The upcoming “Republican tsunami” is made up almost entirely of the Tea Party. The GOP is poised for huge wins in November, true enough, but you might notice that a lot of these incoming Republicans are new faces, not the usual pack of old RINOs.

You don’t suppose the Tea Party has been running candidates under the GOP banner, do ya?

Smaller government, lower taxes, more personal liberty — gee, the Republicans sure sound a lot like those crazy Tea Party radicals!

Oh ... wait ...

I really do think the internet has changed things.

I used to be the crazy bastard that yelled at the TV when lies where spoken.

Now people hear me.

Now people get their news through the internet, they blog and converse.

In the olden days they could be isolated By the MSM AND PAINTED.

That just isnt true anymore.
FR is a prime example. Dan Rather will attest to that.

It will have a greater impact on humankind than did the invention of the printing press 500 years ago.

Look at the election of 1860— they didn’t get a majority— if the Democrats hadn’t been split—there Civil War might have been avoided.
