A “rag tag group of misfits”. Sounds like that bunch of men who fought the British elite.

“Rag Tag”, “Gung Ho!”, “Lock & Load”, “Ba-da-Bing!”, “Presto Change-O!”

Did anybody see Mort Kondracki last night on Special report? Talk about a guy going over to the “dark side”. I always knew he was aa border line liberal but he semed somewhat moderate when he was on Beltway Boys. Last night, he sounded like a left wing loon.

Why when asked or charged about extraneous issues like masterbation, racism, personal issues doesn’t a candidate simply just dismiss them as “political stategies”?

We all know the deal. Why not say it?

If I were O’Donnell, Tea Partiers or other politicians, when asked about diplomas, masterbation, racism etc. I would simply reply that these are not issues but a “political strategy” that I would assume you as a reporter, commentator, pundit would be sophisticated enough to see through and not be an unwitting accomplice to political warfare on my opponent’s behalf.

I suspect that many of the political establishment are finally realizing that the Tea Party is real, is grassroots and is a force to be reckoned with this election cycle.

Don’t forget, these people went right along with dismissing the Tea Party as a front for conservatism. It is not. It is a union of those opposed to over-reaching, ever-growing government.....conservatives are just a part of this.

By the way, do you notice we do not hear the term “Tea Bagger” anymore? That tells me the reality is setting in.

No I don’t trust Kirsten Powers - I saw her dismiss the New Black Panther’s case as unimportant - I saw her tell America to “get over” 9/11. She sneers at the TEA Party.

“Can the Kirsten Powers who says “the Tea Partiers care deeply about the future of their country” really be the same Kirsten Powers who, just a month ago, wrote that Republicans were consumed by a “long, hot summer of hate”? Is Powers simply trying to play both roles to keep her image up ....?”

I believe she has a thyroid problem. If she's irrational when expressing negative feelings about the Tea Party she's apt to be just as irrational and irritating when expressing the opposite view. Either that, or she's tailoring the opinions she presents on television based upon peer (e.g. Megyn Kelly) and audience reactions. Either way, her opinions reveal far more about her than the subject under discussion.

If info babes are going to be irritating, flighty, and inconsistent air heads, they should at least be beautiful so that I don't feel compelled to change channels and not just turn down the sound whenever spoil my field of view.

More and more moderate republicans are realizing that they can either stand with the TEA party, or they can face oblivion alone.

It doesn’t really matter anymore if the TEA party is right or viable to the center. The TEA party owns the loyalty of too much of the core of the Republican party to be ignored.

If the TEA party is driven off they will take the base of the republican party with them.

This is not a republican Civil War this is an almost entirety one sided massacre.

You can go with us or you can go with the democrat/socialist.

One way or the other an epic storm is gathering, one so epic that the very fabric of our union may be shattered.

We have 2 completely incompatible forces on a collection course, I know at least one of them is determent to fight for freedom to the death. I don’t know what the determination the leftist have, but if it is anything like ours, and they are unwilling to peacefully separate, there will be a real shooting War.

A war in which those loyal to freedom(Captilsim) will forced to put everything on the line to defend it from hoses fascist leftist loyal to totalitarianism/total state/Communism.

Who wins this war depends entirely upon the make up and preparation of the sides. If our advantage is large enough there will never be a shot fired(Tyrants are nothing if they are not cowards), if it is too small then we will all be “removed” for simply speaking of our opposition or being potent future threats.

If it is somewhere in between the tyrant might be able to muster enough forces to wage an actual military campaign against us.

It is our job to see to it that this never comes to actual fight. That means we must build a force of patriots so form-able as to make confrontation on their side too risky for the tyrants.

Remember our key objective in this is raising the risk, and decreasing the likelihood that the tyrant will come out of this alive should they choose to tempt fate.

They must be “convinced” that it is in their best interest to pick anther day, and anther people.

Inevitably as with all things we will simply be buying time before we or our decedents must face this evil again.

The expansion of the state and the greed of tyrants to rule without the consent of the governed(individually) is an evil that can-never be truly or permanently defeated. Such is the course of human events, such is a product of our nature which condemns us and our posterity to endlessly re-fight this battle.

It is essential that we equip our children to win this battle when it comes to be their time to fight it.

They must know of the inherit but necessary evils of government. They must know why, and they must know how to fight this evil.

This is part of living in a free society, constant vigilances.

Our advantage is the inherently human truths of individualism and liberty.

Theirs is the greed for power, and the fear of anarchy.

I have never liked her...in the past she always comes off as a vacuous bimbo mouthing illogical concepts.

We’ve been treated to obsessive coverage of Christine O’Donnell’s opinions on masturbation, and whether she had premarital sex, because we all know that these are the Very Important Issues facing our country.

If asked about premarital sex, she should ask if the questioner supports homosexual marriage; then ask if the person followed up the convictions they have today by indulging in homosexual sex.

I listened to her BS with Greta last night; the direct response to the question posed is NO.

She has spotted what the rest of the vicious progressives hadn’t.

Continual vicious attacks on Mamma Grizzlies only make us dig in more and help those candidates...

The citizenry aren’t concerned about what color lipstick women are wearing, they are concerned about JOBS and out of control government!

And the lamestream media has lost a lot viewers. You can’t propagandize those who aren’t watching.
