RESPECT? President Obama Misses Polish President Funeral Due to Volcanic Ash … Heads to Golf Course

What is wrong with this President that he cannot think that the following would be bad form and a show of complete disrespect?

President Obama’s trip was canceled to Poland to attend the funeral of the Polish President Lech Kaczynski and his wife, Maria due to the plumes of smoke and ash from an Icelandic volcano that has wreaked havoc for air travel. The volcanic eruption and subsequent air travel issues caused many world leaders to miss the funeral, which is understandable.

However, how many of these leaders took that free time to pay their respects to the deceased Polish President by playing golf? We know that Barack Obama did.  Is this how a President of the United States shows his condolences to a US ally?

A massive volcanic plume covering most of Europe forced President Obama to cancel a Sunday trip to Poland to attend the funeral of the nation’s president. But the last-minute change left an opening in his schedule, so the president headed to the links for a round of golf instead.

Polish President Lech Kaczynski and his wife, Maria, along with dozens of top Polish government officials were killed April 10 when their airplane went down in heavy fog after clipping a tree on approach to Smolensk, Russia.

Mr. Obama has not gone to the Polish Embassy in Washington since the accident, but Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. both have. There, they signed a condolence book.

Let’s hope the Presidents round of golf played better than the news of Obama’s decision to play golf did  in Poland. Nope.  The news did not play well there at all.

This past weekend was supposed to be a busy one for Obama, including an overnight Saturday flight to the president’s funeral in Poland. However, the American begged off that trip, citing volcanic ash over Europe. Coincidentally, that decision enabled the U.S. president to get in a round of golf with friends in Maryland on Sunday afternoon, the 32d round of his 15-month presidency. That recreational activity didn’t play too well in Poland.

There is some thing inherently wrong with one’s character when they do things like heading off to the golf course for a round of golf when they were supposed to have been at a foreign head of state funeral. This is how he replaced the free time of showing respect to a deceased friend of the United States?  Then again when a President  mocks his own citizens for their political dissent, what else could we ever expect?

Powerline reminds us of when Democrats used to criticize former President GWB for playing golf during the Iraq war. Some thing that Bush finally stopped doing altogether out of respect. On the very day that the Polish President is laid to rest, Obama goes golfing … How is that hope and change working out for you America?

Interestingly enough, where is the MSM reporting this story? No double standard here now is there. Obviously Obama would have wanted to attend the funeral, but to play golf when the trip was canceled … no class.

It’s all about character, or the lack thereof.

Say It Isn’t So … Obama Administration Behind an Astro-Turfing Anti-Tea Party Web Site … NEVAH! Aruba Tried Same Thing with Aruba the Truth with Natalee Holloway

Some times stories so different in content; however, are so close in their nature. Thus is the case with the following one regarding possible astro-turf anti-Tea Party site and the Natalee Holloway Aruba the Truth site.

Say it isn’t so Joe, or should I say Erick …

Erick Erickson of RED STATE is surmising that the anti-Tea Party web site The Other95, which defends the government from tea party criticisms and attacks the tea party movement as fringe, is an astro-turf product of the Obama Administration .  Red State asks the obvious question, when was the last time that a grass roots activists movement actually took the time to defend the government? Seems like a rather appropriate question to ask.

Writing on January 15, 2010, Glenn Greenwald at Salon noted Barack Obama’s new head of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Cass Sunstein, had championed creating fake websites and using outside 501(c)(3) interest groups to act as alleged independent champions of government policy and to “cognitively infiltrate” opposition websites, etc.

In other words, Cass Sunstein has favored the government using outside parties as government propaganda agents to paint their opposition as fringe and undermine their credibility. Kind of like what has been happening with the tea party movement – lots of SEIU members pretending to be tea party activists causing violence in front of TV cameras.

For those that followed this site during the height of the Natalee Holloway disappearance in Aruba, this is exactly what they Aruba officials and AHATA, the hotel and tourism folks did in creating Aruba the Truth, a pseudo info web site used to combat Scared Monkeys and other sites with pro-Aruba government propaganda to lessen the blow of the impact negative and truthful news had on their tourism. What we at SM could never understand was some of our fellow blogger’s dismissive attitude, who we respect immensely, toward the story. They never fully understood the overall impact because they were never privy to the behind the scenes antics, corruption and conspiracies and because they only looked at the case with tunnel vision.  They never realized that a blog by helping a family of a missing person was taking on the full force of Aruba.  Needless to say, they failed in their efforts to distort the news and their efforts to bring down a site that was at the forefront of opposition against what Aruba was trying to accomplish. To this day Natalee may have not been found, but that does not mean that SM is still not a thorn in the side of those that tried to bring it down.

