Sgt. Schultz Before Congressional Committee!

2012-02-02T18:15:00.002-05:00

O.K., so it is actually Eric, "I Know Nothing!", Holder who appeared.....and of course after he did his best imitation of testifying!

And, this will surprise you, when the committee got really serious, he screamed..... "Politics!!!"

Smirk!

AG Holder looking at OBSTRUCTION Charge from Issa...

How much of this is true????

2012-01-31T16:43:00.002-05:00

This leaves us all in a land of DEM/GOP control and ever-increasing spending leading to a default and then denial by both that they were involved!

Tea Party Media Coverage Less-Than-Truthful!

2012-01-31T11:05:00.003-05:00

The above is, of course, no surprise to any in the know. (Note: I am an active Tea Party supporter!)

When the Tea Party started the media ignored it

They grudgingly covered it as rabble-protest by limited groups of folks. They compared it to other types of gatherings.....all the while ignoring the fact the Tea Party protests were non-violent, and they always left their meeting/rally places clean and undamaged (check some occupy footage of their filth and deprivation).

Now the new media battle cry is.....the Tea Party is dead.

I suspect the media and liberals....and even the GOP regulars...are VASTLY missing the Tea Party folk and their dedication to ideals!

The Transparent DEM comments on Mitt/Newt/et al...

2012-01-23T19:03:00.002-05:00

The DEM "spinners"....including most-obviously the sharp-tongued, moustachioed purveyor of pure DEM spin....(Come on you can name him!)....are utilizing their obfuscation to the nth degree to try to shape PrezBO's opponent.

Most of their drivel has been fairly harmless. They spin Romney as the "certain" winner....mostly because they wish to have him as "Obama-Lite" for the Chosen One's opponent.

A loud, challenging, knowledgeable fellow like Newt is instantly trashed. Behind the scenes these DEM operatives are silently working to find something that will transform "Mr. TelePrompter" into a person who can actually debate against a live person who will unveil the daggers.

I predict that if Newt wins, and faces Obama there will be a temper tantrum or two by the PrezBO before it is all over. Newt will find the soft spot and attack.

I eagerly anticipate it!

Duke

p.s. I voted in Florida today for Newt!

Yeah, and you would come up with it given a few minutes....

I hereby officially thank PrezBO for this....I do, however find that the man with the ego big enough to feel he can deliver an Olympics just by his presence, is rather silent about this growing portion of the economy.

Ha!

Sen. Reid Howling At The Moon!

2012-01-15T13:58:00.002-05:00

Ah yes, Mr. Reid, this qualifies as a real howler...IN EVERY WAY!

I just love your knowledge and cooperation, sir. Say for instance the 27 Bills now laying on your desk...all passed by the house...and none of which you will allow to come up for consideration in your Senate Mr. Speaker. If cooperation and "getting along" is so high with you DEMs, then I suggest you actually consider some of the pending legislation instead of taking to the stump with such drivel.

Then there is the matter of a budget....You remember those, they used to be an event dealt with by Congress. Well, until you took charge.

If not for the fact you have effectively worked with this President to halt the economy of this country, it would truly be a laugh.

Marco Rubio, along with Rep West & our own Pam Bondi, provides the light for Florida's GOP future.

Rubio, wishing to advance slowly, has so-far refused speculation about President. That, however, does not mean he is not staying on top of just how bereft of good judgement our current President has been/continues to be!

Funny how the national Lame Stream Media continues on its way, not wishing to ask Obama anything to which he has not already provided them the answer.

Were YOU Paying Attention in 2008?

2012-01-05T09:59:00.002-05:00

"So who died and appointed you President?"......Often heard phrase in real life.

Obama gave the signs, as did his people, that his "RULE" was about to begin!

Of course, it is wise to also remember that my opening phrase is more usually stated as;

"So who died and appointed you GOD?"

Keep your eyes open folks....I suspect this clown is going to act as if he will not be re-elected, and govern (rule?) accordingly.

Why is it there are 12 Demo"Rats" leaving office.....voluntarily? All in the House. Well, maybe it is all about The rats leaving a sinking ship!

