Senator Bob Bennet Compares Tea Party To Jimmah Carter

Bob Bennet like many others failed to listen to his constituents. And he like many in Washington, even after a defeat that should have sent him to personal reflection, does not understand this movement.

Like many in public office and in both parties, and the main stream media, our elected officials and government servants starting with President Obama and his administration think that they can continue to shove their agenda down out throats.

He seems to think that it was inappropriate for him to have suffered the consequences of his votes.

What a pathetic bitter old man. Maybe he and Arlen Specter can start a support group.

His bitter comments can be found in a Washington Post Editorial piece, dated for release tomorrow, found here,
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/05/21/AR2010052103216.html?hpid=opinionsbox1

The first salvo from the man who fell from grace because like others in the Capitol who are public servants, who also did not listen to his constituents, is this:

..."Unlike Carter, Reagan had more than slogans. He came to Washington with a clear plan to revive the economy and overhaul the tax code, revitalize the military, and, most important, boost the national spirit. He saw the Republican Party as a "big tent," and he successfully did what is considered political suicide today: He worked across party lines and tried to find compromise.

With Carter, Democrats had the White House for one term; with Reagan and the first George Bush, the Republicans held it for three. That has happened only once since World War II.

There's a profound lesson in this for the Tea Party movement
Guess he didn't understand the message. In January he can apply for unemployment, or maybe he will like Specter switch parties to seek re-election.

Unbelievably he goes on in his complete inability to understand this movement and our contempt for what arrogant elected officials who think that they know better that their constituents further states,

..."Their two strongest slogans are "Send a message to Washington" and "Take back America." I know both very well because they were the main tools used to defeat me in Utah's Republican convention two weeks ago. They also worked in Kentucky on Tuesday. They are more powerful than most pundits inside the Beltway realize.

Yet when the new members of Congress whom these slogans elect in November take office, the question becomes: Will they be Carter or Reagan?

Will they stand firmly on partisan sidelines continuing to shout slogans? Or will they reach across the aisle in the interest of the country? Will they offer constructive proposals to help solve our problems?"

And he closes with this,

..."I urge all of the Tea Partyers to follow Reagan, not Carter. If they want their movement to be more than a wave that crashes on the beach and then recedes back into the ocean, leaving nothing behind but empty sand, they should stop the "gloom talk." These are not the worst times we have ever faced, nor is the Constitution under serious threat.

Our economy is still the strongest and most resilient in the world. Our government is still capable of responding to the leadership of men and women who believe our problems can be solved. We must not follow the siren song of those who are in a frenzy of despair.

After all, we survived Jimmy Carter, didn't we?"

And it appears after some reflection to add insult to injury to one of the reddest voting blocks in America he has the unmitigated gall to compare his constituents Jimmah Cartah.

Even more the outrage this old lion refuses to take personal responsibility for the tin ear and affront to those whom he served in Utah.

We will honor Lincoln's statement and insure, "...that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

Senator Bennet you should have listened to you voters. In light of your public editorial fit, I have to say that you have received your just desserts.

Blaming others is a true sign of narcissism.

Apparently the Democrats are not the only ones to suffer from an unguided sense of entitlement.

This outrageous chastisement of voters in your state, shows just how much you deserved this serving of cold voter revenge.

We have a message for you Senator Bennet, and your fiefdom building arrogant buddies, our house cleaning is just beginning.

We are not a crazed bunch of sloganeering spoiled children, we are Americans, and we absolutely are determined to protect this Republic from this 111th Congress and an man who serves as President who finds our Founding Documents fatally flawed.

I say good riddance, and hope the door hits you firmly on your backside.

Pink Slip Tuesday Open Season

Pink Slips, today is yet another salvo in the open season for betrayers of the Public trust.

Rand Paul is the first to show real Tea Party Muscle, 60% of the vote, http://www.courier-journal.com/

Senator DeMint, who endorsed Paul, calls his victory "part of an American awakening that is taking place across the country. The Washington establishment threw everything they had at him and yet he prevailed."

Specter also went down in defeat.
Lincoln has been forced into a runoff on June 8th.

Out with the old and in with the new is what voters have in mind today, and their list of grievances is long for the 111th Congress who have failed miserably.

The message from Voters today to this pack of usurpers and those elected officials who would undermine of our founding documents, is NO MORE !

YOUR FIRED!

Voters have had enough!

Enough of elected officials, who think that they can avoid listening to what we, your constituents have to say.

Who do you think you are? And do you know who your boss is? It is us, American voters, and we are not happy with your performance.

