    what all of us tea partiers need to be doing from now until 2012 is working on cleaning up the voter registration books in our areas and getting ourselves elected to our local school boards.

    The Democrats have been able to manipulate the vote in cities because of welfare kings and queens. They have bankrupt city after city, seeing the businesses and employees leave for better and safer places to profit, work and live. I am always amazed that those on welfare just don’t get it. Things will not get better with Democrats in charge.

    Notice how they keep talking about red and blue. I did.
    I assume it is for this:
    Blue – the way some felt about P.Bush.
    Red – for th anger some people felt about P. Bush.
    Blue – for what most people feel about the elitist P.Obummer and his minions.
    Red – for what “WE THE PEOPLE” feel about him now and are gonna to to him in two years.
    I think I got the analysis the dim-o-craps are looking for done correctly.

    I’ve been saying this for some time in comments at “The Hill”. The two Americas John Edwards spoke of exist, just not in the form he described. The two Americas are rural and urban. Completely different values systems and approaches to life. I’ve lived in both and much prefer the country existence I enjoy now.

      Martial Law? I don’t know how accurate it is but it has been said the “Presidential Homeland Army” was built into the healthcare package. That came from World Net Daily, I think, so I not sure whether or not its accurate. Join now Mein Heir or be placed into a re-education camp.

      I have been thinking about how to deal with the “urban effect.” How about making congressional districts the counties within the states. THis way the cities would have one district one congressman and one vote. They would be unable to force their will on rthe rural areas of the state or the country.

      Sort of like the electoral college but on a state level

    I almost threw up when I heard Van Holland spout his talking points about how well the democrats would do one day before the election. He and Obama must have been smoking something from California since they both were “surprised” by the result. Obama seems to feel it was the way he presented his programs rather than, as I feel, it wasn’t the programs as much as it was HIM. He is unlikable, arrogant and a narcissist who becomes more unlikable the more we see and hear him read his speeches.

    “Still analyzing it” in plain english means the DCCC is trying to figure out where the light switch is since they are obvisously totally in the dark. Isn’t it amazing how blind a political party can become when they close their ears.

    I’ve warned for years that there will be another civil war in America. This time it will be between rural areas and big cities. The big cities have the numbers but rural people have them geographically surrounded and produce the food, etc. Also, rurals have the guns.

    When the total collapse of the USA occurs in 2011, we will unfortuantely see looting, destruction and blood. BUT, the rural people will win because by in large they will have the support of God because they have higher moral standards.

    So where’s the mystery? The vast majority of minorities are in urban areas. It would be interesting to see a geographic breakdown of those who depend on government handouts. I‘d wager you wouldn’t find anywhere near the percentages in rural areas that you would in urban ones.

      We the people want our country back but not for the reason most would think. I would like to see the blue cities be able to stand on their own without help from government handouts. I would like to see their children become educated (get rid of tenure and unions) and able to go to college. I would like to see manufacturing come back so more jobs will be available for blue cities and those who need them. Keep the faith, folks, and pray.

      But – there in lies the rub…this isnt going to end in 2012, it’s only the beginning.

      Remember the liberals had all but written off the Republican party in 2008. “Reagan Conservancy” was over – remember?

      Then a little thing happened called the TEA Party, which forced conservatives back to the voting booth in 2010.

      But the % of elegible voters is still abysmal…with conservatives outnumbering liberals by 2-1 in this country we should be killing them everytime at the polls.

      2010 was just the start. We have to be vigil for the rest of our lives.

      “Good rural folks” are at least as dependent on government handouts as city folks are. Without subsidies and price supports the sacred small farmer would have about as much chance of surviving as some kook screwing together cars in a blacksmith shop would have of competing with Ford. Leastways that what the folks with the fancy book larnn’ to be able to read numbers all say. They also say that cities pay more in taxes than they ever get back, because it’s not just where the neediest people live, it’s also where the jobs are and all the people who have money. (And yes, I know that most rural people don’t work on farms, just as most people in cities don’t work in factories, but when they shut down the whole community hurts – businesses have fewer customers, and people who still have jobs have to take pay cuts or go for years without getting raises

      My big brother told me years ago about an experiment that they did with rats, the scientists packed the rats into an enviroment equivilent to overcrowded inner city living of humans. The majority of the rats began behaving in manners that were unusual for them. Sexual deviance, violent outbursts, loss of thier ability to think clearly, maybe city living isn‘t all it’s cracked up to be.

      In the immortal words of Gomer Pyle “Surprise, Surprise, Surprise.“ It appears as though there are actual people living in those ”fly over” states and they vote. Democrats apparently think winning a few urban centers and the West and NE states is a majority. They found out differently and hopefully will be reminded in 2012.
