Let's have a Tea Party on November 2

I can't control other people's actions.

Well... not if you're not willing to stop them...

I think we've been over that already.

Agreed. It's sad, but covered

My primary argument is that voting for the Tea Party is voting pro-war

I've been paying more attention to Tea Partier statements on the war. Everyone I've heard so far has questioned the cost of the war and what we're getting for it. I haven't heard anyone say we should even stay the current course much less expand it. I'd like to hear more overt opposition, but they seem to be on the side of reducing involvement. The assumption so far by opponents of the party is they are Republicans and they therefore get Republican baggage like the war when they aren't.

My favorite quote so far was Marco Rubio who said if Republicans think this election was an endorsement of the Republican party, they are wrong.

My favorite stupid quotes so far are:

- Obama: The election was about wanting him to move faster
- Reid: He gets the Tea Party, it's about economics. Sorry Harry, you don't get the Tea Party.
- Alan Colmes: Is this an end to bi-partisanship.

You gotta love Democrats, clueless to the end.

The people voting for Tea Party candidates certainly made an impressive showing. I will wait and see, and give credit where it is due, but I have to say I am not as optimistic as you seem to be, Kaz.

My favorite part of the post-election discussion, came on Wednesday morning, when UNIVISION was forced to sing a different tune upon seeing so many Hispanics elected into office, like Rubio, who were: a) Republican, and b) pro Arizona's SB 1070.

Ever since Jan Brewer proposed the state law, UNIVISION went on a full-on propoganda campaign to brainwash its viewers to believe REPUBLICANS were, literally, their enemy (as they conveniently grouped everyone as 'immmigrants'). It sickened me, like you have no idea.

I am proud of these men and women who won elections (a few against other "Latino" candidates) based not on the color of their skin or ethnic background, but on the content of their character, principles, and plans for their respective jurisdictions.

They didn't need to pander to one single "category" (if you will ) of American voters, and a broad base of voters found them best suited for the job.

Now, it's time we, as a country, take an even more active role in ensuring our elected officials come through for ALL Americans.

It's not like they have before. Sure, Democrats have gone nuts with the endless everyone's a racist thing while they're the only one peddling race. But for anyone who thinks the Republicans are more "logical" a simple examination belies that fallacy. A few examples.

Terry Schivo - They kept saying how people in comas come back, but ignored she wasn't in coma she was a flat liner and no flat liner has come back. It was straight Democrat logic, what they claim to be above. Right.

The war on drugs. The party of small government wanting us to be free from government so we can make our own choices. Yet they fund organized crime, de-stabalize governments across the world, empower the government to scrutinize our financial transactions in an incredible invasion of our privacy and cause shootouts in our streets and facilitate the power of drug lords over our inner city in the attempt to prevent people from putting what they want to inside their own bodies. And we pay that price for...nothing. It doesn't work...

Abortion. Right or wrong, you can't tell a woman she has to carry a baby for nine months. If Republicans had any logic at all they focus on giving women options and persuasion, not running to their nearest politician who says what they want to hear.

Wars overseas. Sure, as long as we're in the Middle East and across the world we will draw terrorists and if we are doing that it's better to take the war to them. But why doesn't the rational party recognize we don't need to be there in the first place? We're fighting everyone else's battles for them and paying their price to do it. What is rational about that?

And for oil? What about the rational party getting government out of the oil business? Republicans talk about businesses being free to compete, but why does government need to secure our oil supplies? Market efficiencies talked about by Republicans mean government non-interference. Government "helping" is by definition a warping. Efficiency means business getting the supplies they can secure in a lasting way, not government confiscating money, buying guns and getting it for them.

I am with you on the racism finger. But Republicans are better? Not...
