Healthcare Vote Day, U.S. Capitol Lawn

by Eileen | 6:20 pm, March 21, 2010

Whether we are moments away from shredding the Constitution or bitch-slapping the Botox out of Madame Speaker, it was a lovely day for politicking. And, come what may, it has been heartening to see people getting worked up over politics.
Democracy is the belief that the common man knows what he wants and deserves to get [...]

Top 10 Reasons Why Both Parties Are in Tea Party Hot Water – #1 Corruption

by GrizzlyGrannyLu | 7:30 am, February 22, 2010

1. CORRUPTION
The Top Reason why both major parties are in Tea Party hot water is CORRUPTION. Its rancorous stench permeates politicians and the parties in Washington DC and most, if not all, state capitols. Even if some individuals have managed to resist temptation personally, they have not taken a firm stand against it or actions to stop it. [...]

This is Day 9 of a 10-part installment.
2. If Officials Will Not Defend the Constitution, Tea Partiers Will.

Top 10 Reasons Why Both Parties Are in Tea Party Hot Water – #3

by GrizzlyGrannyLu | 7:30 am, February 18, 2010

This is Day 8 of a 10-part installment.
3. Broken Words, Broken Promises and Broken Vows
You Lie! Rep. Joe Wilson’s shouting those two words resonated with the Tea Party crowds not just because of the alleged lie at the moment but because it applies to so many statements from so many politicians from both sides of the aisle for all of [...]

Clinton Machine Planning Tea Party Smear Jobs?

by T.L. James | 10:19 pm, February 17, 2010

BigGovernment.com is reporting that the Clintons are working with James Carville on a plan to smear and destroy the tea party movement ahead of the mid-term elections:

Stimuluspalooza: One Year Later

by elpresidente | 12:44 pm, February 17, 2010

Michelle Malkin took a look back at the very start–before the first Tea Parties–when bloggers in cities like Seattle and Denver helped launch the organized protests that preceded but foreshadowed the Tea Party movement (and refute the ignorant or disingenuous claim that these protests were astroturf campaigns). Instapundit’s Glenn Reynolds collected a great roundup [...]

Top 10 Reasons Why Both Parties Are in Tea Party Hot Water – #4

by GrizzlyGrannyLu | 7:30 am, February 17, 2010

This is Day 7 of a 10-part installment.
4. Politicians think they are entitled to privileged class status.
It has come to the point that the gap between Mainstream Americans and the Political Class is bigger than the gap between Mainstream Republicans and Mainstream Democrats. We the People are going to make our elected and appointed officials, government employees, and their [...]

Top 10 Reasons Why Both Parties Are in Tea Party Hot Water – #5

by GrizzlyGrannyLu | 7:30 am, February 16, 2010

This is Day 6 of a 10-part installment.
5. Both Parties Have Strayed from American Economic Principles
Whatever else you can say about the Tea Party, it is a uniquely American movement. WE ARE AMERICANS! Tea Partiers do want to be labelled Democrats, Republicans, North Americans, Progressives, Europeans, Socialists, South Americans, Communists, Asians, Africans or hyphenated anything – and especially [...]

Top 10 Reasons Why Both Parties Are in Tea Party Hot Water – #6

by GrizzlyGrannyLu | 7:30 am, February 15, 2010

This is Day 5 of a 10-part installment.
6. Tea Partiers Are All About Substance.
Another disconnect between the parties and those of us in the Tea Party movement is the struggle between substance over style or form. Major political campaigns (and some policy debates in Washington DC) have come to be more about the candidate’s style and charisma [...]

Top 10 Reasons Why Both Parties Are in Tea Party Hot Water — #7

by GrizzlyGrannyLu | 7:30 am, February 12, 2010

This is Day 4 of a 10-part installment.
7. Women are the Tea Party Super Majority.
The Hand That Rocks The Cradle
Is The Hand That Rules The World
Blessings on the hand of women!
Angels guard its strength and grace,
In the palace, cottage, hovel,
Oh, no matter where the place;
Would that never storms assailed it,
Rainbows ever gently curled;
For the hand [...]

Top 10 Reasons Why Both Parties Are in Tea Party Hot Water – #8

by GrizzlyGrannyLu | 7:30 am, February 11, 2010

This is Day 3 of a 10-part installment.
8. Tea Party encompasses wider political spectrum than those controlling either party.
The power players in both parties comprise small subset of the Party, and in the case of the Democrats – most currently appear to be from the farther left group – Progressives. So, it is not surprising that [...]

Top 10 Reasons Why Both Parties Are in Tea Party Hot Water – #9

by GrizzlyGrannyLu | 6:21 am, February 10, 2010

This is Day 2 of a 10-part installment.
9. Both Parties are looking for ways to use Tea Party movement.
Rather than listening to and trying to understand this collection of voters, most of both parties’ power players are trying to use the Tea Party movement to advance their own agenda.
Republican Party leaders in Colorado and across the country have [...]

Top 10 Reasons Why Both Parties Are in Tea Party Hot Water – #10

by GrizzlyGrannyLu | 7:30 am, February 9, 2010

Most politicians still do not realize Tea Party voters are angry with both major parties for many of the SAME reasons. Democrat and Republican players (pundits and most of media for that matter) do not see that We the People can look at the parties objectively, analyze, compare/contrast, and form our own insightful opinions. We [...]

Progress Now: The New Reactionaries?

by T.L. James | 2:02 pm, February 7, 2010

Found another typically-overwrought missive from ProgressNow Colorado’s Bobby Clark in my email this morning, decrying comments made by former CD-6 Congressman and presidential candidate Tom Tancredo at last week’s Tea Party convention.
Last week, at the national extreme-right “Tea Party” Convention, former Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo said that “people who could not even spell the word [...]

The Scott Heard Round the World

by T.L. James | 12:13 am, January 20, 2010

Despite my relief at the Scott Brown victory, I’m going to be a voice of sobriety here: important though it may prove to be, this is one victory.
One.
Brown’s win may or may not derail the nationalization of healthcare, depending on whether Obama, Pelosi, and Reid “double down” in an all-out push to ram through their abominable [...]
