Comments on: Nevada Democrat Party claims Brown is “in bed with tea party protesters”

Having just reread the Declaration of Independence which formalized the first American Revolution I was struck by the fact that the framers saw fit to “let Facts be submitted to the candid world.” These were examples of the Tyranny of King George. The tenth of these is “He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.” Does this remind anyone of our struggle to remove the tyranny of today’s bloated government?

It is fitting that what is obviously the second American Revolution has begun in Massachusetts with the election of Scott Brown and with the aid of the Tea Party.

Thom S. says: Well sounds like Nevada Democrats should start paying a little more attention to Tea Party Protesters.

Truth is, Thom, all politicians in this country had better start paying attention to the tea party movement. The Tea Party [an honest to God multi-partisan citizen protest movement that is not going to go away]protests are directed at just Democrats, but Republicans and Independents, Liberals and Conservatives, fools and Damnfools as well. Not just national office holders either, but office holders at every political level down to the state, regional, county, city, special board, and special district levels. There is only one thing that I can honestly say that I feel has been a benefit to the United Staes from Obama’s election and that is the suddenly blazing fire that has been set to the Silent majorities’ collective hinnie at the grass roots level. May it burn hot and long and severely singe every out of touch politicians butt from dog catcher upward to the very Oval Office.

new on the block and want some idea of what’as happening. Most specifically, want to know who Spiking is that he seems to monopolize the comments section. Is he the so-called moderator? Is he a liberal, as the drift seems to imply? Is he a concervative, as little though some might suggest? Just where do acrosss the political spectrum do you stand, Spiking?

Eric
The election has been called. Coakley has conceded. I believe it is important for us to keep the pressure on all of our elected officials. The message should not be just that we are not happy with the Dems but that we are not happy with ANY of them! What have the Republicans done to stop the trainwreck that is called Health Care? Nothing. What about Cap and Trade? Nothing. What about Card Check? Nothing. They all should be put on notice that WE THE PEOPLE are watching them and we will select our candidates based on conservative values and the U.S. Constitution. We will vote accordingly. The Mass. election is just be beginning.

Boehner: Well Nancy, what do you think about taxpayer approval of spending and instant runoff voting?
Pelosi’s face goes white.
Boehner: Anything wrong, Nancy?
Pelosi:
Boehner: I’m sorry. What was that?
Pelosi:
Boehner: Still can’t hear you. Gotta run. Got some work to do for the American people.

Let’s hope this is how it’s going down.

Polling estimate:

Taxpayer approval of spending/instant runoff voting 80%
Democrats 20%
Republicans 0

Just waiting on some more media attention and polling.

The house of cards is tumbling.

The latest from realclearpolitics:

American People: Start the debate on taxpayer approval of spending. Start the debate on instant runoff voting!
Congress soils themselves.
American People: We don’t care that you’re soiled. Why aren’t you acting!?!
Congress pukes.
American People: We don’t care about your upchuck. Why aren’t you acting!?!
Congress: We will no longer talk to the American people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
American People: Are you freakin’ serious!?!
Congress: ahubbadahubbadahubbada
American People: Action. Now.
Congress: I want my mommy!!!!!!!!!!!
American People: Action. Now.
Congress: Why me?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?!!!!!!?
American People: Action. Now.

Taxpayer approval of spending is easy as pie. Voters can choose to approve or disapprove all spending by Congress, for up to two years. They can change this default choice at any time, and they can override their selection for individual votes.

To qualify as a taxpayer, you need to have paid at least $200 in taxes last year. This could be payroll or federal income taxes. This number is not set in stone, and people will have different opinions about it.

Here’s a poll that shows who Americans trust: http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/ideology/62_hold_populist_or_mainstream_views

Thom, I appreciate your comment. My objection is to people who aren’t getting involved. Victory is at hand.

But we don’t need Republicans grasping power and blocking instant runoff voting.

@Spiking

I am not a rebel, I support change thru our existing republic and constitution.

Your rude and abusive behavior only disrupts intelligent discussion. I actually talked about IRV on this blog under: “Tea Party Patriots release statement against third party”, so clearly you are not even reading posts you are commenting about.

With your abuse towards this group I can only assume your tactic is to disrupt and distract intelligent discussion.

I agree that a third party would be counter productive

Nonsense and poppycock.

Republicans are commies. They’re blocking Instant Run-off Voting.

These desperate weasels are grasping at any straw of power they can find.

It will soon become clear that the Tea Party Movement will have more influence over the Republican Party than the Rs will have over those who consider themselves part of the Tea Party Movement.

All the Tea Party Losers here are afraid to talk about something as safe as Instant Run-off Voting.

taxdayteaparty.com “Tea Partiers” apparently don’t even believe in democracy. Buncha pinkos.
