is gonna "reset" in November.
It's gonna be remarkable. The stars are aligning for a GOP renaissance that will make Newt's "Contract With America" only a historical footnote. I've been on ths planet a half a century and I have never sensed the level of utter indignance and disregard for the bunch now running this country. Just wait and see.

"Without opportunities on the part of the poor to obtain expert legal advice, it is idle to talk of equality before the law"-- Justice Chas. Evans Hughes
I agree, but I'm sure you know that's not enough for me. I'm a big picture, earthshaking reform kind of guy.
But yes, I will be relieved to a degree.

You better hope the candidates you put forth are center right. There is just as much disdain for the core running the Republican party right now as well. Independents are going to decide this election and tea bagger candidates are not going to do it.
Metaphors be with you!
Every person who says "teabagger" is an idiot regardless of what else they have to say. God forbid people try to figure out who they are talking about before they sprack off.

Yeah, right. I'm a center right independent, and I can't figure out what that whole movement is about since taxes have actually gone down. If they can't espouse a more intelligent argument, they deserve to be made fun of. The Republican party is not what it was when I was a strong member (Reagan years). Put up a candidate that can get the economy moving, help fix the deficit and not ignore the reality that this country is going bankrupt. Both parties are to blame for this going back 40 years.

Either your memory is very short, or you don't know enough people outside the buckle of the Bible belt (I'm guessing it's the latter). The left-leaners of the country were pretty damned pissed off beginning with the election debacle in Florida in 2000.Originally Posted by Okla-homey

We have always known that heedless self-interest was bad morals; we know now that it is bad economics. FDR.
I wonder what you think characterizes a "tea bagger candidate".
Put a lid on it! Kiss it goodbye. We gave it away, and apparently thought it made sense to do so.
Totally agree with this.

I think we might be in for some wild swings from one side to the other over the next few elections. Both sides have their "straight party" lever pullers (or card punchers, markers, etc.) but most of the swing votes in voting public seem to be pretty reactionary or apathetic.
I already know of some of the younger voters in the last election who were all wound up about Obama become disillusioned with the entire political process rather quickly because they thought everything would "be fixed" overnight...especially with a Democratic majority. It just showed how little they knew about politics and the fact they are part of the short attention span society. I think many of them will probably turn apathetic by 2012 and end up not voting which would help the Republicans who will have their own revitalized swing voters by then. Both parties are perceived to be at the extremes of their respective parties which really makes the swing voters more critical for the win.
We'll see...
Republicans have a way of friggin stuff up just in time...
You know, like a scandal of some sort.

The reason you see mixed messages is because this tea party thing is not an organized political establishment. It is a political groundswell based in fiscal conservatism, thereby consisting of (R)'s,(D)'s and (I)'s. When this changes the tea party is useless. That's why I personally like the Beer Party

I wonder if we could get Shiner Bock to run as a candidate.

At least I'm not Jersey Sooner.
I think the republicans will win back the majority in congress, but I don't think it will be 1994. I just haven't bought all the indignation in the past year as something that isn't coming almost completely from folks who voted for the republicans last time. I don't see how their going and voting republican again is going to change things so radically.

The GOP better get on the correct side of financial reform imo--not gonna win many votes cozying up to goldman sachs. 2012 deficit implosion no matter who is in power tho
Let me see your war face!!
it's what they were calling themselves for a while, i'm not about to stop calling them that
The GOP shouldn't get a damn vote this November and I hope some independents really mix things up. The Republicans threw one of their own (Ron Paul) under the bus who made the most sense and went with McCain. Yeah...

What you mean is they have a way of not defending themselves vigoriously enough against communists, er, I mean journalists that dont mind fabricating complete crap for a political purpose 3 days before a national election. Dan Rather is no longer effective but there are plenty of others to lead the sheep to the pasture.
Socialism is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
