Last Saturday, hundreds of thousands of people left the comfort of their homes to come to Washington to make a statement to their elected representatives:

"We want you to shrink the size of our bloated government. We don't want it increased, not for health care, the environment, education, art, farmers, saving the children, world peace or a thousand and one other excuses politicians have used over the last century to increase the size of the federal government to the point that it has crippled the free market and the ability of taxpayers to provide for themselves.

"In other words, we want you to do less, not more!"

The Republican Party sees the tea party moment as a way to make big gains in 2010. But this is not about the Republican Party. After 40 years in the congressional wilderness, Republicans were swept into power in 1994. In a few years – a very few – they were spending like Democrats.

Amen! To hell w/ the Republican Party. This is about preserving & protecting our Constitution, our capitalist system based on individual liberty, respect for innocent life & property, & our God-given right to pursue happiness as we see fit....provided that respect the rights of others, of course.

The Washington tea party might have been a wake-up call for the Republicans. They seem to have found religion. How long it last who knows.
