More work to be done.

Civility.

“After hearing Michele Bachmann’s foray into misdirection and outright falsehood, one has to wonder: Would most Americans, including most Republicans, still feel the same or would they want someone with a tighter grasp on the truth as the Congressional leader of the Tea Party?”

Puleeze!

One outing by Bachman, that was below par, does not an abandonment of the Tea Party make. Broadly voters recognize citizen government when they see it, and know that it has long been exchanged for shiny, finished, groomed and well handled pols. Bachman could have done MUCH better, yes, but she is still a great example of coming from the people. No handlers, not very media savy, no life-long climber with no life but politics. Instead, she is a mother and much more with a real life for most of her life.

Having said that, she is capable of a much crisper performance than she gave and she looked unprepared, which is why she is taking the heat. If you know you are going to be held to a higher standard, for whatever reason, then you better deliver or call someone in who can. Common sense. And she was LATE. Sorry, but we have to take it to the people and teach in perfect pitch for awhile.

According to this Gallup survey only 5% of Republicans oppose the TEA Party: people like Karl Rove, Dana PeRINO, elitist Beltway types and the “Bushies.”

Another Bachmann hit piece, I’m sure fully supported by the old guard in the GOP.

The problem is the egomaniacs now controlling the GOP. Power and status are all important to them, far more important than the Constitution and republican principles.

They may claim to be pragmatic, they tell us democrats would be worse, but accepting that stance can only lead to the eventual end of America as a free nation.

We need leaders to actively fight the leftward slide, not to make token protests before surrender.

I don't care what polls say. The great ignorant electorate, at least 50% of it, is a study in intelligence pathology.

When any political party "absorbs" the Tea Party, I will no longer associate myself with it.

After hearing Michele Bachmann's foray into misdirection and outright falsehood...

Can you be more specific Saul?
I ain't now, or ever, taking your word for it.
Or for anything else, for that matter.
