Part of the question is what percentage of the parasite class will be out voting as opposed to the productive class.

And the parasites particularly don’t like wet, cold weather to vote in. I can’t remember the last time that worked to our advantage, but here’s hoping.

The GOP now controls the House, will retake the Senate and controls most State Governments.

Dunno about that. Last week's elections didn't bode well for the GOP. I doubt they'll take the Senate, and the 'Tea Party Revolution' seems to be over.

They are going to blow it like they did in 1992, 1996, and 2008. It’s because our little primary voters are committed to the second person’s “turn” to run .

You are right, but Bob Dole said FDR was “my hero” even though Dole in 1976 attacked “Democrat wars.” Our little Republican candidates nearly always get it wrong, or do shortly after taking office.

"Where is Palin on these ridiculous charges against Cain?"

I don't know where she is but I would just as soon she stayed out of it. I hope Mr. Cain does not handle what is happening to him now the way Sarah Palin handled her own problems with the press. I hope Mr. Cain hangs in there and does not quit.

The time is coming for the Tea Party to make another robust appearance. Once called The Great Silent Majority, they will be energized and activated by the corruption, violence and rioting the 'rats have planned for next Summer and Fall, just as they were energized in 1972 by the same instigation.

They will not be interviewed by Woof Blitzer, or Brian Willyums. Bill OReally will not really be interested, as there will be no headliner to badger and suck up ratings of 12 year old viewers.

They(we) will have our rallies, but mostly quietly go about our business, and on election day deliver the most decisive repudiation in history to the turd world Usurper and his totalitarian crime family. If it doesn't happen that way, then we're done as a nation.

Saturday night before the debate Fox ran a feature on the Iowa caucuses. If you want to see how the GOP can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, google up that program, look at and listen to the kind of idiots who will pick republican candidates.

If Mitt Romney winds up with the nomination, then the Tea Party is a joke, and the party is over.

If a liberal can win the presidential nomination via voting in the primaries of the Republican Party, then the Tea Party has as much pull in the GOP as pro-lifers do in the democratic party.

Keep in mind, We're talking about Romney being the biggest vote getter state by state, if the tea party can't beat him, on their own turf, in the republican party, what the hell can they do at this point ????????

If he winds up winning South Carolina, or winning down south, then either the tea party is defacto supporting him or impotent or irrelevant.

If they can't beat him in a primary, then they can't beat eggs for breakfast.

Evil will always triumph over Good... because Good is dumb.

Thomas should be quiet. He is too inclined to speak truth;-) But I would hate it if Romney won Iowa simply because too many conservative candidates put their interests before the country.

Good question, Mr. Sowell, but I think the query is more appropriately asked of the conservative VOTERS: Will you allow liberal media slander and slant to kill your support for a true conservative in the race? There’s only one left, and it’s Cain. Is he perfect? No. Do we need perfect? No. He’s conservative, brilliant, and he loves this country. Every act he does as President will be from those three perspectives.

I would say you can take it to the bank that they will blow it. It is in the process of happening now.

I have a feeling that one of the reasons that Sarah didn’t run was just that......the prospect of a full court allegation by the Dems/media in the wake of a recently published “hit/smear” book..... the dems are scum when it comes to campaigning......and Obama is up to his eyeballs in it, along with Axelrod..... the next President will have to have the White House scrubbed from top to bottom and fumigated when Obama is finally removed......

Americans have become watchers of the medias, listeners of commentators, viewers ,,, as in cheering for our favorite teams ... football, basketball, golf, baseball, etc. We have become uninvolved except for a few vicarious experiences.

We seem to cower before all Washington has done and is doing to America. What to do, how, when ... what will amount to anything? In other words the youth aren't involved to a large extent. They are into their electronics, entertainment, and the check coming in the mail. Ambition is lesser expressed, complacency has taken over whole groups of peoples.

God help us to restore America to Godly faith and values, in Jesus name, amen.
