Well the TEA partiers are not real organized parties with a strong identifiable center of power. Their activism is more dilute and widespread, harder for the lazy RATagandists to detect.
His campaign platform certainly screamed TEAparty.
Fish, Our petitions may have stopped Light Rail in Portland. The planners of the boondoggle had a meeting this week to approve another $10 million environmental impact study which was the final approval of Light Rail through our section and green light $2-5 Billion in pork.
Unexpectedly the meeting turned to admitting they could not defeat our petitions or go around them and finally admitting they didn’t have the money. They tabled the decision until Nov to see how the elections go and likely have tabled it permanently.
We are the national model for transportation and are about to put the final nail in its coffin. The establishment is mortified.
Pray America wakes up
We still experience repercussions from the Carter Middle East policies and actions.
We will have decades of repercussions from the Obama Middle East policies and actions.
The reason the Greenies almost always win is because almost everybody else is busy working and not paying much attention.
Did you know that your congressman, Eric Cantor, supports amnesty rather than the Rule of Law? Don’t be fooled by his rhetoric or election time flip-flops. Any legislation that allows the lawbreakers, including children, to stay and work here is amnesty.
Cantor favors massive increases in permanent immigration and guest worker programs that will cost the jobs of Americans and depress their wages even further. He even wants to enable illegal aliens to join the US military and compete with US citizens and legal immigrants during a period of downsizing in the military. With over 20 million Americans underemployed or unemployed, this is a travesty no matter how he spins it. We don’t have a shortage of labor; we have a shortage of jobs.
Cantor does the bidding of his corporate paymasters rather than doing what is right for his constituents and our country. Cantor is no conservative. Shock the Republican Leadership on June 10th and let Cantor know there are consequences for his impending betrayal. Protect American jobs for American workers.
None of the major tea party groups gave a dime to Brat. They have contributed to other candidates around the country. They refused despite requests from the Brat campaign for support.
Cantor has been widely known in his district for being aloof and arrogant. He was one of the few Rep politicians who did not attend the VA Tea Party convention in Richmond several years ago. He was widely disparaged at the convention for being a chicken.
FYI: Over a year ago I had a one on one hour long briefing of Cantor on the immigration issue. He is doing the exact opposite of what I recommended. It is satisfying indeed to see him defeated, largely on this issue.
The GOP should use the Brat template on immigration. He went after the Chamber of Commerce and the corporate class and sided with the American worker. Brat wants to cut down the influx of foreign workers, legal and illegal, because it takes jobs away from Americans and depresses wages.
They have been around in one form or another since almost 2,000.their leader Abu Bakr al Baghdadi is described as a mystery man having perhaps several id's,like a bad movie.
They were almost destroyed completely but like herpes keep coming back. Today their numbers were estimated at 6-10k before they started taking over Iraq. No telling how big they are now.
Seems they are left overs from the Saddamm Hussiens Bathist party and have all kinds of war(terrorist style) experience both in Syria and in Iraq. With the 429 million they just stole in Mosul they can conceivably hire tens of thousands of fighters(when that runs out they get money from the Saudis and Qatar and probably Kuwait as well) to join their side. Evidently $600 per month hires a fighter in an area where Iraqi soldiers where street clothes under their uniforms just in case they need to make a quick wardrobe change and get the hell out of dodge.
If ISIS finds Sunnis that are not deemed sufficiently religious enough they could be killed in a heartbeat. They killed thousands in Tikrit alone. No telling how many were Sunni. This is a viscous group that uses car bombs intimidation,you name it sort a far more religious Haqqni on steroids.
You are welcome...we need to share fresh info with others...it seems the news media is out of the loop in the fighting due to the movement and violence of ISIS. Bits and pieces getting out but not current in real time.
For all this discussion about unity in the GOP, I have yet to hear Cantor say Brat’s name or congratulate him on his victory. Or say that he will support him in the general election.
They already have. Hillary used it to explain her successes at State and it’s been used to explain why there are problems in Iraq today. It seems the Bush failure to get the security agreement left 0zero with no alternatives.
Obama got out of Iraq on the schedule negotiated by Bush with the Iraqis. It was up to Obama to negotiate a SOFA. He really didn’t want one so he just didn’t press the case.
In Iraq it would have taken a permanent force of 30k a lot like Korea and al Maliki including the Sunni in Iraqi government. Neither happened so we got ISIS. All very predictable.
Yeah, where is that big tent speech about Brat? Aren’t we supposed to rally around our candidate like we did for Romney?
Where was Rove today?
