The first step is admitting you have a problem. In a Facebook thread mentioned Wednesday, Sylvia Garza Perez, proponent of the local Democrat shill Coffee Party, wrote,
These guys and gals are always out there…as good democrats [sic] we should also stand out there and let them know that we are in this mess because of them.
Instead of accepting the problem she says it’s our fault. We are not Republicans. We are nonpartisan and believe in fiscal responsibility.
Nevertheless, you are a “good democrat” and so is your foulmouthed city commissioner Charlie Atkinson. We didn’t support a health care bill that allows our tax dollars to kill babies. We don’t support corrupt officials. We don’t support tax increases that hurts our economy. We don’t support eco-fascism. We don’t support spending 4 million dollars per job to support our local economy because we think you should get a lot more than one job for that $4 million to stimulate our local economy.
How is it our fault “we are in the mess we’re in” Sylvia? If anything it’s Democrat policy of spending everything we don’t have that’s gotten us on the verge of a double-dip recession. If anything it’s Democrats unwilling to reign in Freddie Mac and telling banks they need to give out money like it grows on trees to people who financially could not pay back the money. If anything it’s Democrats who continue to vote Democrat because they supposedly support poor people.
We are not Republicans. Therefore, the class warfare business that ”good democrats” live off come election day is irrelevant to the Tea Party. As “good democrats” how much corruption are you willing to stomach so that you will be willing to accept “the mess” in full?
You’re right on one thing, Sylvia. We do protest. We lost the health care battle, but we don’t give up. We witnessed how the counter-protest you started with your “good democrat” county chair flopped. Keep hope alive.

Last week, the Tip of Texas Tea Party protested against ObamaCare outside the local office of US Representative Solomon P. Ortiz (D-Corpus Christi, TX). A block away on the corner of FM 802 and Paredes Line Road, Coffee Partiers protested for ObamaCare. Noticing the lack of attention, they joined us.
None other than Democratic Party county chairman Gilberto Hinojosa led the Coffee Party. Does his presence with known Democrat operatives mean the Democrats are the Coffee Party? Recall the meme of Tea Parties consisting solely of angry Republicans and served as basis for Rio Grande Guardian‘s questions to us. Did Republican Chairman Frank Morris protest? No. For the record, Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, and Independents make up our group.

“Blue Dog Democrats” — a formal group of 52 House members — premise their campaigns on the idea that they are moderate or conservative and are independent of the liberal leadership of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Ca) and Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md).
But are they?
The official “Blue Dogs” website states that the Coalition has been “particularly active on fiscal issues, relentlessly pursuing a balanced budget and then protecting that achievement from politically popular ‘raids’ on the budget.” But since the beginning of this congressional session — which has spent more tax dollars than any other in the history of the United States — it’s been hard to see how valid — if at all — their claims to fiscal conservatism are.

Dear America,
I hate you.
I hate you because you’re stupid, you’re bigoted and you’re dangerous.
I know that you’re stupid because you believe in an invisible man in the sky. Not only does that make you stupid, it makes you dangerous. After all, if you’re that easily led to believe in some invisible man in the sky then you might be led into believing in witches and you might burn people at the stake. I don’t care if you “cling” to your religion because you’re not as rich as I am, the fact that you cling to that stupidity makes you a threat to the utopia that would come if only there were no religion.

The American people do not like President Barack Obama’s health care plan. According to the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll 42% of Americans “think his plan is a bad idea” compared to only 36% who think it is a good idea. 40% of Americans believe Obama’s health care plan “will result in the quality of your health care getting worse” compared to 24% who believe their care will get better. And 47% of Americans oppose “creating a public health care plan administered by the federal government” compared to only 43% who support it. Facing this cratering of public support, the left in Congress is now considering abandoning moderates and independents to pass their narrow partisan ideal of health reform. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid spokesman Jim Manley promised yesterday that Democrats will pass Obamacare “by any legislative means necessary.”

Charlie Cook, one of the best political handicappers in the business, sent out a special update to Cook Political Report subscribers Thursday that should send shivers down Democratic spines.
Reviewing recent polling and the 2010 election landscape, Cook can envision a scenario in which Democratic House losses could exceed 20 seats.

Two freshly elected Democrats are wavering in their support of healthcare reform, as a rancorous summer series of “town hall” debates appears to be hardening opposition against the Obama administration.
Frank Kratovil and Tom Perriello, who as freshmen congressmen would be expected to back the party leadership, both say proposals for expanding coverage to the uninsured are unacceptable in their current form and should focus more on cost savings.
Mr Kratovil, who was hanged in effigy by a healthcare protester at a town hall meeting in his state of Maryland, said he would have voted against legislation if it had come to a vote last month.