Moe Lane makes the very point toward the LEFT and the need for such a web site that Scared Monkeys made back in 2005 when battling the Aruba officials and Hotel tourism folks with regards to truthful reporting  … they have all this money and power and at the apex of coverage of the disappearance of Natalee Holloway could have gone on any TV news show they want, Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Court TV, Americas Most Wanted, ABC, CBS, ABC and interview with any and every newspaper or magazine.  Every cable outlet had every one of their shows covering the story and yet still Aruba felt the need to create an astro-turf site to combat little old us. Moe Lane stated the following that rings so familiar …

I am struck with an errant thought: this must be exquisitely frustrating for professional Lefty operatives.  They have almost everything that they need.  They have a solid majority in both Houses of Congress; an Executive branch run by a Democrat and which contains all sorts of people willing to quietly do them favors; a media that largely takes their claims at face value; a plethora of funding; and even a broad outline of goals.  They have all these things, but they lack one thing – one thing – and that’s actual warm bodies.  They can’t even fill a coffee house reliably, let alone a field.

Also, I guess it is just a coincidence that the designer is affiliated with MoveOn.org and other leftwing sites and causes. The LEFT would never create an astro-turf site, never I say. Come on, that is what they (Nancy Pelosi) have claimed the GOP did with the Tea Party. You mean the LEFT actually accuses others of what they do themselves? Go figure.

Astroturf is the act of professional interest groups designing campaigns that appear to be grassroots efforts, but are not. It is what the left has accused the tea parties of being. Only more and more it looks like the anti-tea party movement is truly astroturfing.

Some have no shame … they will fail too.

It’s a play right out of Lenin’s handbook, forget Alinsky, to call the authentic “inauthentic” and then create something inauthentic demanding it be called “authentic.”

John McCain, “I Was a Maverick Before I was Against it and now a Partisan”

I was a Maverick before I was against it …

From Maverick to Partisan … Guess the Arizona Republican primary with J.D. Hayworth is getting too close for McCain’s comfort. At the heart of the Republican primary is now whether John McCain was ever a Maverick. McCain now seems to be running form the label he so embraced in 2008 and prior.

” If you want real reform and if you want change, send a team of mavericks. And what maverick really means, what this team of maverick really means, is we understand who we work for.

Wow, it appears that both candidates for the 2008 Presidential election have something in common … they can’t tell the truth as to what they are. Then candidate Obama claimed to be a middle of the road, reach across the aisle, moderate Democrat and candidate McCain claimed to be “Mavericky”.

Well, we all know what Obama turned out to be, the most partisan first year President in history; however, John McCain now says that he was not a maverick, but instead a Partisan.  Today on FOX News Sunday with Chris Wallace McCain said the following:

“Look, when I was fighting against my own president, whether we needed more troops in Iraq, or … spending was completely out of control, then I was a maverick. Now that I’m fighting against this spending administration and this out-of-control and reckless health care plan, then I’m a partisan.”

The FOX News VIDEO can be seen at Think Progress.

To be or not to be a Maverick, that is the question.

McCain’s “maverick” reputation and his past willingness to work with Democrats on issues like the environment, campaign finance reform and immigration before his run for President in 2008 often frustrated or angered fellow Republicans and he has lately made it appear like it’s a moniker he’d like people to forget.

Has McCain forgot that he approved the campaign ad below?

McCain startled many political observers when he told Newsweek magazine “I never considered myself a maverick” — even as Sarah Palin was describing him that way in a campaign appearance late last month in Arizona for her old running mate.

What is rather comical and ironic is that McCain could cite Obama’s camapign ads in 2008 stating that McCain was not a Maverick to make his case.

Is it possible after all that Sarah Palin really did help the “consistent conservative” J. D. Hayworth in the end? People on the right ripped Palin for simply repaying the favor to campaign for McCain in 2010. However, how soon some on the right forget, had it not been for McCain … there would be no Republican sensation known as Sarah Palin.

