No such thing as a moderate Republican. Some are just less greedy then others.

What a clever response.

Reality is that you might be right, even the most exptreme Pub is closer to Mainstream America than most Dems.

what is a "exptreme" Pub? And do not give me that mainstream crap, you are so far out of touch with the real world that I actually have moments when I feel sorry for you.

Tea Party's Rand Paul wins over the Cheney darling Grayson.



SUCK IT CHENEY!

The Senate Minority Leader could not even help Grayson. I hope this is the beginning of Tea Party triumphs in every state.

A guy like Inhofe in the Senate. In the house a guy like McClintock.

I represent a clearly defined and well thought out series of beliefs all across the spectrum. You are a Dem apologist.

Lincoln couldn't put Halter away. Now he needs to beat that smelly c*nt!

And of course I am closer to centrist than you are. That is the reason that Tea Party beliefs are surging. This is what Americans want, and they cant always find it with Republicans, and can alomst never find it with Democrats.

"The American people,... are not going to accept the notion that we can only make a better world for others by moving backwards ourselves. Those who believe we can have no business leading the nation.
I will not stand by and watch this great country destroy itself under mediocre leadership that drifts from one crisis to the next, eroding our national will and purpose. We have come together here because the American people deserve better from those to whom they entrust our nation's highest offices, and we stand united in our resolve to do something about it."

""Trust me" government asks that we concentrate our hopes and dreams on one man; that we trust him to do what's best for us. My view of government places trust not in one person or one party, but in those values that transcend persons and parties. The trust is where it belongs--in the people."

"...we must overcome something the present administration has cooked up: a new and altogether indigestible economic stew, one part inflation, one part high unemployment, one part recession, one part runaway taxes, one party deficit spending and seasoned by an energy crisis. It's an economic stew that has turned the national stomach."

"Our problems are both acute and chronic, yet all we hear from those in positions of leadership are the same tired proposals for more government tinkering, more meddling and more control -- all of which led us to this state in the first place."

Can anyone look at our reduced standing in the world today and say, "Let's have four more years of this? I believe the American people are going to answer these questions the first week of November and their answer will be, "No--we've had enough."

"We must have the clarity of vision to see the difference between what is essential and what is merely desirable, and then the courage to bring our government back under control and make it acceptable to the people."

"I believe it is clear our federal government is overgrown and overweight. Indeed, it is time for our government to go on a diet. "

"We will remind them that government programs exist at the sufferance of the American taxpayer and are paid for with money earned by working men and women. Any program that represents a waste of their money -- a theft from their pocketbooks--must have that waste eliminated or the program must go."

"We are going to put an end to the notion that the American taxpayer exists to fund the federal government. The federal government exists to serve the American people. "

"None of this will be based on any new form of monetary tinkering or fiscal sleight-of-hand. We will simply apply to government the common sense we all use in our daily lives."

I agree with raucous. I will add, that although there have been alot of ups and downs I think we have gone backwards since the late 1880's.

That is back when Progressives began to be taken lightly. At the turn of the century Progressives began to get elected into United States public office by keeping much of their beliefs to themselves. Their numbers have grown and our country has declined in most areas, although we have had few big victories like Civil Rights.

This massive independent conservative movement called the Tea Party may be our turning point to some real positive advances in our country. We may be able to look to a future with more freedom and less poverty.

This is all Ronald Reagan from 1980. It applies as much today as it did 30 years ago.

If you think the first line of the second paragraph applies just as much today as it did 30 years ago, you are on crack.

"We are taxing ourselves into economic exhaustion and stagnation, crushing our ability and incentive to save, invest and produce.

This must stop. We must halt this fiscal self-destruction and restore sanity to our economic system."

"When I talk of tax cuts, I am reminded that every major tax cut in this century has strengthened the economy, generated renewed productivity and ended up yielding new revenues for the government by creating new investment, new jobs and more commerce among our people."

"The Carter Administration lives in the world of make-believe. Every day, drawing up a response to that day's problems, troubles, regardless of what happened yesterday and what will happen tomorrow.

The rest of us, however, live in the real world. It is here that disasters are overtaking our nation without any real response from Washington.

This is make-believe, self-deceit and -- above all -- transparent hypocrisy."