Couple that abandonment of office with 23 at-risk Senators for the Dems, and less than half as many GOPs, and you get the picture of deer-in-the-headlights thinking now entrenched in the DEMs minds. Senator Nelson leaving office, in recognition of his total sell-out on Obamacare recognized by his own state voters, and you see the current most-obvious example of what is in today's Congressional picture for the 2012 elections.

So.....which is it Dear President? Are we going to take the terrorist (proven many times) out? Or, are we going to protect his people and ignore the terrorists (the 800 lb. gorilla in the room!)....?

I am completely sure, at this point, and in light of the many previous stupendous decisions by PrezBO, that HE has NOT A CLUE! He is just doing his usual blathering public pronouncements. They mean nothing, and 5 minutes later he might reverse field completely.

This President has not a clue; he avoids decisions, and when he makes them (usually way beyond the "recall date")....They are then usually wrong! Hope and Change will land today/tomorrow/forever! But it will land with a THUD as it is tone deaf to the rest of the world....well, except for the small circle of his followers who will applaud, despite knowing there is NO SUBSTANCE.....NO FACTS INVOLVED!

We have to keep this idiot until 2011 (NOV.) when we can issue an official recall.....Then he will still attempt to implement his idiocy via legislation until he actually leaves office.

Sad Man....sad us....WE elected this vacuous man! Well, i didn't, but the majority did.

Boo Hoo! - Refocus Things/Avoid The Issue

2011-03-10T12:28:00.003-05:00

Rep. King is today leading hearings into the increasing radicalization of Muslims in the USA.... an occurrence which is repeating time-after-time.

In response, Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn. (Hint: He is the ONLY Muslim member of Congress!) Told the story of a Muslim who was involved in saving lives in the 9/11 disaster. (RE-FOCUS: Drive away the true story!....SOB!) Ellison is much the same as the C.A.I.R. officials, representing an organization which was an un-indited co-conspirator in the case of folks later convicted of conspiring to do harm to the USA. They lean toward making any form of communication a road block to actual looks at Muslim radicalization.....EXACTLY what King is addressing!

The only way the radicalization of Muslims in this country will be addressed is by solid, awake citizens recognizing the problem and avoiding the Liberals call for PC in all situations.

If it quacks like a duck, and walks like a duck....etc.

Damn these folks make life hard!

"Political Fear" Keeps Muslims From Talking!

2011-03-10T11:27:00.003-05:00

If ever there was a need for the hearings Rep. King is holding today, this may be the crowning reason......The Muslims will not testify/speak out is because of violent Muslims????

DUH!!!

Thank you for EXPLAINING THE PROBLEM!!!

This would be a cartoon, except for the Democrats still calling King "Racist" because of his hearings. You do realize the word "Racist" from a Democrat indicates the DEM has no further argument, and must resort to the tired, out-dated, meaningless word.

The hearings are MANDATORY if we are to leave the world of PC and begin to actually address the problem of radical Muslims, you know, the ones actually doing the terrorist acts!

If the Tea Party, my friends, does not seize this as a moment of complete failure by the two parties to adjust to the fact of the 2010 vote, then they are DOOMED! BUT, the Tea Party knows the "Old guard" is still in control....well, til we vote in 2012.

Now, in the face of insignificant cuts by the GOP as well as the DEMs, the Tea Party must either fold its tent and go home, OR, take action to insure 2012 is a repeat of 2010 with old-line pols dropping like flies! The early announcements are GOOD....MANY pols are deciding the time is right to retire......HUMMMMMMMM...Wonder why these folks of the "Elect me and I'll provide for you forever" class are suddenly, "Tired", "ready to be with family", etc.

One commentator on FOX compared the GOP cuts to less than $.50 of an estimated $10 debt increase this year. The DEM offerings of 6-10 Billion in cuts is PATHETIC!

What the hell are the GOP leaders thinking???? Have they not heard the drum beat? Do they believe the Tea Party was just trying to get GOP folks elected? They are numb to the fact of Tea Party goals. OR They are just too dumb to believe the Tea Party will be there in 2012.

