Posted by (Wayne Allyn Root) – What a night! I cheered and celebrated watching Republicans sweep the Virginia and New Jersey Governor’s races (as well as other key races across the country in traditionally Democratic states like Pennsylvania). Not because I’m a Republican- I’m not anymore. But this was NOT a Republican victory. It was a victory for the Tea Party patriots. It was a victory for common sense independents and fiscal conservatives who oppose tax and spend. It was a crushing defeat for Obama and his radical leftist friends (led by Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Chris Dodd and Barney Frank). It was a defeat for Obamacare, cap and trade, and big government proponents. And most importantly, it was a warning shot across the bow for incumbents and political insiders everywhere- the Citizen Revolution that I predicted in my new book “The Conscience of a Libertarian” has begun.
Republicans didn’t actually win a thing. Voters simply repudiated Obama, socialism and the expansion of big government. Americans rose up to revolt against the party in power (Democrats)- just as they did in 2008 versus Bush and the GOP. Americans didn’t vote for Obama a year ago. They voted against Bush. They voted against the party in power. They voted against “business as usual in Washington D.C.” Against the lawyers and lobbyists and special interests that are destroying our economy and our country.
Only one year later they’ve proved it wasn’t a fluke by doing it again. They didn’t vote last night for the GOP. They voted against Obama. It turns out voters do indeed want change- but not the kind offered by Republicans, Democrats, or any incumbent. They want the kind of change that comes from throwing the bums out (the bums being career politicians), and voting in fresh faces who believe in smaller government, lower spending and more power to the people (just as the Constitution intended).
It wasn’t Republicans who swept to victory last night. It was the Tea Party crowds. The peasants with pitchforks that Obama, Pelosi, CNN, MSNBC and the mainstream media ignored, denigrated and humiliated. It was the small business owners who simply want government to get out of the way. It was the mothers and fathers of America who want to protect their children and grandchildren from a lifetime of slavery to deficit, debt, and big government.
Message to the media and political spin-meisters: Don’t misread the tea leaves- there is no Republican Revolution. But the citizen revolution (with a fiscal conservative and Libertarian base) that I predicted in my new book has begun with a vengeance. The liberal mainstream media is so biased and out of touch that they don’t realize it yet, but we are living through history. We are experiencing the start of a once-in-a-lifetime political revolution. Our generation’s 1776. Our version of the shot heard around the world. My prediction that voters might actually V.E.T.O. (Vote Everyone of Them Out) the entire U.S. Congress in 2010 has started even sooner than I imagined- and with a vengeance.
Last night was a sign of the anger and outrage that small business owners and average Americans are feeling towards “business as usual” in Washington D.C. This wasn’t about “conservative values” on social issues. This wasn’t about abortion, or gay marriage, or
Terri Schiavo, or online gaming- all issues that damaged the Conservative/Libertarian coalition that makes up the Tea Party movement. This was about “the economy stupid.” Thiswas about FISCAL CONSERVATISM and personal responsibility. If peoplehave to cut back and live within our means, so does government. This was about the Triple Crown of cutting spending, cutting taxes, and cutting the size of government. The Tea Parties led the way. If Republicans think this was about party I.D., they’ve gotten the wrong message.
It turns out that the Tea Parties weren’t fake afterall. There was no “astro turf.” They were actual spontaneous outpourings of expression of independent, commonsense and patriot Americans. This isn’t some small grassfire. This is only the start of a full-fledged citizen revolution to save capitalism, save the Constitution, and save our beloved country.
Obama made a big mistake- his radical leftist power grab has awakened the sleeping giant of the Silent Majority. The centerpiece of this citizen revolution is simple: cutting the size, scope and power of government. Hear it loud and clear. Whoever supports those goals will emerge victorious in 2010 and 2012. And who ever doesn’t, better get out of the way. Because you’re standing in front of a train- the Tea Party Express. Our message for politicians is to stand by the people, serve the people, listen to the people, or face the wrath of the people. If you don’t get the message, we stand poised to THROW THE BUMS OUT.
