GOP leaders -- Mitch McConnell, John Cornyn, John Boehner, Karl Rove and others -- as well as establishment Republicans have no idea how livid Americans are with them.
Republican leaders are in a panic because they have lost control of the Republican Party.
Grassroots constitutional conservatives are inside the Citadel, and are poised to take over.
All across the country -- in the Northeast, the South, the West -- Americans feel betrayed by Republican politicians. Last nights election results show that the grassroots anger is directed at more than just the Obama-Reid-Pelosi Democrats.
Christine ODonnells inspiring upset in Delaware, Ovide Lamontagnes populist and improbable surge in New Hampshire, Carl Paladinos trouncing of Rick Lazio in New York -- and previous primary wins by Sharron Angle, Ken Buck, Joe Miller, etc. -- all have been the result of the grassroots uprising against big government and the ruling class, and in spite of the GOP establishment.
Never before in American history has a movement made such momentous change in such a short period of time.
As Reagan said in 1976, Americans want new leaders unfettered by old ties and old relationships.
The symbolically stupid decision last night by the National Republican Senatorial Committee not to fund Christine ODonnells general election campaign, which it reversed this morning only after a massive grassroots uproar, and Karl Roves meltdown on Foxs Hannity show will only fuel further primary challenges to GOP political leaders.
Current GOP leaders not retired in 2010, will be in 2012 and 2014, and can join their former colleagues, such as Trent Lott, on the K Street lobbying circuit. And, they should get used to saying, Majority Leader DeMint.
“The good part of this is that both the Democrats and Republicans should be running terrified, since the Tea Party is still fairly fragmented on a national basis, but very united on a local basis. Maybe, just maybe within three three election cycles, we can reacquire what made this country great.”
That’s right. I think both the Dims and Repubs are scared of what has been unleashed and how far it is going to go.
We picked off a few “moderates” during this primary season, but I consider it just a warm-up for 2012.
the lameduck session backlash by these enlightened, 'entitled' fools is gonna be a bitch tho...
Indeed!
...ignorance cheering illiteracy...
unfortunatly the only way to eliminate McCain is to vote for the Democrat.
we haven’t, we have taken over the existing GOP.
I say the leadership is not scared enough.
McCain is already saying he will vote for Dream Act AMENSTY.
What are you talking about?
...just playing “Grammar Police”... ‘-)
Rush and Sean and Mark are p*ssed off, along with millions and millions of others. These three guys and Sarah and DeMint will bring O'Donnell home.
You are witnessing a sea change in how politics is played.
I sent her money today.
Yes!!!!!!! and if you don't believe us...make sure you spend your money wisely...cause we donate to INDUVIDUALS!
You are also arrogantly assuming I don’t know the difference.
These are off the cuff jottings, we aren’t publishing White Papers here.
WRT lameduck... I’ve been saying that the time between this November and 2012 is gonna suck!
I am owning up that I have not read all the way through yet, but I just had a most troubling thought....
The way the establishment is howling like a mad cat is truly incredible. It is as if they do not care any more just how obvious their determination for self preservation is... So just how badly do they want to stay in power? How badly do they want to keep conservatives OUT of D.C.?
Bad enough to work to put more Dem’s in? It certainly seems so : /
May God help us defeat ALL of our enemies.
Tatt
I said I was “playing”... ‘-)
Fine. But it’s rude.
the precedent has been established to vote w/o reading or discussing any of it, and they are sure to feel the need to git-r-done before theyre put out of their chairs...and my REEEEALlY cynical side says they WANT to shove it down our throats, exactely in this manner, in *hope* of starting a physical removal of em, then the statists can squash the chaos by remaining at the helm until its all under control...which they think could be life...
funny thing is, 'life' aint forever in human terms...
I was one of the last to cast my vote in our precinct last night, and the total of voters was at 481, after mine. I think in the last General Election, there were over 1200 votes cast. When I gave my address and name, the woman at the table asked if I wanted Republican or Democrat. When I said Republican, she said that’s who they’d had the most request for, during the day.
I guess it all depends on if he can convince the new folks to vote for him. But they SHOULD have a "come to Jesus" meeting with him, to assure him that IF they vote for him, he'd better follow though with conservative ideas, or they will toss his fanny out of that Speaker's seat in a New York minute.
