GOP OR DEMOCRAT. REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU CALL THEM, THEY STILL STINK.

The primary is over in Delaware. So....I put the question to you, what have we learned from this charade? Well, I don't know about you, but this is what I got out of it; politicians (more specifically; incumbent politicians) are about as trustworthy as an Arab Jihadist wearing a suicide vest bomb in a crowded market full of elderly Jewish people and little children. He will almost certainly push the button and KABOOM! Off to his virgins in the land of paradise and it's business as usual for the Holy War! So it goes for politics, business as usual.

What I have been trying to figure out though, is just exactly where do all of the players in this game of shenanigans actually stand? I was naively under the assumption that the Republicans would back the winner of a primary, for that matter they would back potential candidates as well. Not so, it seems. Watching this election in Delaware, it makes one wonder just who is backing whom and what agenda do they all really represent?

There was a time not long ago, when the Democrats were not really the bad guy. My parents being from the south were Democrats forever it seems, but the roles have changed drastically. For what ever reason, the Dems are now aligned with a radical bunch from the far left and the Republicans, who used to be a Conservative party are now in the same position that the Dems used to occupy. They have forgotten their Conservative base. This then is the crux of the problem. Their Conservative base is still a Conservative base. We haven't changed our values, they have changed theirs.

In my opinion, there is not one iota of difference between Republicans and Democrats. They all spew out the most vile rhetoric that I have ever had the displeasure of listening to. They do not represent me or my views and PBO is lost somewhere in Karl Marx land. Scary stuff.

~enter “THE TEA PARTY” ~

Average American citizens, who are now fed up to the top of their necks with the lies and spending frenzies by our duly elected public servants and for the first time in most of their lives, they are actually standing up to this and saying NO! They are now the most misunderstood and often misquoted, most maligned, chastised and cursed at bunch of violent renegade activist's that ever walked the face of the political arena. How dare they even be allowed to participate in the election process. What gives this bunch of hooligans the right to interfere with the age-old process of electing an official into office? They are clearly all too dumb to understand what is at stake here. Right?

Mike Castle a ninth term incumbent in the US House. One of the ruling class elites, has been dethroned by a commoner; Christine O'Donnell! Backed by those repulsive “TEA PARTIERS” and that indignant Sarah Palin and criticized by politicians and pundits from both sides of the fence, she now faces an election that will ultimately prove the average American's disdain for POLITICS AS USUAL.

When the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) announced that the GOP's fundraisers, would not support the Tea Party's favorite candidate in the upcoming November 2^nd election, I just about popped my cork. Although they backed off of their original statement, it was too late for me. They let the cat out of the bag, they showed us their hand. Just where is their allegiance? The same old tired policies and the same old worn out bureaucrats.

It looks like they would get the message. America is in the middle of an up-rising of sorts. We are fed up with failed policies and politicians that believe they know better than us. Passing sweeping legislation against the will of mainstream America, is a precedent that not long ago would have been unheard of in our Government.

In their zeal for total control of the American way of life, they left one tiny detail out of their agenda. US!

In November, all of the incumbents, Republican or Democrat will be reminded just who signs their checks once again. Apparently they need a reminder. Do your civic and patriotic duty, VOTE! Show them that defy the peoples will, the door. Show them just who the “TEA PARTY” really is!

~ Reagan was right ~

“ Ours was the first revolution in the history of mankind that truly reversed the course of government, and with three little words: ‘We the people.’ ‘We the people’ tell the government what to do, it doesn’t tell us. ‘We the people’ are the driver, the government is the car. And we decide where it should go, and by what route, and how fast. Almost all the world’s constitutions are documents in which governments tell the people what their privileges are. Our Constitution is a document in which ‘We the people’ tell the government what it is allowed to do. ‘We the people’ are free. This belief has been the underlying basis for everything I’ve tried to do these past eight years.

But back in the 1960s, when I began, it seemed to me that we’d begun reversing the order of things—that through more and more rules and regulations and confiscatory taxes, the government was taking more of our money, more of our options, and more of our freedom. I went into politics in part to put up my hand and say, ‘Stop.’ I was a citizen politician, and it seemed the right thing for a citizen to do.

I think we have stopped a lot of what needed stopping. And I hope we have once again reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There’s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: As government expands, liberty contracts.”

~ Ronald Reagan, 1989