That being said … ultimately, did Palin actually provide Hayworth with a political advantage in the Republican primary by “urging her fans four times in 15 minutes to send McCain the Maverick back to Washington.” It is that very label “Maverick” that long time Senator John McCain seems to be running from.

Why run from being a Maverick or as some call it the death of a Maverick? Because McCain being “mavericky” means that he sided with Democrats on such issues like immigration reform with Ted Kennedy or campaign-finance reform with Russ Feingold and his cap & trade position. In today’s political climate where Democrats have lost the favor with the American people on several of the top issues including immigration … McCain can’t run fast enough away from his past beliefs on immigration and shamnesty.

In any event, one would think that the LEFT would want to support a McCain re-election to the US Senate rather than J.D. Hayworth, a true conservative.  A recent Rasmussen poll shows that either McCain or Hayworth would defeat Democrat Rodney Glassman in a general election.

Potential bad news for the Democrat is the finding that 57% of the state’s voters believe the health care reform bill signed into law by President Obama will be bad for the country. Thirty-two percent (32%) say it will be good for the country.

Sixty-three percent (63%) of voters in Arizona favor a repeal of the law, including 53% who strongly favor repeal. That’s higher than support for repeal nationally. Thirty-three percent (33%) oppose repeal, including 28% who strongly oppose it.

Looks like McCain’s chickens are coming home to roost.

Trouble for Those Who Voted for Bail Outs … 57% Have More Trust In Those In Congress Who Voted Against Bailouts

Most Americans still believe today that government is not and should not be the answer to our problems.

There is trouble on the horizon for all those who have in the past voted for bail outs. In a recent Rasmussen poll, 57% of American voters stated that they have more trust for those in Congress who voted against the bail outs than those who voted for. Only 21% stated that they trusted the judgment of a Congress member who voted for the bailouts.

Government bailouts are still a sore subject with most voters. But the Political class remains supportive of efforts to have taxpayers bail out troubled and failing companies.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 57% of likely U.S. voters have more confidence in the judgment of a member of Congress who voted against bailouts than in the judgment of one who voted for them. Just 21% trust the judgment of a Congress member who voted for bailouts more. Another 22% are undecided.

Middle income voters are more supportive of bailout opponents than those with higher or lower incomes.

This can explain why Democrats trail Republicans badly in the Rasmussen Generic Congressional poll and trail in the Real Clear Politics average polling as well.

“Government is not the solution to our problem; Government is the problem.”

This is the issue of this election, whether we believe in our capacity for self government or whether we abandon the American Revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far distant Capitol can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves.  (10/24/64 – Ronald Reagan)

Most people think that the bail outs were bad for America and the economy. By a 56% to 30% margin, the voters feel bail outs were a bad idea.  President Ronald Reagan once said that “government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.” No truer words were ever more self evident today in 2010. Once again, the big government, nanny state Democrats have real issues to deal with the voters in the upcoming 2010 and 2012 elections. Independents and voters not affiliated with a political party are strongly against the bail outs and those who voted for them.

Seventy-nine percent (79%) of Republicans and 62% of voters not affiliated with either of the major political parties trust a member of Congress who voted against bailouts more. Democratic voters are narrowly divided on the question.

Similarly, 82% of Republicans and 59% of unaffiliated agree with Reagan that government is the problem, not the solution. Fifty-one percent (51%) of Democrats disagree.

Take a good listen to Ronald Reagan’s comments on Capitalism vs. Socialism. Never have the two been more simply explained.

“Socialists ignore the side of man that is of the spirit.  They can provide shelter, fill your belly with bacon and beans, treat you when you are ill, all the things that are guaranteed to a prisoner or a slave. They don’t understand that we also dream …”

Obama Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner Praises “Positive Sides” of the Tea Party … Guess they Don’t Amuse Turbo Tax Tim

And now for something completely different … These people will say anything … THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION WAS FOR THE TEA PARTY AFTER THEY WERE OPPOSED TO THEM!

Obama Treasury Secretary Turbo Tax Tim Geithner praises the positive sides of the Tea Party. Priceless, Geithner suggests that The Tea Party movement’s concern with deficit spending and an out of control and record deficits under Obama could align the group with the administration in the future. What, Obama fiscally responsible, now that’s PRICELESS.

