PCW Spokesperson Jay Carney announced earlier this week that Charlie Blackwell and Mike the Mechanic from the American Heartland Coalition have been suspended from PCW for their actions last Saturday night at the White House Correspondent‘s Dinner.

Blackwell and Mike led a charge of unaffiliated wrestlers into the hall after Jimmy
Kimmel‘s routine and all hell broke loose as the group attacked the Republican and Democrat wrestlers as well as some of the honored guests.

Said Carney:

We simply can’t have this type of unruly behavior on one of Washington D.C‘s grandest traditions- politicos hobnobbing with and showcasing rich elite celebrities and other people with overly inflated visions of self importance.

Carney also noted that this is the second time the American Heartland Coalition has attacked the dinner- harking back to last year’s PCW show where the AHC ripped the event saying things such as:  “While the haves dance at their ‘Nerd Prom’, the have nots have to dance around their deteriorating economic situation and try to make ends meet.”

Also suspended, PCW’s Queen of Extreme Valora Salinas and the Mercenaries (Dawn McGill and Svetlana Kovalevski) for their ‘despicable attack’ on the Hollywood guests.

Valora Salinas and the Mercenaries: Dawn McGill and Svetlana Kovalevski

Said Carney:

No one goes to the dinner to see what kind of ridiculous get up Maureen Dowd of the New York Times is dressed in.  They go to see the stars and we simply can’t have loose cannons like Valora and the Mercenaries driving our Hollywood friends away.

Carney also announced that any wrestler not affiliated with the Republicans or Democrats would be ‘excused’ from this Thursday’s PCW Politics is War on
P-SPAN show.  The special two hour show will be split up with the Republicans
taking the first hour and the Democrats taking the second hour to begin tournaments to determine who the Red (Republican) and Blue (Democrat) title holders will be.

Carney noted that the Red and Blue titles will be awarded at next month’s PCW Loose Cannons Unleashed 8 pay per view show.

PCW Politics is War on P-SPAN
Viking Hall
Bristol, TN
Thursday May 3rd, 2012
Host: Johnny Suave

It was the first show after the big announcement on PCW Extreme Political TV that Republicans and Democrats will be competing separately for the Red and Blue title belts.  Plus, the arena was still buzzing over what went down at the White House Correspondent‘s Dinner aka “the Nerdprom” and subsequent suspensions of ringleaders Charlie Blackwell and Mike the Mechanic of the American Heartland Coalition along with PCW’s Queen of Extreme Valora Salinas and The Mercenaries (Dawn McGill and Svetlana Kovalevski).

Suave welcomes everyone to the pre Star Wars Day edition of PCW Politics is War on P-SPAN.

Backstage Fun
Democratic Leader Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and Republican Leader Rance Priebus argue back and forth about who will start the show- the Democrats or the Republicans.

PCW Television Champion ‘The One Man Hollywood A-List’ Stone Chism (D) barges
in and pushes Priebus away.  Chism demands to know why he wasn’t chosen higher
in the draft?  Wasserman-Schultz tries to answer but Chism interrupts her and says it’s not fair to put a talent of his stature in that type of position.  Chism reminds her that he represents the Hollywood Left contingent and that’s an important Democratic constituent.

Wasserman-Schultz apologizes and Chism he’ll have a ’preferred’ entry into the tournament to determine the ’Blue’ champion.  The words barely leave her mouth when Big Union (‘The Self Proclaimed Savior of the Middle Class’ Big Labor and James the Jeep Worker) (D) walk up.  Big Labor shoves Chism out of the way and informs Wasserman-Schultz that Big Union is a big supporter of Democrats and if anyone should have a preferred path to the Blue title it’s either him or James the Jeep Worker.

Wasserman-Schultz tries to sooth things over with Big Labor when Extreme Plaintiff Attorneys Felcher and Felcher walk out with a legal letter they say gives them a preferred entry into the Blue belt title match.

Then it’s the Green World Order (‘Extreme Vegan’ Brock Cole Lee, GreenPete,
‘Radishing’ Rick Rube- Agronomist, and PeaceNick w/Peta from PETA) who come out and claim their preferred spot.

Finally, PCW CEO Barack Obama’s (D-IL) second in command Joe Biden (D-DE) walks out to mediate the dispute.

Biden: As you all know, CEO Obama has a big stick that he uses to keep order here in PCW.  I know that none of you are red state country bumpkins.  You’re shrewd politicos but I am here to tell you that you are not getting what you want.  We want you all to have a fair shot at the Blue title. We think you all deserve a chance at the Blue title.  Democrats want you all to have a title shot.  So tonight, we’re going to have a battle royale…and it’s going to be the main event of the show!

