Posted on 09/18/2010 8:58:27 AM PDT by DelaWhere

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.

Socialism ALWAYS fails, ALWAYS. Off to the Political Guillotine for any politician who thinks otherwise.

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

You are dealing with people who are quite willing to take down the entire American electoral process just to cling to power. It should send a chill down your back. These are dangerous times, far more dangerous then any of us realized.

"Hmmm, and what will their response be?"

Lip service.

They thought there political machine was invulnerable. Now they aren't so sure.

But they aren't going to go changing their ideology because the little people won a handful of elections.

“Hmmm, and what will their response be? “

It’s a surprise, and I think it’s coming in October.

"These men and women are coming to Washington to join the fight, not the club. Their principles are clear: free-enterprise economics, limited government and individual liberty." -Jim Demint

The armorer beat the infantryman to the punch! That Demint line caught my attention, also. Semper Fidelis...

McCain was the equivalent of a football team that deliberately hiked the ball backwards and ran sideways.

Nonsense. He lost because he is an incompetent fool. It's as simple as that.

Democratic states of Washington and Wisconsin

Please don't label Wisconsin a "Democratic state". There are three and a half counties and some Indian reservations which put us into the Blue column. If we could get rid of Motor Voter and have photo ID required we'd be solidly Red.

...candidates Dino Rossi and Ron Johnson.

Ron Johnson is currently ahead of Russ Feingold and looks likely to maintain his lead. Which leaves us with Herb (dormouse) Kohl, who is such a cypher that the only harm he does is limit us to a single Senator.

Regards,
GtG

two Senators from Georgia,

Johnny is suddenly an arch conservative.

But I remember a picture of him, Lindsey Grahmnesty and Ted Kennedy whooping it up over some liberal bill that had been passed.

Maybe this has made a believer of him.

True. Murkowski is acting like someone who just lost her place in the “bunker.”

Jim DeMint, what a great man and he’s MY Senator. I’ve actually met him and he was gracious enough to take a photo with me. Give ‘em hell Jim!

I am starting to feel the people are really fighting back now.

We cannot let up one minute. We have to expose them and keep exposing them.

Sorry ping list. This is two days old. Please forgive me.

(I could blame on you guys since no one pinged me to this; I sorta stumbled over it on my own :)

  
Jim
DeMint
Ping!

Want on or off this ping list? Just FReepmail me.

Follow Sen. DeMint on Twitter.

Jim is running for reelection this November. If you like his philosophy, consider tossing him some bucks. Or better yet, since it appears Mr. Greene is not going to offer Jim much competition, send bucks to Jim's PAC, the Senate Conservatives Fund. You can be assured your bucks will be distributed to worthy conservative candidates.

Welcome to all the new ping list members.

I'm praying for an earthquake election in November that will shake Washington to its core. I'm doing all I can to make it happen. And everyone who has been working toward this goal can be sure: All of Washington can hear you now.

I'm surprised he has time to work and raise funds for others considering the tough race he is in.

Yeah, I figure he's running at least 20 hrs a day.

Seriously, I wonder what/how much campaigning he'll do in the next 40 or so days.
