“They are pretty fired up,” Rep. Tom Price, the chairman of the Republican Study Committee, the caucus of House conservatives, tells Newsmax. “I think that folks are seeing that the emperor has no clothes here in Washington, and that conservative, reasonable, American-principled policies are endangered by this administration and this Congress.”

Norquist, a board member of the American Conservative Union, which runs CPAC, notes that attendance at CPAC this year is almost 9,000 compared with 7,000 last year.

“We’re doing well as a movement, somewhat partially because we’re in opposition,” Norquist observes. “The other team is being awful. Their corruption is coming out, their greed is coming out, their taxes and spending are coming out. We no longer have to sit there and point and shout hysterically, They’ll do X! because they’re doing X. You can calmly say, Did you see they just did X?”

As a result, Norquist says, “We sound more reasonable, because we’re talking about facts, not fears and speculation about what they are doing. And frankly, everything they’re doing is worse than we could possibly have claimed previously with any credibility. If we’d said they were going to come up with a $3.6 trillion spending plan, people would have said, Oh that’s ridiculous.”

...

“It’s a good time for the movement,” Norquist says “It’s a bad time for the country, but you can’t make progress and you can’t defeat the left’s ideas until they threaten to implement them. The real danger is that the other side does so much damage that it gets us into a Great Depression scenario.”

7. Where the money goes

At least a big part of the stimulus package is staying right here in the U.S. of A. How much money got poured down the drain in a war started over faulty intelligence in the first place? Sure Al Queida poured into Iraq after Saddam fell, but they avoided the place like the plague when he was in power. It may be hard to fathom a foreign power overrunning a portion of the United States, but if it happens I sure as H.E. double hockey sticks would want to help the resistance any way possible.

10. Yes this is true we all would.

But what the Repugs are talking about in the original post is a movement against the US government now. That is very dangerous talk. If a Democratic person would have even thought that during the * administration that person would have been thrown in jail without due process.
