Every time I see your tagline I think of that ambulance chasing Ho Erin Brockovich.

That’s what I don’t get.
It seems that after Jan 20 2009, everybody left in this country with common sense started migrating to the tea party movement; everyone else is either pulling on a purple shirt or drooling in front of American Idol getting their news in 10 second promos.

Your posts are always dead on an so clearly written they pierce the shell of any contraveiling argument that may be made in opposition. I fully appreciate your long, thoughtful diary’s and share them with other members of my County REC Board whenever I can.

One last though – when are you going to be elected REC Chair in your County?

and definitely typical Hearst explanation. I think that Cal Jillison has gotten it right when it comes to this. Writers for the Houston Chronicle are a bit leftist than those at the SAEN(San Antonio Express-News).

The one thing that angers people more than conservative or not is the elitist attitude of top GOP officials who think they know how people in a state or a CD will vote beforehand. They really try to take away the opportunity for voters to measure the views of the opposing primary candidates themselves. It is this elitist attitude of top GOP officials to decide who is or is not electable that people are sick and tired of.

Some are beginning to wonder if the national GOP may have created something it can’t control.

The Tea Parties exist because people feel like they’re being ignored by BOTH parties…those of us who turned out in force last summer did so because we saw the Democrats running rampant with little or no opposition from the Republican Party….it is a movement born out of frustration at the lack of an opposition….not created by the Republican Party?

There is not a single congressman from New England in Congress today and the script they play from is that it was conservative intolerance that drove them out. Yet no one ever asks them exactly HOW conservatives have supposedly driven them out of existence…

When exactly did the conservatives in New England force their ideology on the local parties? What conservative candidates have run in New England and what moderate candidates have been thrown over the side to make room for them? what test of ideological purity has been enforced on the New England GOP that has caused this purge of any elected Republican Officeholder?

They’ve had free reign to pick their candidates for their state and local races! They have had free reign to shape their own messages in the New England states….they have had the latitude to get Republicans elected in New England using whatever recruiting, messaging, and advertising they wanted…they have been the determiners of the Republican brand in New England for decades, (never mind they’ve driven the message of the party since 1992. Look at the conventions headlined by Schwarzenegger, Giuliani and every prominent squish in the Republican party in the last 17 years). Whatever has happened on the national level…the left and right coasts have been the masters of their own destinies….and where are they?

but most importantly…given the dismal failure on their parts to hold on to…let alone capture a single congressional seat in New England how is it that not only are they not responsible for their favors…but that they are allowed to lay it all at the feet of conservatives that they trash at every turn?!

WHAT UNMITIGATED GALL!!!

You’ve got to love what my State Board of Education representative had to say about Republicans who disagree with her.

It is one thing to disagree, but her hypocrisy and rhetoric in that statement was beyond the pale. Fortunately, it appears she won’t run for election again.

because they really haven’t had any in years and most of the Dems that change to Republicans are in areas that are Conservative/Republican in nature.

So there is much chance of electing a Democrat to Statewide office(the Dems did do sort of well with a puffball candidate like Chris Bell). It never fails me that they think that current re-do is the Republican Part of Texas is a way to jump right in and win. No much chance of that happening.

Why are more democrats turning Republican?

http://wvgazette.com/ap/ApPolitics/200911060519

Mr. Obama has not turned into the gravy train the democrats thought he was going to be…..
More like the democrats are following the asses and shoveling up the crap they are dropping.

“If you are going to have a throw-the-bums-out (mentality),” said Matt Angle, director of the Lone Star Project, a Democratic group, “the bums (in Texas) are the Republicans.”

Really! One of the only states doing relatively well and this person laments Texas isn’t sinking like California.

It seems that we are doing thing to clean up those Congressmen/women/Senators that don’t seem to be conservative enough. That’s not a bad idea and it should work well.
