MSM Neesd CPR: What Chrisite O'Donell means for USA

 How long will it take for the MSM to get it straight? 

The Tea Party is not some flash in the pan group of rag-tag, redneck rabble. The American people are done sitting idly by as their government defaults on their future andThe Tea Party Primary victories are neither the beginning nor the end of what is a mass movement to throw the bums out and honor our constitutional rights to speech, assembly, and most important, the FRANCHISE. 

Yes WE CAN vote, WE HAVE voted, and WE WILL continue vote and to sweep the floor clean of the dusty do-nothings that "govern" us.  

But the Main Stream Media doesn't get it.

 

Take Christie O'Donnell's win last night in Delaware over Congressional incumbent Mike Castle. "How did that happen?" That's what the MSM wants to know. You already understand why. It's for the same reasons that the same Tea Party story is playing out in New Hampshire, Colorado, Nevada,  Florida : because government is about the people and not about a party or an indefinitely ruling elite. 

But look at today's headlines: CBS - Christine O'Donnell Wins, and the GOP Loses | Dem Pundit: ‘Tea Party is Flesh Eating Bacteria For GOP’| O'Donnell win dims prospects for a GOP-controlled Senate

This is not the story that the MSM should be covering. It's not about the GOP. It's about the American people and what they want their government to look like - not what it looked like in the past. 

Now, I'm not saying that we should all jump on the bandwagon for any candidate that slaps a Don't Tread On Me sticker onto their bumper. It's necessary that we vet our candidates and do it well before we exercised our most sacred privilege and THROW THE BUMS OUT!

Republican Voter Caveat Emptor: CINO No-No

According to the latest GALLUP poll, Republican voter enthusiasm is at an all-time high:

An average of 59% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents have said they are more enthusiastic than usual about voting this year compared with past elections, the highest average Gallup has found in a midterm election year for either party since the question was first asked in 1994.

 

That is all well and good, but don't expect that to mean conservatives can relax and rest assured that a return to fiscal responsibility is the inevitable outcome of a midterm congressional change of the guard. Au contraire, my freedom frying friend. Do you recall the massive midterm massacre that republicans served up to the democrat controlled congress in 1994? Of course you do. You must also remember that the revolution's architect, Newt Gingrich, had promised many conservative reforms on day one in his "Contract With America" (e.g., slashing over-sized budgets, moratoriums on regulation, and new congressional term limits). But these reforms were largely unrealized. For example, 95% of the biggest programs that the Contract had vowed to cut entirely had a combined budget increased of 13% by the year 2000!

The anti-majority/incumbent fervor is cyclical, and although major, the backlash that we are seeing now is nothing particularly novel. What would be new would be for the professed conservatives who are elected to office to actually enact what they run their campaigns on once in their seats. Before you hit the polls in November, vet the candidates, and vet them well. Republican, Democrat or independent, I don't care what party the prospect is from, as long as they have a record of sound fiscal policy. We can't afford to repeat 1994 and elect a congress of CINOs (conservatives in name only). As you know, America is Greece on steroids and its time to get off the pill before it's too late to get out of the hole.
