Establishment GOPers don’t quite get the power of TEA party movement, but scared Democrats do
The Collins Report ^ | May 3, 2010 | Kevin “Coach” Collins

The far reaching power of the TEA party movement has thus escaped some Republican “leaders” and this will lead to their great disappointment after the November 2 elections.

WE know what’s taking place in our streets and meeting halls. WE know what is coming. The problem is the myopia of the media and a number of Republican and erstwhile conservative “leaders.”

The embarrassingly uninformed reactions to the new Arizona illegal alien control law clearly shows many Republicans have not recognized the new political reality.

The shameful remarks about “Nazi Germany” by Connie Mack are illustrative of some of the Establishment Republican’s choice of Party over country. Clearly Mack knows nothing about the genuine threat to American freedoms and safety being experienced every day in Arizona and the rest of the Southwest. If he does he obviously doesn’t care. He and other feckless Republicans worry more about their Party than our country.

Because we have heard similar remarks from cowardly Republicans like Marco Rubio and Karl Rove is it any wonder the TEA party movement has emerged as more powerful than the Republicans?

Democrats “get it” even if Republicans don’t

While many Republicans have reacted to the Arizona law by hiding under their desk afraid of some imaginary Hispanic backlash, Senate Democrats have signaled they hear the message from our rallies and they recognize the power in our numbers.

Their new immigration overhaul proposal calls for expanding boarder patrols tripling fines for hiring illegal aliens and requiring all American workers to get new Social Security cards linked to their finger prints. This sounds more like a list generated at a TEA party rally than a Democrat caucus, and disturbingly more than something coming from the people who think they run the Republican Party.

We can’t wait for

Remember when the ONLY people in the world who didn't believe Star Wars would work were the Democrats in the American Congress? The Soviets had to disagree with their American useful idiots and the folded their tent.

Now we see somwhat of a reverse. The Democrats believe in the political power of the TEA party movement but the Republicans have yet to fully understand what is going on.

The Republicans are mistakenly assuming that because Tea Partyers are protesting Obama, they will all pull the trigger for the Republican incumbants or those running against Dems. They had better wake up and understand that we are also sick of RINO’s.

The RNC types still think they can bamboozle their way into the Tea Party Movement and take over the steering wheel.

We've revoked their drivers permits.

The same proof of citizenship and thus the right to vote must be presented before voting. Voter fraud MUST be an issue addressed by the Tea Party Patriots before November. Video cameras manned by volunteers at all polling sites on November 2nd must be organized. Investigate and prosecute all voter fraud.

The Establishment Republicans are the go along get along RINO crowd who were very comfortable in the 70s playing nice with the RATs until Ronald Reagan and those nasty conservatives upset everything. They’ve never forgiven conservatives for that and hate them more than the RATS do. Now they see the Tea Party as the next wave crashing in just as things were going back to the way they were with the RATS running the show and the RINOs keeping their heads down. Just look at how McCain and the RINOs were soft on Obamao, but are going full force against JD Hayworth.

The McCain-Kennedy bill contained the biometric ID card, securing the border, add more BP. etc. as part of the enforcement carrot. It was linked to when amnesty would start. This is just a ploy by the Dems to appear that they favor enforcement, but the real objective is amnesty.

The Dems don't get the Tea Party anymore than the RINOs do.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It just sets my teeth on edge that Bush did so little about voter fraud when he had the chance.

You are absolutely right. Voter fraud must be stopped.

Mark my words, the real Revolution is going to come when we put the GOP back in control of Congress and the Elitists go all RINO on us. In the end the Tea Party movement is going to wind-up being a much bigger problem for the GOP establishment than for even Obama.

Bush, like Rove, believed that the illegals who did manage to sneak in and vote would pull the lever for the RINOs and thus keep the House and Senate - fools never learn.

IMO, Bush helped give us Hussein by his lack of standing up to the MSM for eight years.

I followed the Repubs and celebrated their historic 1994 revolution. In a short time they rolled back welfare, balanced the budget and made some fair inroads to big government-of course Clinton took credit for it all and the MSM made it happen.
I groaned at the idea of having Clinton for another four years in 1996.
When 2000 came, again I celebrated that the GOP had finally took control, although the shenanagins of the Dems, along with turncoats, prevented a complete victory.
Yes, 9/11 politically turned everything on its head, but patriotism was at an all time high-I remember the Dems gnashing their teeth at the patriotic movement.
But Bush went with the war in Iraq with winds of the patriotism movement blowing his way.
But then we got the Bush's "lack of standing up to the MSM"
Amnesty attempt
Prescription drug entitlement
Deficit after deficit, year after year
Etc.

End result is total discouragement of the Repub voters-yes, that is Bush's fault!

Most of the Republicans at the top of the party were Democrats back before Reagan's terms. The neocons were Democrats who split from their party's radical leftists, became Republican yuppies in the 1980s, and are now the RINOs who fight to keep conservatives out of office. They are still just Democrats with a stock portfolio.

Can we vote to stop voter fraud?

That's one problem that will eventually require "voting from the rooftops".
