Washington can hear you now

Washington Post ^ | Sunday, September 19, 2010 | Jim DeMint

Christine O'Donnell's win on Tuesday may have shocked establishment politicians and the media, but it was no surprise for everyday Americans who have been struggling to get Washington's attention.

Hmmm, and what will their response be?

[dforest]

I think we are dealing with something much bigger than we may think we are.

The thought frightens and chills me to the bone.

[M Kehoe]

Hmmm, and what will their response be?

Crickets...

5.56mm

[Mmogamer]

To quote Tokyo Rove “FU”.

[darkwing104]

We should hire that Verizon guy for a commercial...Can you hear us now?

[Thane_Banquo]

It is clear to me now that Barack Obama was the choice, not only of the Washington Democratic establishment, but also the Washington Republican establishment. He was the establishment candidate, and his establishment opponent John McCain deliberately threw the election. Now, establishment Republicans like Karl Rove, Michael Steele, the NRSC, and the NRCC are fighting to protect their messiah. If we get too many Jim DeMint’s in the Senate, all the largesse and favorable regulatory laws they write for themselves will be seriously threatened.

I agree and have thought so for a long time. My hope is the dumb on the Left contain at least a few patriots that will eventually wake up and see the trouble ahead and that they have been duped. I truly believe if a few strong, patriotic, Leftists wake up they will be shocked. I still believe Hillary will be the one to come out swinging and portray herself as a patriotic savior.

[Thane_Banquo]

I’m guessing the ruling class response to the conservative groundswell will be “crickets” for now, and “5.56mm” if this keeps going on for several years

[dforest]

We are thinking alike. My mind keeps moving to what is really happening.

I feel ill.

[Cyber Liberty]

I like Jim DeMint. A lot. But, he does not yet speak for “Washington,” so I don’t believe the headline. They don’t hear us yet.

[Thane_Banquo]

I truly believe if a few strong, patriotic, Leftists wake up they will be shocked.

These "strong, patriotic leftists" will first have to crawl out of the cave where they are hiding with Bigfoot, Santa Clause, and the Easter Bunny.

[Moonman62]

Hmmm, and what will their response be?

To protect themselves at any cost.

[dforest]

What we can see develping is the establishment of a world government. The Tea Party people are in the way.

We are being drawn to a painful end.

[dforest]

develping=developing

sorry

[roses of sharon]

what will their response be?

Their response will be to double down on destroying us, they will NEVER let their power go.

And they have means to do it....the MSM, Hollywood, Academia, gov bureaucrats, law enforcement, the IRS.

[GAB-1955]

It’s not clear. McCain did not deliberately throw the election. The difference was that the GOP in Washington thought of itself as part of business as usual. It’s not business as usual anymore.

[DWC]

No, I don’t think so. She’s not the one.

[ExTexasRedhead]

Evil inhabits our government at every level. This plot was put in place decades ago; their Liberal brainwashing has been in our public school for decades. Part of a master plan? You decide.

The lamestream media and many in DC and elsewhere don’t get it; The Tea Party is We The People of the United States of America. We cherish our freedom and we will “not” let it be stolen by anyone. Too many patriots died to give us this freedom. We must honor their sacrifice by fighting back against this tyranny. Let’s Roll. November 2nd will be here quickly.

I said this about my two Senators from Georgia, who on first guess regarding McCain/Bush's foray into the compassionate conservatism of selling us out on immigration, opted for the "let's do something about it" [meaning let's appease]. Evidently, both these weasels caught so much shit they changed their tunes quickly. So I co-opted an old phrase "They changed their tunes, but they still haven't changed their hearts and minds". It is in their power-hungry selfish nature to garner ANY power they can grab, through appeasement, lying or just plain old deception.

I put the elitist, Beltway Republican establishment in this category. They simply have no fricking idea of what truly matters to the rest of this country and they never will, period. Fire them all.

[roses of sharon]

Strange how almost everyone on this thread is thinking the same thing. (see my #15 post)
