Obama cant be anymore intellectually dishonest. A few dozen paid activists on his side and 5000 unpaid activists opposing him. How utterly pathetic our President is, yup like Obama said the American people want this. How could one not be disgusted!

I heard on Wall Street Journal (radio) this morning the GOP
is paying for billboards to be put up in some congressmen's
districts about healthcare…They used Palmeroy from North
Dakota as an example….Not defending the GOP, but I think
they may be getting mixed messages….Some of us say we
don't want them, and other's say we do…I know I get confused
at times….Are we better off having them be affiliated with us or
not….What do you think???

The GOP needs a wake up call ! They just received it in MO. They better be listening or be deemed irrelevant.

Where was the lame stream media to cover the 5000 patriots? Hmm, I guess they're still too busy kissing the annointed ones's @$$! Pathetic, dishonet lame stream media. You are an embarrasment to this country and your profession. The likes of shultz, mathews, olbermann, madcow and the rest of the msnbc will see the light one day when their numbers dwindle below the obummer paid organizers!

Macnvettes,
Agreed.

Clearly "We the people" are crying out for real leadership and finding none.

Not a fan of the GOP leadership either, but I am opposed to a 3rd party at this time. If conservatives can't win the GOP, can we win the nation at large? Just paves the way for Progressives.
We were too silent when the GOP went away from conservatism; it didn't happen overnight. It will take more than one election cycle to get back to it

I'm so frustrated I could SCREAM….Americans are BEGGING for a strong, conservative leader and the RNC has its head up its ana1 orifice. What does it take to get a modern day version Reagan Republican?

It took a Carter to get a Reagan….Will it take an Obama to get a Palin?

David I agree with all you said….We do have a handful in the GOP that
are speaking out and are conservative…I really like Michelle Bachmann
and Jeff Sessions. Jim Demint, Paul Ryan….I just wish more would speak
up and do the "right" thing…….

What a picture
All of those broken windows and the burning cars, and did I see some pointy white hats in the back round? oh I'm pretty sure. How many arrests? must have been hundreds,clearly an evil crowd just look at their faces.

Yeah not really!
If a real American protests do they make a sound?
We have a lot of work to do to take back America, Scott Brown's election stopped them for what three weeks?
I'm looking forward to the elections but if the GOP wins big that would only take us to equal sides, R and D.
How much time do we have?

I agree…A third party would be an OPEN door for Obumble to just walk
in again….In Nevada they have a 3rd party candidate…I hope this
won't give Harry a better chance to win his seat back, but I think it will…
and that would be tragic………

Senator Paul Ryan is looking like an excellent potential. He could whip Maobama's tush in a debate. And he honestly appears to be a true fiscal conservative.

I don't know why, I like Romney but he doesn't seem to get me fired up. And Huckabee? Nice guy, but…

I agree, Paul Ryan looks good to me too….I liked Romney, and Duncan
Hunter the last go-round, but I lost all respect for Huckabee when he
released his votes in W Virginia to vote for McCain and that was the
straw that broke Romney's back…..Huckabee has a nice smile and a
friendly way about him, but I think he's a typical politician with a smile
on his face and a hand in your pocket…I like Romney too, but I think he
switches his opinions at a drop of the hat, he doesn't seem committed
to conservatism……

They were too busy covering the five "Coffee baggers" holed up in a basement somewhere and calling it "momentum."

Michelle Bachman

Right now the Repubs are better than the Dems. The Tea Party must put pressure on both parties. I saw one clip of Tea Party in St. Louis on t.v. Terrrible coverage.

Now must do flash protests to pop up on all closed door and public photo ups of Obama and his cult.

I say we stick with the GOP. Also, I don't think we give them enough credit. It has been the GOP that has stood in the way of Obamacare for months. Why don't we give them a break and support them–as long as they don't just pay lip service.

Funny, I've been talking about flash mobbing as a tool for about six months now but you are the first one other than myself to mention it that I know of…

I love the idea of having 2 or 3 hundred people show up at a local TV station protest for 15 minutes and walk away only to show up 20 miles away at some other venue…

The problem I have had is that WE have jobs so it makes it very hard to get people to show up in the middle of the day to do civil actions…

For what little the GOP has contributed toward thwarting this Health Care Hoax, at times I believe they are complicit. It can't be both ways. If they support it, they ought to say so, if they don't, then they ought to do something relevant. Thus far they haven't. The GOP is still out of step, and the band is marching on. I believe Health Care will be defeated, and it will be through the actions and support of the grassroots movement.

I am amused that the last two places Obama gave speeches, PA and MO, the major politicians each running for re-election never showed up. There were three in each state that shunned him. That is telling………

The more I see of her, the more I like her. Huckabee's just another Carter waiting to blur the distinction between Christianity and socialism. Romney–also-ran.

cardon,

That is the point. We need them to speak out more.

