A Shot Across The Bow

By Semperpapa

Yesterday's Primaries across the Nation have shown something very interesting to all those who are actually paying attention. And by the look of things around America these days, there are a lot more people paying attention.

The victory of Christine O'Donnell in the Republican Primaries in Delaware is indicative of a reality that Democrats and Republicans alike are trying so hard to ignore: the American people are tired of the elitism in Washington and are looking for candidates that will bring fresh blood and pro-American values back into the Nation's capital.

Some of the Republican pundits have been warning Conservatives of the danger involved in the potential win of O'Donnell or any of the other anti-establishment candidates that have recently seen success among the primaries' voters.
Be it Miller in Alaska or O'Donnell in Delaware, the pundits have expressed their convictions that these candidates are not able to score victories in the general elections in November, but the reality is that these are now the people who will be on those ballots and they must be assisted in their quest with all possible means.

After the victory in Delaware, Rob Jesmer, executive director of the NRSC (National Republican Senatorial Committee) called O'Donnell to congratulate her, but at the same time indicated that the Committee will not be sending any campaign funds O'Donnell's way, indicating that their perception is she is not a viable candidate.

So this is another interesting development. It appears that the Republican establishment is, in reality, not much different than the Democrat, preferring to maintain the status quo only in the name of power grabbing.
Mike Castle, the RINO O'Donnell retired, is a 40 year establishment guy, more of the Arlen Specter kind than anything else, a "Republican" that has never seen a liberal policy he did not like, and one who everyone expected to switch Party as soon as elected to the US Senate.

So it looks like the resurgence of Conservative ideals is making people in Washington nervous, entrenched Republicans alike, as the prospect of unemployment looms on the horizon.
Even the esteemed Bill Clinton chimed in the mix of the New American Revolution, stating that the direction of the Republican Party has shifted so much to the Right that it makes George W. Bush look like a Liberal.
Mr. Clinton pointed out the fact that the TEA Party is behind the latest victories of Conservative candidates. During a fund raiser in Minnesota, where he made his statements, Clinton also said:

"The Boston Tea Party was protesting abuse of power. This is now trading public power for the abuse of private power,"

which seems to indicate that Mr. Clinton believes that the American People speaking up for a return of our country to the ideals of our Founding Fathers and the United States Constitution is, in reality, an attempt on the part of the people to return to the concept of having a voice in the running of the country.
Maybe Mr. Clinton should take another look at that darn document called the Constitution and he may find some solace that it is the way America is supposed to be led.

The New American Revolution is making the elite political class nervous, and that is exactly what the Country needs to return to a foundation of sanity so necessary today.

Regardless of the outcome in November, the main point remains that the Washington elite must understand that the people of the United States are paying a lot more attention to the events impacting our daily lives and that politics as usual are not going to be tolerated any longer.

Just my thoughts!
