Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

brian....Rand Paul is a United States Senator...that makes him one of the 101 most politically powerful people in the country....to act like he's just some "also-ran" from some hillbilly state like Kentucky is disingenuous at best.
Are you saying that every senator is more politically powerful than the house majority leader? Really?

Individually, a senator only makes a difference in a 49/50 vote.
each senator is at least as powerful as the house majority leader....it takes over 4 house members to equal the voting power of one senator.

I can see now that I have been back on the board for a few weeks, you are settling back into your role of opposing my simply for the sake of opposition....this is a great example of such, and the reason that I quit posting last time, and will likely do so for good next time.
Don't leave Gray, just ignore the folks who don't debate in good faith.

SENATE - 10 TOTAL

5 WON - 50% of Tea Party candidates won
PA- Pat Toomey
KY- Rand Paul
FL- Marco Rubio
WI- Ron Johnson
UT- Mike Lee
Add the Governors to that total and it seems like a pretty successful movement to me. We all know that brian lives in his own little world.....

So Brian, now that you have been shown to be clearly wrong on this thread, are you going to man-up and admit it? Just because you and Brum don't like what the Tea Party stands for, e.g. smaller government, a balanced Federal budget, and following the US Constitution, doesn't mean you should pretend it has been a complete failure. Trying to lump it in with the Occupy bowel-movement is laughable.

The body knows what fighters don't: how to protect itself. A neck can only twist so far. Twist it just a hair more and the body says, "Hey, I'll take it from here because you obviously don't know what you're doing... Lie down now, rest, and we'll talk about this when you regain your senses." It's called the knockout mechanism.

These are Republicans we're talking about here....who ran campaigns with an overwhelming majority of money from the Republican Party, not the Tea Party. Again, another example of the TP taking credit for something they didn't really do.

An endorsement does NOT equal a cause for victory.

They voted....doesn't that make a difference? Aren't some of the Democrats making the claim that the tea party conservatives are the reason congress isn't getting anything done? You are delusional...

Using what the "democrats" are saying in DC as fodder for anything is delusional. Let's rebuild this country's government. Kick all congress out of office. Put term limits on all seats. Ban political parties and PACs. Force people to run on issues. Eliminate the ability to "straight ticket vote" on voting machines. Allow people to vote online and early. Cap advertisement spending. Do away with all "straw poll" events.

That's a start.

Sorry, bri, but that all reeks of an incredible pie in the sky oversimplification. Force people to run on issues? Really? So basically you want to force candidates to only speak about are considered issues? Sounds like pretty anti-first amendment to me. Allow people to vote online and early? No, no and no. Huge voter fraud potential. Eliminate straight ticket votes? Exactly why? Because you don't want people to vote straight tickets? Removing the option isn't going to make them study candidates any more than they already do, all it does is lengthen the wait at the voting booth.

In an ideal world I would agree with alot of what you said, no all, but alot.

Do you think that the group of Republicans ("conservatives") that signed the pledge not to raise taxes on anyone were influenced at all by the tea party?

Heard something again today that I find very scary: If the government stopped ALL spending today and started paying back 100 million dollars/DAY to pay down our debt, it would take 395 YEARS to pay it off...........something has to change. I don't claim to have the answers but I do know that all the presidents in my lifetime have not really made that part of the money problem better....Obama included. Maybe taxes will have to be raised on us all but we will Nevr even have a chance if we keep electing big spenders. Basically, we are fucked.