This pack of 535 Representatives in Washington and the President and Vice President have been bought and sold, and I am not sure who has their 'ear' but it is obvious it is not the American taxpayer.

The Congress and Senate seem to think that it is somehow OK to continue to vote for legislation based on lies that they have not read, for bills that will forever alter this great Republic. These bills will also create a permanent caste system, and cripple the American economy. Their actions will cause the prices of everything to be increased for the voting public.

Do our elected officials in the Congress and the Senate and our appointed officials, really think for a moment the voter's are buying his dog and pony show?

Today the voters in Pennsylvania and Arkansas and Kentucky have shown, as this poll indicates the level voters dissatifaction with elected officials, as shown in this Real Clear Politics poll, http://www.blogger.com/www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/congressional_job_approval-903.html


Are they (our elected officials) arrogant enough to think voters are happy with their treatment last summer at Town Halls, or that we will allow elected weasels to continue get away with schmoozing or snowing or out right lying to us, their constituents?

FAT CHANCE.

Boy are they, all of them...all of them in for a big surprise.

That 'E' ride at their favorite theme park the American taxpayers piggy bank is soon to coming to an end, WE, the people, want our government back.

Starting with the Democratic Party and then various Republicans foolish enough (members of gangs of 6, 8 12, 14) that want to enable, tinker with, compromise and reach across the aisle for TARP, the Stimulus, GM and Chrysler buy outs, Health-care, Cap & Trade, Card Check, Illegal Immigration, Foreign Policy, you name it, the process for replacing ALL 535 arrogant men and women have forgotten who they work for has begun and they will soon receive their unemployment notices.

Some, like Bennet in Utah got an immediate notice, and for others their pink slips will be in their hands in 2010, the others will get their pink slips in 2012, and the remainder in 2014.

Our 'house' cleaning has just begun.

We will continue the re-hiring process until these usurpers understand who is their boss.

Enough Already.

The American public is getting ready to do some printing of their own...it is called a PINK SLIP.

Democrat's Titanic Syndrome and The Rising Red Tsunami

Too Big to Fail! ‘Unsinkable’

Democrats are either disregarding the iceberg’s of public opinion surrounding them or thinking the Red Tsunami that is headed their way will not reach their district, or impact their seat.

Since his election, the Captain of the US Democratic Party, President Obama and his Administration have been dissmissive of and have been showing his opposition nothing but arrogance. Both the President and his Administration appear to the American public in polling data (as high as 70% in some polls) to be lost at sea in a fog of self-delusion and are defiantly tin-eared to the 'noise in the background', along with, the DNC chairman and the rest of the Democratic leadership.

It also appears that the the main-stream media in it's reporting has also ecercised either an editorial blind eye or a tin ear to what average every day working Americans are expressing. The left appears to live in Wonderland, and from their coverage it appears editorially their decisions must be based on a premise of if they can play ostrich long enough and pretend we do not exist we will go away.

NO way are we going anywhere but to vote this fall, and to Tea Parties, Town hall meetings, and visit our representatives. We are all going to watch all those rats drown in their own hubris.

This movement has a big clue for them-- we will not go quietly down with the ship. We have commandeered all the lifeboats and socialist, mad spending hidden deal making traitors and sleazy liars are doomed to a cold watery death and certain losses at the polls this coming election season.

The signs are every where, even the media is starting to demand real press conferences.

President Obama, appears to be too busy reading his own press, speeches, and accepting advice from ‘Team Obama’ and listening to his own MP3s, reading praise on CNN, CBS, while in the real world his poll numbers have cratered. Even in the polls done by those networks, and pollsters on the left the numbers are dismal.

While President Obama my think that his never ending appearances and his bully pulpit brow beating speeches suggesting Tea Partiers and those who do not support him, thank him, or that that ploy is going to help him with Independents and moderates he is wrong. If he also believes that 'Team Obama's' crisis manufacturing is going to gin up support he is also ill advised. This sort of behavior and stance from his Administration will continue to deflate his approval ratings and dampen support for his agenda and will not impress Independents or moderate American voters; as shown in this link of Right Direction, Wrong track poll from Real Clear Politics, which continues to track poorly for this administration.

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/direction_of_country-902.html

President Obama and the Democratic Party are in for a very rude awakening.

Any perusal of current polling data would lead the conclusion that Ann Coulter made in her book, “If Democrats Had Any Brains The Would Be Republicans”. It is more than obvious to many right thinking Americans that the current strategy of the leadership of the Democratic Party’s agendas and policies are not in sync with the average American voter.

