    UTAH TEA PARTY ORGANIZER DAVID KIRKHAM WRITES:

    These 4 pictures should strike more fear into the heart of a politician than any rockous town hall meeting, call, letter, or Tea Party. 24 hours ago we put out the word we needed 13 volunteers to be “Legislative Captains,” (one for each of the 13 state legislators we have here in Utah county). The Legislative Captains would work in their respective legislative districts to recruit delegates for the convention. We sent about 50 very targeted invites to people based on their address. We gathered the names from our Tea Party sign up sheets. 20 people showed up. So, with the extra people, we asked what expertise everyone had. We then divided up duties on Facebook, events, marketing, and a new website, www.utah912teaparty.com. On the whiteboard “POP” stands for Precinct Operation Program. Just say NO to RINOS.

    Here’s one of the pics. Cool setting!

    UPDATE: A reader emails: “I like it: Garage-band politics.” Heh. But that’s no ordinary garage.

    Polling News So Good Even Allah Is Giddy: Top Eight Most Vulnerable Senators? All Democrats
    Kos' Own Poll: "Nothing Short of Cataclysmic"

    —Ace

    And then lots of stuff about Democrats' denialism about "teabaggers." Because, see, the fact that the tea partiers are mostly on our side, and are energized and outraged and ready to crawl over broken glass to vote against Obama and his Democratic claque, is really a problem for us, because, see, all that enthusiasm on our side will scare America into voting against us.

    The Democrats' Nutroots Wranger Markos Moutsopholes (whatever his name is, Kos) vigorously agrees with this analysis.

    Oh wait, no he doesn't. In fact, he's warning of impending Democratic doom.

    Democrats had known there was an “intensity gap” between angry conservatives in the Republican Party and the unexcited Democratic base, and in a midterm election, base turnout often determines who wins the night. Yet no one suspected it was this bad.

    Nonpartisan pollster Research 2000 conducts a large-scale weekly poll for Daily Kos measuring voter sentiment toward key Republican and Democratic leaders and the parties (2,400 respondents, for a margin of error of 2 percent). Last week’s edition featured the typical generic congressional ballot test, and Democrats held a 37-32 advantage, not atypical compared to most other polling on that question. In its most recent polls, CNN had Democrats up 49-43, while Pew was at 47-42. And while Gallup bucked the trend, with Republicans up 48-44, those exact generic congressional numbers aren’t as important for the 2010 midterms as precisely who will turn out. And right now, it’s looking brutal for the Democrats.

    For the first time, I had Research 2000 ask, “In the 2010 congressional elections, will you definitely vote, probably vote, not likely vote or definitely will not vote?” The results were nothing short of cataclysmic:

    Among Republican respondents, 81 percent said they were definitely or probably going to vote, versus only 14 percent who were definitely or not likely to do so. Among independent voters, it was 65-23. Among Democrats? A woeful 56-40: Two out of every five Democrats are currently unlikely to vote.

    He then starts doing the stuff that I'd do too, were I him: It's not too late to turn it around, hey, anything can happen in a year, etc.

    But... well.

    Two in five Democrats say they're sitting next cycle out.

    And some fraction of those voting are voting Republican.

    "Teabaggers" are just killing this party. Damn them and their intensity and infectious enthusiasm! We don't need calls to arms right now; what we need is what the Democrats have: full-tub-of-Haagen-Dasz depression.

    58 There are a LOT of Democrats who are appalled at this President and this Congress.

    The most frequent comment I hear from retirees, many of whom have never voted for other than a Democrat in their lives, is "He wants to kill us off."

    BREAKING: Gateway Pundit blog came under at least two cyber attacks tonight that shut down the First Things website.
    This came after the report today on Barack Obama’s Safe Schools Czar’s child porn books.

    Scott Baker from Breitbart-TV.com and Co-Host of ‘The B-Cast‘ submitted a shocking report today on Obama’s deviant Safe Schools Czar Kevin Jennings.

    Scott Baker reported: I was recently approached by a team of independent researchers that I have known for some time and have come to trust. They prepared this report involving ‘Safe Schools Czar’ Kevin Jennings and the organization he founded, GLSEN, and asked that I find a way to help draw attention to what they uncovered. Knowing that Gateway Pundit has followed Kevin Jennings since his appointment, as we have on The B-Cast (here, here, and here), and on Breitbart.tv (here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here), I felt this would be an appropriate place for this report.

    The explosive report posted today (here and here) outed Obama’s ‘Safe Schools Czar’s sickening promotion of child porn books to school children.

    More… Please go read Founding Bloggers post on the Safe Schools Czar.

    UPDATE: (Saturday AM) There is another damning report on Kevin Jennings breaking this afternoon.

    Really tied up over here and not much time to work until tonight, but wanted to clue you in to two important stories you may have been missing:

    First, Gateway Pundit, and all of First Things has come under cyber attack for doing something rather daring – exposing the public school reading material recommended by Obama’s “Safe Schools Czar”, Kevin Jennings. This is VERY EXPLICIT AND UPSETTING MATERIAL so I give you fair warning. If you want to understand what this “safe school czar” (yet another Obama appointee who escapes congressional oversight) is doing -the extent of his fascination with gay sex and children- you will have to read a little of it. But you won’t like it. Jennings needs to answer for this and so does Obama, but since Jennings is a “czar” congress is not likely to make it happen.

