The tea's a brewin'

The tea's a brewin' and the Dems are about to get scalded.

Last night Americans showed President Obama and the Dems in congress just how fed up they are with their tax and spend policies. New Jersey, chafing under the heavy property taxes of John Corzine's administration, decided that they had had enough. Out with the Goldman-Sachs, in with the fiscally conservative.

Conservatives scored big in Virginia as well. They swept the top spots in the races there. And while these two races were only a blip on the map compared to next year's midterms, hopefully Conservatives will be able to build on the momentum from here on out.

Now you have may have noticed that I said Conservatives and not Republicans. Even though the winners in these races had an "R" at the end of their name, the loss in New York's 23rd Congressional District points out that it' not about party affiliation, it's about Conservatism. If there had been a primary instead of a back room appointment then I truly believe that Conservtive candidate Doug Hoffman would have won without any problems. However, the Republican old guard appointed Dierdre Scozzafava to run as the Republican on the ticket and most of the 23rd's Conservatives rebelled. When she realized she could not win, she showed her true colors and dropped out at the last minute putting her support behind the Democrat candidate, Bill Owens.

Obama and the Dems should not look at the New York election as a win. They should see it as a wake up call that Conservatives have their number and that next year may be a major turning point.

Playing catch up

It's been a while since I last updated the blog, but I have been very busy with work so I've been a lazy blogger.

Anywho I'm back hopefully.