The ABC News Poll showing just how damaging the numbers are for Democrats this fall and can be found here:

http://abcnews.go.com/PollingUnit/2010_Elections/poll-2010-midterm-elections-incumbent-support-lowest-1994/story?id=10487480&page=4

From that article, … “A third of registered voters are inclined to reelect their representatives in Congress, the fewest since the Republican Party rode voter discontent to control of the House and Senate 16 years ago, according to a new ABC News-Washington Post poll.

Nearly six in 10 said they'll instead look for someone new come the fall elections.”

And from the same story, “…Intensity on some issues, though, is another challenge for the Democrats. More Americans "strongly" disapproved than strongly approved of Obama's performance on the economy (39 percent vs. 24 percent), on financial regulation (33 vs. 22 percent) and especially on the deficit (42 vs. 20 percent). To the extent that strong sentiment can motivate voter turnout, it's a risk for Obama and an opportunity for the Republicans."

There is also this excellent analysis from Jay Cost at Real Clear Politics, in this article, Predicting the 2010 Midterm Election Results, found on this page, http://www.realclearpolitics.com/horseraceblog/

“…Are the Democrats going to lose seats in November? Almost certainly. Are they going to lose "a lot" of seats? Probably - the macro trends generally point in that direction, and we do know enough to get an approximate sense of how things will play out. Is it going to be seat losses in the 20-40 seat range, 40-60 range, or 60+ range? Nobody knows yet.
I understand that people want to see into the future. Lord knows I do. Analysts are already working hard to satisfy this demand by proffering all sorts of arguments. Their assertions are useful - but only to a point. I've come to believe that congressional elections are a poorly understood phenomenon, and I would encourage you to be a cautious consumer of predictive punditry."

Further this Gallup Poll, should also give Conservatives and Republicans cheer and cause even more concern for Democrats running for office this year.

http://www.gallup.com/poll/127553/Enthusiastic-Voters-Prefer-GOP-Points-2010-Vote.aspx

So fellow patriots, man the decks, hide your life boats, make sure your voter registration is in tact, talk to your neighbors and ride the Red Tide this coming fall.

The 60% Solution

Poll after poll and study after study indicate that 60% or more of this nation view themselves, their thoughts and values as conservative. Whoever champions those values should never lose an election, unless the Democrats move back towards the center and find their blue dog voice.

From The American Thinker
..."Since June 2002, the Battleground Poll has asked this same question in its demographics section, and in fifteen consecutive polls, the answer has always been the same. Americans overwhelmingly describe themselves as conservative. What does "overwhelming" mean in this context? The percentage of Americans who call themselves conservative in these polls has never been less than 58% (conservative strength was that at its lowest point through these years in December 2007, when "only" 58% of Americans described themselves as conservative.) There has been a remarkable consistency in the responses to this question. Over the course of these polls, 60.2% of Americans, on average, call themselves conservative.

The results of the April 2010 Battleground Poll show that nothing has changed. Fifty-nine percent of Americans in the latest Battleground Poll call themselves conservative; two percent of Americans call themselves moderate; thirty-four percent call themselves liberal; and five percent were either unsure or refused to answer. Remove the "Unsure/Refused," and sixty-two percent of Americans are conservative. Stories from the establishment media, like USA Today and the L.A. Times, conveniently miss the underlying story about the April 2010 Battleground Poll."

This begs the question of who is crafting the message, or lack thereof, for the Republican Party? Recent elections show that the Right has been unable to capture and use that majority to the Party's advantage!

Why is it that the Right has been unable to find their voice? What message is it that both Republican and Conservative candidates appear unable to articulate, or cannot address and are missing in their talking points that voters need to hear? Or, even worse what message are they not sending at all that needs to be communicated in a clear and consistant voice that would resonate with voters insuring our values as a ruling majority for decades?

The American voting public has been manipulated back and forth by both parties in an indiscernible cloudy message of altruistic falsehoods fostered by false progressive populism. The end game for us on the right is when our message is shaded only slightly differently than the message from the left, is we lose. We lose because the left's hypnotic mantra is not our true message. The voter, given the same progressive message from both sides, will choose the one that rings more true. Since the left's message seems more genuine they win more often than they should.

Both parties currently lie to the left of Center when it comes to values, while Americans live by conservative values, just right of the center, as the Battleground poll indicates an astounding 60%.

