Good deal

6 terms is more than enough. Lugar was a pretty good guy overall but, it was time to go and make way for some new blood.

Nope, they're still a few here and there and still as fun as ever. The latest battle in the GOP War on Women comes from the Tea Party:

Fox News guest laments ‘mistake’ of letting women vote
By Stephen C. Webster
Monday, May 7, 2012 15:20 EDT

Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, a tea party activist that’s appeared several times on Fox News, and founder of an organization where Sean Hannity serves as an advisory board member, said in a sermon recently published to YouTube that America’s greatest mistake was allowing women the right to vote, adding that back in “the good old days, men knew that women are crazy and they knew how to deal with them.”

In the video, published to YouTube in March, Peterson explains that he believes women simply can’t handle “anything,” and that in his experience, “You walk up to them with a issue, they freak out right away. They go nuts. They get mad. They get upset, just like that. They have no patience because it’s not in their nature. They don’t have love. They don’t have love.”

. . . .

“I don’t know if you noticed or not, but the liberal Democrat womens are calling themselves whores,” Peterson replied. “They came out with their so called group of women who are within the Democrat party, and they are admitting that they’re whores and they are saying that they are proud of it. I’m okay with that, I just don’t want to pay for it.”

. . .After giving his controversial sermon. Fox News host Kirsten Powers confronted Peterson about his “mysogynistic” speech and challenged Hannity to repudiate it, but the Republican opinion host did not, and instead gave Peterson a platform to denounce “liberal, women policies.”

That may not be a surprise, however: Hannity has hosted Peterson numerous times and even serves on BOND’s advisory board. “BOND continues to fight the good fight standing for the values of God, family, and country, and are deserving of our support,” he said, according to the group.

Yep, the Tea Party is making efforts in replacing those Repub...in name only and replacing them with those that will make a effort to bring about the CHANGE this country truely needs. Freedom from the heavy hand of government.

Attended a local Tea Party event at Clear Lake, here in the Houston area near NASA several weeks ago. Had about 1,500 people in attendance. We hope to do our part in getting Cruz elected for US Senate.
Just a side note: We had some several hundred FINE Looking independant women in attendance, unlike that other party that has the NAGs.

(we are startting to get why you dont use links billvon)

Back to the content

But, I like the fact that you try to color all tea party members with someone who is out there but, you dont like certin enviro nuts being used to define groups you agree with

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/05/07/fox-news-contributor-laments-mistake-of-letting-women-vote/

The video gives a little more context to Bills tactic here


(just for consideration not an endorsement)

And he talks about "liberal" women in a context I had not heard before

Tea Party didn't even get top billing here.

Seems more of a case of the new orthodox GOP rejecting their elders for daring to stray from strict doctrine. But he still needs to win the main election.

[headoverheels 334]

He's less likely than Lugar to win in November, but it does show the sentiment on the primary voters.

simple-

if you don't like someone on the right - color them as the stereotype of the evangelical wacko - that includes righties that are only fiscally driven and mean well and understand about economics

if you don't like someone on the left - color them as the stereotype of the 3rd generation drugged out welfare nut - that includes lefties that have jobs and mean well


now I can look forward to the predictable crack where people claim the descriptions to the right of the hyphens don't really exist

...
Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants

[rushmc 23]

Lugar gave them top billing today

I dont know if they were or not

but the left wants to believe the tea party is dead and gone

not so

They are just being ignored by the media

And that is the only place most on the left get their info and talking points

And those most distrubed by his loss in DC are the Dems

Lugar was not a repulican

He was a moderate

which is just another name for a Democrate

Which is why the left like moderates

Like Reagan! And Romney before late 2011!

This small tent party is not going to survive. Arnold was right.

Kind of like the 31for 31 states that have voted against gay marriage

I don't know about this guy. I have joked about women having the right to vote. Maybe the Reverend Peterson was also. Liberals are running scared and searching deep to find BS examples to support their dwindling causes.

There is no "war on women" in the conservative ranks, the Tea Party or the Republicans. The main advocates and organizers for conservative and Tea Party gatherings and issues awareness seem to be the women.

Bottom line, the American people are fed up with the federal government idiocy. Change is coming and hope is that it will not be too late for our beloved country.

I just got back from our enclave in the north GA mountains. The folks up there, as down here, are steaming mad. They want BHO and his socialist cronies OUT.

Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

"While MSM Proclaims Its Death, The Tea Party Builds an Army"

"The Tea Party has spent the past several months methodically building, training, and developing its army without much flashy media attention. The lack of media coverage has led a few people to ask if the Tea Party is still alive. After his defeat at the hands of the Tea Party, soon-to-be former Senator Dick Lugar can tell you, the Tea Party is not only alive but they are also organized to fight, and win."

the fault in this, taken at face value, is that while they were jerking off, I mean building an army, the GOP went ahead and selected a decided non Tea Party guy to be their nominee, and countless primary elections took place.

They can certainly work to influence the votes, but they missed the part where they could influence the agenda.

If the Dems lose in November, that will indeed be correct. Right now, they view it as more likely that they will win that seat than if Luger had stayed in the running.
