WHAT YESTERDAY MEANT

When the Tea Party movement began about 18 months ago, the so-called "elite media" basically told them to "sit down and shut up" with Katie Couric famously calling us the "great unwashed middle" of the country!

But as Michael Goodwin writes in the New York Post:

Nothing short of a revolution. That's the only way to describe the public upheaval that took place yesterday. Nancy Pelosi has been fired, the Senate is far more balanced and President Obama was resoundingly rebuked. Republican governors could control upwards of 30 statehouses when the smoke clears. That's what you call a consequential election. As predicted, the explosion of government cost and the economic slump were the driving factors for voters. The results immediately reinvigorate the checks and balances inherent in the two-party system and bring a needed dose of fiscal sanity to Washington and the states.

It was evident from his news conference today that the President doesn't understand what happened yesterday. He still thinks he's in control of the world he sees around him. Unfortunately, he is afflicted with a severe case of reality myopia! The American people, for whom he works (this is the part he never understood - he works for US, not the other way around) resoundingly rejected all of the Obama agenda, particularly Obamacare. We rejected Barack Hussein Obama's administration and all its works. We rejected socialism. We rejected the manipulations of such as George Soros, Andy Stern, the SEIU and ACORN. We voted YES to American exceptionalism and we voted NO to apologizing for our country's magnificence.

Now let's get back to work and start to rebuild that which 20 months of a trifling popinjay have wrought!

BET YOU THOUGHT WE LIKED YOU!

As of 1/1/11 - a LOVELY date to be sure - we will no longer need to be subjected to the preening, overly botoxed and supremely self-satisfied face of Rep. Nancy Pelosi. Thanks be to G-d! You brought this on yourselves when you displayed your complete and utter disregard, even contempt for the voters who are your employers.

It is my great and very real fear, however, that John Boehner won't be a whole lot better. Granted, he's younger and better looking than Pelosi (by a LOT) and he currently seems to be hearing what the Tea Party and other Republicans are saying about growing down the size and intrusiveness of the Federal government, but in the end, will he really act on what he's hearing.

My feeling is that his fellow majority members will make sure that he behaves in the manner we expect from him.

Congratulations to all the winners. You've run the race and achieved your goal. Now let's see if you can govern!

MY RESPONSE TO ALL THOSE LIBERALS WHO SAY THAT THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA IS BIASED IN FAVOR OF THE RIGHT WING!

Now I could just say "bullshit" and be done with it. In fact, I have done so. Succinct, accurate and somewhat pithy!

However, Politico has now broken the news that George Stephanopoulos of ABC News (formerly of the Clinton White House team) is conducting private, daily phone briefings with Rahm Emanual (BHO's chief of staff), as well as Paul Begala, James Carville and pollster Stan Greenberg (all of CNN and also former Clinton staffers - those cockroaches never go away, do they), I had to post about this egregious dishonesty, not to mention the unconscionable crossing of journalistic ethics lines. Absolutely irresponsible behavior on their parts. Particularly since they then present themselves on their various television shows as unbiased, nonpartisan journalists! HUH?!

If Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity or any other moderate or right-of-center had conducted themselves in this manner during the GWB White House years, the kvelling would have been heard on Mars!

Write to your Congressman and Senator and tell them you are sick of this kind of behavior. Let them know that we are aware of their flaws.

The 2010 election will be here before you know it. We have the opportunity to divest ourselves of Botox Pelosi and all her ilk in the House of Representatives. Start seeking and developing alternatives NOW!
