In case anyone was wondering, or cares: I am not a Republican nor a Democrat. I don’t like either party. Never have. I am an independent. I don’t like the Democrats because they are statists. They are for big government and more taxes. They are also for mob rule. They want a democratic society, not a Republic. That is a disastrous recipe. Big government always leads to tyranny, democracy lacks the limited government structure of a Republic, which makes it harder for corruption to prevail. Democrats seem to love corruption. They wallow in it like pigs in their own dung. That’s why they seek to undermine our limited-government constitution at every point. You can go back to Tammany Hall right up to today to see their disregard for the rule of law. Rangel and Waters were merely caught. They are far from outliers. I dislike the Republicans because they don’t practice what they preach. They’re supposed to be the party of smaller government and lower taxes. But they are just like ’70s Democrats now. Aside from the Bush tax cuts, they’ve expanded government and spending to obscene levels. When the Democrats came into power they just made the Republicans look conservative by contrast. Less terrible is still terrible. The Republicans share the blame for our debt. But what I really dislike about Republicans is how elitist they are. They cherry pick their primary candidates before the people can choose. They ram their picks through. The public is given a token choice, but the party rigs the results. A great example was the primary race this week. Delaware says it all. Mike Castle was a weak RINO who, along with 23 other Republicans, voted to refer Dennis Kucinich’s motion to impeach George W. Bush to the judiciary committee in 2008. That move right there should be a clue he was a terrible pick to fight the Democrats. But the GOP put their money on him and they ran an incredibly vicious campaign against the tea party candidate, Christine O’Donnell. They ran all kinds of negative ads against her and robo-calls up to the last minute — but she clobbered Castle by eight points. They tried to rig the results but the public is wise to them now. The message from the voters is clear. No more status quo candidates. No more beltway bozos. The Republican National committee answered thusly: “We’re not going to give her any money. She can get the tea party to pay for her campaign.” NRSC Announces That It Will Not Support O'Donnell (You Tube) They just don’t get it. The anger out there is about taking the government back from the beltway creeps on either side of the aisle. Status quo candidates will get kicked to the curb. The GOP had better get a clue that voters want government spending and size cut or they will get the chop next. This is not a joke. The beltway bozos, who thought being like the Democrats was the way to win elections, are going to find out the hard way they were wrong. Already the Democrats are saying the Tea Party is moving the GOP too far to the right. Here is the Dems’ latest blather: “Today the Republican Party has shown just how far right it has moved,” DNC Chairman Tim Kaine said in a written statement. “While Americans in Delaware and across the country are eager for both parties to work together toward solutions that move America forward, Delaware’s Tea Party Republicans have nominated a self-aggrandizing and divisive candidate who seeks to tear down the progress we’ve made to recover from failed Republican economic policies that took us to the brink of economic collapse.” But privately they are quaking in fear, shivering in their booties. They know 2010 is over for them. Their only hope is to keep trying to make the tea party into a fringe movement. Their media lackies have been doing that for the last year and a half. It’s a tactic that is failing miserably. Now that the GOP is finding their chosen are getting mowed down, they may join the Dems and the press in trying to hurt the tea party. But they will do that at their peril. The public has had enough. We’re almost at the point of busting into the Bastille. The voters are sending a message to Washington that business as usual is over. For the last year and a half Democrats have been telling the voters they don’t care what they want. Now the voters are showing them the door. If the Republicans don’t wake up, they’ll be joining the Dems out in the cold. 2010 is a year of reckoning.

post of the day!
i will admit that i do want to see how the "tea party" candidates govern once in. i hope there are many to watch. at this point, i'd even cheer wins of democrats who are able to unseat the old timers.
I take it that John McCain would be at the top of that list to be unseat.
for sure
we are? knock me over with a voting machine.eric stratton has it right,the pubics in charge will allow upstarts in,just to placate the gullible.the tea party started out on the right foot,and within weeks of becoming a thread of hope,our zionists pubics jumped in with their media and cut the thread and the tea party fell into the republican party....now watch in awe as the media tells we the gullible that republicans are who we want..yes,its time for change! we vote republican! vote republican!
imagine my shock...my wife was logged in on my computer.
In my political life I haven't seen 8? entrenched, elite, Washington insiders kicked to the curb by younger, more conservative members of their own party. The newcomers are far from my idea of perfect, but they're better than those they are replacing. Maybe others recall such a time when incumbents were primaried out of office like this? Since 3rd parties cant win nationally, a series of these reform-type primaries/elections is the last, best political hope we have, IMO. I'm wide open a better political solution if anyone has one.

The rub in your opinion is that while we all live, work, and interact in this "terminal cancer" *some* political group of people in power will be taxing, watching, snooping, and stealing from us. Are you OK with the Kenyan without papers, or would someone else be less virulent? I say anyone would be better. That's the reality of the system as it exists today. IMO, if I can help dump a radical black Marxist to the curb, I'll have done all I can.

