I am disappointed because they have not listened to the Tea Party folks. However I can work to replace them which will give courage to folks to continue what the Tea Party folks started. I am not worried about losing the House but adding more folks with courage to do the right thing.

The tea party, which happens to represent my feelings
more then any other group, has been trashed and marginalized to no end.
The sniveling red diaper doper baby Marxist refer to them as teabagers, as in the sexual sense.
This is why I am thankful that I am retired and able to live far away.
I fear that MY America is finished.
The Communist media and Republican turncoat leftist are pushing us over a cliff as fast as they can.
I’m not worried at all about this poll, in January 2012 from a liberal polling firm. However, we will lose our advantage if we don’t control the message. The way to control the message is to make it straightforward and easy to communicate. This, fortunately, is not that difficult, but I’m not sure we’ve got the right people on point to do it.
The message needs to be about freedom. That word should be used over, and over, and over again. It needs to be pointed out to the public example after example after example of how their freedoms have been eroded.
From a social perspective conservatives need to emphasize a message that is consistent with the general theme of freedom. They need to point out that it is the left, and not conservatives who want to dictate to the rest of us how to live. They need to point out that although they champion free expression, and aren’t in favor of ‘banning’ anything, they believe in safe havens in society that protect the innocent, including most importantly the innocence of youth. They need to point out that the entertainment industry has lost its way to such an extent that parents can’t watch television with their children anymore without fear of what they might be exposed to. They need to point out that we have mortgaged our children’s futures in multiple ways - - by letting labor unions/teachers unions dictated policy to parents and school boards, by letting the entertainment industry act irresponsibly, by spending the nation into unprecedented debt.
These are just part of the things that the public is concerned about, and that we can use to discredit the left. I would also push the issue of freedom of choice in medicine. The list is long. I would also appeal to national pride. Make no mistake, the crashing of helicopters in the desert and the impression that the rest of the world didn’t respect us anymore played a big role in getting rid of Carter. A new ‘morning in America’ message, with a plan behind it to make it credible, would be well-received I think.
I truly believe that many people on this board could do a better job articulating an exciting message than many of the politicians we have out there now. It appears to me that they have become so encumbered by their attempts to find the right ‘form’ for their campaigns that they have forgotten that they need to concentrate on ‘substance’ and articulate a clear message.
