And all this time I thought it was "Party of Know."
The GOP still doesn’t get that the Tea Party’ers are almost as pissed at THEM as they are at democrats. The tea party is against BIG GOVERNMENT and over-taxation, and the GOP is PART of the problem.
To Illustrate: Mike Steele is still the head of the GOP. A RINO.
Enough said.
BUMPER STICKER!
One thing we must understand - to quote a famous political philosopher - “When people see a strong horse and a weak horse, by nature, they will take the strong horse”.
Pelosi's and Obama's battles that they win will increase their popularity. That's a fact.
Getting rid of them through the mechanism of parasites and idiots voting is going to be VERY HARD WORK, and increasing public awareness of Article I, section 8 and the Tenth Amendment, although important, won't be sufficient.
If "health care" had lost, she would be weaker. As it did not lose, she's stronger.
Those are the facts of life.
** Despite, or perhaps because of, this high level of awareness, Republicans have built a solid lead [of 9 points] over Democrats on the Generic Congressional Ballot.**
BTTT!
What is all this talk of Ron Paul?
He wouldn’t win at all!
You sir are incorrect... well meaning.. but incorrect. Obama and Pelosi both expected huge bounces in their polls. They got an initial pimple and then further fall.
They are popular within the beltway and that is it. The people holding power should be capitalizing on that power by throwing their campaign money around to other dems and stumping for them.
Right now no democrat wants Obama at their rallies (if they are even having them) The guy running for Murthas old seat asked BIDEN to stump for him at a fundraiser OUTSIDE his own district. Biden for God sake? Next thing you will see is carter coming out for these idiots.
The nightmare has already begun. Palin and the tea party has the momentum and the Political Capital that NO ONE ELSE ( right OR left) has.
This means all the money that the left was planning on raising from now till november is way way down.
10 months ago they spoke about “Democrat safe seats” there are no “safe seats”. Now all those former safe seat dems will hold on to their own money for themselves rather than help out vulnerable dems.
You believing Pelosi or Obama are politically stronger after health care means you are either willfully blind or so unaware of the political landscape you should read more rather than post.
THOSE are the facts of politics Sir.
Of course he won’t, it is the press trying to rally a loser to go against their guy. Like Mccain they promoted the hell out of him because they new he didnt electrify the right. Thus would lose.
The media loves the power to create and destroy persona. People fall for it daily. It is the seduction of ego. That is why they hate Palin. They want so bad for her to have weaknesses they can use to manipulate and exploit. However ( it appears) her identity does not come from the office she holds. When there is an internal driver for identity the press can not reach in and manipulate it. That drives them crazy and must get her out because they can not control the horse.
Most politicians can be played like violins because most are like actors. They are driven by an insatiable desire for external acceptance. All you have to do is feed them attention and they eat it up.... then you begin to pull it away and they begin to clamor to return it to the level it was. At that point the hook is set, they are compromised and you own them.
Good post. Hopefully, we are getting more new conservative folks to run in races, even at the local level, that will eventually trickle up (my term) to the higher offices and having a bigger impact.
But that will take time.
bkmk
Pataki is sure better than Myth Romney, Huckerbee, Newt & Callista (gag) and other RINOs supporting McStain.
You got that right. He was great on repealing health care.
I want Obama gone. He could do it. I do not care about social issues right now first we must get the Communists out of the White House. It is a national emergency.
They are led by an obnoxious woman with an exaggerated gavel.
There was a voter ID initiative somewhere around Texas or Florida. Republicans ought to introduce one everywhere and get behind it.
Crist is a pro-Acorn/SEIU POS. Let him run as an independent. FL economy is the worst is has been since probably the depression. Crist will lose.
“The Tea Party movement still defies easy description.”
I think this is the key to the success. As long as the group remains un defined and amorphous we will stay ahead of the MSM. If they define us they will divide us...
++++++++++++++
If we allow that dying RAT propaganda arm to define us, we’re truly weaker than I thought. Resist conventional wisdom about the press. Oppose them. Believe them not.
“There was a voter ID initiative somewhere around Texas or Florida. Republicans ought to introduce one everywhere and get behind it.”
Absolutely.
Regarding Pataki, an overtly pro-abortion, pro-homosexual Republican is not going to win the GOP presidential nomination. Giuliani proved that in 2008. Had he been pro-life, pro-tradional values, he’d have thumped McCain and Huckabee. Giuliani was a leading figure in terms of law and order and strong defence - Pataki doesn’t even have that going for him.
