Jim, you know who we’re up against. You know their history and the pedigree of their ideas. You know what a monstrous, bloody trail people like this have left over the last 150 years or so.

Why on earth would they allow the absolute power they crave to slip from their hands over a silly little election?

Why would those who hold our laws and our founding principles in such utter contempt and hatred suddenly find respect for them?

They’re just beginning to see that it might just all slip away - literally the work of generations. They’er not going to shrug their shoulders and walk away.

These people are monsters. All of them.

Well, the way I see it we’ve got two more shots at it. In 2010 and 2012. If we don’t have a nearly 100% turnover in these two election cycles (well, we’ll have to go to 2014 to get the rest of the treasonous senators) we’re going to be beyond the point of no return. If the statists and progressive socialist/fascists are still in charge after this, well, the defense of American Liberty via the ballot box will have failed. America will be up for grabs.

And here's the real problem: It's not JUST the politicians. It's the entrenched staff. It's the government agencies. It's the people that got comfy government jobs. It's the their friends and relatives. It's the whole apparatus of government that has been growing and growing. Voting out individual politicians sounds fine. But the bureaucracy is still there, entrenched. Dug in. It's not going anywhere. It will take massive government layoffs. It will take elimination of entire programs and departments. But it's not going to happen because every politician has been part of this apparatus and it's all they know. All their friends and family are part of it. If they're not part of it when they get to Washington they become part of it. Washington is a feeding trough and our money is the swill they feed off.
