I was 1/2 wrong. I admit it. It will be tough, but I’ll learn to deal with it…eventually.
Last December 22, I wrote the article below. At the time, it was my
belief that the Tea Party would actually evolve into a third party, and
I built my prognostications on that basis. It goes without saying, but
for some reason I am saying it, that never happened.
The Republicans have done a good job of protecting their backs, and may not suffer as much damage as the Dems.
My numbers, however, both on percentage of voters drawn from the
traditional parties, and how many seats Dems are likely to lose, seem
to be on pretty firm ground, (maybe even too low).
The Tea Party has fielded an array of formidable citizen
candidates. No professional politicians, rather “Professional
Americans”.
I can live with 1/2 wrong.

A Pox On Both Their Houses…
… is a growing sentiment around America lately. The lies from
the professional politicians, the doublespeak from these millionaire
lawyers firmly ensconsed in our wallets, has crossed the Rubicon.
The Dem leadership has been speaking of being willing to accept
the loss of approximately 40 seats this coming election, due to their
failure to accurately represent their constituants.
I think that figure is optimistic. 50 to 70 seems more realistic too me.
I also think the GOP is going to lose as many, or more seats.
The people are awake, and they are enjoying a brisk cup o’ TEA Party enthusiasm.
Right now, with no actual official party to speak of, the Tea
Party is polling higher then the corruption riddled Dems and Rinos.
Tea Party people will no longer accept the “lesser of two
evils”. They will be proud to stand on their principles and vote for
their candidates.
They will be running candidates that will put the constitution
and country first , patriotic citizen-candidates, going to do a job for
the American people, not wrap themselves in a cloak of royalty at our
expense. They will see to it that the legislators are governed by the
laws they burden the public with.
Within a week of the Tea Party officially organizing and
excepting members, I humbly estimate 25 to 35% of Dems and the GOP will
join. Once their candidates are announced and platforms are presented
to the voters, another 10 to 15% will join.
No one wants to be associated with the weasels currently running the country.
The Dems have had us on the fast track to socialism for years,
and the GOP has been tagging along, slowing them down a little,
but inevitably bending to the Dems in ridiculous, never-reciprocated
attempts to appear “bi-partisan”, so they can be popular with the media.
The GOP has forgotten the constitution, and has been as insulting to
Americans in their spending habits as the libs.
This administration has just taken advantage of the damage done
by both parties over the years, and has put together a group of the
most radical, corrupt, anti-American, Mao and Stalin loving, capitalism
hating Chicago thugs in history for one great last push into the abyss
of socialism from which our Constitution, (the one Obama wants to
rewrite), will never recover.
The world is going to see something very special in America
over the next two elections. The example of free people returning to
their roots, sweeping out all the professional prostitutes who have
bastardized a beautiful document, the US Constitution. Our actions will
ring loud and clear around the world. Free people using their votes to
peacefully restore their founding document to its rightful position in
the law.
What could scare the tyrants of the world more then their
citizens seeing America in its glory, allowing its citizens freedoms
that would never be granted in their, (the tyrants), country?
Tea Party candidates will reference the portion of the
constitution that covers the actions they are taking, and stop the
ongoing assaults on the first and second amendments.
They will restore the capitalist system, without the
government interference that brought us Freddie and Fannie and the union
theft of GM. Freeing the American people and business from the
success-punishing taxes they are forced to deal with will ignite an
economic boom Ronald Reagan would be proud of.
I believe this because the alternative is too ugly to consider.
This country cannot afford any futher machinations and misappropriations by the current crop of miscreants in DC.
They have gotten so brazen in their lies and
misrepresentations, people that never paid any attention to the fact
they were being screwed have taken notice, and they are not amused.
The Tea Party is standing between us and the “ash bin of
history”. They are the last chance to correct the damage from Democrats
and Republicans.
A pox on both their houses!
