Negative Space: tea parties
- Carl DeMaio for San Diego Mayor?
-
San Diego City Councilman Carl DeMaio has a plan to restore fiscal responsibility to San Diego. No, really, it’s a plan: it’s 84 pages long and available on his web site.
- The colorful mirror of the anointed
-
The Color of his Presidency can’t change the massive government overreach under his watch.
- The coming crisis
- We know it. We just don’t know what it is yet.
- The continuing left-wing witch-hunt
-
Tea partiers support people who think differently than they do.
- Cornering the wild government in California
- Watching the reaction of the cocktail party politicians and big-government leeches to this year’s political rebellion is a lot like watching a wild animal, cornered. The wild animal may yet win, but it’s lashing out randomly and without regard for who it hits. It just wants to get free.
- Did the Associated Press shoot down Harry Reid?
- In their zeal to take down the Tea Party movement, did the Associated Press just take down Harry Reid?
- Doug Hoffman, Conservatives, and the Dangers of Unreasoning Partisanship
-
Effective politics means supporting candidates who share your principles, not who share your party. If your support reflexively goes to a single party all the time, that party won’t care about your principles.
- A fragile alliance
- The tea party and the Republican party alliance is a fragile one: it requires support on both sides. The media and tea partiers recognize this. Republican party leadership needs to figure it out yesterday.
- I voted against it when I voted for it
- When “yes” and “no” have no meaning, we need to reform how DC does business. They’re creating a system where incumbents don’t have to answer for their votes, because the same vote can mean different things depending on who you talk to.
- Is Troy Michigan crazy for giving up 8.5 million federal dollars?
- Is turning down millions of dollars from the federal government crazy?
- Nobody can beat Dianne Feinstein?
-
Nobody likes Dianne Feinstein. Not even her former campaign workers. But she always wins by huge margins. Can the Republicans do better in 2012 than they did against Barbara Boxer in 2010?
- Raising the debt limit is a major concession
- Raising the debt limit is a concession. It reduces the available revenue and makes it that much more likely that we’ll have to raise taxes.
- Russ Feingold: Progressives United Against Voter Influence
- May 31: For Senator Russ Feingold, Wisconsin was a wake-up call. For the rest of us, it was the 2008 presidential election.

I heard about this web site on the Tammy Bruce show today. It lists “the top 50 races you can help to win”, and includes links to their web sites, twitter feeds, Facebook pages, and YouTube feeds.
If you’re looking for tea party-flavored candidates to support with your own time or money, this is a very good list. Find someone near to you, or someone who strikes a chord with your own experiences, and do what you can to make sure they win on November 2.
Remember also that this is an issue-oriented election. Coming close isn’t nearly as good as winning, but it can push the winner down more sensible paths than they might…
