America Has Entered A Pre-Revolutionary State

Majority No Longer Recognize Government As "Legitimate"

A new Rasmussen poll shows that just 17 percent of Americans believe that the U.S. government has the consent of the governed, an all time low.   Congress itself, is at a paltry 6 percent  and nearly half (46%) of all American's believe Congress itself is corrupt, with less than one-third (29%) believing differently.

A new Rasmussen poll also incidates that 77% of those surveyed say the Government no longer has their concent - a foundational principle contained in the Declaration of Independence. 

"The poll was conducted before Friday’s U.S. debt downgrade, indicating that the figures could be even more dire in the aftermath of what some analysts believe is a precursor to a new great depression."

Great Depression?  Looks to me like we're on the verge of a good old fashioned revolution.

The Battle Lines Are Drawn: American's vs. Republicans & Democrats

Tea Party Victories Last Night Rock Republican "Establishment"

 While the Republican Establishment threatens to not back the Tea Party candidates that won handily in numerous primaries last night, let the message of the Tea Party be clear:

 We Know Who The Enemy Is, It's The Washington Political Establishment.

And that my friends includes both Democrats and Republicans.

The Republican Party in Delaware are threatening to pull support from Christine O'Donnel, uspet that their establishment liberal RINO lost his seat, and a political career that spanned more than 40 years for Mike Castle has ended.

I say this to the New Hampshire Republican Party and the National Republican Party: do it at your own peril.  As the Tea Party gains strength you either become a target or you learn to vote for the Conservative candidates for a change.  We're no longer holding our noses voting for RINO's and that should be damn' clear by now.

Get out of our way, or get run over.  That's what happens to critters that live in the "middle of the road."

Democrats Going Nuclear On ObamaCare

Nuclear Option Means Only 51 Votes Required To Pass

House Ways & Means Committee Chairman Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.) held a hearing this morning to certify that H.R. 3200 -- the main House Obamacare bill which was the subject of all the town hall rage in August -- has met all requirements to pass as a “budget reconciliation” measure.

Under reconciliation, the bill can be passed by a simple majority vote in the Senate -- just 51 votes -- and will be given preferential treatment on the House floor as well. The Dems have apparently invoked the “nuclear option” to shut out Republicans and ensure the bill is passed before the end of the year.

The bill certified for “reconciliation” is the Ways & Means version of H.R. 3200 that was passed out of committee before the August break, and before it was read aloud at town hall meetings across the country and blasted by voters across the country.

It contains all of the horrors previously exposed: federal funding of abortion, coverage for illegal aliens, comparative effectiveness, healthcare rationing, deep cuts to Medicare. Everything the American people overwhelmingly reject.

No amendments were allowed at the hearing and no debate. Rangel told Rep. Dave Camp (R-Mich.), the ranking Republican on the committee, that he would not have preferred to do it this way, but leadership -- i.e., Speaker Pelosi -- forced his hand.

While the media cameras are focused on Harry Reid’s office door, the House of Representatives has made it possible for H.R. 3200 to pass the Senate with 51 votes. It is still possible that Senator Reid won’t choose to use reconciliation in the Senate, but the odds against it are infinitesimal.

Since it has now cleared the Ways and Means Committee (fulfilling the $1 billion reconciliation requirement), H.R. 3200 will go to the Budget Committee where they will do the same thing that was done today in Ways & Means. They will agree that the bill has met the reconciliation requirements on a straight party line vote.

The bill then goes to Pelosi and the Rules Committee where Pelosi will do the same thing Reid is doing right now: merge the three House versions of H.R. 3200 together into whatever she wants it to be, then she will schedule it for a floor vote.

H.R. 3200 could see a floor vote in the next two weeks, or the first week of November. If it passes, the House it goes to the Senate and can pass there with 51 votes.