We as voters are ill served by ever more progressive choices from both parties who continually serve up candidates to choose as elected officials. It is a never ending game of bait and switch, toxic compromises and deal making. A seemingly smarmy landscape of back room schemes and machinations which insures American voters are continually faced with voting for the lesser of two evils. The rules are fast being set so that real sensible policies and the truth are the least desirable goal, and perpetuating power and incumbency the desired end game.

If, in the struggle to elect good leadership, the argument from the right remains clouded in some post modern progressivism, and personality, and who is cool or hot, we as a nation will remain trapped in a no win game, far from our founding principles with very disturbing outcomes.

As a Conservative, who, at this time to insure my vote is not wasted, votes currently with the Republican Party, I strongly believe it is critically important that our side fashions a message that will capture the hearts, minds, values, and aspirations of that 60%.

In 2008, Senator McCain, honorable hero that he is, lost sight of his inner values and appeares to many voters to have sold out. He never set himself apart from his opponent in policy and was too willing to sacrifice principle for compromise. His willingness to compromise the conservative values of that 60% cost him the election. The polls statistically prove my point. Look directly at his polling numbers. When he made the decision to halt his campaign and be a Senator as a opposed to being a leader during the frist bailout, Tarp, there was a twenty point swing that week end.

Our current circumstances are a direct result of placing personalities before principles. We are racing, at break neck speed, from our founding fundamentals. This can be seen in our everyday life, how we do business, how we govern ourselves and the examples we set for our children.

My suggestion to those Republicans and Conservatives running for office is to make sure your points resonate with American values, tie initiatives to ideals which not only recieve an active sympathetic response, but induce voters to actions. Ask them what they would have you do to gain their vote and keep the promises you make.

Americans, in particular the 60% reflected in the Battleground polls, are a pretty candid bunch. 60% of Americans are yearning for a leader who will identify with and respond to their needs and aspirations leading through principal and example. Until the Republican Party finds its resonate voice we will remain out of power.

Unfortunately, this current power hungry administration leaves us facing the very proposition that we may have only one election cycle left to start cleaning up the mess. Unless we can make a difference in 2010, 2012 will not matter.

The Making of Less Than Equal

Less than Equal. Less than whole, lost in vagueries and undefined mediocrity and failure America must find our drive for Excellence.

If, in the struggle to elect good leadership our arguments remain clouded in personality, and who is cool or hot we as a nation will remain like a tethered ball that is whacked around at dizzying speeds from one extreme to the other.

We, the people, are the ball or shuttlecock and our government has become the racket. We are whacked back and forth in a game by elected officials whose schemes and machinations guarantee that we will be whacked back and forth until we are worn out. The rules are fast being set so that winning is the least desirable goal. The object is to keep all players and equipment on the same Progressive playing field, with very limited outcomes.  Ties and mediocrity are awarded and desired. The cruelty of mass uniformity at the cost of personal excellence a desired result.  Mediocrity sought as the highest achievement available.

Our current sociologic circumstances are a direct result of placing personalities before principles, and  America is racing at break neck speed from our founding fundamentals, teaching about them, or honoring them.

In the last fifty years one of the foulest affronts to the premise that we are all created equal with a guarantee to pursue happiness is the sham of Affirmative Action and it's practice of dumbing down America. To determine that someone is less and therefore more deserving flies in the face of the primary founding principle at the creation of this nation.

The practice of this favoritism flies in the face of the most basic premises in our founding documents, that we are all equal under law, and have a right to pursuit of happiness. Because one is better at the pursuit, and has applied themselves and worked harder than another does not mean that person who has applied themselves harder should be punished and passed over by the person who is truly less able and who has only succeeded as a result of 'given points' at the expense of the person who has worked harder to achieve their goals.

Following this logic that less equals more deserving and therefore should be given preferential treatment and bonus points for being less reinforces the slow march to failure of the lowest common denominator.

As a voting public we have been slowly force fed marginally capable individuals as candidates who have advanced well beyond their abilities. And today's cafeteria is filled with not only boring but also mundane inarticulate uninspiring candidates.

In the late 60s or early 70s a book was published called the Peter Principle, a study about the social dynamic of promoting the unable and underachievers. Much fun was made about loose cannon Dicks who said what you wanted to hear, who spoke in easy cool short meaningless yes, yes, yes, phrases, who were awarded promotion and success without a record to support their postiton.

