With the energy of the Tea Party movement at the local and state levels, this phenomenon will continue to grow.

Conservatives everywhere have known for years that the country was headed for an Obama-style dictatorship... we just didn’t know in advance which of the dicks would be the tator.

Now we have Obama and everybody knows.

I guess it took us to get this far for the average voter to realize what conservatives have known for years: the demonrat party is the party of dictatorship.

Swinging thoughts back to the Democrats (their miserable plight the topic of this news piece), seems to me that they'll continue to have capable candidates but they'll be coming at us more directly from the special interests that make up the Democrat party.

Instead of the "bought" representative who does the bidding of his masters in Planned Parenthood, we'll have one of the old bulldykes herself out there running as a Democrat ~ in the open.

I'm sure that's in their emergency fallback plan ~ we'll lose an edge in name-calling chits because we'll no longer be able to call them "corrupt", simply "evil" and "barbaric".

The GOP doesn’t have much time to stop this inflationary debt spiral at the federal level. We can’t have a 10-year strategy to balance the budget, it needs to be balanced this coming year.

I agree with you 100%. Im attending a meeting tonite sponsored by the T party groups..in BROWARD county Florida of all places. They are working on a plan to have a mass call/email/fax system during the next couple of yrs. Hits issues on local/state/Fed levels.

America is coming back..it will take a couple of elections but we are on the right track.

“We didn’t just beat them. We cleaned out their entire bench. Everyone they talked about running for Congress, governor, down the line. They’re all gone,” said Ryan Williams, spokesman for the New Hampshire Republican Party.

I think our NH party chairman John Sununu deserves tremendous credit for 2010's success.

The real advantage to the conservative movement is now in all those states that have Republican guvs and state houses a small army of ready campaign workers exists for candidates in future elections. The “Progressives” will have to build their own next time. Not that Soros doesn’t have the money but even his pit isn’t bottomless and it takes time.

Well, unfortunately two of the things that the Republicans need to do for the good of the country is:

1. End the ethanol scam. To avoid hardships to farmers who have been sucked into this, this should be done over a period of maybe three or four years, cutting back the amount of ethanol in gasoline year by year.

2. Cut the farm subsidies. Not sure if they can be ended entirely, but we have to stop biasing them toward the big factory farm/political contributors, and we have to cut them way back.

The problem with this is that the last time the Republicans tried this, quite a few years ago, they promptly lost all the midwestern farm states to the Democrats.

AT LEAST cut the ethanol scam, starting ASAP. I think even the greenies now understand that that was a stupid idea.

I’m not from NH, but I’ve found a new tagline-see below.

I love baseball and I love baseball metaphors. This one is perfect.

400-member state House of Representatives

400 for NH? The whole US only has 435.

Nowhere is the shift more apparent than in New Hampshire, where the GOP won all three federal races and picked up a record 124 seats in the 400-member state House of Representatives.

New Hampshire needs 400 state House reps ????? are you kidding me ????

That’s what I said. The state is no bigger than a borough of Alaska.

That's what I thought. That somehow removing democrats from offices took the insurance industry down the path of doom. LOL

Yeah, New Hampshire has 425 state representatives and only 24 in the state senate.

You can't go to the market without running into a couple of your state reps. That's not such a bad thing.

Oh yeah. We pay them $100 a year plus mileage.

ok...$100 a year makes that much more reasonable. Makes being a legislator more like a part time thing.
