All across the nation, in most places, people are happy. I say people referring to conservatives. I don’t give any Marxists that title because I think anyone that wants to enslave you isn’t human.
With the exception of California and a few other areas, Americans are happy because WE THE PEOPLE have risen up and taken out the political trash.
In Virginia we may have once again gone Red State, but there is still lots of trash to take out and this fight is far from over.
The Tea Party can take a large part of the credit for the Victory nationally and locally. Victory is Sweet Tea! In Virginia’s Fifth Congressional District, We united behind Robert Hurt and he won. We knocked on over 2000 doors and in those counties had a great turnout for him. I’ve often said that if you Don’t Take Campbell and Bedford Counties you can’t win. Well, we did and he won.
It is time, once and for all to send the establishment (the GOP and the RPV) a message. “We may have been political novices when this mess was handed to us. Not anymore. We may have needed you, but as it turns out you needed us more, and now we know it. “
We want a seat at the table and now in many areas we are at the head of the table. If you are in Virginia’s fifth Congressional district we ARE the GOP and we invite anyone that was treated poorly in the past to come back. Months back we succeeded in taking back the Republican Units throughout the fifth. We welcome you to join us.
The RPV and Establishment GOP is on notice. Either sit down and eat with us or don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
We are tired of the lip service that is paid to “supporting the Republican candidate” which is nothing but code for “support OUR Republican candidate” as evidenced nationally In Delaware and Alaska and more recently here in Campbell County. [more on that in another post]
Some say I am to harsh. Too abrasive. Maybe. Though nobody can doubt my motives or my transparency. I supported the candidates. Including Candidates they wouldn’t support. I refuse to play softball with a bunch of people that are more concerned with their kingdom than with keeping the nation from going over the edge.
On the morning of November 3rd the GOP should have awakened to a new reality. To reach across the aisle is NOT the answer, unless it is to deliver a devastating political knock out punch. For far too long the establishment GOP has attempted to dance with the “devil” to the tune played by the democrats. The GOP has made every effort to “get along” with “evil” itself. The Obama administration, the democrats, and the band of collaborator republicans have attempted to make “evil” appear to be “good” and with this deception drain individuals of their God-given freedom’s and liberties. To shackle our children, grand-children, and innocent future generations with this level of insatiable debt is nothing short of diabolical. There can be no compromise with this evil. Those who surfed to electoral victory on the Tea Party tidal wave MUST understand they are NOT allowed to compromise on the core principles they proclaimed to have during their campaigns. ENOUGH ALREADY! As new congressional representatives will be shortly taking office I have a suggestion. We do not, as Obama has said, need to “compromise” because “compromise” is what has gotten us into this mess. No, gridlock is not a bad thing! You were NOT sent to Washington, DC, with a mandate to do anything other than SAVE THIS REPUBLIC, which salvation will not come by compromising with evil. It will only come by conquering it.
The statement that the American people sent to D.C. was not an us vs them, Dem vs Rep message. It was about issues. About Liberty.
The Tea Party is here to stay. We will be running many citizen legislators from here on out and we expect the help of the GOP. We have a strong message. It is the same one you have been shoving down our throats for far to long. “DO NOT CROSS US!”

Very nice post!
Watchdog, you nailed it!
Great article WatchDog!!!
I love that cartoon too: “Don’t even think about it.”
Any compromise will surely lead to a resurgence of liberalism, just like when you do not take the prescription of antibiotics and the bug returns stronger making you sicker than if you had not ever had the medicine to begin with. Our country has just had a big dose of medicine and needs a few more doses in 2012, ’14 and ’16.
This is the crux of this whole thing… and it is not just about fiscal conservatism – Republicans leaders must take the stand now for morality in all aspects of civil society and seek to bring about true conservatism by protecting the nuclear family (Marriage Amendment), defending the unborn (Life Amendment), and replacing Social Marxism and the threat of Islamic encroachment with Biblical Christianity (Religious Declaration Amendment).

Dead on! I think that what the Tea Party has to do to prove that it is here to stay and has what it takes to be a true force for liberty is to hold government accountable after that government is no longer soley controlled by the Democrats. If the TP is as tough on Republicans, if they face what Obama and the dems faced last summer when they begin to stray then there can no longer be any question about the seriousness and sophistication of these groups of people. The GOP will require a great deal of accountability, make no mistake!
Well, I certainly hope the LTP shows more inclination to “hold them accountable” than they did in the VA5 Congressional race. Their track record here was abyssmal. Lining up behind an mpty suit with no message other than “I’m not that evil Democrat. Here: read my bumper sticker.” And, furthermore, incessantly bullying and spreading falsehoods about the ONLY candidate who talked about the Constitution and Liberty (because he believes it to his core).
Nice job. In the 5th, you have no hope of holding our new representative accountable, because no precedent has been set for making such demands. He knows he doesn’t have to capitulate to the Tea Party, because the Tea Party has displayed, LOUDLY, their willingness to be the ones engaged in compromise.
Glad to see such tough talk NOW. Pardon me if I don’t hold my breath waiting for it to become action.
The Lynchburg Tea party did ALOT more in Campbell and Bedford to get Hurt elected than the local GOP units did by far.
