DING DONG THE SWITCH IS DEAD



Obama learned little from his 2010 “shellacking” as he campaigns to donors for money to return Nancy Pelosi to Speaker of the House. That ship has sailed, that house has fallen and outside of a small group of Nancy groupies no one wants her to hold a gavel ever again.

The President won his re-election in 2012 but it was not a landslide, not a mandate and the country has not embraced Obamacare or socialism as the President wants to assume.

In fact, Obamacare is more unpopular now than it was when Nancy made the famous brainless statement “We have to pass the bill to know what’s in the bill.” Well Americans don’t have to re-elect Nancy Pelosi as speaker to know what kind of Speaker she is, she is a discredited voice on every issue facing the nation.

Her arrogance coupled with her witless prescriptions for everything from more stimuli for the economy to her new campaign for universal child care. Americans are not foolish enough to be fooled again by giving Nancy the gavel to reconcile (force) her loony liberal socialists programs down our throats again. 

Obama’s failed Sequestration campaign and his current attack on America’s 2nd Amendment rights is exposing his political fallibility based on his mythical belief since his re-electing that the country has changed. The truth is not that America has changed as much as the American political party system still generates more hype than hope.

By Obama promising (more akin to threatening) the American people to a return to the good old days of Pelosi as Speaker he reveals his own misinterpretation of the nation’s sentiments. Pelosi is not just the poster child for the still widely unpopular Obamacare but even Democratic voters rejected how the Speaker made the sausage in the backroom that gave us this one-sided piece of legislation.

Equally, since she was in the spotlight for the healthcare legislation even the low-information voter that may have been ignorant before 2010 now know and equate Nancy Pelosi’s name with obtuseness and arrogance.
The Scott Brown campaign centered on the voice of the electorate wanting defeat of Obamacare to put Nancy Pelosi and those supporting that legislation to a halt. When Brown won his Massachusetts Senate seat he was lauded as the one Senate vote needed to kill the Healthcare Bill.

We all remember the anger, and incredibly disheartening news that Nancy Pelosi was going to use reconciliation, a parliamentary procedure intended to speed up the legislative process when all sides agree to legislation except for funding discrepancies or reconciliation. However, she was well aware that the Healthcare Bill did not fall into this category or was anything close to unanimous in approval.

Undeterred and with complete disregard for more than half the electorate in dissent she pushed this boondoggle legislation down America’s throat. The 2010 election was a repudiating of her Party’s tyrannical defiance of the Will of the People. 

Apparently Obama’s 2010 shellacking had little effect on his governance as he has continued to pursue a political course and discourse as partisan and as tone deaf as ever to his responsibility to be President of all Americans not just his liberal party. His appeal to his donors to return a one-sided partisan Congress with none other than the woman who asserted that Town Hall voters protesting Obamacare were anti-American is in a perverse way a help to his opposition.

If conservatives need help to rally the base to win congressional seats in 2014 then the President just helped the cause. Even the low information voter attention can be easily revived by “Look, you don’t want Pelosi back in charge do you?”




Of course in staying with my theme perhaps an hourglass and a wicked witchy cackle laugh would make a more successful foreboding image to the 2014 electorate. I and many Americans will not allow Pelosi to be able to ever say again to us “I’ll get you my pretty”.

PHEW PEW FINALLY A POLITICAL STAT CONSERVATIVES ALL KNEW


Recently the Pew Research Center conducted a study to determine the political party knowledge of voters by a 13 question quiz. They requested the voter’s party affiliation, their age and their educational background.

First Pew established that Republicans were more knowledgeable about political parties than liberals regardless of their formal education. Two the study found that Republicans were more open to criticism than their liberal counterparts. Three the study found that liberals only enjoy the company of other liberals while they banish friends that do not agree with their political views.

The results were not really surprising to conservatives who have long known that being a conservative comes with the price of being marginalized by the left-wing controlled education and media establishments.

Conservatives have been painted by liberals in an aggressive long standing erroneous campaign of character attack by the Democratic Party. They have painted the opposition Party members as dumb, (Hillbilly under-educated) obstinate, (religious zealots) and judgmental (moral police).

Therefore although the results may anger liberals who are more likely to castigate the study as bunk, conservatives know the ring of truth in the study’s findings based on the many antidotal experiences they have had with friends and family.

Why is there such disparity between the two political party views that transcends from a differing opinion into a character distinction over the realm of knowledge, self-examination and acceptance of opposing viewpoint?

