If I pray, then I believe God can do it; if I believe God can do it, then I pray.
Yes, I do.
Stand with me. Anyone?
The Tea Party movement will have to merge with the Republican Party in the end, but it’s important that the Tea Partyers hold out for an improved Republican Party. In the end, the unifying, galvanizing force will be the candidates in 2010 and then, most importantly, the candidate in 2012—and that will have to be Sarah Palin if the Tea Party movement and Republicans are to each get the most out of their eventual alliance. Palin is the right answer to all the questions.
They have that backwards, The GOP will have to team up with the Tea Party, Big difference.
As I’ve said before, the GOP is going to have to accept and align themselves with the TEA Party Patriots in order to achieve any victory.
The columnist here is precisely right.
The Tea Party movement should be strongly supported, but political hacks who have siphoned off millions of dollars, like Sal Russo (of the "Tea Party Express"), should be sidelined in favor of the true grass roots.
Ping!!
This is where things need to focus today. These blue dogs.
Writing letters or sitting in Senators offices won’t work. (I tried some of that). The Senate is in the bag. Those 60 are all bought off and many insulated from elections for 3 to 5 years.
But the House. Different story. All those Dems could ensure their future by either switching parties or going against Obama on healthcare. They will all lose re-election next year unless they stop Obamacare. People need to put the focus and marches on those reps. It is the last chance, but a good one we have in my opinion.

Run a really controversial ad against one of the most susceptible RATS in the house. If it’s mean enough the State Run Media will give you all kinds of free time in denouncing it!
“If the 215 who voted “no” on the first round stay firm, only three Democrats need to be turned.”
The problem with that analysis is that undoubtedly a significant number of those 215 were donkeys who were “released” by Pelosi from voting for the bill in order to maintain their electoral viabllty in 2010.
Of those who initially voted for the bill, if a handful get peeled from the herd for the final vote, rest assured that Pelosi will be leaning on those who dissented initially to get on board to pass the final bill.
I expect it can be stopped in the house (and I hope Stupak will be the one to do it), but given the groupthink that thrives among Dems, I think it will be a longshot.
Romney is an older version of Obama...says one thing but believes once in power he can change the minds of us “simple folk.”
I see no leader in the Republican Party. However, they have done what they could. Maybe these constitutional questions that are being researched in every state will save WE THE PEOPLE!
Until then, I will pray that God will have mercy on us and save us from those who want to hurt us most as a country. God gave us freedom and we now have to fight to keep it. It should not be! It should not be! God is the only one who can save us now!
Some good points in the article, but Hugh's not really in any position to be setting up milestones the Tea Party movement must meet to prove it's motives or legitimacy. And I doubt he'll be the only one trying to set parameters of what the movement must do.
It needs to keep its distance from the Republican insiders until the motives of the Republicans are better known. They can exert influence on the next house votes on Obamacare without taking direction from anyone outside the movement.
Reid knows his career is over, HE DOESN’T CARE!
Okay, lets keep the pressure on - especially Nelson. The governor and people of Nebraska are really giving it to him. Lets add fuel to the fire! Let him know we are not only sick of the corruption of which he is chief benefactor, but we will also be cheering for the Cornhuskers to lose big to the Arizona Wildcats in their upcoming bowl game!

Be in D.C. for a massive protest on the day of the State of the Union Address! We need to ruin their “party” - no more status quo, no more business as usual - WE HAVE A COUNTRY TO SAVE!
It will only take a few to do so.
Don’t start the revolution without me.
It’s gotta work and we all have to do everything we can, including risking jail and shutting down Washington, D.C. with protests.
Shame on Hugh Hewitt for thinking that the Dems who voted NO the first time around were doing it out of a sincere belief that the bill was bad. It may be true of some, but far from all.
My Representative (McMahon, D-NY13) voted no because he is from a Red district and needed the cover. Nancy’s got a 40 vote majority, and can hand out “dispensations” like Halloween candy.
She’ll get the votes she needs with that kind of majority - it wasn’t anywhere NEAR as close as the totals seemed to reflect the first time around.
There is one MAJOR difference between the ‘Tea Party’ people and the GOP...a spine.