I guarantee we will BE THERE! If you have not demonstrated a drive to cut spending, and to bring the budget into balance, you will be OPPOSED! It is simple......

I am a sort-of Libertarian/Conservative.....I am also Tea Party. I am amazed at Romney for two reasons. 1. He is diving into the GOP Prez pool as if he had a solid background and support of millions. NOPE! 2. He is hiding from the truth of his MA healthcare fiasco.

He launched an "ObamaCare" in Massachusetts. It is failing. He cannot avoid this, and do not for a minute believe the DEMs will not tie him to this as an example that he is NO DIFFERENT than Obama!

I am amazed GOP folk actually consider him a major candidate. INSTANT DEATH!

The Liberal/Anti-Conservative branch of the broadcast networks have been "De-Funded" by the GOP House. The GOP, tired of having a taxpayer-funded PR system for the Liberals and Democrats, have struck a much-needed blow for freedom and the rights of all.

The GOP, to me, has so-far flunked the test. They are spouting some fine rhetoric, but my confidence in Boehner as a leader is diminishing!....RAPIDLY!

Tea Party folks have NOT LEFT THE BUILDING.....despite the wishes of the "gentry" in the Washington GOP.

My Message to the GOP Leadership.....BE VERY AFRAID!!!!! You are not safe, and you are not embraced. The sad part is, despite the 2010 vote, you STILL do not see it coming.

Unionization! - Death Knell!

2011-02-10T19:10:00.002-05:00

From Louis Woodhill

"The purpose of a union is to extract from its employer more than the market wage. If it doesn't do this, then there is no reason for workers to support it or to pay dues to it. Because companies must sell their output at market prices and pay market returns for the capital that they employ, they cannot afford to pay more than "market" for any major input. Accordingly, any unionized company for which labor is a significant part of its cost structure will eventually be destroyed.

Today's executives know that unionization is the "kiss of death" for their companies. They have no choice other than to resist unionization where possible and to disinvest and flee (whether to Texas or to China) if it occurs. If they don't, they will lose their customers to lower cost producers."

Now Government unionization is paramount! It is the Golden Nugget for the unions.

"In 2010, the number of union-represented employees government employees (7.6 million) surpassed the number of unionized workers in the private sector (7.1 million) for the first time. Since it's peak about 55 years ago, private-sector unionization has declined by almost 80% (from 33.9% to 6.9%), while public-sector unionization has almost tripled, from 9.8% to 36.2%.

Early union leaders thought that it made no sense to try to unionize government, because government had no profits in which labor could share. However, for more than 40 years, the union movement has understood that its survival depends upon enlisting government coercion in its cause. The labor movement has focused its efforts on organizing government employees, and unions have allocated an ever-increasing amount of their members' dues to political activities. Union money goes almost exclusively to Democrats, because the Democrats are the party of government, and the survival of unions now clearly depends upon government."

Message From Obama to The Dumb Masses!

2011-02-10T12:24:00.002-05:00

Janet Napolitano is now ranting upon terrorists and their potential destructive efforts. WHY???

For most of the 1st 2 years of the Obama Dynasty we heard nothing about terrorists...they did not exist.

OH WAIT!!!!! It is time to ignite CAMPAIGN 2012.....Move to the MIDDLE, play to the folks who know there is a terrorist threat....play to the middle folks in general....PROVE he is middle road... and oh by the way, ignore the ObamaCare debacle, and the PUBLIC purchase of GM (Government Motors)....and all those other Socialist/Marxist efforts. They do not exist......

DEMs - 0, GOP 1,000........

2011-02-03T14:12:00.003-05:00

The Democrats have given full support to the position of supporting ObamaCare.....DESPITE the opinion of the public. They have stayed the party-line....they have ignored polls, ignored the people of this country who voted last November.

They still cling to the position that they are SMARTER, MORE AWARE, then their own constituents...They seem to feel the BOMB which was dropped by the electorate in November 2010 was somehow an anomaly!

Their suicide mission is going to cost them. The union of LIBS....Democrat folks in the Senate is about to go BOOM!

2012 will give the GOP control of BOTH houses of the legislature!

