Backwards to Victory! Already steeped?

The cast of characters taking their ~~country~~ party back is soon visiting Junktown–as some bitter people sometimes call the lovely Grand Valley’s very heart. And surely some of its finest will be on display!

The event, dubbed “Patriot Tea Party,” is being held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The pavilion is located at 1301 E. Sherwood Drive, Grand Junction.

A host of political candidates are expected to attend, including U.S. Senate hopeful Ken Buck and gubernatorial contender Dan Maes. House District 54 hopeful Ray Scott and 3rd District congressional candidate Bob McConnell are also scheduled to attend.

The event is being hosted by a group, which bills itself as gjresult/Tea Party. For more on the event contact Tim Fenwick at timfenwick.gjresult.teaparty.@gmail.com or visit their website at gjresult.com.

Candidate Norton–who may be skipping the Patriot’s Kool Aid and Crackers party–still maintains her laundry list of talking-points-as-policy litany-

The Secretary of State’s Office certified more than 20,000 signatures according to figures released by the Norton campaign.

…”My message of creating jobs and strengthening the economy, cutting government spending, and keeping America strong, safe, and sovereign is resonating,” Norton said in a statement.

… “My message is clear: Repeal Obamacare. No more earmarks.

“No to Cap and Trade. Cut discretionary spending by 20 percent. Drill ANWR. Drill the Roan Plateau. Secure our borders. No Amnesty. No Bailouts. Shut down Iran’s Nuclear Capabilities. Prosecute the War on Terror. Win the War on Terror.”

Whew! Go get ’em Gale! I mean Jane.

Meanwhile that great tidal wave washing away incumbents? Not so much, although a great crop of GOP contenders are swatting away the ‘old guard’ and bringing the type of excitement that only the truly crazy can, while the remaining GOPsaurus leaders come groveling for forgiveness. UNITY 2010!

(CNN) — As Sharron Angle celebrated her win in Nevada’s Republican Senate primary, she praised the Tea Party activists who backed her campaign and vowed to return the country to its constitutional principles.

Angle, a former Nevada Assembly member criticized as being too far from the mainstream to win, soared to the front of the crowded field of more than a dozen GOP candidates. She’ll face Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in the general election.

The Tea Party Express, which endorsed her campaign, declared Angle’s win “a huge victory for the Tea Parties.”

But so far this election season, the message for Tea Party activists has been “you win some, you lose some.”

As Angle was declaring victory, several time zones away, a slew of Tea Party candidates were going home empty-handed after establishment candidate Robert Hurt stomped them in the primary race for Virginia’s 5th Congressional District.

Despite a nationwide wave of anti-incumbent fervor and a Tea Party cry to “throw the bums out,” far more sitting lawmakers have survived than have been ousted.

“Races are an odd thing,” said Judson Phillips, a Tennessee lawyer and founder of Tea Party Nation. “Despite the national discontent on a lot of issues, the truth remains, so much of politics is local. It’s hard to draw a conclusion from the results we’ve seen because there are so many variables in play.”

Over behind the Zion Curtain, the rabid right that tossed out the ‘far-too-liberal’ Bob Bennett is already following the shoe! no following the gourd!

Utah’s leading conservative activists are split between business consultant Tim Bridgewater and attorney Mike Lee over who should replace lame duck senator Bob Bennett. The primary is next Tuesday, and the winner will face democrat Sam Granato in November.

David Kirkham, Utah Tea Party founder says it’s a matter of preference, because two Tea Party candidates won at the May 8th GOP Convention in Salt Lake City. Kirkham has said positive things about Bridgewater but has not made an official endorsement.

Lee has had endorsements from Glenn Beck’s 9/12 movement. The group is looking to Lee to safeguard the constitution, according the Darcy Van Orden, head of the Davis County chapter.

Kirkham sees Lee as an isolationist and Bridgewater as an international businessman. “When it gets down to it,” said Kirkham, “Mike Lee is a lawyer. Ninety five percent of his adult life, he’s been a lawyer for the federal government.”

To paraphrase Bill Maher there are those of us who want to take the country forward, not back.

once the leaders in SLC get divine intervention they will pass along God’s choice on Sunday, informally, to the people, and his will will be done.

Basically, who will be worth more to the church and not embarass them.
