If you have read my blogs, you probably know that I didn't vote for the party that is currently in charge of the US House of Representatives. I can, however, respect that the people who voted them in power did so for good reasons. They weren't happy with the direction of the country and wanted to see government do more about unemployment, the budget deficit and political gridlock in Washington.
I don't think that the voters responsible for the power-shift wanted to see Congress move on issues like repealing environmental regulation, illegalizing abortion sweetheart deals for the energy lobby.
Instead, they probably wanted to see something more like this:

Who saw this coming?
WHOA!
Romney or Gingrich as the frontrunners against Obama at this point.
Only because no one in their right mind expects Ron Paul to ever be taken seriously as long as he continues to advocate insane foreing policy.

The US Right wing is now directing bigotry toward Democrats
It is beyond denial that the right wing movement in the united states has a long history and tradition of hate and bigotry and that history is embodied by the Tea Party. A new poll by the University of Washington confirms the racist attitudes of the Tea Party movement's members even as they try to deny that their anger at the Obama administration is in any way related to bigotry.
The race problems plaguing the mainstream GOP are hard to hide. Tea Partiers, however, seem to revel in their own homogeneity.
Of course, the media mavens of the Republican elite have wasted no time in blaming the victims for the hatred of the right-wing movement. They also are going through great pains to distance themselves for the threats of violence against Democrats that their own media personalities have encouraged.
With the recent spate of conservative violence extending into the past week, most concerning is the diversion of conservative bigotry away from race, religion and sexual preference and into the political arena. Conservatives are now openly denying liberals their health care rights and are suggesting that discriminatory hiring practices are adopted to keep liberals out of their work places.
I would like to think that this will all blow over and we can settle our differences at the ballot box, but the newfound militancy of the right wing Tea Party fringe in the United States foreshadows a future with the potential for political violence.

The Michael Steele Career Deathwatch 4/8
Yet another prominent Republican is calling for Michael Steele to resign as chairman of the RNC. Adding his name to a growing list of GOP politicos calling for Steele to pack his bags is Tom Fetzer, the head of the North Carolina Republican Party.
In the mean time, Steele can at least count Sarah Palin in his corner for whatever good her opinion is worth.
UPDATE: It gets even better as Newt Gingrich blames the 'elite media' for the crisis affecting the leader of the party of personal responsibility.
