ANOTHER Palin-Backed Tea Party Candidate Defeats Incumbent RINO Libtard!

[Stop Making Cents]

http://www.delawareonline.com/article/20100914/NEWS/100914053/O+Donnell+rolls+over+Castle


Tea party-backed Christine O'Donnell has defeated U.S. Rep. Mike Castle in Delaware's Republican primary for the U.S. Senate.


The voted ended a 40-year run of election victories for Castle, thrown off track by a flash of conservative voter anger

I almost took offense to the "angry voter" description of Tea Partiers, but yeah, I AM angry as hell.

Anyway - commence with the flames in 3....2.... 1......

Let's hear how Palin is a neocon puppet and how victories like this over cap n'trade Republitards like Mike Castle won't make any difference at all.

Although I mostly agree that this country is beyond repair at this point, I still revel in Tea Party candidates kicking RINOs to the curb. Maybe.... just maybe the people are waking up. The pendulum is definitely moving in the right direction anyway.

Palin is a Zionist neocon puppet and victories like this over cap n'trade Republitards like Mike Castle won't make any difference at all!

The Tea partiers are waking up just how Fox news wants them to.

;D ;D

I love the Tea Party but I realize they aren't the solution. See my signature for the real direction we need to go in this country politically. The major problem with the Tea Party is that it doesn't confront the racial realities that are going to govern our politics from here on out. Blacks vote for their candidates, Mexicans for theirs, Moslems for theirs, but whites like to pretend that we are past race in this country when nothing is further from the truth. Race is becoming a bigger and bigger factor due to the massive influx of non-whites, and those issues need to be addressed.

The tea party is a joke
Everyone of them I've heard speaking, sounds like a Fox news representive with the same language and rhetoric.

They started out alright and angry, until the Zionist neocons took them over.
They will carry out the FOX/Beck agenda like the good little robots they are.

OP the following quote sums up the American political scene for the last 100 years completely. So commit it to memory.

"The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can throw the rascals out at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy. Then it should be possible to replace it, every four years if necessary, by the other party, which will be none of these things but will still pursue, with new vigor, approximately the same basic policies." - Carrol Quigly

The question, perhaps, is whether the 2 party system is better than the European-style multi-party system.

It seems to me that when a right wing party in Europe starts to gain traction, it is simply declared "racist" or "extremist" and is banned and made illegal, effectively silencing the party and its supporters and protecting the ruling elite from encroachment.

They could have 500 parties and it wouldn't matter. We have 2 parties in the US partly because that is how the system is rigged but moreso because we are surrounded by spineless cowards who don't even have the stones to stand by their principles instead voting for the lesser of two evils, over, and over, and over, and over again.

We have people that even today couldn't give less of a damn about what makes the world go round, instead opting to watch football or american idol and that is what hurts me the most.

I expect Nero to fiddle while Rome burns but to see people dancing to the tune makes me sick.

Abortion (being against it) is a central plank of the Republican party platform, the official one that every candidate is supposed to sign onto when running as a Republican.

For HOW MANY YEARS did the Repubs own the House, Senate, White House? And did nothing about this issue?

IF they had been serious, they could have stopped abortion dead in its tracks. And if judges had ruled against them and tossed out the bill, a single impeachment proceeding against the offending judge would have stopped that cold also, and the next bill would have sailed right through and been enforced.

But the purpose of any politician at the national level is not to actually solve the issue.

If they ever solved the abortion issue, their fund raising system would go kaput. And once you think about that, you realize that maybe there really is no hope in being within the system and hoping that your vote will change things.

It won't matter anyway.

Both candidates for the DE Senate seat are terrible.

There's no need to focus on them.

Hooray another victory for the $50 million a year subversion of the Tea Party engineered by Henry Kissinger and Rupert Murdoch...

Speaking of planks.
If you look at each party you can see which of the ten planks of the communist manifesto was assigned to what party.

Maybe if the tea partiers came out with us Ron Paul guys to rallies like the one in Philly in Nov 07 we might be on the way back to being a Constitutional Republic.

Nearly three years late to the party, I think it is too little far too late.
Maybe if some of the tea partiers read the fliers we were handing out way back then, instead of refusing them with a sneer, we may have a shot.

The tea party is kind of like recycling cardboard; it feels like you are helping, but the impact is minimal.
See you all on the breadlines comrades!

You are wise beyond your years, and I really appreciate your well-written posts.

If I could thank you 100 times for this part, I would:

So many people I talked to prior to the last election wouldn't vote for Ron Paul because he "didn't have a chance of winning". They agreed with his principles and ideas, yet, these people all parroted the same garbage (which of course they heard on television) - "I don't want my vote to go to waste." I tried to explain to them that if they would all just vote their conscience instead of whoever "has a chance of winning" or "the lesser of two evils", we might see ACTUAL change in politics.

So very frustrating. Only one person I spoke with actually voted for Ron Paul, regardless of his chances. She had the stones, where so many others did not.

I appreciate the kind words 3x.

I think any of us who supported RP during the campaign ran into the same scenario you outlined. There was a lot of good that came from that campaign but I will still so saddened to see that even at this late date people still don't get it. I am very happy to report that I turned my whole family on to RP which probably netted maybe 15 votes for him. Not a ton but I was at least satisfied with that. In turn several of my family members and friends became passionate about RP and his issues and I was glad to be able to see the snowball forming. Not that I caused this, but I was somewhat excited that the county I lived in at the time had the highest percentage of RP voters in the state. (still very low)

Good thing Ron never had a chance or he would have met the same fate as JFK and Matt Simmons (who slipped on an electric cord while getting into his hot tub)... Now he can spend his remaining years enjoying his life with his family...except for that knucklehead son Rand who was not beaten enough in his youth.

I dont' disagree with most anything written on this thread, but I have to say that the attitude is very defeatist.

We need to take a longer view. We aren't going to get change overnight. Ron Paul laid the groundwork and planted the seeds for taking the Republican party back to it's paleoconservative roots. Candidates like Sharon Angle and Rand Paul are the sprouts. And the more tea party paleos we get in there, the more other people and candidates will want to immitate them and kiss their butts b/c they yield power. Even in the last 2 days there's been a major conservative backlash against Karl Rove for his trashing of O'Donnell and supporting a RINO Castle.

The tide is turning. But this is a movement, not an overnight turnaround. Movements take time. I fully expect Rand to be a Presidential candidate down the line, but he needs to build his resume first.

The communists didnt' take over America overnight, they took it over gradually over the course of the 20th century. It will take us time to take our country back unfotrunately. It's like trying to herd sheep in the right direction. We're getting some of them heading the right way, and soon enough the rest will follow.
