The Tea Party is alive and well. Last night they won a singular
victory. Their favorite, Indiana Treasurer Richard Mourdock, beat
long-time Senator Richard Lugar (R-IN). Mourdock thus shows what the Tea
Party is now doing: reforming the Republican Party from within.
Breadth of the Tea Party win
Mourdock won 61 percent of the Republican primary vote, to Lugar’s 39 percent. At once he gave credit
to the Tea Party for his win. Specifically, the Tea Party fielded
“thousands of…volunteers,” who “helped” with his campaign. That, he
said, made the difference between winning and losing.
Lugar, for his part, proved a sore loser. An hour after he conceded defeat, he said his in writing:
If Mr. Mourdock [wins in November], I want him to be a
good senator. But [to do that, he must] revise his stated goal of
bringing more partisanship to Washington. He and I share many positions.
But [he] embrace[s]…an unrelenting partisan mindset. [That] is
irreconcilable with my philosophy of governance and my experience of
what brings results for Hoosiers in the Senate. In effect,… he has
promised reflexive votes for a rejectionist orthodoxy and rigid
opposition to the actions and proposals of the other party. His answer
to the inevitable roadblocks he will [meet] in Congress is merely to
campaign for more Republicans [of like mind]. He has pledged his support
to groups whose prime mission is to cleanse the Republican party of
those who stray from orthodoxy as they see it.
Lugar can only mean the Tea Party. And Tea Party activists everywhere do not apologize for that. And Tim Stanley of The Daily Telegraph (London, UK) says
they shouldn’t. Stanley is “spot-on” about what the Tea Party stands
for today: reforming the Republican Party, to offer a “real choice” to
the people.
Folks are sick and tired of party candidates saying one
thing during the primary season, another thing during the general
election, and then ignoring both when they get into office. If you pay
good money and spend precious time working to [help elect] a candidate,
shouldn’t you expect to see them do what they promised…? Yet men like
Lugar seemed to regard their local parties as a mix of rubber stamp and
perennial nuisance. The feeling, it turns out, is mutual.
Or, as a Tea Party activist in Indiana told Politico.com:
Follow the link to the article to play a video of Mourdock's acceptance speech, and some more interesting quotes.The message to the establishment is: You’re our servants.
We’re the masters. Do what you’re supposed to do, adhere to the
Constitution or we’ll fire you.

Yes. RINO's, your days are numbered.+13Orrin Hatch, you might as well throw in the towel right now.
The Tea Party are alive and well. And we have had it with your clubbish, never-mind-the-rubes attitude. You have patronized us for the last time.
What the United States Senate needs, is an enema. And it's going to get one.






















Richard Mourdock will be our new Indiana Senator!
Joe Donnelly is another typical liberal and needs to go next :)
Middle America has been awoken from a complacent slumber. Nov 02 was the precursor and the Mighty Tea Party is just now rolling up our sleeves for one of the main events. We know what is necessary and it starts inside the GOP. We'll clean our own house first, then clean the clocks of the effing Marxists who have dared to try and take us down.
yeah that's just fabulous. A great opportunity for a democrat.
what part of that is confusing you?
Oh wait - you're a bagger. It's all confusing you.
Never mind.
Progressive liberalsim is going to be punched in the face. Freedom from government is the order of the day.
I mean, my God! Can you imagine being put in the position of sitting amongst a group of hard working average Americans and trying some dumb *uck line like, "I'm so proud of my representative, Guy Smiley, because he really got along with the stinking, Marxist Liberal Progressive Socialist bastards in the seats near him. What a peach!"
Oops ....... um, you did that, didn't you.
In lieu of understanding the current dramatic and long overdue shift away from progressivism, you've opted for flailing about with name calling and little pictures. I'd suggest you put on your big girl panties and learn to wipe your smelly a$$ before you venture into anything with me. Being a snot-nosed runt doesn't earn anyone creds.
To which you launched in to a personal attack ..... 'morons', 'T baggers', 'confused' etc ....... you see? It was you, little girl, who began behaving like a snotty nosed twat.
Nice try kid. Yo'll have to provide some evidence that the Conservative trend is not carrying forward to this day .... and I'd suggest you do it while pretending to be an adult.
Get to it, kid.
You don't bother to demonstrate by what reason it should be considered stupid .... just that it opposes your POV. THAT, is textbook Critical Theory. It is Marcusian 'Cultural Marxism', applied.
That is why you Liberals are about to be hit so very hard. You've built a societal construct on crap like that and now, that a widening swath of Middle America is having the foundations of American style Marxism laid out clean on the table for critical analysis ..... the full-a-sh*t, bullsh*t essence of Marxism in the current Liberal mindset, is quite easy to spot.
And since Marxism is as shabby, outdated and proven to be a failed ideology, (some would say idiotology) as it is ...... we're rolling up our sleeves for a street fight. And we're no bloody pushovers. We're the true hardworking, backbone of this country and we're armed and ready to fight this stinking Marxist mob to the floor.
If you think that calling me names and accusing me of being childish is going to be an effective way to get me to talk to you - it's not. It hasn't worked so far. That's not an accident.
~It's the Marxism Stupid~
It's why the Mighty Tea Party is knocking down RINOS. It's because RINOS are cuddling with Democrats and since Democrats are being lined up along the wall, the RINOS had better be prepared to cuddle with them there as well.
Bang, bang.
I didn't say you were a Marxist. Alot of the current crop of 'Progressive' Democrat supporters aren't Marxist. They still think the collectivist policies and practices of Liberals are inspired by a unversal divine harmonious OMMM. They can't get their heads past the utopian vision. They don't know the radical 60's cultural revolution expressly designed by hard core Marxists. So ... no. I don't think you're necessarily a Marxist. You could very well be a sheeple zombie of the Marxists. One of the useful idiots, if you will.
But, that's ok. I forgive. I'm generous that way.
It's time for some term limits y'all!!
No more. That game ends here, and now.
Maybe you have to quit watching (P)MSNBC, NBC-TV's "Yesterday" show, and reading The New York Slimes and The Washington (Com)Post.
But I know that's asking too much. Because I might as well be talking directly to the managing/executive editor.