IF Obama survives, and that is certainly NOT decided.....though he possess the vote of the Left and the "entitled" masses.....He will face a Congress which will stop any future for the LIB Left of Obama.

DEMs Senators/Legislators.....AWAKE and read the tea leaves. YOU are going to lose. The question is how much will you lose. That perhaps is a question which the legislators themselves need to embrace!

Can Anyone See The Hypocrisy?

2011-02-03T12:34:00.002-05:00

1. PrezBO pushes, drives, forces his ObamaCare to pass....giving away the farm to numerous potential voters......He wins!

2. PrezBO now has issued more than 700 waivers to allow groups to avoid the ObamaCare demands......40% of which are UNIONS!

3. PrezBO supports a DEM vote stopping repeal. The DEMs, for whatever reason (possibly because they know they will lose the Senate in 2012?) vote unanimously to avoid repeal. ontrol fo the private sector

4. PrezBO announces that a vote of the Congress to stop the EPA from killing jobs and the future of many industries with their "Green" regulations will be met by his veto!

This is a man bent upon Socialization of the country; growing of government; and, taking all control of the private sector. He truly feels government is the answer.....

The facts tell us a different story. The MAJORITY of the citizens of the USA OPPOSE ObamaCare. They want cuts in spending. They want LESS government control. PrezBO and the DEMs operate on the damn the polls, full speed ahead theme. Then they will wonder why in 2012 they have their hat handed to them.....FULL control of Congress by the GOP/Tea Party and perhaps a new GOP/Tea Party Prez!

Mubarak is leaving....well, according to his pronouncement....BUT....what guarantee is there he will follow his own announcement? N-O-N-E....and he has, in the past, issued such statements and then relented/disavowed his statements.

I still feel this slimy 30-year despot, oft supported by the USA...despite his heinous crimes against the people of Egypt, will renege on his promise and force another despot down the throats of the people of Egypt. Obama is placing WAY TOO MUCH cred upon this fellow who has lied, lied, and lied......

I think the reaction of the Egyptian people will tell the tale, and they are already reacting with the "LEAVE NOW!" attitude.

We'll see.

"We Hear Your Voices!" - President Barack Obama

2011-02-01T19:49:00.003-05:00

The Prez has offered, after days and days of dithering, his assessment of the situation in Egypt. He now, after urging Mubarak to leave, feels that he has stated the right position for the US of A. It is a position born of NOTHING!

Mubarak has agreed to leave (ostensibly) and now the machine of government will lead to the election of a new Egyptian President in the fall.

I have concerns.

1. Is Mubarak going peacefully? OR, is he planning to have an operation through his VP, Suleiman, which is much like the Russian government control operated by the former President?

2. Is there any idea of where this is all going in Egypt? Is there the major chance that the radicals will find a way to take control? Will the Brotherhood prevail?

3. Does Obama and his administration have a clue? That is a scary question.

IF Mubarak plots to retain control, Russian style, will the citizenry hit the streets again? I believe so.

Strange times folks.

Tampa International Airport Runway Closed Due Shifting Magnetic Poles

2011-01-07T07:44:00.004-05:00

Picture Compliments of Tampa CVB

In an extremely unusual move the FAA has temporarily closed the primary runway at Tampa International Airport (TIA) due a shift in the Earth's magnetic poles.

FOXNews this morning covered the story. The closure was first announced by the FAA Thursday.

One smaller airport in downtown Tampa (Peter O. Knight Field) is also undergoing the change.

There was no explanation offered as to why the changes only impacted Tampa airports.

Of course it will only be a day or so before the enviro-nuts proclaim loudly that the changes are caused by Global Warming. (OOPS!....Climate Change)

PrezBO speaks out of both sides of his mouth....In 2006, on debt limit increases he was adamant!

"I rise today to talk about America’s debt problem.

The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies.

Of course, once he was in office.....actually once his party was in control.....debt limits were nothing to worry about.....as seen in this chart of his two years:

Obama Speaks With Forked Tongue!

2010-12-31T10:28:00.003-05:00

Mr. President! Please......We are on to you and your mouthing of phrases while doing exactly the opposite.

