    Put a teapartier in there and lets get this train rolling.

    I'm not keen on crossing tea parties with GOP. My guess is we're going to find while there are crossovers, in general their ends are very different. The GOP is not for less spending, just different special interests. I don't think the GOP can be reformed.

    Me either. I'm hoping the teaparty morphs into a completely independent political party that overwhelms the GOP and makes it irrelavent. The rino's are no better than the libs in my book.

    I agree. What I see in the tea parties, from those I associate with and what I've read about others, is that overall there is general consensus on shrinking government at all levels; paying down deficits; reducing the government intrusiveness in all aspects; resuming Congressional responsibility in declaring war; curbing executive ability to wage undeclared war.

    From those points there is a mix of social conservatives, non-social conservatives, moderates, and more libertarians than currently influence either party. How to herd all those cats? Principles of government and economics would be my guess.

    The Peasants are pissed and on the verge of burning down the Castle. This transcends Party affiliation with the disgust of Government incompetence, abuses and complete disregard for the rule of law.

    People are waking up and I'm only hoping that it's not to late ........ But I have a sinking feeling that it is along with I don't believe the people are willing to do what it takes to do what is necessary.

    From the article:
    "During Steele’s tenure, Republicans picked up 63 House seats in last month’s elections, the biggest gain in more than seven decades."

    What a joke. I bet Steele actually believes that crap. As was said before, Steele had nothing to do with Republican gains. If anything, Republicans gained seats DESPITE Steele who spent most of his time sticking his foot in his mouth.

    Sure bet: Steele gets trounced.

    The Trifecta: Steele gets trounced, defects to the Democratic party, then blames Republicans for his loss because they all hate black people