Let’s talk about the finding by the Pew Research Center that shows that Republicans are more open to criticism.

Independent thinkers are taught to not fear the truth and to keep their minds open or otherwise truth becomes both elusive and self-serving. Many traditional stories and adages teach children that reliance on information un-sourced and un-substantiated is no more than a fools truth and or belief. Equally truth is as easily misinformed en mass as it can at times rest only with a few.

Americans were once routinely taught not to believe the so-called truth of gossip, hysteria, popular opinion, or even the rationalizations of their own egos when it comes to seeking the truth.

Conservatives believe that if the foundation of an argument is capricious, weak or contains dubious facts then as critical thinker you must acknowledge the feebleness of your opinion and concede it to be unsettled.

Liberals argue using antidotal evidence, theory, popular opinion, government statistics, and the views of influential people as factually proof that they were feed to believe in our educational institutions. Knocking down those beliefs is considered an affront to their core creed of their liberal religion.

Conservatives separate religion from politics when it comes to debating a political issue yet conservatives know that religion and moral conscience teaches you can never separate your character and values.

The third finding of the Pew Research shows that liberals need to flock together. Why? Well if you viewpoint is filled with flaws and you can’t defend it with intelligent argument you resort to the safety of like-minded fools. You also run away from sane arguments in order to avoid introspection that might find you wrong when you want desperately to save your delusional world view.

Conservatives don’t abandon friends and family just because they hold a different or wayward view. That is because they are secure in their point of view knowing it is based on facts and reality not theory and postulation. They are truth seekers willing to follow the truth to where it leads.

There is a reason that as citizens age they become more conservative in their opinions and it is not just that
they are afraid of the retribution of the after-life, but rather that experience teaches them the truth and the folly of liberal ideas. Ideas based on falsehoods never stand the test of time.

Many conservatives know that a large portion of the Occupy Wall Street crowd will age, pay taxes (we hope) and grow up to moderate their childish, selfish and myopic baseless viewpoint. Yes there will be a portion of those that will be recalcitrant and become the “established” left-wing activist of the future like Bill Ayers.

Yet, like everything in life you cannot rid society of all its “useful idiots”. There are fools born every day as the saying goes but we always know that reality and truth is powerful. Experience will keep slapping you upside your head until you learn and there is no escaping common sense when it is staring you in the face and taunting you when you ignore it.

LET THEM PLAY IT OUT!

The conservative battleground in the primary has been playing out like a football playoff game. Anybody who regularly watches the NFL is aware that the Pittsburg Steelers were favored to beat the Denver Broncos in the first round of the AFC title playoff game.


Moreover in the NFC the top seated Green Bay Packers were considered a shoe in to be in the Super Bowl. Yet, despite these teams being better on paper than their opponents they went on to defeat rather than victory.

Only the New England Patriots survived their top seated placement in the AFC surprising their loyal fan base that worries then and now about a shaky defense can’t hold a close game lead. It is arguable that the Baltimore Ravens lost their opportunity to beat the Patriots not just because of the inexcusable missed punt but because they fail to make the plays they needed to win.

Romney has been talked up as the frontrunner in the primary by all the pundits declaring that he and he alone will be able to beat Obama and win a plurality of delegates both in the primary and in the general election.

Gingrich was thought to be the underdog that would be forced to drop out long before Perry, Cain and Bachman because of a laundry list of reasons.

Like those picking odds in football the quarterbacks, player matchups and coaching are all analyzed by the sports world to make one team the favorite and the other team the underdog in the Super Bowl.

Green Bay, New Orleans and Pittsburg were all favorites yet they all lost showing once again that no matter how expert and logical may be your opinion you never know who wins until the game is played.

There are just four GOP candidates left to battle in the States vying for 2488 delegates. To date prior to the Florida primary a total of only 58 delegates have been parsed out among the candidates. The Primary will essentially be called when any candidate receives 1,144 or more to claim a victory.

Florida has 50 delegates up for grabs and if Romney had won Iowa and South Carolina a number of political pundits were surprisingly suggesting that he would be crowned not only the front runner but all other candidates should concede.

Once again the so-called expert odd makers are as wrong about elections as football. Romney not only lost South Carolina to Gingrich he lost Iowa to Santorum. New Hampshire has 10 delegates; Iowa has 24 and South Carolina 23 with some states being awarded bonus delegates for a number of reasons such as voting for a Republican governor last election.