Outside the Arena
The American Heartland Coalition’s Charlie Blackwell, Mike the Mechanic, Tequila Sheila, and Kenzie Blackwell huddle outside.  Suave reminds everyone that Blackwell and Mike are banned from the arena because what went down at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner.

(1) ‘The Japanese SuperDestroyer’ Yamamoto Tanaka (R) def. Rev. Oral
Hinnrich (R) of the God Squad

Tanaka hit a powerbomb early on and then finished Rev. Hinnrich with the Japanese SuperDestroyer @ :58.

Post match, Tanaka does a commercial for a big corporation who then lavish the former three time PCW champion with cash.

Texas Jack (R) hits the ring and breaks up Tanaka’s party.  He thanks the Republican Establishment for being short sighted corporate jackasses.  He tries to goad Tanaka into a extreme hardcore brawl but Priebus comes out and puts a stop to it.

Priebus says the days of the ‘old’ PCW without rules are over.  The Republican says he’s enacted a series of new rules designed to make the PCW Red belt more corporate friendly.  No more hardcore, out of control brawls.  No more weapons. Only good ol’ fashioned all-American wrestling.    Priebus then books Texas Jack in a match against RINO- The Wonk Machine.

(2) RINO- The Wonk Machine (R) def. Texas Jack (R) by DQ

Good match into Texas Jack got pissed off at RINO and tossed him out of the ring.  Jack grabbed a chair and clobbered the Wonk Machine with it to get disqualified @ 6:03.

Post match, Texas Jack drills the referee with the chair and chases Priebus to the back.

In “The Life of Julia,” the Obama campaign released a web slideshow that takes the viewer through the life stages of a fictional woman named Julia. At age three, a slide says Julia is enrolled in the government Head Start program, which says presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney would slash. Later in life, the web tool says Julia received cheaper student loans, a Pell Grant and a tax credit. She benefited from the health care law and in her older years, Julia received Medicare and Social Security.

Backstage
PCW Investigative Reporter Woodward Bernstein talks with ‘the Massachusetts Redblood’ Mitt Romney (R-MA).  Romney notes that with the disappointing job numbers out there that the thing Julia needs the most is a job.

(3) Big Oil (R) w/Kirk Walstreit def. ‘The Right Reverend’ Randy Richardson (R)

In a wild match that saw both men nearly get counted out, Big Oil hit the Oklahoma Driller to defeat Triple R @ 11:28 and move on in the tournament.

After the match, Big Oil got on the microphone and announced that the naming rights to his finisher, the Oklahoma Driller, had been sold for over two million dollars to Chevron.  So now, Big Oil says the finisher is to be called the ‘Chevron Oil Oklahoma Driller.’

Suave: Swell.

Julia
The latest political sensation Julia walks out with Democratic strategist Karen Finney.  Finney calls Julia the epitomy of ‘what women want’ and says if Mitt Romney had his way, she’d be dead in her mid-30′s.

Suave: Huh?

Finney says Julia will now be the Democrats standard barrier to win the PCW Women’s title back from Miss USA.

COMMERCIAL BREAK

Why should you buy this book?

Jesusland v Progressiveville isn’t the usual predictable partisan
trashing of the other side like other political books. J v P doesn’t pander to
the fringes of both sides like most books do.

Jesusland vs Progressiveville parodies the very ones responsible for over the top devisive political discussion: Markos Moutilsas, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews, Ann Coulter, Ed Schultz, Glenn Beck, Bill O’Reilly, Alec Baldwin among others.

The cover with Sarah Palin and Keith Olbermann sums up just what our
political discourse has become.

Brought to you by the same demented bunch behind Political Championship Wrestling and not bought and paid for by big corporations
or either political party, Jesusland vs. Progressiveville is a political satire
that would be f#$@ing hilarious if parts of the book wasn’t painfully true about the abject dysfunction in American politics.

Available at Amazon.com and other online bookstores.

(4) Kirk Walstreit (R) w/Big Oil def. Magnum PO’d w/ Robyn Masters

Walstreit wins with the Stock Market Plunge @ 7:19 to advance.  Then he got on the microphone.

Walstreit: It’s about time the adults took back PCW and stopped all this hardcore, extreme crap.  It’s over, people.  Go back to your computers and download pictures of Megan Fox to amuse yourselves while the big boys take care of business.  Go back to your Star Wars conventions along with the rest of the job challenged adult adolescents and–

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsyzRUKwgng

Suave: Indeed.  May the Fourth be with you.

