that trouble is coming. Obama is increasingly desperate.

It's inevitable, it's what he wants, it's how he divides us and uses crises to aggrandize power for the totalitarian left. Fortunately for us, the bloom is now off the rose. Actually, it never was a rose, just a big pile of manure that they promised would grow roses.

The Tea Party languished because after turning out in our millions in 2010, nothing seemed to change. Spending continued unabated, emblemized by the continued funding of CPB, among many, many other outrages.
Sen. Cruz and others have shown that, while we may have been in a funk, we weren’t defunct.