You call for bipartisanship and then as detailed by Charles Krauthammer, do everything unilaterally behind the scenes.

Charles, unfortunately, missed another BIG action by Obama's minions...The FCC power-grab over the internet. An action taken in the face of open and noted opposition to their doing so by the other two branches of government, the courts and Congress.

Krauthammer is, of course, correct in his premise. Obama will have to govern by secret or hidden action. The only answer to this is action by Congress and the courts to halt and rescind such actions. Limit the ability of these Executive-run sections of government by law. If this is not done now...as soon as these actions are taken then the other two branches of government are abdicating the balance-of-power installed by the founders of this country.

If there be a Congresscritter or a sitting Judge who feels this Chicago-bred politician will not do anything and all possible to take control of this country by the Executive then they need to be replaced.....NOW!

Why Not a New Space Launcher?

2010-12-24T22:13:00.002-05:00

We're launching aircraft with the new rail gun, WHY NOT A ROCKET?

If you read the above link...and are at all familiar with the theory of electromagnetic force used for the gun and the plane launches...then why not explore the possibility of a rail gun launch for new space craft to orbit? The force is there for the equivalent power to equal a 1st stage rocket's thrust. Thus the space vehicle needs hold MUCH less fuel and will be much, much lighter and, can fire rockets when the rail gun power reaches its max and continue on into orbit.

Seems promising to me....perhaps a rocket science person with much stronger technical skills than I possess can give it a go in calculation and report back.

ObamaCare....Not Gonna Work, But Debt Panel Punts!

2010-12-06T19:13:00.003-05:00

Why did the Obama Debt Panel choose to almost completely ignore the MASSIVE cost of ObamaCare in their consideration of ways to cut our debt/costs/et al?

Maybe they were not eager to challenge the newly-passed law.

Who knows, but it is a glaring omission from thier presented plan (which failed of course).

James Pethokoukis summarizes on Reuters......

"the biggest stumbling block remains healthcare, which accounts for three-quarters of the U.S. government’s long-term budget woes. A presentation from Medicare’s chief actuary persuaded many panel members that Obama’s recently-passed reform law does less than estimated to reduce future government outlays. Despite this and the legacy of successive administrations’ overgenerous commitments on health spending, the panel danced around the issue in its recommendations. Democrats in Congress have little desire to revisit the issue anytime soon. Republicans, on the other hand, want to make it a central issue of the 2012 White House campaign so that a positive electoral outcome, if they achieve one, would be a mandate for their plan — whatever it turns out to be. Though Obama’s commission provides useful direction, the endgame for healthcare spending could be more significant for America’s fiscal future"

Well, there it is. Will the GOP use this to their advantage to un-elect Obama and then revoke ObamaCare? I doubt it will be that decisive. They may perform major surgery on it, but the premise of Govt. in healthcare will stand. After all....the GOP cannot resist the siren call of P-O-W-E-R...for the Govt.

"Third party wanted....must stick to principles of reduce spending, reduce govt. involvement....etc."

Hope is dimming folks unless these newly-elected folk take charge and send the oldsters packing....a mighty tall order!

Tea Party vs GHW Bush....& His Wife

2010-11-23T14:14:00.003-05:00

This is, in my opinion, the crux of the 2012 vote for the GOP.

The 2010 election proved the fact that the Tea Party is R-E-A-L. Despite the attempts by the old media to prove otherwise, the Tea Party made HUGE inroads into the traditional election process and the traditional election results.

The DEMs were without any solid base, given they voted for everything the public opposed. The GOP, however, had given no real sign they were any different than the 1994 crowd who crowed loudly their plan and then did the opposite...spending and taxing...until the rooster came home to roost. This provided the 2006 conversion to a DEM Congress....followed by a 2008 vote of a DEM to the Presidency.

Now, in 2010, the question is....Will the Tea Party folks of 2010 be able to mount a new and effective campaign to give them mre leverage in 2012?

The Bushes.....in an interview.....said the best person available (minus JEB, the prodigal son) is Mitt Romney. They went, however, a step beyond. They via Barbara Bush, said Sarah Palin should stay home.

OOPS!