Joe Biden‘s Office
Priebus and Wasserman-Schultz are joined by John Boehner (R-OH) and Harry Reid (D-NV) as they bicker back and forth about the format of the shows.  Then…

Two men come out and unroll a white carpet. Dancers then dance. Ballet dancers…ballet? Little children walk up the white carpet and drop rose petals. Someone lets loose some pigeons…not sure just how they’ll get out of the building.  PCW CEO Barack Obama appears.

Obama: I also find your lack of faith disturbing.  Here’s my proposition.  The Red show will get a half hour a week at a venue of their choosing.  The Blue show will get a half hour a week at their venue.  PCW Extreme Political TV will be the home show for the independents/non-affiliated.

(5) Julia (D) def. Kacie Myers

Julia wins but with help from Women for Women (Code Pink and Emily S. List) and then from the referee who ’assists’ Julia in defeating Independent Myers.

Main Event: Democratic Battle Royale

No one wants to fight- all believe they should get an automatic pass to the title match.  Then newcomer and former PCW Champion Daniel-San (D) runs down and takes out each wrestler one by one.  He tosses Big Labor out to claim the win at 24:41

Immediately after the match, the entire group raced to the back towards CEO Obama’s office as the show ends…

Last night in Wisconsin the state Republican Party tried a few parliamentary maneuvers to drive tea party members from the ranks of the GOP. For reasons I cannot begin to fathom, the Wisconsin GOP seems willing to sacrifice tea party energy in the Scott Walker recall in order to save Tommy Thompson’s Senate bid.

In Indiana, Eric Cantor has weighed in on behalf of Barack Obama’s favorite Republican Senator, Dick Lugar. Just as every major conservative group lines up with Richard Mourdock, Eric Cantor begins urging Democrats to turn out for Lugar.

But Indiana and Wisconsin are not the only playing field. More and more reporters are rumbling that Eric Cantor is going to actively engage in House races to combat the tea party. He wants a more docile, pliable, controllable caucus — one that will do as it is told by its party leaders, not its constituents.

The proof of this is in North Carolina’s 8th Congressional District.

If the Tea Party wants to fight it out instead of retreating, it needs to support Dr. Scott Keadle in North Carolina.

Frankly, given just how terribly Rene Elmers has treated the tea party that worked so hard to get her elected, going all in for Dr. Keadle might also be somewhat cathartic.

So Occupy Wall Street wants to “celebrate” their special holiday long called “May Day” by “shutting down” 130 American cities today, with various websites calling for a halt to school, work, housework, schoolwork or any other unpleasantness in order to assert power “by the 99%” against the wicked “One Percent.”

And here they go again today with their clenched fist and their angry protests against the American system, and their supposed expression of free speech by “shutting down” American cities, interfering with other people’s ability to earn a living, and breaking their agreement or promise to work (for the few who have jobs) or go to school.

Using much the same language that some self appointed Tea Party leaders also use – the usual “power to the people” and the “truth to power” type of thing, the “Occupy” protesters may have been out of sight and out of mind all of this time but that was just the winter shut down.  For those who lived through or studied the radical left of the 1960′s this is the usual thing – it is now party time.

Ironically, some of the more radical types moving around in our midst happen to love that Guy Fawkes image – that mask with a smiley face.  That became the “occupy” symbol but is also used by some as their badge of protest.  You should be aware that Fawkes was a terrorist in Great Britain, and that “Guy Fawkes Day” is celebrated every year over there as the day that he was captured and his terrorist plot to bomb the Parliament building was stopped.

I have seen some within our movement – usually the ones who hate anyone expressing a belief in Christianity, who are conservative and who say they vote in GOP primaries – employ that symbol and that other revered symbol of the “truth to power” group (as they fancy themselves), Che Guevara, the Marxist thug revolutionary whose face adorns so many T-shirts.

I find it rather ironic in fact, that there are some similarities between the Occupy Wall Street “May Day” protestors and some within our ranks of the Tea Party.  Before I go into a few of those similarities I will caution you that of course there are some rather enormous differences, and I am only speaking of a few within the ranks, none of whom I would ever recommend.

Many of the ironies may be lost on you Dear Reader, so I will stroll you through a few of them to help commemorate “May Day.”

First, it is the date/holiday which Communist occupied countries have traditionally “partied” with marches and demonstrations to show “worker solidarity.”  And of course, if you lived in such a country everyone is supposed to act like they are so happy and pleased to be living in a slave state.

Second, May Day is the “holiday” which the radical left used during the 1960′s to launch their own “May Day” protests against the Vietnam War, their demand for legalization of drugs, their upset over the “influence” of “establishment” including the evil corporations, rich bankers, both political parties, etc.

Oh.  That may sound like some Tea Party types you may know.  So, did you catch the similarities?