However the delegate award is different in different States with some States like Florida being a winner takes all while other States are splitting their delegates. The point being Romney is currently not the front runner and even if he wins Florida he will still be far from a delegate count that presumes him victory.

Sports odd makers and analysts make their living talking about teams and making their picks to win a game based on their knowledge yet unlike political pundits they know that ultimately their expertise means nothing.
The game must be played on the field.

Political pundits however are far more arrogant and infective of the primary process when they spew their predictions. They are trying to influence the vote, discourage the upset, peddle their choice to the public and manipulate the electorate’s desire to vote for a winner.

The South Carolina primary was dispositive of three major changes in the “Party politics as usual” that tries to corral the public into the pen of the Party’s choice for a nominee.

One, it simply did not work. Their so-called “electable” candidate was soundly rejected by Carolinians. Two, the GOP pundits had help from an equally corrupt political influence peddler, the liberal press that threw old dirt in the air on Gingrich days before the ballot. South Carolinian’s said “who cares?”

Three, one of the biggest changes that the Tea Party Movement has made in the political world has been in educating the voter. This electorate is smarter, savvier and refuses to be told whom to support and whom to reject by the GOP, the Press or even each other.

The public understands that in the primary this is their only opportunity prior to the general election to support and vote for their candidate. They are rightfully ignoring the electability pessimism prediction.

Romney has not received the most delegates so far but has received the most endorsements by GOP party elites. Endorsements have always been debated as to their effectiveness in winning over voters. They seem to be of dubious value when coming from outsiders not running and have only marginal success from those who drop out early in a race.

Endorsements seem only to have success when the primary tightens up and a popular candidate decides to drop out and throw their support to the current leader. We are far from any concession speeches by any of the four remaining candidates.


Romney, Gingrich, Santorum and Paul have yet to win or lose anything close to a right to claim victory or a need to concede. Even after the Florida winner- take- all 50 delegates primary that will change the current leader board whoever wins cannot claim anything more than being 50 delegates richer.

The remaining primary candidates have many States races to win and many other hurdles such as fund raising and organizational issues to contend with but electability is not among those obstacles. All four candidates are as electable as they continue to gather delegates or not.

Obama was never considered the frontrunner early on in the Democratic
primary race of 2008 instead Hillary Clinton was the presumptive candidate to beat and we all know how that expert political pundit prediction turned out.

