Last spring, one of the Tea Party groups in Houston discovered that there was one heavily D precinct that had ten times as many people registered in that precinct than in the average precinct. A check by the authorities discovered lots of bogus registrations
This group provided multiple poll watchers for almost every precinct in the county. For the first time in years, there were no stories about suspicious things going on.
Bless 'em all!

The Tea Party didn't give Rick Scott the primary win. $50MM of his own personal funding bombarding us Floridians with nasty negative ads is what did it. Scott isn't evan a real Tea Party candidate, granted, he did receive much support from their ranks due to his opposition of Obamacare. Here's the highlight of a one I got in the mail last week. As Attorney General, McCullum hired anti-gay activist George Reker as an expert witness while fighting to stop a gay adoption ---> turns out Reker was a closet homosexual himself and traveled throughout Europe with a male escort he found on Rentboy.com ----> McCullum therefore supports gay prostitution. Well maybe that's not verbatim, but it was clear that's the message he was trying to send. It was the second worst negative ad I have ever seen.
His affiliation with the Tea Party was a savvy (perhaps brilliant) opportunistic play on his part in the primaries. He now needs figure out a way to not gloat in the face of the Florida GOP establishment, create a way for them to save face for 100% of them backing McCollum, and hire a moving van to transport his household goods from his $15MM mansion in Naples to his future home in Tallahassee because his Democratic opponent Alex Sink doesn't stand a chance.
Not only did Scott take it. His entire cabinet also went Republican - Attorney General, CFO, AG Commissioner. On top of that, a super majority for the Republicans got voted in the state legislature. Scott can push through any legislation he wants, now maybe the state can "Get to Work!"

Now the House Republicans can keep Obama from turning America into Sweden. Instead, their policies - high unemployment, low wages, more tax cuts for the wealthy, drastic cuts in social services, and diminished regulatory oversight of big corporations and banks - promise to turn America into Honduras.

Of the two states I commute between there is a lot more hope for the future of Florida.
I wouldn't be bit surprised if a big winner in Tuesday's election turns out to be the new Florida AG, Pam Bondi. She is very intelligent, photogenic, and is a rising star in southeast Republican circles. The Republican party is in desperate need of attractive new faces who can speak without embarrassing themselves. Whenever Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachmann open their mouths, it's usually quickly followed by a baritone spokesman apologizing to hispanics, slant-eyed asians who are bad drivers, Quackeoodle Indians and Thumper the Rabbit.

An understanding of the fundamentals of economics would reveal to even the most idealistic of our liberal friends that socialism will never work. There is abundant evidence of its failure all over the globe. I recommend Thomas Sowell's excellent book Basic Economics. It should be required reading for every high school student. An understanding of economics is important to many aspects of daily life. That Congress has so little understanding of basic economics results in the most woeful economic policies. Instead of being dominated by lawyers the government would be better served by economists. (FWIW, I'm an enginner, not an economist.)
Although the Republicans squandered their last chance to reverse some of the policies that are destroying our country I'm hopeful that the Tea Party influence in both the House and the Senate will bring about some welcome changes back toward what our country was intended to be.
I suggest that those who wish to transform our republic in the image of some other country would be better to relocate to their chosen utopia because many of us want no part of that.