I also believe we need to keep showing up when they come to town, or showing up to voice our opposition when Oba-Mao's minions come to town.

I believe the "silent" majority allowed the current travesty in our government to come about SPECIFICALLY because we were silent. We cannot afford that anymore.

But until the GOP stops parading Newt and other RINO's as the solution and starts really championing what the Tea Party is saying I fear this will all backfire and simply splinter the opposition to Oba-mao, Reid, Pelosi, etc…

MOVING TO THE MIDDLE is what got us where we are now!

The TEA party needs to stick with CONSERVATIVES.
The GOP has stood in the way of Ocare because of TEA.
As to "give them enough credit"— look where they have gotten us
the GOP needs to pay attn. to TEA

What do you mean lacks conext? There are 5 or 10 post on this site each day to add context.

The point is that the Republicans are not out there aggressively fighting for liberty but the people are.

Yes they are fighting but are they doing all they can? Why did they roll over and let the Christmas eve vote go down in the first place, they could have demanded to read the bill.

They need to step up, that is the point.

But that is what I mean, she is by far the most popular candidate and I believe the one who could do the most damage to the statist at this time.

Why would you think she doesn't stand a chance? This is what they want us to think.

Seriously … some handcuffs need to some out … Corruption is so rampant in Government and the media and FBI are doing nothing …

so sad…..

Good-nite Constitution..

10 Admendment people .. it is that simple

It is telling isnt it.
I wish i had you faith it will be defeated but you are right it will only happen by grassroots

LOL

Got it…

Thank God all of these people showed up. We have a huge Convention, including Sarah Palin, Joe the Plumber this weekend, here in WI. 2 days!

He sounds like my type of politician. I like him a lot.

red headed stepchild
When you say "they" are you meaning the oSlime a bots?

I have been a big supporter of Palin, but I think hippyconservat is right. As it stands, right now, Palin doesn't stand a chance of becoming President which is a shame. But we must face facts. I think, with some more experience and perhaps more maturity, Palin could be a formidible force at that level and she is right now within the GOP and Tea Party, but she is all over the place right now.

She is still young. She has time to develop. Margaret Thatcher was in her 50s when she became Prime Minister of England.

i think rhs is talking about the gop

When I saw that picture I had a funny thought.
What if every TEA party person showed up at the same time and stood in Line to file for unemployment benefits.
They intend to put most of us out of work..but on their timetable…..so apply early and swamp their system.
They in DC would go bonkers and it would really screw up their March numbers.
So what if you are denied….they have to count the applicants either way.

But seriously,
I like the idea of just randomly showing up, make your voice heard and dispersing
multiple locations through out each state at the same time where you cant be overlooked

Dan do you know if the picture on this article was from the actual Mo demonstration? I am curious
because I've never seen a group of demonstrators cordoned off along the front of buildings in a thin
line like this. Looks to me to be an effort to stifle their power of 'voice' & sense of camaraderie that
would normally sustain excitement in a group. When lined up in the manner this picture depicts it
would be hard, if not impossible to move around, thus tiring folks out more than usual. These
b@st@rds we are fighting know every trick in the book. Look at that photo & tell me it gives the im-
pression of 5K people, HELL NO. We need to get much much smarter with our effort. However I
do commend Mossouri'ans for their excellent turnout, & in no way do I mean to be critical of those
who came out for this demonstration.

Michael Steele and the GOP leadership are either lazy or stupid or both..They don't know where to be or what to do..just keep begging for $$.

agreed
TPM should not try to be a third party but work with the gop
a 3rd party will only split votes

Did you hear Reid is behind that 3rd party candidate, cause I did.

RINOs need to be hunted to extinction!

i guess i need to figure out how to use a twitter
im lucky to be able to use a computer
lcd watches give me a fit

Me too!

Just in the past 36 hours, I have gotten the feeling that this bill is dead. It grows stronger with each passing hour. Last night, Pelosi announced she will not vote on the Bill by March 18th. Ten minutes ago, it just came across the news that Obama has postponed his Asian trip. There is trouble in paradise.

I think the real Republicans are confused about what to do next. First of all, some of them are older than the hills.. Second, many are corrupt, either for personal gain or for the States they represent. MSG TO OUR REPS: We the People are sick and tired of the special considerations that come with a yes vote for HC. Do what's best for America, not individual States, or in hindsight you'll wish you'd listened. If you won't protect the American People we will protect ourselves with your early dismissal from the Congress or Senate. Republicans like John MCCain and Lindsay Graham can bend over and kiss their Progressive a$$es goodbye come November, so, I'd not follow their lead if I were in your shoes!

cardon, thx for reiterating the point of Huck back-stabbing Romeny. For the life of me I
can't understand why that FACT escapes so many.
Romney, I believe is a 'big picture' guy. While he would never be my first choice, mainly
due to his previous failure, we will need someone with his business acumen to work
on this mess we're left with in 2013. We may have a Dem House of Rep in 2013, so we
need to make sure he understands our stance as relates to compromise. It seems as
though that was his problem in Mass, as Gov.
Agree with you on Duncan Hunter, never understood why he got no traction. He had been
so good to take threats to our nation seriously after 9/11.

