And after O’Donnell wins the “establishment” republicans will continue to lambast her at every turn. This is going to be a long war. But hopefully, no more than two years.

2010 will separate the true Americans from the TRUE MARXIST.

Americans have been lulled into thinking Communism was defeated, and now dead.
That is true in central Europe where I lived for about eight years.

The red bear is not dead. It just moved to the USA, with the election of the first Marxist POTUS.

Good article, and I tend to agree. The Tea Party has won in Delaware regardless of the outcome....

I think too, there is something called timing. Palin did the right thing endorsing McCain. We have a better chance of reforming him than supporting someone early on in the movement.

Had McCain’s seat come up in two years, there’s no way he’d have Sarah’s or anyone elses support.

I like too, the comment in the article about how clueless someone like Rove is.

When people, who have never spoken up, never attended a rally, who have always taken their freedoms for granted spontaneously rise up, as in the TEa Party...you know something is happening.

Since Obama has been in office...everyday....every single day I pray to myself regarding the future of this country.

We are one click away of our nation being a house of cards. When a Supreme Court justice says that we should have distinct laws for Islam, and our president is siding with the UN to inact such laws, we know we’re in trouble.

I’m sorry, but it seems to me that Islam=Radical Islam,otherwise you’d see their religious leaders speaking out against terrorism.

Dear "Establishment",

I don't think you comprehend what is really at stake. It's either a successful "Tea Party" purge or Civil War II.

I'm good either way, though leaning towards the latter.

The RINO party brought this on themselves.

This guy gets it about Fox News.

They use conservatives like Hannity, Beck and Palin to draw us in so Bill O’RINOlly can give us the corporate editorial in the disguise of a “common man.”

The O'Donnell win is like my favorite line from the movie The Fugitive. U.S. Marshall Tommy Lee Jones has fugitive Harrison Ford cornered. Ford says, "I didn't kill my wife." Jones replies, "I don't care." His job wasn't to sort that out on the spot. His job was to bring in the fugitive. Sometimes justice gets sorted out later.

That's good.

I'm not thrilled with O'Donnell but I don't care either. I've read the comments of incredulous democrats who would be perfectly pleased if Alvin Greene won.

The primaries are over. A "Republican" who voted conservative only half the time lost. Tough.

The DC crowd has to go, and the Republican Party needs to shut up with the "Just not THIS election" BS it's been pushing forever. They need to realize we know they value hanging out with liberal dems more than the "clutching to guns and religion" crowd who they so obviously take for granted.

Someone told me "Good luck turning back Obamacare now!" I told him that since Castle said there was no need to bother trying while Obama was in office, why'd we need Castle, his belated bill during the campaign notwithstanding?

This isn't the year for "Not this year."

Exactly! The Establishment thinks this is like the Regan Revolution and they will absorbe and difuse us and then get back to business as usual. Hell NO! America is undergoing a a colonoscopy and the polyps will be removed. A little cancer cannot be tolerated.

My ancestors were Rebs, I now know how they felt in 1860. Sometimes you gotta do what ya gotta do. If this TEA thing doesn't work, we may have to play the last card in the deck.

Agreed,I would love to see a eal Conservative Channel that doesnt have ANY Democrat Hack Strategists,I am sick of being Manipulated, If I want to hear the Left wing Propaganda I have several outlets o choose from, I want to hear the FACTS,not a Bunch Of Blather from air heads, Fox news is beginning to get on my nerves they put idiots on just to get your blood pressure up.
There is no point in putting people on to discuss an issue just for them to make ridiculus assertions.
Yesterday they had That Tamera Holder on talking about the Tea party movement and she said that they were a Bunch of nuts who want their own island ,they want to do away with the entire Government,we cant abolish all social programs!
Now what a waste of time that is and what other than show this person is brain dead does that accomplish, they could have had a segment on people from the March to Washington or from many of the Tea parties across the country,in other words POSITIVE uplifting stories to make people want to get involved in what I see as a Battle to save the America we all want to see restored. This degrading and imbecilic programming is nothing but Depressing.

Rupert Murdoch built his newspapers on sex and conservative economic opinion, not to mention hyped up controversy.

Then he expanded into the television business and created a fourth network with the elements other than the conservative economic opinion.

But with Roger Ailes as the head honcho, Murdoch got Fox News going with its sexy anchors and conservative opinions.

Its quite a show they put on, but it leaves me empty after awhile and I head online for some serious news and opinion.

I make it a point though to watch Glenn Beck as much as I can.

The Tea Party is the best example of Adam Smith’s “invisible hand” of the market.

Those involved in the legislation, regulation, and bureaucracy of political campaigns do not get it and cannot come-to-grips with the Tea Party.

We are in, what these professional political hacks would call, uncharted waters......allowing the electorate a free hand to make their voice heard.

Just like the true free-market, there are those who fear it, those who want to control it, and those who want to be a part of it.

The Tea Party is simply the private sector’s attempt to survive.

They don't see the urgency that those of us in the private sector see.

I think this also explains why so many liberals are beginning to see the light. They are liberals who work in the private sector and see (finally) that liberal policies will kill their livlihoods.

These people are trying to kill capitalism, and the Roves, Krauthammers, teachers, trial lawyers, pundits, and government workers just don't see it as an existential issue, while those of us in the private sector do.

When the Twin Towers fell in New York on 9/11, and news cameras switched to views of Muslinm villages around the Middle East, with their entire populations in the streets, dancing and laughing and stomping on American flags as they chanted "Death to America!", we were not looking at "a few extremists who had hijacked a rligion."

We were looking at the unmasked face of global Islam. All of them. There is no difference between the extermists and Islam in general when it comes to their hatred of us all. They are all The Enemy. And a picture is still worth a thousand words.
