At first, I was told (by Republicans) that the time to complain, and to try to change Washington, was during the primaries - and after that - shut the hell up and be part of the GOP team.
Then the tea partiers started challenging incumbents - and I was told that I was being played as a fool by groups that were just taking me for my money - and that most tea party candidates were half-wit dolts that were embarrassing to most sophisticated intelligent establishment Republicans. (Granted, there were some poor picks - I would submit no more than the establishment routinely foists upon us.)
Now, when we have some representatives that we have actually sent to DC - when they try to do what they promised to do when elected - they are hideous traitors!
It seems as though almost every person here that complains about us "rogues" - always throws in a comment about us stupidly sending our money to people that just use it to live high on the hog and to back dumb-ass candidates that can't win. I never hear them complain about the tons of money Karl Rove raises - that's OK, I guess.
We're a new movement, we're learning our way around, we're not "dying", we've learned that money is what greases the gears in DC, we're not going away - no matter how many times we're insulted. We want a smaller government that doesn't revel in waste and fraud. We don't want to suck off the government teat and we want to wean those that do. We want to put everyone that is able - to work - in the private sector! We want to assume our rightful role as the boss of those politicians and bureaucrats - not the other way around. We want to be left alone and we want to be masters of our own domain. We want to adhere to our Constitution.
And we will call you out - no matter what party you belong to! Yes, the Left is our most pressing enemy at the moment - but we won't defeat them until we get rid of those who party together and kiss each other, slapping on the back - wink, wink - some more lip service will shut the unwashed masses up until after we get re-elected and can go back to gorging and purging at the taxpayer trough! Nothing will change as long as we have people like that in office - even within our own party.
Yeah, we're just stupid AND evil.
EXCELLENT, Alice!! Brava!!
