There's a moral here for the tea party but I'm not sure exactly what it is.
Michelle Malkin: Take Your Olive Branch and Shove It, Democrats
"No compromise" is exactly the message that un-American Americans delivered to Washington this campaign season:Posted by Vanderleun at November 3, 2010 4:06 AMNo more compromising deals behind closed doors.
No more compromising bailouts in times of manufactured crisis.
No more compromising conservative principles for D.C. party elites.
No more compromising the American economy for left-wing special interests.
No more compromising transparency and ethics for bureaucratic self-preservation.
Let us be clear, in case it hasn't fully sunk into the minds of Obama and the trash-talking Democrats yet: You can take your faux olive branch and shove it.
Thank you.
"There's a moral there....."
Don't chew the scenery?

It will take a lot more purgation for any real change to come out of the cesspool of DC. 'Bongo is symptom, not cause. He is Final Fruit of White Guilt/PC/Moral Devolutionary Cultimulcheralistic Insanity. Look no further than CA. It should be forced into secession, since we now know the will of Reconquista recon forces.
Given the general lack of 'nads evidenced by the metro RINOP [can you say Linda Graham ?], the rise of conservative women is inevitable. No surprise.
Posted by: OhioDude at November 3, 2010 8:53 AMWe got in this mess, in part, by people seeing what they want to see rather than looking coldly at the facts and reaching the obvious conclusion. Most famously the Obama voters saw a moderate, radical, racial crusader, racial healer, Marxists, moderate depending on the fantasy of each voter.
Now the conservatives risk seeing righteous indignation galloping on horseback through the shady deals in D.C. Don't let the strong desire to win at smash mouth politics convince you that our side will play smash mouth politics. These are Republicans, they will be looking to cave-in before the opposition has even decided what they want from the Republicans.
Remember all of those episodes where people said "If the Republicans were smart they would..." or "If the Republicans want to win they will..." The Republicans did precisely the wrong thing and preemptively surrendered almost every time. The Republicans with few exceptions are timid followers that want to be loved by the media. They'd rather switch than fight. The price of liberty is eternal vigilance. We have to monitor them without mercy and convince more Americans to believe and act they way we wont. The politicians will only do the right thing when there is no other alternative.

I agree completely. Now you know what we who are conservatives need to do for the next 30 or so years? Easy: show the politicians that now is when there is no other alternative than to do the right thing. "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty."

Ronnie did not; thats why he used the VETO once a month - 96 times. owardice and compromise both start with "C" coincidence?

The Republicans threw down their weapons but the Tea Party kooks shot back.
