(CNSNews.com) - Although the tea party's influence is "undeniable," it is not inevitable -- and it must be crushed for the good of the nation, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) argued in a long political speech on Thursday.
"They've won elections, stymied Democratic priorities and taken a sledgehammer to programs that are important to tens of millions of Americans," he complained.
Among other recommendations, Schumer suggested an IRS crackdown on funding for tea party groups. "We have to look at electoral reform," he said.
"Our very electoral structure has been rigged to favor tea party candidates in Republican primaries, even when the district or the state may not be that red."
Schumer said "the tea party machine" has a particularly strong influence on Republican primaries, partly because the far right turns out to vote; and partly because of gerrymandering -- "where Republicans have learned to capture state legislatures and then use innovative technology to draw districts where a Democrat could never be elected. -

I wanted to post a Gadsden Flag so I did an image search on Ixquick and under 'image' nothing came up. I then used the search engine Devilfinder and got the same result. I didn't want to use an image from a flag company because they'll probably break the link. If no flag shows above that's what happened. I even searched on 'gadsden flag, free republic' and found several threads but no pics of the flag as it is above remained linked in them.
Is the Gadsden Flag being purged from the net? I don't do Google or Bing so maybe someone who does can see if they can get an image there. I also used the search 'don't tread on me' and got the same non-result.
What the Democrats are very good at is “laying the rhetorical groundwork” for a future circumstance. They clearly expect to be crushed in the midterm elections. They will then run to the courts for relief.
I see you have the Gadsden but it looks like you have it on your own photobucket account. See my post #21.
Yep, it’s gone from post #21 now. That’s what happens when you hotlink to a commercial webpage.
This Thursday speech of his just keeps on giving. I’d go find the whole speech and read it but I’m too pleased reading different excerpts from it everyday.
He’s broadcasting the RATS death this Nov without even realizing it. Dumb, insulated NYer.
I remember when Mayor Koch called him a “Putz”.
Before that, I had no idea what it meant but knowing what kind of thing Schumer is, it became clear.
Schumer said "the tea party machine" has a particularly strong influence on Republican primaries, partly because the far right turns out to vote; and partly because of gerrymandering -- "where Republicans have learned to capture state legislatures and then use innovative technology to draw districts where a Democrat could never be elected.
"Hence, the Republican House member only has to look over his right shoulder and moves much further to the right than the average voter in his or her district would want."
The same thing can happen in Democratic primaries, Schumer admitted -- "but at the moment, it is far more exaggerated on the Republican side."
Oh yes, the commies do it but it is very very bad when the republicans do it...
It is what they are, mentally disordered.
Not right in the head.
There is no cure.
Many times I have posted this.
So, as it is said, one more time...
They are beyond help, they do not have the capacity to be educated out of communism disguised as "liberalism and progressiveness." They can not or refuse to see the destructive nature of communism disguised as "liberalism and progressiveness" they promote.
What the supporters of communist "liberalism and progressiveness" will destroy is the very nation that gave them their freedom. They will complain, demonize, belittle and protest when opposed for nothing other that preserving this Republic in it's original context "by the consent of the governed."
They will not stop destroying this nation of their own accord.
The only way to preserve freedom for American Citizens in this Republic is suppression of the communist supporters by some overwhelming means.
"Taking the high road" is rapidly becoming something to be put on the shelf for a while. It is now time to step up, get in their face and refuse any narrative other than they are worthless communist agenda bastards undeserving of a place in this Republic.
I think the liberals actually like the electoral college system...been playing on it's weakness for years...
They pretty much have 210 voted sewed up every national election...
That leaves them lots of money and resources to get the 60 more votes to win...
Soros funded an organization geared to winning as many elected Secretary of State seats as possible (Secretary of State Project)a critical position in certifying the electoral college vote in states...
I think libtards fear state legislations changing the laws so each state congressional district the candidate wins gets that electoral vote.....
That would vastly change the face of running a campaign and dilute the dems locked states...
Methinks not.

I don’t live in a world of wishful thinking.
I recall people in 2008 telling me that my pessimism about Obama was ‘not helpful to America’.
History is a clear teacher. Unicorns and skittles are not going to do away with where history says we are going.
I quit using Google a long time ago, and went to Bing search. That’s where I found the gif of the Gadsden flag you’re asking about.
Seems to me, if the image were being systematically purged from the web, Google and Bing would be the last places you’d find it, but they both have tons of them.
Thanks for checking. Ixquick searches Google and other engines itself and usually comes up with tons of images no matter what the search. To get the ‘no documents of that description’ message for both ‘gadsden flag’ and ‘don’t tread on me, flag’ (and variations thereof) just amazes me. Not even the commercial postings of it, which obviously exist, come up.

that should be good enough quality to create the master.
Who's talking unicorns and skittles? I'm talking about raising group morale, which has to be done, if we're to have any hope of winning this emerging fight. You can't do that by constantly telling people that they're powerless before the gargantuan, almighty state.
There isn't a military on the face of the earth that can defeat a home grown, armed insurgency, tens of millions strong, as long as that insurgency has the willingness to stand and fight.
The enemies of freedom know this, which is why they do everything in their power to defeat the patriotic right on the only battlefield on which they can win --- the mind.
Please do not render them aid and comfort in that endeavor.
We should make a small contribution to the tea party every time one of these tyrants attacks the Tea Party.
