Was falling asleep but made some coffee with a little rum in it so not exacttly wideawake but feel better.
I would think that Illinois would be a much harder state to get a conservative in office than even Mass. Scott Brown was outspoken, made things clear to the people, 30 years in National Guard, mod-conservative appealed to them. His good clean looks didn't hurt him, he seems healthy & intelligent and sinsere. His apponent's atrocious record brought her down. I 'd guess the catalyst came when he said, "It's not Kennedy's seat--it's the People's." He won.
I don't know much about Mark Kirk except a flaming lib...so I guess if he is elected, then the people will work all the harder for other conservative candidates . And state by state they will win, lose some, win in another state. Until we outnumber the libs. It seems to be working.
So what is so dang funny?
What is funny is that what you posted is so ridiculous for whatever reason.....(and I truly don’t mean to bash but if it comes across that way - you’re right it is late and while I don’t have any rum or want any - maybe a little snack would perk me up...who knows....)
I was at the Tea Party Nation conference/banquet and heard Sarah Palin’s speech in person and viewed the rest of the convention by way of PJTV.com.
First there were at least 1000 people in that ballroom for her speech, not 600.
An attendee could either pay for the whole weekend (but these tickets were sold out when I finally became aware that there was a chance I could attend) - OR pay for just the banquet. Which is what I did. AND IT WAS THE BEST MONEY I HAVE SPENT IN MANY YEARS!
And, every single person in the room - except for the press who hate her guts - were in total unanimous and enthusiastic (understatement) agreement with EVERY WORD SHE SAID!
One thing she said was that this “movement” is not about any one person (nor any one “Tea Party” group).
It is, how can I explain - A MOVEMENT, A CAUSE, SOMETHING BIGGER THAN INDIVIDUALS AND BIGGER THAN INDIVIDUAL GROUPS.
SIGH
If you did not hear/see her speech - go to cspan.org or pjtv.com and watch it again in full and maybe you will understand what I am talking about.
If that doesn’t help you, I would suggest that perhaps you have an agenda other than what most in the Tea Party movement have. Maybe that’s just a temporary situation for you - pending more education. Or maybe you have a vested interest in seeing that the Tea Party movement fail.
I have no idea which it is for you.
Good luck.
