    Exactly, and its going to be quite humorous to see the faces of those lib hacks on the telly after the Tea Party faithful come on strong in November by sweeping all three branches of our government to where we can finally get some fiscal sanity back into our nation. Leftism is the ideology and the enemy America has faced and fought against in all of our major foreign wars. Today America's enemy is still the same atheist leftists that just happen to reside inside our gates. Call them the fifth column if you will, and their leader just happens to be named hussein.

    I'm fearing that the TP people are no more then the same old "Silent Majority" of the 80's. They seek no fundemental change of the US that is so needed in my viewpoint.

    Do they support a revamping of the military. Possible ending of SS as we know it, or basically just end it? Do they support Medicare change that will effect themselves or just their children?

    You're preaching to the choir. I've thrown away votes on third party candidates, so I understand your frustration. The very same results can be accomplished by sitting in the middle of an empty room and throwing a temper tantrum. You might feel better, but it will only be a temporary rush followed by the realization you just threw away your vote.

    A vote for Johnson is a vote for Obama.

    Glad to know you will be throwing away your vote on a primary candidate this time. Much more enjoyable Democratic win vs full Republican turnout, rather than have to listen to Republican excuses why they lost to "spoiler" candidate.:)

    I know you mean well...but a vote for Romney is a vote for nothing changing significantly, so there is no inducement to vote against conscience. But...get back to me when he and Ryan decide that they want to abolish the TSA or dismantle the Patriot Act.

    Republicans always reverse their weakness and call it a strength. You said Democrats don't have anything except attacking Republicans. In this post you talk no policy, only attack Democrats. At the RNC there was no policy talk, only attacks on Democrats "he hasn't even ran a lemonade stand". The DNC talked about policy and how they think it is working for America.

    The 2010 flip was due to Obama pushing Obamacare on America when most Americans were scared of it because they didn't know anything about it. Everyday people are changing their minds and thinking, "hey, this isn't that bad" Even Romney on Sunday flip flopped (again) and said that he will keep parts of it!

    Republicans SHOULD be replaced, with Libertarians. Unless Republicans can get back to their roots which some people actually think they are voting on. Republicans today are not Conservative, they spend nearly as much as Democrats, only they spend it differently.

    Factchecker.org will make Republicans obsolete.

    BTW you should know that your party is failing when you lose nearly every single political debate on policy and resort to immature jabs such as "Obama hasn't even ran a lemonade stand" or your "how stupid are you people". When you are desperate, you become angry. Most Republicans I know are angry.

    The GOP is changing? Evolution of devolution?

    Certainly their claimed beliefs do not align with their actions. For some small government, less spending folks they certainly seem to increase the size of the government and spend like drunken sailors.

    Couple that with their archaic social views on such things as same sex marriage and their adherence to beliefs spawned in the delusional mind of a goat herder, I don't know if the ever fungible stances of the GOP will ever make them relevant again.

    Or it's a vote against the established duocracy (which I am insisting is a word because I just made it up) that seems to control this country.

    A person may not like Obama, but certainly Mitt Romney represents nothing more than a Mormon Obama.

    Read your words here----"WE GOT RID OF"--"WE KICKED OUT"---"TAKE OVER"--"COMPLETE TAKEOVER"---THE GOPBAGGERS ----Soon to be called just the BAGGERS because your Koch brothers funded far right lunitic fringe have hi-jacked a weak political party.The Baggers left alone without the Republican party cannot survive,because the American people don't like to be "dictated" to-your delusional thinking being that the Koch brothers bought the 2010 election election gives you credibility & momentum is just plain old poppycock-when you keep putting up candidates like Sharon Angle,Michelle Bachman,Christine O'Donnell,Alan West,Rand Paul,your bottom feeding-people don't like bottom feeders.
    Now that you BAGGERS have decimated the party that could have helped propel you further,there isn't enough Koch brothers money in the world to keep you afloat--The air is going out of your balloon faster than you can keep it patched-Couldn't happen to a more deserving group. OBAMA 2012

    Nonsense. You heard Boehner and McConnell. They were going to reject every proposal Obama made so as not to give him any kind of a victory, even if those proposals were the same made by Republicans pre-Obama.

    Get real. After what Republicans have done in the last 48 months... attack them is the PRIMARY DUTY of those who are sane and care about America and its people.

    It's a FIGHT now (politically speaking); there is little doubt that if we gave the Republicans FULL power/control of this nation, it would be decimated in short order.

    The BEST thing we have as a nation, are the sets of checks and balances which keep us healthy.

    Democrats fighting Republicans? I say that's GREAT!!!

    What's your particular problem with Rand Paul, the only man to take the TSA to task in front of the Congress?

