An "Unexpected" Ally
As much as I've started enjoying writing NON-political stories again.............and WILL resume........sometimes ya just can't "pass one up!"
I'm not taking the time to go back over all the paragraphs of drivel and rhetoric, and it really doesn't matter WHO said it, but when I wrote about Maxine Waters getting on Obama.......then a couple of days later she told all of us Tea-Partiers where to go"..........one of our bloggers asked me something to the effect of, "how did I feel now about my "new hero (or hero-INE)...........?
..............JUST GREAT! She probably just helped SEALED THE DEAL for us next year.
Clueless as usual, the left has never taken the time to check out their "enemies." If they HAD, they'd see that the Tea-Parties are NOT a tool of the Republicans. Fact is, I'd be surprised if more than 30% of the partiers ARE GOP.
I have marched and rallied with some of these people, and you'll see more INDEPENDENTS, Constitution Party and Libertarians, than you will Republicans. I've even marched along with a few DEMOCRATS, as strange as THAT may seem.
Maxine looks at CNN as do MOST Dems, and when she sees a tea-party rally somewhere, I doubt that she realizes that for every ONE of those "flag-waving terrorists" she SEES------there are 200-300 MORE that she DOESN'T see, throughout the other 49 states. When you see the tens of thousands demobstrating in DC, there are 20 or 30 times that number of people who COULDN'T be there.......some in wheelchairs and walkers.....and due to the distance itself.
The Libertarians, Constitutionalists and all other Independents------------these people are commonly know as "SWING VOTERS"----------you know....the ones a president CANNOT get elected or RE-elected WITHOUT these days.
And she just stood in front of the whole nation and told the tea parties to "go straight to hell!" Not a real smart thing to do when you're gonna be NEEDING these same people next November.
If you study human behavior at all, Ms Waters' physical gesture and voice inflection also reflected the early signs of "panic" and "desperation." Like in the middle of a domestic disturbance where the husband or wife gets so flustered, that's ALL they can think of to scream at each other.
More people catagorized as "swing voters", make up the tea party membership than any other group, including the Republicans.
They are "Independents" because they don't trust the left or right. They are Libertarians because they don't trust the left or right. They are Constitionalists because they don't trust the left or right.
They march with the tea-parties to show their support and desire to turn this country back over to the PEOPLE, and because they are SICK of this "business as usual" garbage.
You'd have THOUGHT the left would have learned SOMETHING from last year's "shellacking." Nope.......sixty seats later, they STILL haven't heard the voice of the people. A combination of "arrogance" and "Ignorance.".......just keep TAXING, SPENDING and NAME-CALLING, boys...............your time is coming!
Reid & Pelosi called all of these groups NAZIs
Obama accused them of "holding the country hostage"
Biden called them "terrorists"
Now Waters tells them ALL to go STRAIGHT TO-------------
We've had OUR political women called whores, sluts, bimbos, Palin's daughter was being "knocked-up at the ball park", etc......
And I want to address something right here and now. Many of us on these blogs......INCLUDING ME.......have gotten over-zealous in the heat of the moment and gotten into some name-calling and labelling...........but NOT MANY people in this country have ever heard it, except for the ones who happen to read the Mountain Home blogsite.
But when you hear Hollywood celebrities.......with viewing audiences in the hundreds of MILLIONS.......and the ELITE of Washington-----(you know---the ones who are supposed to set some kind of EXAMPLE for the young people in America.....spewing out this crap.......how can ANYONE have the respect to continue to support them?
"NAZI"------Senate Majority Leader plus the House Speaker
"HOSTAGE holders"--------the President
"TERRORISTS"--------the VICE President
"WHORE"-------Governor Jerry Brown
The "B" word, "slut and Bimbo"------Joy Behar(the View)
Letterman & Mahar---seem to keep a running tab going on week-tp-week.
You don't hear that kind of language and other nasty vile venage used by any of OUR "elected elite", do you? But as long as it's against some CONSERVATIVE (particularly the WOMEN).........the Dems always get a FREE PASS from the media (except FOX)
Ok.....Obama is called a failure and a socialist by the upper tiers...............at least THAT isn't VULGAR and humanly demeaning.
If Jay Leno had made some sort of "knocked-up" remark about one of Joe Biden's daughters when HE was campaigning......NBC would have FIRED Jay the very next morning! But NBC is a liberal network, so Letterman still has a job-------again, and again, and again, doesn't he?
Our side at LEAST has enough PUBLIC respect, and common DECENCY, not to spew vulgarities at YOUR politicians or try to DEMEAN your women............THAT is in EXTREMELY bad taste.
And ONE of our women hasn't even been a THREAT in THREE YEARS now!.........your people need to GET A LIFE!
But to wrap this up.........yes, Maxine Waters IS a "new ALLY of ours and she doesn't even know it. She just slapped a HUGE contingient of voters that helped put her party over the top in 2008.....slapped 'em right in the face! NEXT year she's gonna have to explain to all of them why they should VOTE for the leftside!
In 2012......they're most likely going to tell HER "where to go"......and take a lot of her friends in congress WITH her.
In the meaantime......just keep right on talkin' sweetie!