Ya know what.......I'll bet you this will be a crystallizing moment which will prove the old-line Bush projections are going to be buried under the Tea Party ideals!

Jeb will NEVER be President....NOR will Mitt!

Sarah may never be either, but the Bush condemnation is absurd. They will drive folks TO Palin.

BUT, There will be a Tea Party presence in the 2012 election.....one beyond the scope of what folks believe now.

The landscape is changing. The DEMs and the GOPs will be left scratching their collective heads. The worm has turned....PEOPLE are now in charge and the VOTERS will speak.

My Prediction.

N. Korea Invites Hostile Reaction!

2010-11-23T13:54:00.002-05:00

The N. Koreans shell a S. Korean village on an island long-disputed between the two.

The purpose? Perhaps "Dear Leader" needs to heighten the hostilities to keep his own troops in line? Remember the N. Koreans are bereft of food stuffs, and medical supplies and most everything else.

Perhaps "Dear Leader" is seeking to give his deprived troops incentive to keep their posts. After all, if the S. Koreans are attacking, his troops will be driven to defend.

The man is no dummy. He is as sly as any fox.

The next six months will signal what will occur for the N. Korean dictator, and his planned successor. The winter in N. Korean; without enough food and medicine, will be tough. Will the leader's posturing vis-a-vis the shelling ignite sufficient loyalty to see "Dear Leader" through without a revolt of his own troops who are starving?

"1) joined with open-borders progressives McCain and Kennedy to try to force shamnesty down our throats;

2) massively expanded the federal role in education;

3) championed the Medicare prescription drug entitlement using phony math;

4) kowtowed to the jihadi-enabling Saudis;

5) stocked DHS with incompetents and cronies;

6) pushed Hillarycare for housing;

7) enabled turncoat Arlen Specter;

8. nominated crony Harriet Myers to the Supreme Court;

9) pre-socialized the economy for Obama by embracing TARP, the auto bailouts, the AIG bailout, and in his own words:

“I’ve abandoned free-market principles to save the free-market system.”

The modern American media is still desperately clinging to the vestige of the prominence it once had in the nation’s political conversation. The people who used to dictate not only the subject matter, but the terms of the conversation as well, are now adjusting to being mere participants in that conversation. And the adjustment isn’t going well at all.

They’re mad that Sarah Palin is still here after spending two years trying to destroy her and her family. They are incensed that the Tea Party movement has not only survived but has become a dominant political force in a little more than a year.

They are especially seething that everyone in America didn’t fall in love with the “historic” president and that he’s about to suffer an embarrassment at the polls from a political movement they gleefully reported as being close to dead just twenty three months ago. So, like panicky children, they lash out.

Their feigned concern for the fate of the Republican party might have been something they could sell to a great number of Americans just ten short years ago. But on what planet is anyone in 2010 going to believe that Keith Olbermann gives a whit about what the Tea Party is doing to the GOP?

The extremism scale is a relative one. The extremist won in 2008. The people who are about to march to electoral triumph in response to that can only be seen as extreme when looked at from the far left — which is where most of the MSM goes to work every day."

Can I get an AMEN?

Think O'Donnell was bad for the DEMs.....

Wait til you see THIS!

There is a stampede in progress, and it may well eclipse the 1994 flood of GOP winners.....BUT of course, these winners will include many Tea Party folk, NOT endorsed by the GOP.

GOP....Be very, very careful. You may be replaced!

The DEMs have been allowed to spout their rhetoric for several years as the wussy GOP just thought they needed to be DEM-light.

The Tea Party is forcing the GOP to grow a pair.

If they do not, and the impact will possibly not be in 2010, but in 2012, the Tea Party will take over the GOP! It is THAT simple!

The 1994 GOP had the theme and the song. They then morphed into the team of spend-spend-spend, light DEMs. In 2006 they got their comeuppance...They lost Congress and the Senate (effectively), and in 2008 the total rout of the GOP was completed.

Bush, while a vigorous-defender of the US and its need to be attacking the Islamic terrorists, was a complete catastrophe in the spending department. He grew government and the budget. He fostered the fall of our economy (with HUGE support from the DEMs).

