I can't immediately confirm it but counties where Paul won are showing 70-80% voter turnout. IN A PRIMARY!

I TOLD you the giant is fully awake.
What they do, lock up the daughter and sisters and close the Stills?

Hey spidey got 2 questions for you and for anyone else who likes the platitude "we're taking our country back"

1. When exactly was the country taken?
2. Who exactly took it?

Just trying to get a handle on all the frothing about losing the country.

1. When Obama the marxist got elected and started appointing czars and taking over private industry and demonizing our very way of life - capitalism. "You've made enough money already"
2. Obama and the radicals he surrounds himself with

Care to answer that Spidey?

Nothing Bush / Cheney did even approaches the level of spending Obama is engaging in (though I agree they did a terrible job and increased government spending and waste), and Bush/Cheney never attacked the US healthcare system.

All/most conservatives didn't like Bush's spending. But you can't even compare Bush deficits to Obama's. Not anywhere close.
It's all well and good to fixate on the latest bump in amounts, but that is simply a diversion from the fact that Obama and Bush are parts of the same machine, carrying on the exact same destructive patterns of crony capitalism. So Obama kicked it up a notch. Guess what, if Obama and Bush's terms were in the reverse order we would be talking about how Bush is outspending Obama. In neither case does it make one fundamentally different form the other.

GOP is in minority because they can talk the talk and can't walk the walk when it comes to government. GOP cannot govern when given power to do so. The party ideals don't translate to reality. Purifying those ideals is not going to change that.

Neocon's diluted party ideals and had nothing to purify. They were polliticians and feathered their own nest. Licking their fingers sticking them up and seeing the wind change is not staying with core values. It's wishy washy and not leadership. That is why there is no Tea Party leader. They do not trust politicains. That in itself is telling.

More people still identify themselves as conservatives. So you are not paying attention. Most people believe in hard work gets you a better life. The Dems want you to rely on them. Look at Rand Paul's victory. Tray Grayson is a great guy that should have won any other year but due to the political atmosphere ushered in by BHO a guy who was shoe in and a pretty decent conservative got beat by an uber conservative (maybe) and by a LARGE margin. He can send BHO a thank you card.

Me too - just not sure spidey and his tea party friends are.

I knew where you were going, but wanted spidey to know a progressive is on his side, hehe, if it really is his side. I bet they may want big government to go after the return of the native American.

You'll notice Barrack didn't campaign for any of the dem candidates. Wonder why that is? Because when he does, they lose. BHO is the greatest motivator to get people to the polls, but not in the way he wants.

I like him. Just read his policies on his site, and I agree with a majority of them.

That's pretty useless information, sort of like, I drank the kool-aid Jim Jones offered me because I agree with the majority of his political views. It is the imbecility of political views that are in question, not how many imbeciles think this or that.

Heard news reports this morning that polls were running out of republican ballots! They weren't prepared for this kind of republican turnout. The tidal wave is coming. We The People taking this country back. Angry, disgusted and HIGHLY motivated.

Spidey seems to thinks he becomes some sort of sage by saying, "You'll notice Barrack didn't campaign for any of the dem candidates. Wonder why that is? Because when he does, they lose. BHO is the greatest motivator to get people to the polls, but not in the way he wants."

But earth to spidey, these are democratic primaries where the Prez is supposed to be neutral as dems compete with dems, but come the general election, Obama is a going turn into a very effective GOP basher, and the GOP's worst nightmare. Especially if the economy turns around and public approval for Obama gets better.

Right now Obama overall public support is around 50% and GOP approval is much less than that.

I hope that bastard does. He can go all over the country bashing the American way of life of liberty and prosperity. Will only drive people to the polls more as everytime he opens his mouth he pisses more of the country off. Keep talking BB, keep talking. Please keep running your mouth.

Stopping Obama is all we care about right now. We can stop his damage and willful destruction of this great nation. I've never seen people so excited to vote. All over the office people were making sure to ask everybody if they voted, making sure family and friends got out and voted and all the enthusiasm of "We're going to stop Obama, we have to stop him, NOW!".

People are no longer going to sit on the sidelines. And recent elections have shown that. The sleeping giant is wide fucking awake.

But you'll just continue to ignore all the elections where we've rejected what Obama is doing.

Obama Derangement Syndrome.

Like you, I was put down before I could reason and see I was lied to, but unlike you, I know it. So also unlike you, when I face my real enemy I don't do it with my head up my ass.

Sort of like the fate of every American Republican Palestinian. They take their kids and shove a cork up their ass feed them shit loads of food and send them into crowds of loving Democrats hoping to kill hundreds if somebody gives one of them a hug big enough to blow the cork.

Do you do it with your head up your gaping snatch instead?