Yes. That is telling.
I watched John LeBoutlier (sp) on Imus this morning on FOX business. He scorched Obama. The rumblings coming out of DC are going to turn into a deafening roar. It will be great entertainment watching the rats jump ship, as Captain Barry runs it aground.

We've seen this before. it was called Gilligans Island. I'll let you name what characters fit…….

Me too,………need more detailed info on her career.
She may be too soft spoken. Need to find her speak-
ing on the floor of the House to further evaluate. Her
head is definitely in the RIGHT place.

I want to know more about Ryan also. I would love to see more of him, didn't Hannity interview
interview him this week? I tuned in late, so missed most of his remarks. What little I did see
impressed me. He was articulate, relaxed, unpolished. Unpolished is a big one for me, how-
ever it may be the one quality which disqualifies any candidate for others. IMO, Romneys prob-
lem is he, appears too polished. Have noticed he's working on it.

Michael Steele is much too busy hustling his book to be bothered with us. My support will go directly to the candidate(s). Want an energized and focused RNC? Put Sarah Palin in charge.

I think the "Huckster" gets away with it cause he is a Republican Bill Clinton…He
seems so nice, it's hard to believe he'd stoop to be a typical politician….lol…
I agree about Romney, I just wish he would stick to Conservative principles more!
And, I do agree, we'll need someone that knows what budgeting and finances are
all about……
I always liked Duncan Hunter, Bob Dornan and Duke Cunningham….I miss Bob
Dornan's firey speeches on the floor of Congress…Cunningham was a
complete shock to me when he got indicted…I wonder why Dornan is so quiet now…
It would be great to see him being a spokesmen….He had no fear about telling the
truth!…Sorry for regressing…lol….But Duncan Hunter brought back memories of the
other two Californian congressmen…They used to get on the floor after hours and
the 3 would have some great discussions!

Harry, you're my new BF, for your question, "Why did they roll over and let the Christmas Eve vote
go down in the first place, they could have demanded to read the bill". We MUST get to the bot-
tom of this point. I'm not sure why or how this happened, & I have been unable to confirm my
suspicions, but I think the lovely Kay Bail-out Hutchinson, cast her vote incorrectly, when voting
for whether to read the full bill, or not. It is my understanding she voted with the Dems. Only one
place I have heard this, & the media never asked her during her Gov campaign, or any other Sen-
ator for that matter. There is a radio guy out of Lubbock Tx, Robert Pratt, very conservative, who
either spoke about it or had it on his website. He does mostly local & Texas politics, the 'inside
baseball' stuff since he's been trying to push his local party apparatus to the RIGHT for years.

G t E, wonderful,…….please don't neglect to report back to us,
I'll be with ya'll in spirit.

gs clever thinking, we need more of it in this battle.

she could handle it, she might work herself to death, but she would not fail.

Steele was an idiot in Baltimore and he is an idiot now.

Dirty underhanded politics at it's best. However if it works for ol Harry,
it may be a lesson for some on the RIGHT, who continue to call for a
3rd party.

"Here’s who the national GOP left behind:"
—
Old white people?

Not a surprise, hopefully we'll have monkey stew, after 11/2010. MM..mm..GOOD!!

You know, he's a snappy dresser, but I haven't seen any strong take charge type of actions by him. He appears to always make sure that some one(s) is following him. A leader goes forth and does what needs to be done without worry about who's following him. I think he's a talented leiutenant type, not the General, lead from the front type that would yell "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead".

Thank you for expressing that wonder_all, the beating up of the GOP is a waste of energy and is misplaced.
United we stand, divided we fall – pretty damn simple and clear -

That's a silly and overreaching statement zebo – we all know who the true conservatives are and those that play the progressive game, don't sell anyone here short ~

After two and a half years of taking their best shots and shutting them down without breaking a sweat? She can make a facebook post of a couple senteces and rock the WH on its butt, she's done it repeatedly. That kind of stand up to the "big boys"? Obama wouldn't last 30 days under the kind of hype and microscope she' been put under. And she has thrived in that environment.

I ticks me off to see the people who are her ideological base being convinced by the lame stream and each others mantra. That's the kind of crap sheeple on the left do. Harry's got a couple of great points as well.

