Amy Kremer, chairman of the national Tea Party Express and a Georgia resident, made it clear in a CNN interview today that as far as she’s concerned, U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss has earned himself a primary challenge with his vote in favor of the “fiscal cliff” legislation that passed the Senate by a vote of 89-8.
“The Tea Party Express, we haven’t decided anything at this point, but I can tell you I live in the state of Georgia and Saxby Chambliss is going to be primaried. Our own senator. It’s unacceptable to have somebody who votes with the Democrats more than they do with the conservatives, and he has proven time and time again he’s all about the spending.
“And we’re a red state, we deserve a conservative senator, a conservative senator that would stand with [Sens.] Marco Rubio [R-Fla.] and Rand Paul [R-Ky.] and Mike Lee [R-Utah] who all voted ‘no’ for this bill.”
U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson, also of Georgia, also voted in support of the bill, which was opposed by all eight of Georgia’s Republican congressmen.
It should be noted that the Tea Party Express also championed the campaigns of Sharron “Second Amendment remedies” Angle, who lost a winnable race against Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and Christine “I am not a witch” O’Donnell, who lost a winnable Senate race in Delaware.

But according to research published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, having a pro sports team in town may be a net negative for the local economy. Paul Staudohar, professor emeritus of business administration at California State University, found in an examination of last year’s National Basketball Association lockout that shutting down sports leagues can be good for a city’s finances:
Even if the 2011–2012 season had been canceled, it likely would have had little, if any, effect on the economic health of the cities that host NBA teams. A 2001 study of past work stoppages found that, in 37 metropolitan area economies with professional sports franchises, there was no overall financial impact. Indeed, the cities appeared to perform better financially in years that games were canceled. There were other options that people spent their entertainment dollars on, in a substitution effect, while security needed for public safety at sporting events cost less because games were not played.
Hosting the NCAA Final Four tournament has also been found to be a net negative for a city. So perhaps cities kvetching over the NHL lockout don’t have as much to worry about as they think (though of course individual businesses can be substantially harmed). Recent data also shows that Canada’s economy is taking an extremely slight hit due to the NHL stoppage
Looks like if them Tea Party characters really mean business about tax issues, they ought to start by stopping the new stadium effort.

In a Republican leaning state, there is still a choice between right and wrong in the primary. The fact that Deal made it out of the primary is more than enough reason to judge the sanity of Republican voters in Georgia.

josef: it is the melodies and nuances of the various versions of the Southern dialect that have fascinated me for years. From learning the proper way to discuss someone’s character flaws with my grandmother while hearing my grandfather get right down to plain truth of the matter when it was just the boys, I figured out early that language is about context and an educated southern boy was expected to be aware of and fluent in whatever situation he was located.
“The fact that Deal made it out of the primary is more than enough reason to judge the sanity of Republican voters in Georgia.”
All he needed was the blessed ‘R’ behind his name on the ballot and that sealed the deal. Which makes me wonder how a primary fight would go with Saxby. That kind of fight will be interesting to watch!

The same group that voted Deal into office continuously raises a fuss over everything that Obama does, even if he actually has nothing to do with it. Chambliss is bad enough, but I think there would be a substantial number of Democrats who would vote in the GOP primary to put him back on the ticket if the other option was Tom Price. I could be wrong, but that’s how I see it.

“The country will bleed, while the bozo’s feed on their pathetic ideology.”
The country will bleed, as you say, as long as the counter to the Democrats is so lost in its own infighting and ideological bloodbath. The system works because both parties pull at the ends and the real work gets done with compromise in the middle. The extremes of either party can’t be allowed to run the show for too long. In my memory, the Dems have never had that happen, but we’re right in the middle of such a struggle in the Republican party. Nobody here is having any kind of orgasm about the fiscal cliff deal, but it’s high time something, anything came out of Congress that had some support on both sides. The Republicans have spent four years trying to simply stop the Obama administration from doing anything so they could get him out of office. That didn’t happen and now they have no idea how to really govern, which requires debate, compromise, and giving something to get something. They turned down all offers for a deal that included spending cuts and ended up voting for a bill with none. That’s their own fault for not being willing to negotiate and doing what they’ve done for four years- demand it be done the far-right way or nothing gets done at all.
Do you seriously believe a Republican administration right now could do any better with the mess they have in the House?