This morning Ronald Reagan and Barry Goldwater are looking down on us with a great big smile. I’m proud to call myself a REAGAN LIBERTARIAN. What a great day to be alive and to be an American. I love the smell of revolution in the morning.
Gosh Wayne, Muth published this on his blog? He must have been blind. The only thing you didn’t mention in your article was Ron Paul. The Ron Paul movement focused all these people & they moved into the Tea Parties as well. Remember who had the Tea Parties in 2008? Ron Paul people. But, your publisher Muth calls Ron Paul people the worst names & puts us down at every opportunity. He just doesn’t get it that we’re not going away, and are in fact, growing in numbers. Sometimes I just think Muth is pissed off that he couldn’t get FOURTEEN THOUSAND PEOPLE to come see him at the Target Center. Paul’s Rally for the Republic was even bigger than the Republican convention – imgaine that – and we ALL paid our own way. No Republican gravy train for us. It’s the end RINO’s. Your days are numbered – including Sue Lowden’s. (BTW, she’s Muth’s main squeeze, Wayne.)
Gosh, Cynthia, are you really this uninformed? First: I am, and have been for probably a lot longer than you, a Ron Paul fan. Second: Go see who the lead sponsor was for the Las Vegas TEA Party at Sunset Park last April 15th. Go ahead. I’ll wait. Third: I don’t call Ron Paul people “the worst names” and put you down. Only the fringe/unhinged elements of the Paul campaign. Not sure if you fall into that category yet or not. As for Sue Lowden, I believe she was the ONLY Republican Party chairman who had Ron Paul speak at her convention in ‘08. And as the saying goes, no good deed goes unpunished. At least get your facts straight before shooting off your e-lips, Cynthia. You won’t look so foolish that way.
so the muthmouth claims to be a paul tard? I’ve never seen him at any meet ups. As a ron paul state delegate myself I would never refer to other Paul supporters as “tards” .I would refer to ms.Lowden as a “rep tard” because she hasn’t the brains to know that you can’t violate your own party rules and think your still electable also there are the…” bas tards” who are backing her and think we are too stupid to know that she is a liar and a cheat??? rhinos might forget but real republicans will never forget .
I do have my facts straight as I was at that convention & to my knowledge it was the Nevada Republican State Convention, not “her convention in ‘08,” according to you. I also think any presidential candidate could have spoken at that convention, and Romney & Paul were the only takers.
“And as the saying goes, no good deed goes unpunished. At least get your facts straight before shooting off your e-lips, Cynthia. You won’t look so foolish that way.”
Well Chuck, as far as most of the people at that state convention are concerned, Sue did a very big BAD deed at that convention & hopefully it will go punished, just as Bob Beers, was punished for his behavior at the convention (he lost his election dontchaknow). These are facts that are believed by many more hundreds than just this e-liper, and I don’t mind looking foolish in your eyes any day, Chuck. In fact, it’s a badge of honor.
So Chuck, you are a Ron Paul fan? You have kept it well hidden other than to occasionally claim that you are. The fact is Chuck, you are an opportunist pure and simple. You support whoever will make you the most money.
Hollow Head, I can name the date, place and time that my wife and I first met with Rep. Ron Paul over 14 years ago at his congressional office’s request. I have worked with Rep. Paul’s staff on various issues ever since and have quoted from his Texas Straight Talk columns in my national newsletter early and often. I was also one of the first to donate to his presidential campaign and urged my readers to do the same.
What have you and that lunkhead of a son of yours ever done for the man other than bitch, whine, moan, and complain? Oh, and write a silly little love song to Sue Lowden.
Cynthia, it is very fortunate for you that you don’t mind looking foolish.
Lori, when you do something other than go to a “meet-up,” let us know.
this is going to be good. i hope lowden and chuck go down in flames. traditional average americans should despise people like lowden and chuck.