TEA AND SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL

Once again Americans are being manipulated by the liberal media and by politicians into believing that anti-Americanism is American tradition? In the Press's twisted logic the Occupy Wall Street crowd of socialists along with a number of American hate groups are being compared to the Tea Party Movement.  Moreover the Occupy Wall Street socialists are apparently more deserving of sympathy than law abiding Tea Party Movement patriots who have been called everything from racist to terroists.
It has been long charged by conservatives that liberals always want to “blame America first” for all and any ills that affect our Country or the world in general.  Now with Occupy Wall Street Kabuki theater the ultra left has gone further to exposed their true agenda intention for blaming America. Simply; they hate America and all for which she stands.
They hate her capitalism. They hate her Constitution. They hate her flag waving. They hate her Judeo-Christian values. They hate her Bill of Rights except for the rights they want to cherry pick out in order to use to their advantage. They are against the 2nd Amendment wanting to strip guns out of the hands of citizens but they idolize the 1st Amendment that they utilize to demonize America.
The Tea Party Movement conversely LOVES America and has seen the minority of left-wing socialists abetted by corrupt Republicans grow a tyrannical Federal government that has been eating into our individual liberties slowly but steadily for half a century.
The protests of the Tea Party movement have not only been peaceful, respectful, lawful they have been politically successful in changing the discourse in Washington awakening a vast swath of otherwise silent Americans.
I will grant unfortunately that there are millions of Americans not plugged into what goes on nationally or even locally as their heads are buried in their egocentric world of dispassionate ignorance of politics. Most don’t vote and those that do have a wealth of naïve and sometimes childlike reasons for choosing their representatives using the “Eeny-meeny-moe” technique.   
Constantly swinging  the pendulum from left to right because there is a pox on both political parties has given the American people both gridlock inaction on reforms at best and greater government tyranny at worst.
Finally the average American being ignored and disparaged by a snubbing and intrusive federal government decided to wake up and come together to try and wrestle back the power intended to be in their hands per the Constitution.
They realize that the tyranny they were facing was reminiscent of the hold King George III had over the colonies prior to America’s revolution. The first act of notable defiance by the colonists born by the growing despotism of the King’s edicts was the Boston Tea Party. The name was adopted for its analogy to today’s kinglike control of the federal government over State and individual citizen rights.
The intent of the modern day Tea Party Movement is to use the same methods that the two party politics have used against the voter for years, divide and conquer. First, rid the government of as many Democrats and ultra left-wing radical representatives as possible in an election cycle, while equally replacing corrupt Republicans in primary elections with constitutionally loyal candidates. The 2010 election was a success in the House, not so successful in the Senate but widely successful in awakening Americans that change and reform is possible if we use our collective will.
More importantly its membership is not as important as is its growing sympathy throughout the country for its sane rational message of smaller, honest and constitutionally faithful representation.
The Occupy Wall Street protests on the other hand are filled with America “haters” that decry capitalism, private ownership and want to be handed wealth out of marxist's logic that one man’s gain is another man’s right to claim or commonly referred as redistribution of wealth.
Worse however than being a group not organized under a simple ideologically banner of socialism the Occupy Wall Street encampment is riddled with every selfish tantrum of egocentric leftist demand that contains no plan of achievement other than to camp out and scream invectives.
Will they go home when the snow starts falling in the north and head to warmer squatter’s lands to the south or will this group of Soros backed useful idiots turn violent?
Regardless of what becomes of Occupy Wall Street one thing is sure, they don’t and won’t occupy the average American’s sympathy for their hating cause and they won’t grow and attract responsible citizens given their connections to Nazi and Islamic brethren in solidarity.
However, most importantly Americans are not as dumb as we might look at times, as we always clearly see through all the haze of liberal media’s magical distortion of otherwise clear lines between righteousness and just plain wrong.
 To compare the Tea Party Movement in any way to the Occupy Wall Street is as opposite as heads versus tails, right versus wrong, good versus evil, patriotic versus traitorous, law-abiding versus lawful, American lovers versus American haters and God fearing versus devilish atheism.  
Just as every cop is a criminal, and all the sinners saints, as heads is tails just call me Lucifer cause I’m in need of some restraint... Pleased to meet you hope you guessed my name.” (Rolling Stones)