It's impossible to compare 18 months of the Illegal to 8-years of Bush. I will say the Kenyan has managed to spend app. 3x more deficit money already than Bush did during his tenure. Not to mention nearly doubling the number of unemployed in the nation. Perhaps if we feed the black swine another trillion or so for some more "shovel ready jobs" things will improve? When pushed into the corner the Kenyan now says the stimulus wasn't big enough. And he's worse than Bush? No, the Dark One is the clear winner, whether it's the economy or undeclared wars (we're now bombing Pakistan in addition to Afghanistan).
OBAMA ENDORSES GLOBAL TAXES ON EVE OF U.N. SUMMIT In a classic case of misdirection, while the media are preoccupied with the fate of the Bush tax cuts, President Obama is preparing to attend a United Nations summit next week to endorse “innovative finance mechanisms”—global taxes—to drain even more wealth out of the U.S. economy. A draft “outcome document” produced in advance of the September 20-22 U.N. Summit on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) commits the nations of the world to supporting “innovative financing mechanisms” to supplement foreign aid spending. The term “innovative financing mechanisms” is a U.N. euphemism for global taxes. But the document actually goes further, praising the “Task Force on International Financial Transactions for Development” for its work on the subject of mobilizing additional “resources” for countries to achieve the MDGs. This is a body tasked with proposing and implementing global tax schemes. “We consider,” the document says, “that innovative financing mechanisms can make a positive contribution in assisting developing countries to mobilize additional resources for financing for development on a voluntary basis. Such financing should supplement and not be a substitute for traditional sources of financing.” In other words, the revenue from global taxes should be in addition to foreign aid spending. The document recognized the “considerable progress” made in this area, an acknowledgement that an international tax by some nations on airline tickets is already in effect and producing several billions of dollars of revenue for world organizations to fight AIDS and other diseases. In an article in The Christian Science Monitor, under the headline, “Small global taxes would make a big difference for world’s ‘bottom billion,’” the foreign minister of France and other officials of foreign nations endorse various forms of “innovative development financing.” One of their proposals is a tax on international currency transactions that could generate $35 billion a year. The proposal, popular at the United Nations for decades and long-advocated by Fidel Castro, is called the Tobin Tax and named after Yale University economist James Tobin. Steven Solomon, a former staff reporter at Forbes, said in his book, The Confidence Game, that such a proposal “might net some $13 trillion a year…” because it is based on taking a percentage of money from the trillions of dollars exchanged daily in global financial markets. He is referring to the fact that once such a tax is in place, it could be easily raised to bring in hundreds of billions of dollars or more a year to the U.N. and other global institutions. Such financial transactions through banks and other financial institutions are commonplace on behalf of Americans who have stock in mutual funds or companies that invest or operate overseas. Hence, such a global tax could affect the stocks, mutual funds, and pensions of ordinary Americans. The term “small global taxes” brought a stunned reaction from Senator David Vitter, when he was told of what is being proposed in advance of the U.N. summit. Vitter introduced Senate resolution 461, “Expressing the sense of the Senate that Congress should reject any proposal for the creation of a system of global taxation and regulation,” to put the Senate on record against any such measure. He has vowed to maintain pressure on the world body to avoid implementing any of these schemes and thinks that the Congress has to use whatever financial leverage it has to frustrate U.N. demands for more power and authority in world affairs. The Vitter resolution was sent to the liberal-controlled Senate Finance Committee, which declined to act on it. Obama has been a major U.N. supporter since he was in the Senate and sponsored a bill, the Global Poverty Act (S 2433), to force U.S. compliance with the MDGs. Joseph Biden, then chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, tried to get it passed into law but ultimately failed. As President, Obama is in a position to actively promote global taxation measures and clearly has done so. The “outcome document” his administration has already endorsed will be formally approved at next week’s summit. The document affirms the so-called “Monterrey Consensus” that committed nations to spending 0.7 percent of Gross National Product (GNP) on official development assistance (ODA), otherwise known as foreign aid. It says that “The fulfillment of all ODA commitments is crucial, including the commitments by many developed countries to achieve the target of 0.7 percent of gross national product (GNP) for ODA to developing countries by 2015…” Over a 13-year period, from 2002, when the U.N.’s Financing for Development conference was held, to the target year of 2015, when the U.S. is expected to meet the Millennium Development Goals, this amounts to $845 billion from the U.S. alone, according to Jeffrey Sachs of the U.N.’s Millennium Project. “We have fully embraced the Millennium Development Goals,” Obama told the U.N. in 2009.