    Obama should answer for his pesky, adolescent middle finger, too.

    Michelle Malkin:
    Exposes Kristof at the New York Times as -at the very least- a sloppy journalist, and perhaps an agendized flunky.

    Climategate: Ongoing story that is still barely being mentioned in the press. Not for a lack of interesting angles. The press just won’t allow the narrative to be tampered with. Scientific Data affecting the whole world may be tampered with, and fudged, but not the MSM Narratives!

    If you’re not reading about Climate-gate, you’re not reading anything about Carb-gate, either.

    More Bloggy Goodness: Have you checked out Blogs Lucianne Loves? Great reading for a snowy day!

    Finally, got a nice note from Ed Morrissey and his dear First Mate thanking Anchoress readers for their prayers. Marcia could have died from a blood infection, and Ed is still blogging via Hospital.

    Hey, thanks again for ordering your Mystic Monk Coffee and Christmas gifts and doing your Amazon shopping via this site. You’re helping me scrape together next semester’s tuition for Buster, and I am most appreciative!

     
     
    SCIENTISTS BEHAVING BADLY: Steve Hayward on the ClimateGate scandal. “The behavior of the CRU circle has cast a long shadow over the entire climate science community, and many honest scientists will now undeservedly bear the stigma of Climategate unless a full airing of the issues is conducted. Other important climate research centers with close ties to the CRU–including NASA’s Goddard Institute and the Climate Change Science Program at NOAA–should not be exempt from a full-dress investigation. Such a reevaluation must begin with an understanding of the crucial role the CRU circle has played in the global warming drama.” Read the whole thing, which provides a nice summary of the issues so far.

    Holy ostrich!

    As for our major media and the Climatic Research Unit affaire:

    The Sound Of All Hell Breaking Loose, Pt 13

    Jim Prentice - call your office;

    The Met Office plans to re-examine 160 years of temperature data after admitting that public confidence in the science on man-made global warming has been shattered by leaked e-mails.

    The new analysis of the data will take three years, meaning that the Met Office will not be able to state with absolute confidence the extent of the warming trend until the end of 2012.

    The Met Office database is one of three main sources of temperature data analysis on which the UN’s main climate change science body relies for its assessment that global warming is a serious danger to the world. This assessment is the basis for next week’s climate change talks in Copenhagen aimed at cutting CO2 emissions.

    Poor Harry.

    The Sound Of All Hell Breaking Loose: Our Friends, The Saudis

    The Australian;

    SAUDI Arabia has seized on a series of stolen British university emails to become the first country to cast doubt on the consensus about man-made climate change ahead of next week's Copenhagen summit.

    [...]

    [C]hief Copenhagen negotiator, Mohammad al-Sabban, suggested in an interview with the BBC yesterday that there was now no longer any point in seeking an agreement to reduce emissions.

    "It appears from the details . . . that there is no relationship whatsoever between human activities and climate change," he said.

    "Climate is changing . . . but for natural and not human-induced reasons. So whatever the international community does to reduce greenhouse gas emissions will have no effect on the climate's natural variability."

    His government might be prepared to take "no cost" measures to control emissions but more drastic and painful action would be out of the question until there was "new evidence" about what was causing climate change, he said.

    Globe & Mail readers must be wondering what rock their paper was hiding under for the past two weeks.

    On a political level, coming on the eve of the Copenhagen summit, the controversy has been catastrophic...

    Those stupid bastards gave us a whole two weeks to blanket the internet with the contents and analysis of those files. Now, that it's finally hit the "news", guess what's waiting for those folks just sitting down at their computers for their first search...

    Like I said, it's a spin doctor's worst nightmare.

    And I'm lovin' it.

    As world climate scientists head off to Copenhagen, the Danish Speaker Thor Pedersen warned about global warming junk science.
    The Politiken reported:

    As the world prepares to converge on Copenhagen for the COP15 Climate Summit, Denmark’s Speaker of Parliament has expressed serious doubts as to the way in which the climate debate has developed.

    “The problem is that lots of people go around saying that the climate change we see is a result of human activity. That is a very dangerous claim,” Parliamentary Speaker and former Finance Minister Thor Pedersen (Lib) tells DR.

    “Unfortunately I seem to experience that scientists say: ‘We have a theory’ – then that crosses the road to the politicians who say: ‘We know’. Who can be bothered to hear a scientist who says ‘I have a theory’ when politicians go around saying ‘I know’” Thor Pedersen says.

    Thor Pedersen adds that the temperature has not risen in the past decade.

    “I’m not saying that in the decade that the temperature has fallen or stagnated is enough to evaluate developments. But one should only say what one knows,” the Speaker adds.

    “You should say that although we believed in our models, that the temperature would rise from 1998 to 2008, we have to admit that it has not risen. We cannot explain why it has not risen, but we believe we still have a problem. I’m just asking that people say what they actually know,” Pedersen tells DR.