It’s not just the South. It happens everywhere. I’ve told this before but it’s an illustration: we got a new District Manager and he came to our building for face-to-face meeting with our group. I literally did not pay attention to what he was saying because his accent was so familiar, but I couldn’t put my finger on it. I grew up in Harrisburg, PA. It wasn’t New York, and it wasn’t New Jersey. It wasn’t the accent I was familiar with from my home area. It wasn’t Ohio…but it was close. Just as I was wating for a break to ask him where he was from, he said he grew up in Pittsburgh.

Really?? That’s a very broad statement that I don’t think you could prove. The reality is most Dems aren’t as far left as they seem. When contrasted with the formerly popular far-right nuts we elected in recent years, I’m sure anyone in the Democratic party must seem very far left, but they’re not.
And I’ll respectfully disagree with you about a Republican administration. That would be very popular with the far-right, but if you think about it, they’d have a hard time governing from that extreme. Their own moderates and the Dems wouldn’t let very much of that get through Congress. And looking at the changing make up of the 113th Congress convening today, I’d say it would be even harder to govern from the far-right. Their numbers have shrunk a bit.

Most Southern states have been single party states since being re-admitted to the union. Conservative Democrats ran the South until they shifted allegiance to the GOP. True Liberals exist in small numbers here, and there have not been enough to enable a true two party system in the South in a very long time.

I gotta tell you, I honestly would have loved to see Huntsman or Pawlenty go up against Obama. I think either one, IMO (and by no means expert or researched, just my opinion) could have given him a run for the money. Pawlenty didn’t have the guts for the cutthroat nature of the primaries, so I can see why he quit so early. As for Santorum and Gingrich, well they just didn’t know when to shut up and tried so hard to play the uber-conservative that they just tripped all over themselves and ended up looking like the fools they are.

Huntsman IS conservative. What he is not is one of those rabid, foaming at the mouth, bile spewing, flame throwing jackasses that some people think is what makes one a “true” conservative nowadays.

Boehner may have sold his soul to the tea party for that gavel.

“And there’s your sign.”
The over/under odds on how many times the repetetive post bunny would retread this particular post is 5 for today.
Its official-and it looks like the over wins the bet.
Collect your winnings in liberal fantasyland- the payout is an Obama phone, a tanf card redeemable at your local liquor store, and a free lifetime supply of unicorn pooped skittles.

He allowed Romney to talk and when the 47%
tape was revealed, he just played it. In the debates he allowed
Romney to talk and was criticized for it but he was correct. Romney
talked himself into last place.
That is what politicians do, they talk.
Romney couldn’t say anything to talk himself into the White House but Republicans believed that he was their best choice.

“Jeb Bush might have been the best to run.”
Nobody with the name Bush would have had a chance, even in 2012. Hell, they didn’t even have George at the convention, and that wasn’t just a lost invitation in the mail, me thinks. Jeb would never have been able to distance himself enough from his brother to get the support he needed, and would have ended up in worse defeat than Mitt.
“Huntsman IS conservative. What he is not is one of those rabid, foaming at the mouth, bile spewing, flame throwing jackasses that some people think is what makes one a “true” conservative nowadays”
Ain’t that the truth!! In the end, Romney was the only one out of the pack that could talk the neocon talk well enough, and his record certainly didn’t support him trying. He just ended up with enough money and willingness to play to the money crowd to get the nod.

I’ll campaign for Saxby. I might not be thrilled with 100% of the decisions he’s made but the Senate showed real leadership in this mess created by the House. I’m sick of the Tea Party and their hostage hold on the House.
