Like a bad pair of underpants that stain the posterior, the liberal media bias is showing in how they treated the massively popular tea party. Michelle Malkin has more.

I saw the number of people that came to the tea party yesterday it was small by comparison to our population but it was only the top of the iceberg the bottom will hit at election time! Mark my word.

Unfortunately, the American people are pig-ignorant, forgetful, and downright stupid. I seriously don’t believe that the Tea Party successes (and they WERE successful) will be remembered OR capitalized on by any significant opposition to the dems in the next elections.
Remember: Nancy Pelosi’s Congress had a NINE PERCENT approval rating due to her blundering mismanagement and refusal to listen to the American people on the subject of offshore drilling alone. It dipped to 8% after she closed the House to go on vacation while Republicans tried (in their usual halfass manner) to open debate on the issue.
Four months later the Obamination was elected on a platform that was a carbon copy of Pelosi/Reid. The same policies that earned an 8% approval rating for Congress earned a 53% popular vote and the presidency.
The American people are stupid, forgetful, and pig-ignorant, I’m sorry to say. Worse, they can be easily bribed. Bribe tax payers by reducing their taxes (or claiming that you will.) Bribe non tax payers by telling them you’re going to increase taxes on someone else to pay for a special program for them.
‘Foop!’ That’s the sound of another majority vote sweeping Obama into office for a second term because, as Dark Helmet uttered: “Good is dumb.”

That’s why it’s up to you and me to make sure we don’t forget. The Revolution War happened because a small group of patriots worked and fought to inspire the people to take up arms in the interests of their liberty.
YOU need to be the Patrick Henry, the George Washington, the John Adams, the Thomas Jefferson of our times. YOU need to take it upon yourself to show the people around you the insanity of the federal government, the blatant violations of our most fundamental freedoms, and the inevitable result of their hare-brained schemes.
In Washington State, we have our Tim Eyman. That one man alone has done more to keep the government in check than any party. He has rightfully earned himself the scorn of statists from both parties. You need to be Tim Eyman! Make it YOUR fight for YOUR freedoms!

Hi Jonathan;
The funny thing is: I’m in Washington State! I live in Orting.
But I agree with you. This is really what “grass roots” means. It’s people like you and me, sick and tired of government sutpidity and writing blogs, calling our Congressmen (I’ve called Reichert once a week for the last four months to tell him to get off his rear and start acting like a real conservative for a change), and generally making enough noise that our elected representatives start representing us. (I also called Pelosi every day for three solid weeks to complain about her outright refusal to listen to 73% of America that WANTS to drill for our own oil in our own property.)
What ticks me off is the very real fact that Republicans not only aren’t conservative any more and are perfectly willing to spend just as much as democrats, but that they also can’t manage a campaign to save their dumb selves. (Someone needs to explain to me WHY the McCain campaign refused to bring Barry’s background into the campaign. An association with known anti-American radicals through his entire career should be made front and center public, not danced around and ignored.)

Yep, the people are mad as heck at the republicans and democrats. Reichert is no conservative. The Democrats do not believe in democracy.
We need to change the way we do business as voters. We need to dissolve the parties in favor of people campaigning on principles and issues. In today’s age, we can do this. People need to turn off the TV and start paying attention to the real people around them and start behaving like the freest people on God’s earth and not slaves to whatever some TV station thinks is fit for our minds.
You and I are hardly alone. I am sure a very significant part of the electorate are feeling the same way as us. I know from my work for the R’s in 2006 that a large number of them have already tuned out of party politics. We need to activate these people and get them to take over the system from the current way of doing things.

And of course, Jon, part of the reason that Barry is in office right now is the nomination that the Republicans picked. Sooner or later the Republicans are going to catch on to the FACT that the more conservative their candidates are, the more likely they are to win elections. Stop courting the moderates– all it does is make you seem wishy washy.
McCain didn’t bring a single democrat to his side with his “new and improved” moderate stance. What he DID to was convince a whole bunch of conservatives to stay home. 14% of the conservatives who voted in 2004 chose to abstain from the presidential election of 2008.
14%. Think that might have been enough to sway the decision? How about if we had a true conservative running who galvanized the voters on subjects like PREVENTING illegal immigration, actual RESPONSIBLE fiduciary conduct, DECREASING the amount of government in our lives…
That guy would win, and win handily.
Instead, the best we can hope for is that Michael Steele, chairman of the RNC (for no reason I can discern, since he’s not conservative) will send out an email accusing democrats of overspending– while blithely ignoring the overspending of the Bush years.
If Republicans had acted with ANY sense of responsibility towards the public dollar from 2000-2008, but ESPECIALLY from 2004-2006 we a) wouldn’t be in a recession, b) wouldn’t have a complete jackass in the president’s chair making it worse, and c) wouldn’t have watched the last checks and balances of the federal government evaporate with a leftist House, White House, AND a strong possibility that the Great Black Hype is going to nominate at least one and probably two supreme court justices during his tenure.
I’m thinking about voting Whig. I wrote in a blog in 2006 that I thought we should bring back the Whigs. Lo and behold, someone did. Google “Modern Whig Party” if you have time.

100% agreed!
The moderates will be swung towards the right when we have an effective spokesman for our ideals—the same ideals that build our country and made the country great. I don’t know why you think I’m trying to court the moderates any other way.
April 17, 2009 at 10:22 am |
Whups! no, I wasn’t accusing YOU of courting the moderates. I was accusing the general Republican party of attempting to do so. My grammar was inexact.
Sorry for the confusion.

That’s a relief. I was worried there that I was turning into one of them.
