The elections tonight.

There was some intuition here on this forum a month or so ago, that all the predictions of losing seats to the other party on the mid-terms wouldn't hold true this time. If what happened tonight is a harbinger of how November will end up, I'm getting some hope. It seems like voters are sending messages to their parties on both sides that the Washington culture of corruption just can't go on. Yes, I have some great hopes for changes in getting rid of the guck in the drain that hasn't allowed us to progress as a nation.
I'm actually pumped. We may be entering a new era after all.

I don't know if Sestak will be that wonderful and if he can beat the Republican candidate, but it shows me that in honest elections, the will of the people will prevail. You know the cheaters didn't think the primaries mattered. I'm certain they will have their cheating machine all primed in November. We have to be so diligent. Also, I think Mitch McConnell being dethroned by the tea baggers is really big. I'm almost sure that the tea people have destroyed the Republican Party.

The mainstream media is feasting on the teabaggers, but lets not pay attention to them, the more they build them up the farther they will fall in the end until they will wish they hadn't gotten so much attention in the news. The darkness that is this 'movement' is now in a position to be exposed to the light, and like the bacteria that it is, it can be disinfected by light.

This could be a part of the chaotic build up that I understood Rick to have pointed to in his posts recently. I am not good with all the astrology and such, but things are happening fast and furious. I refuse to be sucked back in to doom and gloom by the media, they are only after a buck anyway and once the 'baggers stop providing one they will drop them like yesterday's trash. The media is nothing but chaos, that's how they keep us all miserable and coming back for more of their bad drug. Misery and anger, they revel in it, so why wouldn't the 'baggers be attractive to them? Like a train wreck or a plane crash.

We CAN be facing something new and good in this country, we really can be, whether we will or not remains to be seen, but it certainly CAN be happening right now!

I got a sudden, uplifted feeling a few days ago like some kind of darkness had lifted a little bit. I can't explain it. I do know that in Kentucky the Democratic Party is now running a very handsome, positive, well-spoken, accomplished left-leaning candidate against the anger and sniveling hate of the teabaggers. Up until a few days ago I was convinced that the "should be a republican" Democrat, Mongiardo, would win then suddenly I KNEW he wouldn't. I don't know why but I feel like I am looking at the people of my state as they were 20 years ago, decent hard-working folks with some sense, I hope that view proves correct, I have been angry with them for a long time. But we soon forget this state loved Bill Clinton.

They know the classic sadistic move of making things so tense for people (remember the Bush years) that they will leap for change without thought, merely through continued discomfort. They'd hoped that people would vote Republican in the last presidential election due to fear but it backfired upon them. They have attempted to destroy the US and Western economies in order to again gain from it in terms of power (they could then establish more "Patriot Acts", etc. at all levels of society).

It is partly backfiring upon them, but it is also working against the Democrats and Obama. At least the headline in the LA Times thought so. Looks like a teabagger got elected in one district.

From the LA Times front page today:

In Kentucky, political novice Rand Paul delivered the tea party its biggest win since the movement's emergence last year amid a backlash over bailouts and President Obama's expansive agenda.

Although Paul's victory had been telegraphed by his big lead in polls, it was nonetheless seismic in scale, marking a significant breakthrough for the loosely knit protest movement. Up to now, activists have mainly lent their support to candidates who shared their principles, as opposed to backing one of their own.

"I have a message," Paul told supporters at a victory party in Bowling Green, "a message from the tea party, a message that is loud and clear and does not mince words: 'We have come to take our government back.' "

I'll have to paraphrase the man by saying: "You'd vote for anything." (slaps forehead) Still waiting for the new energy to get to the point where such "movements" are flushed.

She's trying to pin him down and he's doing a pretty good job of not getting pinned. They are having a really interesting debate on racism and segregation. I hope Rachel deconstructs him in the end.

And a very good Democrat might just be the next US Senator from Kentucky.

I think people are hopeful about Obama and health care.

influence. Teabaggers will become more stoked, and the rest of us more uncomfortable. Which will work against them...

The Trend is positive but it will always require some Work to keep it on track. Always vote!

I think it will give any Democrat running against him a good advantage.