    I hate the Republicans now, but I'm not going to pretend that Obama is any different or better when he shoves his head in the sand while his agents are fondling 6 years olds in airports and we're drone killing Americans.

    Jesus Christ, I get that you don't want Romney--who does--but to proudly proclaim Obama 2012 like that's some great event for America is absurd. You should do the walk of shame back to your car after you vote for that ineffectual, liberty robbing, lying tool.

    Romney is about a bunch of 'promises'. He hasn't produced anything to prove he will contribute to any 'rebirth' of this nation.

    That man is a wealthy, but empty suit.

    Like any group there are many views and as the TP takes over we will have to gel on the issues you bring up. Basically, you will see a general tendency toward accountability. That one factor, as history shows, has little value to most politicians. 16T in the hole is testament to that. Fiscal responsibility simply must happen. Of course, this is the nightmare the left has been hiding from for a long time. So has the old Republicans.

    The TP no longer rallies and makes a splash on TV, but we are working in all corners of government, silently getting into position. The silent majority of old only quietly voted. The silence of the TP is a roar you cannot hear.

    Well, Johnnie, he does have a trail of tuning things around. Most business people have faith in him even if we think he may not be as conservative as he claims. But he's been there in business and has done it. He's governed. He has connections. Right now all across the country people who own businesses or want to start one are gearing up. Anticipation is growing that a change in attitude toward capitalism from our top leader is about to happen. I'm gearing up for a good year of business. Looking forward to it.

    When you have the job creators getting itchy to get back in the game all kinds of things will spring forth. Inspiration is happening. But if Obama gets in it will be like carpet bombing the soul of America.

    You no longer rally because the Koch brothers haven't sent their monthly check-
    You are not making a splash on TV because people aren't interested in what your spewing
    Corners is right-on-the last rally you GOPBAGGERS had in my city about 7 months ago--- 10 PEOPLE IN A PARKING LOT
    Roaring is right--roaring into oblivion

    He's not THAT impressive. If he wins, people will have the reality of that in their faces.

    Glad you came off your perch to deliver that message.

    We don't have rallies because yelling about something and actually changing it are two different things. The one make you feel better for the moment, the other lasts a good long time. I know what we are doing from the inside. You wouldn't know anything about that because we check liberals at the door.

    Oh, and the Koch brothers have never sent checks to anyone I know. We are independent minded people who have lived lives by our own creation. We aren't a bunch of union thugs who buss around those strung out enough to ride along for the price of a Happy Meal. We are happy to leave the rallies to Teacher's Unions in Chicago who have no idea the embarrassment that they are.

    It's good to know we've got folks on the forum who can see into the future. Tell us, Z... will we have an early spring next year?

    No doubt. It will be in my face for sure. And the TP will have to stand tall to make him deliver. I'm not sure if the rest of the Republicans will stand up or simply go along. But if they allow more of the same we will vote them out first chance.

    My opinion of Rand Paul is the same as all the others I have mentioned-far right lunitic fringe
    Voting for OBAMA for a second term for POTUS is a great event-
    You have your opinion I have mine-Your condescending attitude is not convincing me of anything
    Oh,& I don't drive,I am not ashamed & of course I disagree with your diatribe about our POTUS

    Very apparently if they'd vote for either Romney or Obama. Both support NDAA, the Patriot Act, Bailouts, farm subsidies, interventionism and the continuation of our perverted tax system. Neither of them heed the warnings of the CBO and that's exactly why their ready to downgrade us yet again.

    They ought to have to wear their sponsors names on their grey suits like NASCAR drivers do, at least then I'd know who they represent.

    So,you would have us all believe that there aren't video's out there showing you GOPBAGGERS shouting in Town Halls,toting guns to a rally-stomping people in the head-- So,There goes your argument right out the window
    Bullpucky--We All know the KOCH brothers "WERE" funding you-they kinda kicked you under the bus now that they are trying to outspend Sheldon Adelson-maybe if you whine loud enough they'll send you a plug-nickel.
    If I could get you to stop & think for a moment----If the Tea-Baggers were having any kind of effect or influence in the political arena right now-you wouldn't be quietly meeting,you would be out there pushing your agenda with a vengeance,it is a Presidential election,you expect anyone to believe that your just quietly making an impact--face it-you have nothing to crow about (Romney & Ryan) you have no credible candidates on the down ticket,you have no funding,let alone a door to check anybody at,your credibility got "checked" out when you ran lunitics like Sharon Angle & Christine MCDonnell & let's add Todd Akin to the mix now.
    Reading all the posts this morning,you would think you guys are ready to have a funeral for your party-(pun not intentional,but pretty pithy non-the-less)(GOP)--