To be fair, I think the biggest obstacle with Palin is the female vote, and you simply cannot underestimate that vote. I have respected her from the beginning and moreso watching her stand tall with all the vile hatred hurled her way.

Ok. Where is Palin's policy on anything? I don't mind having this debate. I'd like to see her come up with a comprehensive policy on how she plans on turning this country around. And, while we are at it, I'd like her to use more real facts in her speeches.

I agree, America does need to have a cheerleader and Palin is GREAT at that. She does promote a positive perspective of our country and I love that. But, "where's the beef?"

As long as Palin is content doing Leno and giving feel good speeches without real substance, she will give the MSM legitimate criticism that will resonate with voters.

Not sure why or how it happens Lisa, but it's NOT an assult on your free speech, it's a glitch ~ it happens to all of us, nothing personal.

Time to "sack up"!

What does she need that we haven’t already seen from all the career plutocraps that have run our country into the ground? An Ivy league accent and diploma? Career politicians back 8 generations on both sides of her family tree? Bootlegging millions backing her family’s politics? Big biceps? An academy Award? Maybe a Nobel peace prize? How about a body count list of her “friends” that have had “accidents” that is in the hundreds?

Maybe a birth certificate? Maybe being the governor of a state for 3 years? Maybe fighting corrupt plutocracies since the inception of her political career as a mayor? Maybe experience as a small business owner? If we’re ever going to return to a Constitutional Republic governed by “We the People”, she’s the kind of “We the People” that I want representing me and mine. That is the type of people that is supposed to be running this country, not seventh generation politicians that have never done anything but suck on the government tit. Nuff said. Next time I’ll tell you how I REALLY feel. 

It's those nice guys that'll get ya . . . . right between the shoulder blades.

They aren't. We're going to have to take the party back from them starting at the precincts, or consign them with the Dems to the dustbin of history, through operations like GOOOH.com

Honestly, I don't want to believe that is true, Common. If Palin could come out looking strong, I think she would get a lot of the PUMAs and a good portion of Conservative women.

Sadly, a lot of women–especially the young women–base their vote of Choice. As if women should be SO proud that we can kill our children in utero. It makes me sad.

Yep the GOP are showing no real leadership – but that's why the tea parties exist. Politicians will only work to their own advantage – the tea parties are working to the peoples advantage!

A traitor in your camp is more dangerous than the enemy at the gate. We'll never be able to win when we always have to be watching our backs.

I don't relish believing it either, but I believe it to be true – I find she does have the conservative women by and large, just can't quite get the kiddies on board and forget the libs, the are the most delusional bunch out there – how they supported hillary made me sick!

Michael Steele: wrong man,…..wrong job,….wrong time.

That's what I'm takin 'bout!

What a great way to spend a Saturday!…Have a great time!!

I Love Michelle Bachman!!

Wussbags!

Nancy has already sent her flying monkeys after her.

I was just listening to the news on the radio and heard that Senator Reid's wife will be OK following an horrific accident yesterday. (I'm glad to hear she will be fine.) But knowing how these people work, I wonder how long it will be before Reid happily uses this accident as an example of why we need Obamacare… "My wife is lucky. I'm lucky. Everyone in this chamber is lucky. The President and his family are lucky…. We have the best health coverage in the world. But there are so many Americans that have nothing, and I hate to think what they would have done in my wife's situation. I want – and the President and Speaker Pelosi want – all Americans to be secure in knowing that if they are ever in a car accident, they won't be turned away at the emergency room door because they don't have insurance…" (Of course, if Obamacare passes, there may not be any quality emergency rooms or hospitals to treat any of us!)

We heard her say Nancy the Gross was after her, so we sent her a donation…
If Nancy is against her, that speaks volumes….She must be getting in the old
witche's hair…..lol

agree, if they cross the isle, don't let them come back. Start with prissy sissy Lindsey from SC.

ALERT!!!!! savage just said Texas school book board went CONSERVATIVE all the way!!!!!!!!!!
HUG A TEXAN……….the left-wing blogs are on fire, he said.

Somehow I thing the GOP is way behind in the money game, the Dems/libs/progessive head cases have Soros and his neverending supply of money! We all have an idea of how much funding all the fringe groups bring in, add in the unions and for God sake how does one combat that flood of money?

They always sent out those questionnaires that require a donation to process it. I have always attached a pretty lengthy list of my own on the scratch paper I have here at the house and mail it back to them saying “Grassroots” is not a gardening term. They know what our beef is and they know what we want or they can figure it out by reading their (e)mail. It’s pretty easy… and almost free, I tell ten friends and those ten friends tells ten… Oh, if only they would listen. Meanwhile George Soros continues to buy up cases of prepaid MasterCards and Visa to hand out to their fine little minions to contribute to their local candidates. Still waiting for that list of contributors under 200 from the O… hum.
