#1 Read somewhere this morning that unemployment benefit applications is "higher than expected". Guess stimulous really does stimulate, unemployment that is. The politicians are Enroning all of America at warp speed...

#4 To give credit where credit is due, Rush mentioned this yesterday morning but it is a cautionary tale:
Watch for the MSM to start lauding the idea of the tea party candidates and third party initiatives at state and federal level. All the polling shows that it has a Perot-like effect and massively splits independent/conservative support and wins democrats seats they otherwise lose.
This is a monumental groundsweel time for America, with so many of our fellow citizens really shaken out of their slumber with fear and anger on where let have let the left take us. This is time to harness the righteous anger and energy, not waste it with internecine bickering among ourselves. We must send such a resounding message to these dangerous progressives that they skulk back under their rocks in fear!
If we don't, only something much more drastic and destructive remains as the way to preserve the union and our way of life! None of us want to go that way because we remember what the last unpleasantness cost the nation some 148 years ago.

#5 The problem NoMore is that the National Republican Party is right up there in bed with the progressives in most cases. ("We have to go along to get along" .... bullshit!) Just look at who they (1) nominated for President in 08.

(1) - That being the National Republican Party - being in a late-primary state I was not allowed to express my preference.

#6 We can have tea parties and tea party candidates, so to speak. IMCCEO (in my carefully considered engineer's opinion), it is important not to emphasize the political parties in a decision as to who to vote for. It is paramount to pick the individual who has the values that will make rational and ethical decisions as a representative. It is an end run around the existing parties.

#7 None of us want to go that way because we remember what the last unpleasantness cost the nation some 148 years ago.

Speak for yourself. You, may not want to go that way, but some of us have realized for some time now that that is the only way to go. The Giant slumbered for too long, only waking up at a point when the only thing that will succeed, is a massive slash and burn campaign. I view the Left same as I would Kudzu, and the solution is napalm.
