The “symbolism” of tea parties cannot replace the solidification of the conservative/free market principles.
The “idea” behind tea parties and the like as a foundation of action or movement towards the 2010 mid term cannot hurt. Were we two weeks away from the mid-term election and if the “silent majority” were just getting around to mailing tea to D.C., I would say that we hadn’t learned anything from the ‘08 election.
The impact of the “Free liberal 527″ known as the “impartial” media must be taken into account when looking to forward the next conservative “leader”. The media immediately seeks to place the “fringe” or “extreme-ist” tag on any conservative, (May I say, to those in search of the “conservative leader” that “Mitt ain’t it”, check his record.) therefore “time” is on our side. Time allows the liberals to be.. Liberals. They are proving their liberal provenance with their handling of this economic downturn.
I have said many times that despite the liberal carcinogenic touch, the environment and the economy can overcome the leftists meddling.
Here we have the potential for that process to occur, the economy taking two years to survive the various “stimulus packages” and bailouts, at which time simply by occupying office at the time when the economy begins a solid upturn, they will claim that they have worked their magic. (If it stays on the downside, “The economy that we inherited..” becomes the mantra.)
Then their incursions which have actually retarded the process for recovery actually gets credit from the liberal 527/media for the “miraculous recovery”..
The free market can outlast the liberal urge to inflict collectivism. Timing therefore is everything.
In about 18 months if things haven’t appreciably improved, watch for the habitual “move to the center” economically. It is conveniently temporary, a three-cent “tax cut”, etc.
Here’s the liberal plan: Those who endorsed and approved of the mess will throw around trillions to those who created the mess and everything will be better. No accountability. No oversight. Then recovery.. Were that to transpire, that would be the proof positive that the economy is a self sustaining entity with enough antibodies to fight the liberal virus..
No one has the experience in the administration to handle these matters and the vanity of the President himself appears to stand in the way of “asking” for the proper help.
If the economy survives this Obama nonsense it will be IN SPITE of it, not BECAUSE of it..
ANYTHING that consolidates the conservative cause will help. ANYTHING that brings the silent majority into the conservative camp will help, as long as the goal of 2010 is kept in focus.
“Cousin”? Cobber, you rate much higher than that, but keep in mind that a cousin is still “FAMILY”..