This makes as much sense as Bill Clinton claiming expertise in marital fidelity, Obama’s discretion in choosing friends and pastors, Nancy Pelosi’s (choices) in plastic surgeons…..

Then again, the head of the IRS wasn’t quite bright enough to navigate ‘Turbo Tax’ software, so who knows?

We go from Obama mocking the Tea Party to Geithner praising them. Talk about good cop, bad cop … or is it just typical BS! Looks like some damage control for Obama’s ill advised comments the other day.

United States Battle for Independence 2010: Tea Parties vs. The Obama Culture of Dependence

DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. (Declaration of Independence July 4, 1776)

No truer words were ever more self evident than in 2010 …

People have asked what is the Tea Party about and what do they stand for. Michael Barone’s article in The Washington Examiner hits pretty close to the point. The Tea Party is against higher taxes, out of control spending, record federal deficits, bail outs, politicians who have for got who they work for and most importantly, BIG GOVERNMENT. What do the Tea Party folks really want … INDEPENDENCE!!!

The direction put forth by Our Founding Fathers is what has allowed “We the People” to become the most prosperous, Representative Democratic nation in the world, not an over reaching and controlling nanny state government. We are the most productive, charitable and yes, whether you like it or not President Obama … the dominant world super power.

Barone touches on that very point in ‘Tea parties fight Obama’s culture of dependence.’

It is really a battle about culture, a battle between the culture of dependence and the culture of independence. Probably unknowingly, Roesgen was reflecting the the midcentury sociologist Paul Lazarsfeld’s dictum that politics is about who gets how much when. If some guy is getting $400, shouldn’t he just shut up and collect the money? Shouldn’t he be happy that his state government, headed recently by Rod Blagojevich, was getting an extra $50 billion?

But public policy also helps determine the kind of society we are. The Obama Democrats see a society in which ordinary people cannot fend for themselves, where they need to have their incomes supplemented, their health care insurance regulated and guaranteed, their relationships with their employers governed by union leaders. Highly educated mandarins can make better decisions for them than they can make themselves.

That is the culture of dependence. The tea partiers see things differently. They’re not looking for lower taxes; half of tea party supporters, a New York Times survey found, think their taxes are fair. Nor are they financially secure: Half say someone in their household may lose their job in the next year. Two-thirds say the recession has caused some hardship in their lives. But they recognize, correctly, that the Obama Democrats are trying to permanently enlarge government and increase citizens’ dependence on it.

Where would America be today if The Founding Fathers has formed a big brother government that was an all controlling nanny state? In order for success, there needs to be failure. President Obama just does not get it because he believes the Government should act as the all encompassing dominant entity like a King and the people should just be peasants acting in a plebeian manner. Never was this more evident as when Obama just recently mocked the Tea Party folks protesting his policies and agenda by stating, “they amuse me … they should be saying thank you.”

This is the 2010 version of the Battle of Independence in America. That is why Democrats and Obama have so misread the signs of the Tea Party and wanted to be dismissive. Much of what the Tea Party proclaims is not fringe or extreme. It is very emblematic of what every day Americans believe. Which can explain why in so many polls Obama’s policies are opposed by a majority of the American people and the middle of the road, in pendent voters with no party affiliation. How else does one explain a Republican like Scott Brown winning in Massachusetts?  America was not based upon the redistribution of wealth model. It is not about a government hand out, although that id what Obama and Democrats would like to create so to form a permanent voting block of dependent individuals.

At some point every American is going to have to stand up, think for them self and their family and decide whether they want to be independent and that their children and grandchildren will have the rights  endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.  Or be a dependent class of people solely beholden to whatever government is in power.

Barone in his article recalled a liberal MSM confrontation between CNN’s Susan Roesgen with a Tea Party goer and his daughter (VIDEO). The liberal media carrying the water and Obama message just could not understand that the dad did not want the government cookie that would make he and his family dependent upon BIG Government.

“Do you realize,” CNN’s Susan Roesgen asked a man at the April 15, 2009, tea party in Chicago, “that you’re eligible for a $400 credit?” When the man refused to drop his “drop socialism” sign, she went on, “Did you know that the state of Lincoln gets fifty billion out of the stimulus?”

Roesgen is no longer with CNN, and CNN has only about half as many viewers as it did last year. But her questions are revealing. They help us understand that the issue on which our politics has become centered — the Obama Democrats’ vast expansion of the size and scope of government — is really not just about economics.