Now, we have a new theme...offered by the Tea Party. It will prevail in some elections this November.....It will fail in others. BUT, it will leave a deep, bright red, mark on the GOP. One which will produce MUCH more fruit in 2012. That could include the Obama scalp!

Go Tea Party....purify our idiots in the GOP "establishment"....make them inconsequential!

Love it.....

The election of Christine O'Donnell last evening over the "anointed one" Mike Castle, was an awakening to the GOP. OLD POLITICS ARE OUT!

However they chose to take it as some sort of wreck for the party. "Someone does not go along with the old-line party ideals?????"

R-I-G-H-T!!!!

You got it Toyota!

The old is GONE....the new is IN......

But the GOP mainstream old-line folks just reverted to the standard "You are dooming us!"

Grow a reasoning folks....The times they are a changing!

Ah Pogo, what a sharp fellow you were.

Unfortunately the GOP seems oblivious to this fact...even as they castigate their own. Last night no sooner had Christine O'Donnell been named winner in the DE GOP primary than no less than the RNSC (Republican National Stupid Committee...lol) announced that they would NOT fund this GOP candidate, but also the formerly thought-of bright guy Carl Rove went on a major rant against the candidate and in favor of her opponent, Rep. Mike (I never saw a Democrat idea I didn't like) Castle all on the Hannity show on FOX.

The reaction has been swift and L-O-U-D!

Michelle Malkin weighs in and mentions Castle is another Murkowski as he refuses to back O'Donnell!

At Hot Air Ed Morrissey goes a lot further, gathering additional comments on the GOP idiocy!

I believe, firmly, that even if the Tea Party winners cost the GOP a few seats in the Senate and/or House....the GOP traditionalist group which is whining and crying about like a DEM loser on steroids will cost the GOP long-term much more. In 2012 these childish reactions and "take my bat and go home" attitudes will cost the GOP. Wholesale ousting of these limpid excuses for leaders of the Grand Old Party could well be in the offing!

WAKE UP GOP!.....smell the T-E-A (and perhaps more importantly, the ideas behind the TEA!).

Current hurricane paths...delivery of new white pages...a school library story...last night's Rays baseball score...couple married 62 years die same day!

What do these items have in common? They comprised this morning's front page for the Tampa Tribune. No mention of the elections yesterday. No winners; no losers.

Oh wait, there is the story about the HUGE defeat of traditional moderate Republican Mike Castle (voted for cap and tax...er trade) by a Tea Party candidate, Christine O'Donnell......ON PAGE 11! Nothing to see here folks.....just move along.

Jeez!

Boehner Crumbles....Before The Challenge!

2010-09-13T21:32:00.002-04:00

"I surrender....I'll go along....I'll accept mediocrity....."

John Boehner is now a pawn. He was attacked by the WH because they expect him to be the leader headed toward the Speaker's post in the House. He all-but-surrendered when he accepted the fact of dropping the Bush tax cuts on high income folks (if necessary)......

OF COURSE it will be necessary, given his cavalier approach to surrender. When the GOP gains control of the House in November, they had better weigh long and hard the possibility of this idiot being their House Speaker. He is NOT worthy!

The Conversation Is Not On POINT!

2010-09-13T14:51:00.003-04:00

The primary discourse by the media/Dems/GOPers has been upon the future makeup of Congress/Senate after the 2010 mid-term elections.

That misses the major point of the actual public vote. There is a HUGE shift toward the Tea Party... That is the folks who are up-in-arms about the entire political arena....not just DEMs, but also GOPers.

The new point is the elections which have indicated the Tea Party (Conservatives/Libertarians) have begun to exert HUGE pressure upon the GOP.

There is a new dawn arising.....one fraught with dissatisfaction among ALL voters....and one spurred mostly by a complete and utter upset with the Obama-ites, and their ignorance of public preference.....as well as the fact that the GOP has in deed abandoned their conservative roots.

Sad but true, we now face a future of change which will eventually, I predict, drop the GOP into the pit of irrelevance and produce a NEW Tea Party bent upon change to the colossus which is the political picture today!

Welcome my friends!
