I can't believe I have to say this..."Harry Reid was right"...there...I said it. Excuse me while I throw up. Harry Reid prognosticated the demise of the Tea Party over a year ago when he said, "The Tea Party will fizzle out when the economy starts to improve." And oh boy...how the fire has gone out under the TeaPot. I remember, hell I was screaming about how we would throw any GOP out of office if they didn't adhere to the strict principles of smaller government, cut spending, cut taxes and restrictions on businesses...and then...well, then presidential politics and FOX news started the war on "Anyone but Mitt". The list of candidates who were truly fiscal conservatives was long...and not distinguished enough to make a run at the Mitt advertizing agency that is FOX news. So what was needed was good old fashioned Tea Party enthusiasm...and we got...
"Mitt is the best candidate to beat Obama." "Mitt isn't really conservative, but he has the best chance to beat Obama." "Mitt flops on a lot of issues, but he is electable." Does anyone see how easy it is to dismiss true vision, true fiscal conservative principles, and jump on the GOP machine's band wagon based on the opinions of commentators who are only allowed to speak when a hand is shoved in their...sheesh! What happened to "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore!" What happened to true conservatives willing to buck the system to make a statement? I'll tell you what happened to them...they got in line with the rest of the Republicans and are willing to shut the hell up and HOPE we get CHANGE from a puppet candidate who is willing to say anything to get his shot at the White House and do the same things the past GOP presidents have done...the bidding of the GOP establishment.
"Oh, but who will we rally around?" really? You now ask that question when one by one, the true conservatives were drummed out of the race. Ron Paul is the only conservative left...and you still don't know what to do, because you have been told he's a crackpot. Shame on you, you deserve what you get, and when you cry wolf again, in four years...I will say what Harry Reid said about you Tea Partiers...you are just whining about the economy, but you don't have conviction. You aren't new, you aren't "reborn"...you are just a vocal part of the same old party of slightly less bigger government. "But what about us...who aren't supporting Mitt?"
You mean you Santorum characters who are ok with bigger government, as long as it bombs Iran, prosecutes porn sites, and wants dictatorial control of the internet content "to save the children"? Why don't you be a fricking parent if you want to save your children? Too hard? Then let the schools and government do your job, and vote Democrat next time...so we can get to the tyranny we are heading towards. I'm tired of the indignation from the "Right Wing"...who then fall into line with the most centrist/left leaning candidate, or his rival...the ultra religious/righteous spending machine who can't even win his senate seat, let alone 1/100th of the independant non-religious votes who are DYING for someone else to support that isn't one of these clowns. What the hell does a conservative have to do to be able to not be ashamed of his vote? Vote Libertarian? But Ron Paul is a libertarian, and the media makes fun of him...so I need someone that won't get me laughed at...
OK, fine. One more time...I will help you out of this jam. Not because I think Ron Paul is anything short of an American icon for freedom and principled government...but because he can't be on the Libertarian ticket, and shame on you for not having the convictions to support a man who lives his convictions. You don't deserve to have him represent you. But, back to saving your soul...who can represent you, while not being a throwaway vote and not embarrasing you with your friends. Have you looked into Gary Johnson? Have you? "Wasn't he that Republican that quit early?" Yes, he dropped out of the GOP race. "He wasn't bad, but I didn't really hear that much about him in the campaign." Yes, you sure didn't. He doesn't have Mitt's advertising money...so he ran an old fashioned campaign with his record (which he is proud of), and not bashing the fruntrunners...but challenging them to be compared to a real conservative. "But I'm still throwing my vote away, he's a libertarian and can't get elected." If you vote for Mitt, and lose...you have sent NO message to Washington, except that you are willing to give your vote to anyone they prop up if they lose an election every 12 years or so to a radical socialist...so basically, you are HELPING democrats by not forcing the process to embrace TRUE conservatives. You want to waste one vote, or your ability to ever vote for a respectable candidate? Up to you, but the upside to this election being Waterloo for the establishment, is that it can turn the tide of the WAR on America in favor of true conservatives...and isn't that what the Tea Party was all about? Throwing out the bums, and giving Americans who care and are representatives of US a chance? Well...time to put up, or just get in line and take it. This is the moment our Founding Fathers KNEW would happen, and they set up our system to allow us, YOU AND ME, to take back our government...and it takes courage. Join that fight, say no to STATUS QUO. Abandon the party that has abandoned you, and make a stand. It has to happen, and it will. The question is, do you want to help sink the ship while there is still time to save it, or do you want to join the fight for freedom.
Personally, I just wanna shove those words Harry Reid uttered, so far down his throat. We aren't done, we aren't quitting, we are just getting started Harry...you ain't seen nothing yet, and YOU won't see what happens next until it is too late. Revenge and Tea...are best served COLD.
