Tomorrow is another landmark day for what has become to be known as the Tea Party movement. And what is the Tea Party? I have described it once as everyone who isn’t living off the government, and the acronym for Taxed Enough Already is more than fitting. But it is more than taxes, it is the corruption, which can be simply defined as the buying of votes with tax payers money or more darkly described as the picking of winners and losers by the government (Hello GE, goodbye Big Oil), and the phony budgeting by which the government operates.
Zero baseline budgeting, in my interpretation, is a must for the Tea Party, as is tax ‘reform.’ Tax reform, cutting out all loopholes and then lower tax rates is something the democrats could share in. You think that would make tax reform a slam dunk. But another attribute of the Tea Party is that many have come to realize that the democrats, led by their liberal extremists, have no interest in doing what is right for this nation. The best that can be said for these liberals is they want the best for their cause. Unfortunately for them their cause is not what the United states represents, or had represented, and is detrimental to this nation as a whole. And the people of this country, the Tea Party, realize this also.
I believe that is an appropriate description of this indefinable leaderless grass roots organization. And while being endlessly attacked, the name may be suffering in the polls but the beliefs fueling it are unchanged. And tomorrow will determine the true vitality of what is known as the Tea Party. Tomorrow six republican state senators are fighting for the future of Wisconsin in recall elections. Recalls driven by union activists, many from other states, that have invested all they could in robbing the people of Wisconsin of its legitimate government. They are pulling out all the stops in misleading advertisements and election fraud to secure the overthrow of democracy. Yes, democracy itself is in the balance if liberal forces and their worker union thugs turn the tide against the Tea Party.
But I firmly believe the elections will come out in favor of the conservative republicans tomorrow. Though we don’t see much of the Tea Party in the way of activism there is a reason for that. The people, the Tea Party, has come to realize that they are not in the minority. They have come to understand the smoke and mirrors and dirty tactics the left relies on. They have uncovered the vapid mainstream media agenda to support the liberal cause and pay it no heed. Or more precisely, they have better more productive things to do with their time. The Tea Party understands that they are in the drivers seat and the only thing they need to do is get out and vote, and THEY WILL!
Still this nation is in crisis. And the nation is of much greater importance than any single part or state. While the governor of Wisconsin Scott Walker has worked miracles in a very short time and many believe he is irreplaceable, including me, he is an ideal candidate for President with the issues we are facing now.
Scott Walker has been a budget guru long before anything known as a Tea party was around. As the county executive of Milwaukee County he presented balanced budgets year after year, making hard decisions and cuts that were for the most part overridden by the County Board. But he did it, proposing plans to contract out janitorial work as well as season jobs rather than keep union wage workers on staff all year long as some of his solutions. He presented balanced budgets others thought impossible, and they were considered intelligent and responsible by anyone even remotely conservative. But again it was union forces that have have enslaved the county Board that have kept a continuous budget dilemma alive.
Now as governor of Wisconsin, Scott Walker has balanced a budget that under the previous administration was robbing from road funds, illegally claiming monies from a doctor’s malpractice fund and counting tax monies yet to be collected to balance the books; a requirement of the Wisconsin Constitution.
In the face of all this Scott Walker balanced the budget, paid back the doctors fund, provided more money for the schools despite cuts by savings he legislated for them, did not cut a single job for state workers and now Wisconsin is looking soon to run a surplus without raising taxes. Not only that but new private sector jobs are leading the nation in numbers. And for those moderates, Scott Walker never once accuse his predecessor and treated all his adversaries with calmness and respect no matter how disrespectful they were to him in return.
Scott Walker’s skills are a perfect match to what this nation needs in this moment of trial. If he were elected as President in 2012, and the Tea Party were to bring republican control to the senate this nation would be turned into an economic powerhouse that would never be surpassed in our lifetime. Scott Walker as president, with his fellow Wisconsinites Paul Ryan and Ron Johnson, would transform this nation. Scott Walker with his unmatched budgeting skills, Paul Ryan with his expertise in entitlement reform and common sense solutions, Ron Johnson with his expertise in business and how things really operate in the real world, together with a slew of tea Party legislatures that may not hold the same expertise but definitely share the passion to save this country, are the absolute antithesis to the perfect storm of destruction that the left has been battering this nation with for decades.
This is a time to think of the bigger purpose and to trust in one’s fellow man. Scott Walker may seem irreplaceable but we in Wisconsin need to trust that others can carry the torch locally. If tomorrows elections fall powerfully in the republicans favor in the recall elections, definitely Scott Walker should be considered as a potential candidate for President, perhaps even if they don’t. It is time to rush the liberal beast and strike for the heart.
