According to a Rasmussen poll earlier this week, 60 percent of Americans agree that the government has too much power and too much money. Among Republicans, 88 percent agree, while 62 percent of unaffiliated respondents and 35 percent of Democrats agree.

When factoring in the divide between Mainstream and Political Class respondents, however, Rasmussen discovered that a whopping 85 percent of Mainstream Americans – regardless of political party affiliation – agree with the common tea party protest that the government has too much power and too much money.

At the Tea Party I went I made a sign that said NO NEW TAXES throw the Bums out in 2010-2012. I will not vote for anyone who is a RINO.

Then why did so many vote in a socialist?

One doesn’t need to read the signs to tell that this isn’t a leftist/anarchist/socialist demonstration. The U.S. flags are waving from polls, rather than being trampled underfoot — and they aren’t ablaze.

Will tea parties 'throw bums out' in 2010?

Sarah Palin certainly does think so.

Here are the goals the GOP should adopt:
1. Take back the MSM by actively soliciting people to get jobs in the MSM.
2. Throw out ALL RINOs in 2010.
3. Find the best young conservatives in the country and get them elected.
4. Adopt a solid, unwavering platform and stick to it!.

Does this mean 85% of Americans are right wing extremists?

There will probably be a shift toward Republicans, but not enough. The unfortunate truth is that neither party has been good for America. (Disclaimer: I am a conservative Republican.) It is left to we, the people, to make the changes our country needs in order to continue its very existence. Are you ready for a long, difficult battle? If you are - and you should be - go to http://pushbackuntil.com and jump in!

Except for a handful, (McCotter, Pence, Ryan, Bachmann etc) throw them all out....

Give me 435 like Katrina Pierson, she has got more common sense than the whole dod gamb bunch of them.

The problem is the GOP is to blind to ask for a clean slate.

If they did it tomorrow they would have majorities that would make your head spin.

Beam me up Scotty, No intelligent life left in the RNC building.....

I am with you. He was a big wasteful spender in the 1980s with dems, I remember a book called Adventures in Porkland: How Washington Wastes Your Money 1992 and Spector was at top of list. Bush saved Spector 2004 to have a RINO to support his spending.

WE NEED TO GET THE RINO’S OUT IN THE PRIMARIES

PLEASE LISTEN CAREFULLY

NO ONE VOTES IN OFF-YEAR PRIMARIES!!

IN MY DISTRICT THERE WERE 32 PEOPLE ALL DAY in 2006.

Your vote is worth 1000 times more than it is in a general election.

AND!!!

REPUBLICAN TURNOUT IS THE DECIDING FACTOR!

HISTORICAL DEMOCRAP TURNOUT IS *CONSTANT* SO ELECTIONS RISE AND FALL WITH REPUBLICAN TURNOUT

WE ALSO NEED TO MAKE SURE LIBERATARIAN AND REPUBLICAN PARTIES SUPPORT THE SAME CANDIDATES WHEREVER POSSIBLE THIS ELECTION.

I THINK PALIN WILL WIN IN A LANDLIDE IN 2012 IF SHE IS ON THE REPUBLICAN AND LIBERTARIAN TICKETS!!!!!

My RINO would still be in office if it weren't for the SCHIPS vote and his selling us out on the TARP vote, first vote was NEA and then he was bought off and the next vote was YEA. Sorry Randy Kuhl, but you did this to yourself. Oh, and you'd better look for a job because we are going to rid the Country of that nice little retirement perk BS you folks enjoy at the Peoples expense.
