Tea Party Power: “The question is which is to be master”

“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less … The question is which is to be master … that’s all.” The Obama Administration's Orwellian/Emanuelian "rebranding" of the discredited "global warming" as "global climate disruption" comes to mind.

"Lotsa Tea Party energy in the air," we twittered Sistah Grizzly Angela Lash this morning, attempting a quick analysis — with "had a great fall" syntax — of the political landscape in "140 characters or less":

All the GOP's fuddy duddies and all the Journolista's men couldn't put the establishment together again!

On a mission to retake the hill and reignite the lights of the Shining City, the "almost chosen people" of our Army of Davids have been gaining ground, disintermediating the powers that be using every medium, old and new, to make our voices heard. The "Krauthammer-Rove Axis of Disdain" was stunned this week to find themselves blinking in the headlights of the onrushing narrative of Sarah Palin and the Tea Party Express. Cubachi has the animation and a nice twist to the irony of "reporters" halfway around the world getting the scoop on Christine O'Donnell and the Delaware upset

Can they hear us now?

  1. Powerline’s John Hinderaker has just teamed up with Bill Maher to disseminate dirt on O’Donnell.

    John has declared O’Donnell’s campaign dead. Oy.

    The ‘global warming’ becomes ‘global climate disruption’ thing kinda says it all. Its a bit like a shoe store selling some really crappy shoes, we will call them Flikees. Everyone who buys them brings them back because they fall apart when worn. So the store puts bright red shoe laces in the crappy shoes and puts them on sale with a new name. ‘RED LACES’, ON SALE AT BARRYS’ SHOE EMPORIUM! Unfortunately everyone who looks at them recognizes them as the same old crappy Flikees. No one buys them except the village idiot who soon returns them wanting his money back. Same old crappy shoes, different name. They must think we are all village idiots.

    Congrats to Phil for being the first to double down on the theme that O’Donnell is the victim of vicious smears by the Establishment, as Bill Maher releases what he says is only the first video of Kookie O’Donnell, this one with her talking about her experiences in withcraft and Satanism.
    You know what? When someone appears to be a self-promoting screwball, she’s very likely to turn out to be a self-promoting screwball. In fact, anyone who went on Bill Maher’s “Politically Incorrect” show was pretty screwy in the first place. That was Maher’s shtick: nuttiness.
    If you guys have any sense, you’ll stop wasting your pixels and money on O’Donnell right now and redirect them to any of the dozens of conservative candidates who could use more help.
    The problem with O’Donnell is not — and never was — that she’s an “extremist” or too conservative to win; it’s that she’s a kook.

  5. Moobs says:

    in other shes a kook because she is too conservative btw you meant to say more moderate candidtates need my money anyways you wanna vote for the dem or stay home but dnt show your hypocritical false outrage hen we do the same to your character

    “bill maher is a cunt…….there i said it”
    Because of the tape he showed of O’Donnell admitting to be a witch?
    I wouldn’t worry about it, practicing witchcraft is a big plus with independent voters.

  7. Moobs says:

    yes i heard causing our Debt to be 50% of our total GDP is a big plus with them as well
    Supporting a certain reigion over another is as well[I.E. the ground zero mosque must be built]
    Closing gitmo is too
    Appeasing ahmawacko who is the worlds biggest homophobe while callingprop 8 supporters a bunch of ultraright homophobes is as well
    Go play in traffic barfforbrains

    John, did you actually watch the clip? I mean, if this is the best they got then keep it coming! Seriously, CO does not come off as kooky or crazy here, or in the MTV piece on masturbation. Rather, she’s open about having associated with but never joined a group of witches thru some guy she was dating. This was part of one of those bull session roundtable discussions. She looked cute as hell too, back in 1999. You’re going to see voters, particularly men, previously on the fence over her start to give her their support. Now, I do see she’s canceled her appearances on the Sunday shows including FOX for some previously scheduled church even in Delaware. Not good.

  9. Moobs says:

    see i old you she supports state sponsored religion what a kooky wich btw build the ground zero mosque at ground zero you bigots

    Harry Reid (D, NV) has a pet while others may have a pet peeve. For many, gambling is boring or worse. Vegas is fun and all but slots, poker or roulette are not their cup of tea. Speaking of tea, it seems politics, especially grassroots politics, is akin to gambling; bet your candidate wins. Pick your poison; volunteer, cash money to a candidate or PAC, and or all in with your vote. The average voter thinks local but with new media they are beginning to cobble a national Tea Party fantasy team; Big Tent at its finest. However, those elites who make their living on politics are not very keen to see their point spread bet go the way of credit default swaps.
    Everyone knows the house always wins; the odds are stacked against you in Vegas. Sure enough, our congressional House who holds the purse strings won out over citizen objections in betting Keynesian with the $Trillion Stimulus and so much more debt since with President Obama’s bidding. Early into this administration it was the Republican Sen. sisters from Maine who bet the point spread, then Cornhusker Kickback to Louisiana Purchase, and different states or seats in-between. Most recent, the $30Billion supposed small business loan package of generational debt passed the senate with Republican Sens. George Voinovich of Ohio and George LeMieux of Florida. Who?
    It appears the pundit and Beltway call for moooderates is to keep in place a point spread for unpopular votes for those elected elites. “Sure, I voted for that out of control spending but look at all the other ones I didn’t support!” they’ll coo at a townhall. Whose turn will it be next week to make the fiscal/judicial conservative tackle?
    Conservative voters want a team of players who are in it to win not hedge bets. It’s like those opposed to O’Donnell are betting against their own team with taxpayer money no less. Shades of the Black Soxs or Pete Rose. Would you use up your early draft pick on someone with a proven track record of making deals behind closed doors? No. We The People are the owners and are no longer inclined to listen to, let alone tolerate, the We Know Better managers. Either you take to the field with the team you have or sit on the sidelines. Heckle if you like but remember loyalty is rewarded, and make no mistake, you’re no longer in the show but a spectator.
