Tea Party Puffery, just how many Independent candidates are actually going to be elected as Independents?

I'm confused about the tea party movement, but I refuse to spend time researching it. Aren't the tea partiers just going to end up becoming republicans?

How many INDEPENDENT CANDIDATES are actually going to win races in November?

It seems like the political system is rigged against independents. These pre-November political races are simply to elect the main political opponent to the politician in office. Even if the politician in office loses during their own parties nomination, it is still to another candidate from their own party.

If an Independent candidate can only knock off a democratic incumbent by running as a democrat, or by defeating the democrat in the fall after first knocking off the republican favorite, I consider the tea party movement to be a whole lot of puffery because they have to become part of the very parties they scorn, to have an impact.

Yes, some incumbent democratic candidates have decided not run for re-election, but once again, where does the independent candidate fit into the picture?

When November comes, isn't it possible that "rogue republican voters" will vote democrat because they don't like the tea party candidate that defeated the more well known republican earlier in the year? Isn't it also possible the democrats will vote democrat out of fear of the "crazy" tea party republican candidates?

If republican and democratic voters actually saw the word INDEPENDENT next to a political challenger's name, then I could see an actual tea party movement happening. But if tea party candidates are simply infiltrating either republican or democratic parties, it seems to me they could be defeated by a loose consortium of democrats and republicans who don't want tea party change.

Sarah Palin should have run for governor of California this year, won, and then proved to all of us that she can handle a big state. I know Bill Clinton governed a small state, and Barack Obama has never even governed, but Sarah Palin burst upon the national scene and was kind of forced to "fake it" in the heat of the moment, kind of the way Barack Obama did in 2008.

Until I see Sarah Palin actually govern when all the focus is on her, I'm not sure she is actually ready to be a viable president. A perfect example of only leading when the focus is not on you, and then becoming president is, Barack Obama.

Barack Obama may have used his street smarts and deep pockets backers to get elected, and Sarah Palin may have her snow smarts, but neither at this point is what this country really needs in its next leader.

I just don't think Sarah Palin is remotely qualified to be president when I compare her experience with that of Hillary Clinton's. I feel Palin is leading a "movement" that isn't genuine when an independent is forced to call themselves a republican to win.

Why Barack Obama's Poll Numbers Just Don't Matter.

Years ago I heard a funny answer to the question, How old is old? The answer, 15 years older than your current age. Since that answer will always remain 15 years ahead of whatever age one has become, 15 years from now you may give the same answer you gave 15 years ago.

When it comes to Barack Obama's poll numbers, I have some bad news for republicans. Whatever Barack Obama's poll numbers are, YOUR NUMBERS WILL CONTINUE TO BE AT LEAST 15 POINTS LOWER!

The mere fact that Republicans think they gain a point for every point Barack Obama loses, just points to how selfish they really are. In my book you EARN WHAT SOMEONE ELSE HAS LOST, you don't just stand by and expect to get something for nothing, unless you are a do nothing republican.

Until someone actually does something to alleviate the monthly pressure of ridiculous interest rate charges on stupid, worthless 1 trillion dollars worth of consumer credit card debt, I just won't vote for either party.

Could you imagine what 15-25 billion dollars THAT ARE PRESENTLY BEING CHARGED PER MONTH on OLD consumer credit card debt could do for local economies all over the country if the old credit card interest was waived? And none of the waived interest rate charges would be coming from the government or your tax dollars!

It seems so ironic to me that on one side people are judgmental of those with credit card debt, and on the other side people may just give up completely on their debts and default instead. Nobody in power seems to want to champion the most obvious solution of all, just waive all interest rate charges, penalities, and fees on credit card debt that is older than 2-3 years so people can actually see their debt go down on a one dollar borrowed to one dollar paid basis.

Incentives to help people pay down their debts would help local economies grow again, and would actually not cost the taxpayer one cent. EVERYBODY WOULD GAIN, including the banks.

I would suggest that rather than watching Barack Obama's poll numbers, be more concerned that Republicans never met a banker they did not like, just like Barack Obama.

Laughing at Republicans, it's good for the soul from time to time.

I would like to suggest that even though PUMA's may not like Barack Obama, PUMA's don't necessarily need to embrace every Republican rant against Barack Obama, either.

When Barack Obama told the Republicans that "I won" not you, that should have been a PUMA moment to smile at the whiny Republicans who don't seem to understand they lost the election and have yet to accept their fate. The same snotty, snide and sneaky Barack Obama tactics that helped spawn the PUMA movement are now coming home to roost towards the Republicans.

If the Republicans hadn't been so smugly pleased when Hillary Clinton was betrayed by her own party, perhaps they'd be dealing with someone who might not rub them the wrong way as much, Hillary Clinton. (especially if they had outed the ridiculousness of the caucus contest results.)

While Rush Limbaugh said he hopes Barack Obama fails, I would like to be better than Rush and point out the errors that both democrats and republicans will inevitably make, and avoid automatically siding with anybody who opposes Barack Obama.
