[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 781235, member: 2189"] I understand that Idaho has a Senator by the name of Mike Crapo. Seems Idahoians are sending a message to Washington as with that name, he should fit right in with what the other 99 have been doing and will continue to do into the future. (I know it's pronounced Cray-poe so save it) It will be interesting to see from the rearview mirror what has change.....let me rephrase in fairness, what has been attempted to be changed in about 2 years from now. The question if even no serious attempt to expend political capital to change anything by repubs. (I'm praying for absolute gridlock), where then will you redstate pom-pom shakers turn then? Politcal history suggests my cynicism on the morning after is very well justified and I look forward to uttering many "I told you so's" in 2 years. I did hear on the radio last night a refreshing thought from an Ohio tea party organizer being interviewed by Cox Radio's Jamie Dupree who I happen to appreciate. This organizer told Jamie he and others with him held no illusions that things will dramatically change because of political history and he told Jamie that he's watching closely the next 2 years but (his words) [B]"this is it for the republicans. This is their one and only shot"[/B] and even with that, he and others are already planning as a fallback for 2012' a 3rd party challenge. If you are set to use the violence of the voting booth to effect change, then I do believe in this day and age that the 3rd party is the only means to do so as the Statist party and it's red and blue wings will never change a damn thing other than to change it all for the worse. Good to hear someone in the teaparty at least talking some sense as it relates to the electoral process. Good for him/them! [/QUOTE]
