What we just witnessed is almost the exact equivalent of what happened between 1763 and 1775 just before the American Revolution, as Americans protested the British government foolishly trying to impose taxes on Americans to pay for the cost of the Seven Years' War that ended in 1763. Only this time, thanks to modern communications technology (especially the Internet and cellphones that can capture audio and video), the protest spread at lightning-fast speeds and Democrats didn't realize what happened until way too late.

As such, there's a good chance Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi will lose her position, and there's a chance that even Senator Harry Reid--Senate Majority Leader--may not even get re-elected! Watch for big fight on who the Democrats will select for their Congressional leaders for the 112th Congress. And don't be surprised that there will be an attempt to depose DNC chairman Time Kaine, too.

"The Republican Party directs a lot of what the Tea Party does, but not everybody in the Tea Party takes direction from the Republican Party. And so there was a lot of, shall we say, Astroturf, as opposed to grassroots," she said. (2/28/2010)

Monumental stupidity from the third in line - that is the Democrat brand.

Just proves that one person CAN make a difference, and that regular folks, not just the political elite, can stir the pot, shake things up, and make a difference that produces results.

The deliciously funny part is that these folks who are reporting can only see a tiny little tip of this gargantuan iceberg.