Who won the debate between the MSM and the Tea Party from above? CNN’s Susan Roesgen was fired, CNN has lost their audience and the Tea Party is alive and well in 2010.

It’s up to you America … the United States is at a cross roads and this up coming midterm election in 2010 and the Presidential election in 2012 will determine whether America will be the shining example that Our Founding Father’s risked their lives for and fought a War of Independence for  … or will we become like a social European country. Its your choice America.

Cookbook Recalled After Calling for Freshly Ground Black People … MSM to Blame Tea Party

RUT-ROH … Misprint or Tea Party conspiracy?

An Australian cook book was recalled by Penguin Group Australia after one the recipes called for “salt and freshly ground black people” to be added to the dish. This reads like a bad version of the old SNL skits with Emily Litella and “Never Mind”.

It is a tiny misprint, but an Australian publisher had to pulp a cookbook after one recipe called for “salt and freshly ground black people” to be added to the dish, AFP reported Saturday.

Penguin Group Australia pulped and reprinted about 7,000 copies of “Pasta Bible” after the typographical error was found in the ingredients for spelt tagliatelle with sardines and prosciutto, The Sydney Morning Herald reported.

But was it really a misprint? Obviously the recipe was one provided by the Tea Party movement. Who else would do such a racist thing? The NY Times would know, they are so knowledgeable and even handed on reporting such issues. The MSM has been calling this organization racist for months, they finally have their proof.  It is only a matter of time before the liberal MSM, Democrats, Bill Clinton, President Barack Obama and the rest of the moonbat LEFT will attribute this obvious racist on the Tea Party movement and call it their favorite recipe.

After all, just the other day an NBC reporter singled out a black man in the crowd at a Washington, DC Tea Party event and asked them whether he had ever felt uncomfortable.  Unreal.  Darryl Postell’s response was, “No, no … these are my people, Americans.”

Amen brother.

Politico asked one white tea party protester about how she could spot an “infiltrator” – a liberal posing as a tea party protester.

she said that more “racially-oriented signs” were a giveaway. “This movement is not about race. My husband and I are an interracial couple. He’s African American. We don’t make this party about race, we make it about principles.”

Because we all know that the LEFT is never racist, just ask Lloyd Marcus, black singer/songwriter of the American Tea Party Anthem.

By the way, how soon will it be before Al Sharpton and the Reverend Jesse Jackson will be flying to the land down under to be screaming, No Justice, No Peas?

Nevada US Senate Race: Democrat Harry Reid Continues Dismal Poll Results … Reid Loses Full Ballot Test

It is a sign of things to come this November for Democrat Senate Majority leader Harry Reid, the US Senator from Nevada. According to a new poll by the Las Vegas Review Journal, incumbent Harry Reid loses to Republican challenger Sue Lowden if the election were held today 47% to 37%. Sue Lowden is the odds on favorite to win the Republican Senate primary.

The survey of Nevada voters commissioned by the Review-Journal shows Reid getting 37 percent of the vote compared with 47 percent for Republican Sue Lowden, who would win if the election were today, while the slate of third-party and nonpartisan candidates would get slim to no backing.

The latest Mason-Dixon poll for the first time measured Reid’s and Lowden’s support in a full general election test instead of in a head-to-head or three-way matchup to see how much of the vote the record number of Senate candidates on the Nov. 2 ballot would siphon off from the Democratic incumbent and the top GOP challenger, pollster Brad Coker said.

“The bottom line is that adding all these minor candidates won’t really bleed support away exclusively from the Republican,” Coker said. “They’re not really bleeding much support from either candidate, Reid or Lowden, and if they do siphon off votes, it’ll probably be about half and half.”

Reid’s people had stated in the past that Harry Reid would win a general election because splinter candidates would pull off enough votes for him to back into victory. That strategy appears to be out the window as the most recent poll shows that a majority of Nevada voters do not even know the names of the other candidates and would not vote for them.

According to the poll, the four nonpartisan candidates wouldn’t pick up any measurable vote. Tim Fasano of the Independent American Party and “none of these candidates” would each get 3 percent, Scott Ashjian of the Tea Party of Nevada would get 2 percent, and 8 percent of voters are undecided.