WE ARE ALL INDIVIDUAL INDEPENDENTS

A short history of American Party politics would reveal that Independents are nothing new in the political history of this country. The first Independent voters to break away from the Republican Party that was supporting James G. Blaine in 1884 and threw their support to the Democrat Grover Cleveland. They were called “Mugwumps” from Massachusetts American Indian’s Algonquian language meaning “kingpin” and implied that Independents thought they were “Holier-than –thou” in their rejection of Party politics.
There has been a long period (too long) period of American apathy and cynicism regarding politics in this Country that has led to greater corruption both in State Houses and in the Capital building in Washington. Equally the rise of the independent voter referred to today as the “Swing Vote” has benefitted both the Republican and Democratic Parties in winning Congressional Power.
However, both the “Mugwumps” and the new “Swing Voters” have not been successful in either changing the two Party system or forcing less partisanship in Washington or in the State Houses. In fact, there is a good argument to be made that they have increased the pandering of politicians to take “middle of the road” positions in order to swing the Independent voters their way. The Republicans march away from the right toward the middle and the Democrats march away from the left toward the middle and after the elections they march right back to their Right and Left camps respectively.
Those that make the declarative statement that they vote for individual candidates and not Party loyalty are kidding themselves that Party Power can be altered or changed. Equally, the call for “Throw all the Bums Out” clearly has created more cynicism and less voter participation in elections making voter turnout in America abysmal and shameful. New immigrants to this Country from Countries that do not give them the right to vote are appalled at the apathy of Americans who do not vote.
There is also a problem with registering as an independent voter in this Country, for in order to participate in the primary vote you need to register and declare a Party to receive a primary ballot. One should note that it is in the PRIMARY elections that one’s individual choice of candidate becomes most vocal and effective in changing the political dialog in both State and Federal elections.
Regarding Party loyalty and a blind faith support of Party over candidate in the General elections? This too has historical precedence in the election of Ronald Reagan in both 1980 and 1984 when Democrats voted in record number for his election. In Fact, it could be argued that a vast majority of those Reagan Democrats left the Democratic Party and became Independents rather than join the Republican Party.
Where does this leave us today? Today, American’s are finally realizing that sitting on their election hands, and not voting, has not worked. Voting for a third party (Ross Perot) has not worked. Registering as an Independent and swinging the pendulum back and forth has not worked. In fact, it has lead to an even greater level of corruption and cynicism on the part of politicians to manipulate the American voter.
Enter the new era of the TEA PARTY MOVEMENT consisting of Democrats, Independents, Republicans and newly registered voters angry at the deafness of Politicians, the despotism of the Left-wing co-opted Democratic leadership, the shredding of Constitutional rights and freedoms and the corruption of moneyed special interest buying legislation loopholes in Washington while the Average American citizen is ignored and disparaged.
The American middle class has been required to shouldered the tax burdens, (Tarp, Bailouts, stimulus) regulation burdens, (Healthcare Mandates) atheist war on Christianity burden (Prayer out of School and Public Square) American values burden (Judicial Nullification of voters on Marriage law) College cost burden (too rich for tuition cost help not poor enough for tuition cost help) Job and entrepreneur opportunity burden (Union extortion and Vast over regulation) protection of property and equal justice burden (Border States overrun with illegal workers, imported gangs and drugs and exploding social services costs afforded to non-citizens) a war on individual Freedoms burden (Congress, Executive and Judiciary Branches all deciding, altering and tampering with the Bill Of Rights which was a list intended to BAN Government involvement PERIOD!) All adding up to the passing of the Torch Burden giving hope to the American Dream or nightmare as to what we leave to our prodigy?
The TEA PART MOVEMENT is an Independent movement but unlike the failed grassroots political revolts of the past we are NOT going to be Mugwumps, swing voters, or third party idealists that see our cries for change be co-opted and or marginalized by those wishing to change our EXCEPTIONAL, PROVIDENTIAL and HISTORIC METEORIC rise among nations be destroyed.
Do not be fooled or foolish to believe that the enemy has not clearly taken a side in the Two Party system and resides fully encamped in the Democratic Party of today. This is not the Party of John F. Kennedy nor even the party of Jimmy Carter this is the party of Radical Socialism that wants to change our Equal Justice to Social Justice. The Democratic Party and their current leader in the White House want to change us from a Republic and capitalistic Country to a European styled Socialist democracy.
Make no mistake America is in a clear political and ideological war in which the middle class will be destroyed first and permanently if the DEMOCRATS continue to be allowed to hold power.
This is the reason that the Tea Party Movement has chosen to throw all of its support to the Republican Party in the general election this fall on November 2nd. We are not foolish enough to think that the Republican Party wears the lily white hats! Not foolish enough to think that that party is not corrupt! Not foolish enough to think one election will solve all our problems! Not foolish enough to think they will try and use and lose us! Not foolish enough to think that they will willingly or miraculously grow an ethical Representative character overnight…but quite the contrary.
We have two party choices in front of us and while both are corrupt and deaf to Middle Class America one is the enemy of freedom and Founding principles and the other has failed to protect us on the battlefield of freedom. We must take the rag tag army of Republican Party cadets to Generals and de-commission the corrupt, re-train the rank and file, design the war strategies for them, remove the traitors and the deserters from the ranks. The Tea Party Movement must be like George Washington and lead these Republican troops back over the Potomac River to battle for saving and preserving our Republic.
We are all independent individual citizens in America but today as in all wars the battle lines are clearly drawn and unambiguous. Don’t act foolish or “holier than thou”, don’t sit on your hands or the sidelines. Stand up and choose. There are only two sides.
DEATH of the American Constitution, Capitalism and our Individual Liberty way of life=Democrats.
Restoration of Constitutional adherence free competitive markets and celebration of individual rights liberties and pursuit of happiness=Republican.

WHY JUST WHY?

AMERICA PLEASE ANSWER WHY?Why did you vote the Progressive Democrats into power?Why is the left so hell-bent on destroying our constitutional freedoms?
Why do they hate America and its capitalism?

Why do they seek to bring us to Socialism when it has been proven throughout history to be a failed and tyrannical system of government that has killed billions of human beings?

Why do they hate our Constitution?

Why do they hate private property and individual rights?

Why? I know that we can postulate a number of answers such as;

Human Secular and Political Correct education propaganda teaches our children less factual American or World history while fostering a social conscience rather than an individual conscience.

A hubris in the intellectual circle that reverently believes that in order to elevate and promote the evolution of mankind as a philosophical reality that they can re-engineer the notion that wars and poverty can be eradicated if their socialistic ideas are implemented to counter-act man’s nature.

