Default Tea Party victories

Good news for the right-wing of the Republican Party....and probably even better news for Democrats hoping to retain the majority in the Senate:

In their defense, the state and national Republican parties have (previously at least) basically disowned O'Donnell. I find it a litle odd that Republican primary voters in the state didn't strategically vote for the candidate who would give them the best chance to eliminate Democratic control of the Senate, but I guess they just didn't think that far ahead.

They will rue the day. The Tea Party's momentum is growing exponentially. Before this is all over, the Tea Party will have "bought and paid for" the Republican Party in the same way that the radical Left George Soros organizations has taken over the Democratic Party.

Pick a side, since the polarization is assured, and moderation in these times really has no use. The Tea Party wants to reverse the excessive government spending, taxation, and inexorable debt. The Democrats appear to want to increase the spending, ignore the borrowing limit, and bankrupt the country so they can remake us into their idea of a socialist utopia.

Try to find her appearance on the Bill Maher show. This lady is great for some chuckles.

Moderation in these times is exactly what is needed. Every Tea Party candidate that wins only helps prolong the time until the GOP gets back in power.

The GOP just definitively lost the Delaware Senate seat. Too bad, the moderate GOP candidate had a good chance of taking it. Tea Party O'Donnell has zero chance.

Congrats, Tea Party! Enjoy recalling that primary victory during the next six years of a democrat representing you in the Senate

Not happy at all and I won't be voting for him however he is a huge upgrade from what we had. You are forgetting that his table was pretty much set when he came into office.

He has had over 1 1/2 years to accomplish something. Everytime he blames it on the Republicans. That's his favorite excuse. Im sure once Karl hits Mexico he will be sending them money that we can't afford to give. His ratings keep on dropping. Its not just me who thinks he is worthless and incompetent.