Eight or nine out of 10 voters don’t even know the names of the four nonpartisan contenders, according to the survey, which also found less than half of Nevadans recognized Fasano and Ashjian, a former Republican who isn’t supported by local and national members of the Tea Party movement.

Harry Reid has trailed all Republican challengers in the polls and even with Vegas odds is huge long shot to hold on to his US Senate seat.  What a feather it will be in the Republicans cap by knocking of the Democrat Majority leader Harry Reid and the man behind so many of the back room, dirty deals that made it possible for Obamacare to pass.

Barack Obama Back to -17 in Rasmussen Daily Presidental Tracking Poll

Back where he belongs …

President Barack Hussein Obama finds himself back in normal territory as he has fallen back to -17% in the Rasmussen Daily Presidential Tracking poll. Just a couple of days ago The One was only in negative single digit numbers, but know it back near -20.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows that 27% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-four percent (44%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -17 (see trends).

While some Democrats are seeking to brand Republicans as the “Party of No,” a narrow plurality of voters nationwide views that label as a good thing.

So what changed to so drastically swing the poll against Barack “The Chosen One” Obama? Could it possibly Obama’s foolish comment about the United States being a super power whether we like it or not? Maybe it’s because April 15th Tax Day was upon us and Obama had the unmitigated gall to say that Tea Party members amuse him and they should be thanking him. In fact, when the President made such an ignorant statement he was saying it to all Americans, not just the Tea Party.

No matter what he says or does, Obama keeps falling back in the polls. He can’t get out of his own liberal way or stop his lips from moving. Every one thought it was Biden that would get the Administration in trouble … actually its the words from Barack Hussein Obama.

Senator Fom MASS Scott Brown Calls Obama’s Comments Sad

Obama, One Sad President …

It would appear that Scott Brown, the newly elected Senator from Massachusetts is none to impressed with President Barack Hussein Obama’s comments regarding Tea Party members. It is sad that a President who certainly had no problem criticizing President George W. Bush, his policies, the war in Iraq and the surge seems to have an issue going after “We the People” who protest his own policies.

It is too bad that Obama can not act in a respectful manner toward people who are merely expressing them self in a respectful manner. It is a sad day when a President mocks the people for expressing them self and feels that he should be thanked. Some one might want to remind Obama that this is still the Unites States of America and the people want to keep it that way.

The Senate’s newest Republican called it “sad” that Barack Obama told a laughing crowd of Democratic donors on Tax Day that he was amused by the antics of Tea Partiers, who the president said should be thanking him for cutting their taxes instead of protesting against his policies.

“I find it sad that the president gets personal with these groups who are just expressing themselves in a respectful manner,” Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown said Friday morning in Washington to a conference of Republican lawyers. “That’s the way our country operates.”

Obama, speaking to about 1,000 Democratic donors in Miami Thursday night, said he’s been “amused a little over the past couple of days where people have been having these rallies about taxes,” adding, “You would think they would be saying, ‘Thank you.’ That’s what you’d think.”

It’s pretty sad when a President of the United States feels the need to be thanked for taxing people and irresponsibly spending the People’s money.

The Gateway Pundit shows us what a real political athlete looks like.

Scott Brown makes an important point and one that should put the fear of Gad into Democrats and Barack Obama. The MSM likes to drive wedges between people and start trouble where there is none, like in the case of Scott Brown, the Tea Party, his election and why he was not at the Boston Tea Party rally on April 14.

When asked about his general views on Tea Partiers, Brown — whose election in January has been hailed a sign of the power of the conservative grassroots activists — rejected the premise that the protesters concerned with runaway government spending should be solely credited with putting a Republican in the Massachusetts Senate seat for the first time in decades.

“Did the Tea Party movement help me? Sure they did. So did 1.1 million other people in my state and so did others across the country,” Brown said.

He added: “So to have one particular party take credit — I’m appreciative. But I had a big tent in my election.”

Brown did have a “BIG TENT” and it was Tea Party folks, Republicans, Independents and Democrats who voted for Brown. How else could a republican win in a Blue state like Massachusetts and win Kennedy’s old Senate seat?

This is where Democrats and Obama have an issue in elections to come. They want to believe that Republicans and the Tea Party peaked too soon. Not even close. Now every state and district wants to have their own Scott Brown election in 2010 & 2012 and there after.