One thing that history teaches us from real world examples is that when the government budget gets too big, it chokes off free enterprise. The latter is the engine which hires people. Most people are hired at small businesses.
Let's look at those real examples.
Which period of time in the last century had the worst depression? Surprise, it was not the 1930s. It was actually 1920-1921. That depression was measurably sharper than the one under FDR. The question is - why was it over with so quickly?
Here is why. During that more severe depression, the government slashes government spending. IT worked like a miracle!! The worst depression of the 20th century lasted less than two years.
Now, let's look at the depression under FDR. He did the opposite, along with the Democrat congress. Government spending went way up. That took money away from the free market. Government is extremely clumsy, at best, when trying to set itself up as a marketplace (for our own good, of course). Government has no "feelers" when it comes to knowing what to do as a replacement for a free market.
FDR's handling of the depression of the 30's was inept, as the economy stayed abysmal until just after WWII. It got so bad under FDR, that we had the Crash of 1937. If FDR were really all that great a guy, why did we have a serious crash four years after he took office?
Back to the President Harding years, the government did so much better, because it did the opposite of what FDR did, and what Obama is now doing. Obama is copying FDR, who failed, instead of copying Harding, who succeeded. Regardless of which party one belongs to, common sense would tell us that using the successes of the past is the best way to go. Why imitate the losers of the past?
So, Obama and Congress have two different roads to take. The successful one, or the path of failure. Obama is such a radical partisan, he is self-required to take the path of failure.
One has to wonder why he doesn't simply read some history and say something like, "Ohhh, it says right here in this history book that if Congress and I slash government spending, the economy will be restored quickly." However, he won't do that. His partisanship dictates that we must wallow in the same failed policies of the past.
Further, Obama is following the same failed policies of Bush -- wars, bailing out influential companies, and upping welfare spending.
Of interest is the fact that the Fed is monetizing our debt and government spending. Even this, which was the opposite of what happened in the 1930s, has not helped Obama. This is even more condemning of Obama, and the current Congress.
We need a government that is limited to what the Constitution says it can do. That alone will open the flood-gates of financial well-being to the average person. It did in 1921, and no theory has been developed that has worked better since.
The laws of economics are not that variable. Use them correctly and accurately, and we'll have a recovery, and not a cover-up of what is the truth of our desperate financial conditions.
The days of spending money just because someone came up with an idea in government will be over, either voluntarily, or by force of bankruptcy.
"If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy."

Warmskin, I totally agree! You have your true facts directly in order.
The Tea Party's muliplex groups have largely taken over the Republicans. and some of them will stay independent until 2012. With a possibilty of a sequel featuring the same Democratic leadership leaders Obama, Pelosi and Reid, I think the movement has plenty of steqm yet.
The gigantic turnover of nearly 800 seats in state legislatures to the Republicans, and gaining control of both Houses in an additional 20 states is another major step to shifting the course of the United States. But only if the popular side continues.

Hannity did the same thing, and donated far more money, but Fox couldn't care less. Why am I not surprised?

It is a mystery to me why MSNBC would find it necessary to have a policy preventing its employees from making donations to their political friends.
It is also mysterious why anyone would think that FoxNews should have such a policy.
There's a lot I don't understand about the left, but I've learned to live with it.

Let's do a little disclosure here:
1. Olbermann was fired as a Fox sports caster by Rupert Murdoch in 2001 and been on the attack ever since. Personal vendetta? who knows, but how often does he disclose he was fired by Fox.
2. MSNBC has no problem with political donations as long as they are disclosed to management in advance for approval. MSNBC employees made political contributions all over the place, but Olbermann thought the rules of his employer didn't apply to him and sought no such permission, thus he's suffering the consequences.
3. Hannity doesn't fill in for news anchors. He's a commentator and pundit and everyone knows it. Olbermann tries to play both sides and claims he reports the news. That's why he's getting busted for this, and that's why it is different. He works for "NBC News" and not the cable channel "MSNBC"
4. Fianally, let's not be naive about all this. It's about money, advertising dollars, and ratings. Do you really think Olbermann would have been suspended if his ratings were anywhere near O'Reilly or Hannity? No way they would have suspended him if he was bringing in the viewers. His ratings have been in a free fall for a year and these paltry donations are just an excuse to crack the whip on him. It's not about the donations at all! Ethics at MSNBC, Paleeeeeeeease!!!! In the 8:00 p.m. time slot Fox beat MSNBC 3:1, and beat them 4:1 in the 25-54 year old demographic.

It's a good idea to get your information from multiple and diverse sources. But I've learned that if FoxNews isn't in your information stream, there's a lot you won't know about.
