Love this.
Or, perhaps it's because Democrats are too afraid to hold open town hall meetings.
Love this.
This August, the movement's supporters seem less rowdy — perhaps because they're pounding the pavement and dialing phones, trying to alter the balance of power in Congress in the fall elections. While Tea Party-favored candidates have lost in contests including the California GOP Senate primary, they have won Republican Senate primaries in Colorado, Kentucky, Nevada and Utah.
Or, perhaps it's because Democrats are too afraid to hold open town hall meetings.

Google, Verizon propose Net neutrality framework
Google, Verizon propose Net neutrality framework | Signal Strength - CNET News
CEOs from Google and Verizon Communications held a press conference Monday announcing a proposal to lawmakers for keeping the Internet open.
The companies suggested a legislative framework for consideration by lawmakers. The major breakthrough in the proposal is an agreement that the nondiscrimination clause that the Federal Communications Commission has proposed as part of its regulatory efforts would be enforceable.
"We agree that, in addition to these existing principles, there should be a new, enforceable prohibition against discriminatory practices," the proposal states. "This means that for the first time, wireline broadband providers would not be able to discriminate against or prioritize lawful Internet content, applications, or services in a way that causes harm to users or competition."
Black leader admits Democrats exploiting race to change the subject
But MSM won't report it.
Tainting the tea party movement with the charge of racism is proving to be an effective strategy for Democrats. There is no evidence that tea party adherents are any more racist than other Republicans, and indeed many other Americans. But getting them to spend their time purging their ranks and having candidates distance themselves should help Democrats win in November. Having one’s opponent rebut charges of racism is far better than discussing joblessness.
Foster parents rejected over Christian beliefs
They'll have to rule out Muslims too then as Islam says gays must be killed.
A Christian couple from Blackburn, Lancashire, have had their application to be foster parents terminated by the Council because of their orthodox Christian beliefs on marriage and their belief that the best environment in which to raise a child is with a mother and a father.
World Council of Churches to host dialogue between Muslims and Christians
Why not hold the meeting in Mecca? That would show real tolerance on the part of Muslims.
The World Council of Churches (WCC) is to host an inter-religious dialogue between Muslims and Christians this November in a bid to address conflict fuelled by religion in predominantly Muslim countries.
The head of the WCC’s International Affairs and Public Witness, Mathews George Chunakara, told Christian Today that Christian and Muslim leaders will gather in Geneva, Switzerland, to address key issues in the present context of Muslim-Christian relations.
Military jurors fly to Guantanamo Bay to hear 1st war-crimes trial under Obama
Didn't Obama promise to close Gitmo 2 years ago?
GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba (AP) — U.S. military officers were flying in Sunday to serve as jurors in war-crimes proceedings as the Guantanamo tribunal system geared up for one of its busiest weeks under President Barack Obama.
The Pentagon is holding military commission sessions this week for two detainees: a young Canadian going on trial for the slaying of a U.S. soldier in Afghanistan and an aide to Osama bin Laden who is to be sentenced after pleading guilty in a deal with prosecutors.
Rasmussen: Consumer confidence hits year-long low
Again, summer of recovery?
While Joe Biden tries selling the White House spin of “Recovery Summer,” American consumers remain locked in the doldrums. The latest Rasmussen survey on consumer confidence, released today, shows that measure hitting its lowest level since December. The employment index also returned to its lowest point since January as Rasmussen reported earlier in the week, before the release of the DoL’s unemployment report for July:
86 Days to Decide: Activists Say Tea Party Imposters Infiltrating Elections
Remember folks, the left fight dirty and will do anything, anything, to win. Alinsky rules them - the ends justifies the means. That includes violence.
Did the TARP Money Really Get Paid Back?
That would be a no.
Short version: If TARP had only done what TARP was supposed to do — prop up the banking system — it still would have been a mess, but a mess for which the banks, not the taxpayers, ultimately would have picked up the tab. With everything that’s rolled up into TARP, we’re going to take a bath. And it could get really bad if we don’t do something about Fannie and Freddie – and by doing something I don’t mean getting behind a whole new passel of weak mortgages made to people who cannot even raise the money for a down payment.
Across Texas, 60,000 babies of noncitizens get U.S. birthright
and that's just Texas!
Still, the debate could resonate in Texas, where not only 1.5 million illegal immigrants are estimated to reside but at least 60,000 babies are added to their households annually.
Fed set to downgrade outlook for US
Summer of recovery, eh?
The Federal Reserve is set to downgrade its assessment of US economic prospects when it meets on Tuesday to discuss ways to reboot the flagging recovery.
Faced with weak economic data and rising fears of a double-dip recession, the Federal Open Market Committee is likely to ensure its policy is not constraining growth and to use its statement to signal greater concern about the economy. It is, however, unlikely to agree big new steps to boost growth