Any discussion of the Obama presidency should begin with the simple premise, "Where was he born." Nobody can answer that, except for his aunt (in Kenya) and one or two others who concur. The closest Obama should be to OUR White House, Constitutionally, is the nearest shoe shine stand.

hey, how did you do that flashing EVERYTHING?
and you'll miss it.
I would like to direct this to the distinguished members of the panel: You lousy cork-soakers. You have violated my farging rights. Dis somanumbatching country was founded so that the liberties of common patriotic citizens like me could not be taken away by a bunch of fargin iceholes... like yourselves. - Roman Moroni

there's no such thing as a happy ending for everyone, but the revolt for liberty (hopefully one without massive bloodshed first) has to begin somewhere, doesn't it?
The GOP under Bush
was a group of political cross dressers (neocons - former Ds converted to Rs
for electable purposes) and sans any core values regarding smaller government.
Over the course of time, these are our targets. You tell me who among the
current 8 Rs who challenged and beat establishment candidates recently espouse
less liberty and larger government? They are the political backlash to Bush
and the Illegal Interloper, and to the entrenched Washington establishment.
Did you you catch Rove's reaction to O'Donnell's deposing of Castle in
Delaware Tuesday? Bush's Brain wasn't happy. You tell me why ridding DC of
Mike Castle, Arlen Spector, Bob Bennett, et al isn't a good thing? Now, if
your position is why wait for the inevitable collapse, please tell us who our
leaders will be should this coup occur, or are we all to just become an army
of one? While I wait for the collapse, I will gladly back off from the side of
the cliff, step by step, accepting reduced taxes and a numerically smaller
amount of black nationalists and Marxists as our politicians.

Since Eisenhower warned the nation in 1960 about the
MIC, nobody has done anything to shrink it. Yet you expect these 8 recent
nominees to make this the cornerstone of their campaign? Given people are
jobless, homeless and under active invasion from 3rd world Inferiors, you tell
me how the "lets dismantle the MIC, NOW!" bumper sticker will inspire a
nation? In order to bite the juggler vein of the MIC we first need to open the
windows of the WH, air out the place and take the Bob Marley posters off the
walls. Not until entrenched pols of both parties are removed will that happen,
so please, don't try and pigeon hole me as an R, I said both parties. I'm
neither an R nor D and I trust you'll take me at my word. Ron Paul you say?
I hate to break this to you, but this tea party was his save for one thing.
He's a quitter. He had it all two years ago and today he's pushing for
a bill to audit Ft. Knox. The O'Donnell kid in Delaware just did us a bigger
favor than RP will with yet another absurd Bill to Nowhere. Nobody sane
suggests that an American political rebirth will be a one, two or three
election affair. Pragmatically, a movement must drive a party thereby
effecting change. After ten years of not voting, and not having voted for an R
since '88, my political odyssey brings me to Obama whose radical Marxist
politics are far, far worse than I imagined things could become. The man is an
ILLEGAL ALIEN, if that isn't reason enough to vote for gridlock, nothing else
you said is worth a tinkers damn. As your solution seems to be nothing, I'll
be helping to change out the old, the crippled and affirmed who have made DC
their home and honey pot for decades. Should this effort fail, let me know
when the shooting begins, and who among us is leading the charge.
Jethro... We both know, the solution will come when the blood runs, then and only then.
No doubt, but until our leaderless army assembles, I'm voting for gridlock & against Pelosi, Obama and Reid.
Not to fear, when I take over the world and become King, everything will be much better. As long as a have cigars and hundreds of gurls, I'll be satisfied.
"Society is, always has been and always will be a structure for the exploitation and oppression of the majority through systems of political force dictated by an élite, enforced by thugs, uniformed or not, and upheld by a willful ignorance and stupidity on the part of the very majority whom the system oppresses." -- Richard K. Morgan
The cigars, you may have all of them, the gurls I get first pick.

ES, they simply won't get elected if their major issue is one that isn't simple enough for a large majority to understand. The MIC, the Fed, I agree are killers, but they aren't kitchen table issues. If this new breed is to be elected, they have to stress the issues of the day; jobs, jobs, political corruption, & jobs. If they do gain power and they're serious about balancing a budget, the MIC will hit them in the face. Then, if they want to hold on to power, they have to listen to the majority of the American people and disengage from these wars ASAP. It's apparent the Obama Ds aren't going to quit them nor are the Old Guard Rs, so it's past time for them to leave. If Obama is so arrogant as to refuse to show us a simple birth certificate, he's unfit for office. To those that defend his decision to use the court system against the American people, they also need to be defeated. He can't be tossed come November, but he can be weakened with gridlock. And if both parties are but opposite sides of the same coin, where is the harm?
Both Bush and the Illegal can
fit the mold of fascist/Marxist/Zionist, but only one is an interloper without
papers, unfit Constitutionally to be president. Never mind the ugly streak of
Black Nationalism that was his embryonic fluid. It was his color that elected
him and saved him from friendships with the likes of Franklin Davis, Jeremiah
Wright & the last
remnant of the Weather Underground. In electing Obama America hit a new all
time low.

Well said. Mike Castle's political life dies and I'm insane. Nudge me when you're ready to 'take back the nation' by a yet unstated method. It's a shame such enormous balls are separated by Internet bravado and a screen name. Adios whoever you are.

To think that there's a happy ending here is foolish. The happiest ending would probably be out Government and nation going so damn broke that half (if not more) of the FedGov (and state and locals) lose their jobs, agencies close while others downsize massively, and we essentially reset w/o the Federal Reserve privately held banking cabal, but, and here's the kicker, have the liberty to do so.
