It’s December. One election down, but a lot of work and a watershed election coming. So the question is: what are we, collectively and individually, going to do? Actually do. Have you thought about how much time you will devote to specific tasks, and how you will measure results? I have not. The other day [...]
No surprise there--the Senate is still controlled by Democrats pretending that recent election didn't happen. Eight Republicans voted against the ban as well, which also isn't surprising, considering the Republican Party is still populated with many Big Government believers who have no qualms about purchasing votes at taxpayer expense. Fortunately, the Republicans in the House DID vote to [...]
It seems the more the TEA Party movement grows, the more America likes us. According to a new Rasmussen poll, 79% of likely GOP primary voters like us TEA Party Patriots. Let's break this down. "Likely" means this person intends to vote; he or she is not just a registered voter, but an active voter. [...]
On biggovernment.com, our own Jamie Radtke said this: Republicans cannot afford to play politics at the margins, focus more on maintaining their power rather than changing Washington, or return us to the business-as-usual approach of “plodding along.” It isn’t often that one can claim to speak for the entire tea party movement without swift rebuke, [...]
Dammit! In 2008, citizens yearned for government to change its corrupt ways. Obama exploited that sentiment and rode it to the presidency. In the midterm elections, voters rejected Obama’s policies and showed that they yearn for change more than ever. Like Obama two years ago, senate Republicans this year promised they would fight for change. [...]
It depends who you ask. If you ask the GOP leadership, "we're all the Tea Party..." Read about it here. To excerpt: House Republican leader John Boehner says: "There really is no difference between what Republicans believe in and what the Tea Party activists believe in." Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele says: "If I [...]
Top Ten Reasons Why Congress Hates the Tea Party & Patriot groups (and why you should register for the Oct. 8-9 Virginia Tea Party Patriots Convention at www.vateapartyconvention.com): 10. Most Tea Party & Patriot group supporters actually work for a living, and it’s human nature not to like people who are so very different from [...]
I bring you two excerpts that make me wonder if Republicans – who were clobbered in 2006 and 2008 for their big government policies – have learned anything from their defeat. First, an article from The News Virginian discusses the possibility of the Tea Party being absorbed by the Republican Party in order to stay [...]
From Wiki: In Greek mythology, the Sirens were three dangerous bird-women, portrayed as seductresses who lured nearby sailors with their enchanting music and voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast of their island. Of course, we know that the myths are stories with a message for life; in many cases, they are warnings. The [...]
This guy is the face of Congress: When he indignantly asks "Who are YOU??", he's not just talking to that kid. He is representing ALL of Congress (both parties) asking YOU: Who are YOU to challenge us? Who are YOU to think you know what's good for you? Who are YOU to think you are [...]
I should have included this link in my post two days ago about repeal, because it might have headed off a response challenging the validity of my assertion that the public supports repeal of the health care legislation. (That’ll teach me to rush through my posts when my 4-year-old is clamoring to play Wii with [...]
Not that this is surprise, but Republicans aren’t supporting total repeal of the health care legislation that will (by design) ultimately morph into a single payer government health care system, giving them more direct control over our lives than ever. The public overwhelmingly supports repeal, providing Republicans a clear issue to run and win huge on [...]
