Just some thoughts on the importance of the "Tea Party" in D.C. on September 12th.  Unstated, and probably not understood, is the importance of the reinforcement derived from the protest. I'm speaking of the reinforcement received by all of the people who share our concerns but didn't attend the march. Yes, benefit will come from the political class seeing the size of the resistance and fearing for their jobs, but more importantly, is that a very big message was sent to those in the country who share our feelings, but felt all alone.

That day in Washington no one knew how many of us would come, but I can tell you that each of us left with a new appreciation of our size and power. Nothing energizes an army more than each soldier being able to look to the left, then the right, and seeing a million fellow fighters. I also know the thought crossed every mind that day, that we represented only the visible part of the iceberg.

In the end,"votes" matter more than money, because, all money can do is aid a politician in persuading people to vote for them. But all the money in the world won't change what they have done, and the people I encounter aren't ready to buy into the promise of "change" again anytime soon.

sarge are saying Geo Jr was telling the truth about the wmd did exist in Iraq? do you agree that the voting machines in Ohio were in proper working conditions without any paper trail to produce a secure election? do agree Kenneth Blackwell was a honest Ohio secretary of state during both presidential elections 02, 04?

Do we really want to open this can of worms?

President Bush believed that Saddam had WMD. Most of the world believed it. Saddam even admitted that he wanted Iran to believe it.

I do not know about the voting machines in 2000, But I know there is no investigation saying that they weren't.
And I don't know if Blackwell broke any laws in 2000 or 2004. I know I didn't vote for him for Governor.
But who was it that allowed homeless to vote in 2008 using a park bench as an address? I wonder how many times some of those people were able to vote?
There is voter fraud rampant in the country if you believe or want to believe everything you hear. I hope none of it is true; though we all know that's a dream.

I'm saying that any man who can become governor of texas and win re-election and then do the same as President of the USA is by far NOT a stupid man.

And I believe he was a good president, far from the best , but also far from the worst.

Gore Vidal: "The Republicans will win the next election, Vidal believes. "Remember the coup d'etat of 2000 when the Supreme Court fixed the selection, not election, of the stupidest man in the country, Mr Bush."

The U.S., he says, is "rotting away at a funereal pace. We'll have a military dictatorship fairly soon, on the basis that nobody else can hold everything together.

Mr Vidal is obviously an Idiot.

If you believe that we have lost our way as a country, and are looking for a solution. You have to check out this group of people at this site: http://www.ourcaucus.com/
They provide a video that will really open your eyes as to what has happened to America, and best of all they have developed a plan that will restore our Country. There are many groups who recognize that something has gone drastically wrong, and are looking for solutions. I think if you invest a little time to watch this presentation you will see that there is a way out.
If you do take the time to examine their plan I would appreciate it if you would E-mail me Dmoadus@Danmoadus.org to give me your thoughts. Thank you...........Dan Moadus

sarge one should not be embarrass by one's thoughts and opinions. if you believe in them stand up for them and defend them without any remorse. i am liberal in my social opinions and conservative in my fiscal ways and i am not ashamed to hold them dear to my heart. Dennis is not a wannabe, he is trying to make a difference in his backyard whether you agree with him or not. he has put himself out there in several political races to make a difference in his backyard win or lose it does not make you a wannabe. Abe Lincoln lost all of his political offices ambitions until he was elected president of USA. do you call him a wannabe. you win a few and lose a few. it depends on the individual(s) how they live their life after and during their  private life while improving their neighborhoods that makes him/her a class act.

I am not one bit embarrassed, I am rather proud to be me. It is Dennis who wanted to embarrass me, At least that's the only reason I can figure out for his actions. But it is nice of you to defend him seeing as he cannot do so well for himself.
I have no regrets about the way I have and do conduct my life or any of the decisions I've made. I believe I have improved more than just my neighborhood. And once the congress gets done messing with healthcare I will resume fighting for the reform of Medicare and Tricare that I had been fighting for 3 years before Obama. I know I can't get anything done now.

the way you respond to me me says a lot about you, Ricky

Dennis is nothing but reposted news releases and personal attacks. 

sfc_oliver

Not the point Iwasthere. Dennis likes to make things personal and searched for me in other sites. His purpose was a poor attempt to embarrass me. I suppose.

But how does this wannabe embarrass a Retired and respected US Army Sergeant?

sarge do not blame Dennis about your personal opinions that comes from your blog. sarge in this day of the info highway age opinions are read on a universal basis. if you do not want people know about your personal opinions do not post them on your website. :-X