They have attack religious beliefs that promotes fidelity to a supreme being (GOD) limited moral restrictions while promoting a growing gray moral arena blaming religion as the sole cause of wars and conflicts in our history preaching faith as the enemy to the intellectual.

Atheism is the new freedom that allows the society and the individual to indulge in guiltless behavior celebrating the notion that the real enemy is the moralist that condemns such restraint on natural human instinct.

A naïve but rigid adherence to the concept of equality without distinction or difference that touts equal living standards and equal benefits to all regardless of individual effort as being fair. Mystic belief that socialism will bring fairness to life. They have earned their wealth from capitalism and yet defame it as corrupt.

They contort our Constitution, as was designed to promote individual rights, private property and its celebration of pluralism instead teaching Social Justice, collective equality and a government's role to set policy for the people.

Those are some of the reasons but I still need to know why?

Where are the thinkers? Where are the academics to challenge these so called “humanistic” intellectual thinkers that tout socialism as though it was a new and nirvana philosophy? Where are the scholars to debunk the premise that social justice is freedom, is fair, is righteous, is compassionate, is enlightened, is novel and has not already been proven over and over in mankind’s past to be the bloodiest of all philosophies?

Where are the parents? Where are the School board members? Where are the journalists? Where are the writers? Where are the critical thinkers? Where are the church leaders? Where are the business and corporation leaders? Where are the rich who owe their vast fortune from our capitalistic system? Where have the Democrats of JFK gone?

Why are Americans voting for Progressive Democrats?

Why do you want to be ruled? Why do you want to be ruled and controlled by society? Why do you want a government that intrudes into your private life? Why do you trust big government over local and State neighbors? Why do you want a capricious cabal of leaders to determine your individual value and worth?

Why?

Why do you think that across America from Maine to California, from Minnesota to Texas there is a growing Tea Party Movement? Not a third party, not a radical group, not an activism for change but rather to stop this radical change that is destroying our America.

We want to Return to our traditional roots, return to our Constitution, return to our religious pluralistic founding, return to celebrating individual rights and return governance from Washington and back into the hands of the people.

Why are you afraid? You know you are with us? You see what is happening to your country? You know that your Great Grandparents, Grandparents and Parents loved and made their American Dream come true in America!

Why won’t you;

Stand up for them who can no longer speak, stand up for yourself and the freedoms you enjoy, stand up for your children and your Grandchildren for the America that will be theirs tomorrow! Stand up and stand with us by registering to vote and voting out the Democratic Party that has allowed itself to be co-opted by Progressives out to socialize us! Vote for the Republican Party who although fraught with some weak spines does not wish to alter our Constitution and betray its principles.

Vote in your local, State and General elections for candidates that will guard America’s freedom and founding. The progressive Democrats can only change her (America) if we allow them. When you do not vote you allow them! Please vote against them! Vote in all elections against them! It is easy, it is your civic responsibility and your children are counting on you!
Please America stop this attack on our nation!

Don’t let your grandchildren ask you “Grandma, Grandpa why did you let them change America?”

GOVERNORS CAN SLOW THE ENGINE OR LEAD WITH POWERFUL AUTHORITY!

Janet Napolitano silenced and stymied the conservatives in the State House by use of her veto pen for six long years. Oh but now, that there is a new Republican Governor the conservative agenda and conservatism in Arizona is growing.

http://townhall.com/news/politics-elections/2010/04/30/ariz_lawmakers_give_conservatives_plenty_to_cheer

 This new Arizona Immigration Law is just one of a number of new pieces of legislation the State House has on its agenda. In an un-intended way the Obama Administration has removed the hen guarding the fox house. By giving her office to Arizona Secretary of State Jan Brewer a strong social conservative Barak and Napolitano have both made Arizona's homeland more secure.

Jan Brewer has promised the Republican legislators that their conservative agenda priorties will be signed. Voters in Arizona are not just tired of the lack of Federal action on the border but equally frustrated at the flacid flip floppy middle of the road republicans that run on conservative values but play wish washy on the issues. Sound familiar Washington Republicans? What does this mean? Two things for us to remember until November;

 One; ( "all politics is local." Tip O'neill), we cannot underestimate or under-value the power of Govenor's races and State House races.

Two; by telling the candidates in our local State races that Arizona's actions are the kind of tough conservative stands we expect from our republican representatives, perhaps we will encourage them to take a stand,
On something...on anything and then stick to their...principles. (I bet you thought I was going to say guns? No...they can't be trusted.)