Today we are witness to both corporate America and our Government overrun by individuals who have been promoted well beyond both their vapid intellect and ability to perform. They not only lack a firm commitment to doing the right thing, but also appear completely unable to recall or remember promises made to the voting public. Every day we witness this activity in the weakness of elected officials resolve, and their duplicitous actions. Those who promise one thing and do another. Further they appear unable to solve a single problem because they are intellectual frauds, sellouts and con men.

This sad state of affairs is compounded by the multiple undermining engines, which are shaking the very foundation of this great nation.

The first is a voting public a product itself of the search for the lowest common denominator.  Voters who have become jaded with apathy as a result of the arrogance exhibited by many elected officials engaged in back room deals. Unable in many instances to comprehend complex double speak that is tiresome and a challenge to keep up voters abstain from their Constitutional responsibility. The main stream media gives voters a pass and excuses them due to the pressure of modern American culture and a lifestyle that celebrates easy come easy go and at the same time discourages serious thinking talk or debate, and in the process voters become shame bound by their lack of action.

The quest for the lowest common denominator has placed this nation in a position of having a population unable to discern or identify clear ethical/moral objectives. A citizenry who are intellectually lazy, who also will look for fast easy fixes, ways to cheat by howling about additional points, and uninspired as those who have been awarded knowingly enable the morally indefensible because the fix at least for some will be in, and the reward is they can get grades, placement, employment that is meritoriously undeserved.

The result of this National acceptance of lowest common denominators has resulted in large segments of our society unable to identify facts from fiction.  This segment has traded self fulfilling individual acheivement and chosen the slide from the quest for excellence to the social engineering of aspiring to failure.  A nation breaking culture that awards the least marginally able, by promoting the lowest common denominator with favoritism and punishing excellence.

Many Public school districts schools have ceased to recognize Valedictorians and have eliminated that part to their program graduation programs.

Frequently less qualified low performing or inadequately able applicants are selected to fill positions, and openings to satisfy the drudgery of diversity and graying of the masses.

Take a look at where we are as a society after fifty years of diversity, and the cost we have paid in our integrity by making judgments solely on their cover,  awarding under acheivement  buttressed by awarding what looks good and how buying what feels good has placed us exactly in the national crisis we face.

This dumbing down of America, and the resulting damage from affirmative action and enforced promotion of the less competent, intellectually lazy undeserving has trickled to the bottom of our national community.

Worse still, the curve of this infection has finally reached our highest offices and positions of trust. We find ourselves with officials in office completely unprepared and unable to meet the challenges they face. No matter the issue our leaders appear unable to perform satisfactorily to any standard an informed and reasonable voter would find acceptable. Look at the approval rating for both Congress and Senate over the last 6-7 years.

The second failure can be seen in the disconnect that is apparent in the actions of the elite 549 who govern us from an isolated bureaucratic setting, apart from the voters they 'serve' and more equal in every way possible from what our founders envisioned. If national health care passes we will become a caste society after 233 years, when by law our elected officials will have given themselves access denied average Americans.

The problems of affirmative action and aspiring to the lowest common denominator and a curriculum that celebrates failure has us lost in a morass of moral equivalence, sexual ambiguity, celebrating celebrity and denigrating heroism. We seem unable to discern right from wrong, our laws exhibit little value for the frailest of human life at its beginnings and soon will encourage euthanasia for our most senior and physically challenged and seriously ill individuals, meanwhile giving a pass to promoters of all back room deal making, giving a pass on fiscal responsibility and pandering to the highest bidder, with an arrogance to our founding documents.

Our leaders justify all that they do in the name of affirmative action or diversity, and appear unresponsive, and with each election prove they are more than derelict in their duties.  It would appear the inmates have truly taken over the asylum.

It Takes A Tea Party To Save A Nation

The coming elections in 2010 are perhaps the most important in the history of this magnificient Republic.

The unending smears and misrepresentations of this movement are fantastic and blatant lies made to defend the current Administrations calculated overreaches to change forever the fabric and founding ideals of this nation.

In a desparate move to complete their agenda Democrats are in a rush to push their agenda prior to this election Democrats fear our ability to stop them in their tracks.

It is left to us to continue to practice our First Ammendment duties that of "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

It is likely that the organized assualt on the Tea Party Movement was orchestrated by Axelrod and Emanuel given that the list of wrongs and grievances have a strinking similarity in not only content and attacks but also the race baiting seen in blogs, heard on the air and made by one elected scroundrel after another including President Obama who in his arrogance thinks we should thank him is an outrage on every level.

The unsubsstantiated attacks and smears on every level to our movement more than likely has far more to do with these polls and their fears of our fllipping the Congress in the comming fall elections.