Let me be clear on this: I consider myself a “Taxed Enough Already” sympathizer but just like in the conservative cause at large there are some differences of approach within both groups.  I have been a Tea Party, 912 and “patriots” supporter for years, but have been a Christian-conservative many MORE years.

There is a part of the Tea Party which sounds virtually indistinguishable from the 1960′s radical left (ie. drugs, war, and don’t tell me what I am allowed to do).  And those Occupy Wall Streeters, in turn, make sounds (or grunts) like what comes out of the mouth or the “pen” of some of today’s self-appointed Tea Party locals.  Know them by their fruits.

Please note: I do not know of any national Tea Party, 912 or patriot groups or leaders where there is the slightest resemblance to the Occupy Wall Street leftists.  I am referring instead, to Facebook pages and websites and public meetings which anyone can access, and which I have.  Do not laugh – if you have a Facebook page you may very well be “friended” to several of these people – who sound just like Occupy Wall Street May Day leftist protestors.

So tomorrow in a number of cities in America the “Occupy” groups which sounds exactly like Communists, exactly like 1960′s leftists, exactly like the supporters of a certain candidate still running for the GOP nomination for President, and many of whom also dress pretty much the same as well (ie. “we are the ‘workers’”) – will “converge” if that is the word, in a number of cities to make known their protest.

What exactly are they protesting?

Well, they want us to know they are the 99%, and represent “the people.”

That reminds me of the result of some primary elections where I’ve read “we are the people” on Tea Party webpages for the past 2 years, posted by people too busy to attend “how to” workshops offered by American Majority or Leadership Institute or at the recent Pennsylvania Leadership Conference in Harrisburg, PA.

After 2 years of such complaints which never include any attempt to actually meet with officeholders to attempt to influence their vote on key issues, and repeated “we are the people” claims, we then saw primary results (again) in those areas dominated by such groups, of 15 to 25 percent of the vote for their “we are the people” candidate.

Just like the Wall Street leftists, you cannot find too many actual issues that they wish to object to.  They are simply “tired” of “the establishment” running things and they demand that “the will of the people” should be listened to.  Ah.

Similarly tomorrow we will have a group whose philosophy is represented by their clenched fist – the same symbol of Communists around the world for over 80 years and of the American radical left since the 1960′s, marching around to offer some sort of vague protest against “the establishment”.

Three of the groups which are marching together are the SEIU (the “Service Employees International Union”), the Marxists by whatever name they are using this year and the illegals.

About illegals, the radicals of Moveon Dot Org now say that this word describing illegal aliens, we are no longer allowed to use.  It is they aver, so racist and judgmental.

The normally even tempered liberal Juan Williams of Fox News objects, saying that it is like speaking of the bad performance of a student by calling him “dummy.”

No Juan.  Your son or daughter who did not do well in school is NOT at all “just like” an illegal.  He broke no law.  It is never a good idea to call such a child a “dummy” but it is NOT at all the same thing as someone who broke the law to crash our border and live here in violation of our law.

No, they now say, it is preferable to call these visitors to our shores in whose behalf they will “march” on today’s “May Day,” as “undocumented immigrants”.

If I may offer: that is both incorrect and untrue – an immigrant is a person who legally enters a country.

If you lost your documentation then you go get another copy.

If you are here illegally you are breaking the law, you are not allowed to be here, and you are an alien, someone who is subject to the jurisdiction of another country and whose allegiance is to another country.

In American immigration law there is no category for “undocumented worker.”  You can be a legal alien, or an illegal alien.  You can be an immigrant.  You can enter the “path” to American citizenship.  Or you can ignore American law and be an illegal.

And so “illegals” are one of the groups supposedly being represented by the radicalized “May Day” protesters with their new name this year, Occupy Wall Street, demanding the same old thing as before, a leftwing, anti-America agenda.

These are the groups which will be marching around today, some of whose members will engage in civil disobedience to press their complaints against “the 1%” they say are running things.

And that brings us to the most interesting two ironies.

First, the illegals’ cause and the cause of “revolution” to overturn the American system, including our election system which enthrones those who win a majority (or sometimes a plurality, ie. Bill Clinton’s reelection with 42%) of votes – are being championed by illegal means.

Well now isn’t that symmetric?

Second, this “May Day” and its passive or civil disobedience, follows my report yesterday on the call of the Catholic Bishops to work within the system, to put pressure on elected officials, to replace elected officials and if all of that fails then to actually engage in civil disobedience.

So there’s two very disparate groups both speaking of change, both opposing the “establishment” and both saying that their followers should make change but if that fails, then their followers should resist to the point of civil disobedience.

What is the difference?

The Catholics work within the system, including pressing elected officials not to abrogate their religious liberty under the First Amendment.  The Occupy Leftists seem to tear down the system, and demand that government should have no restriction on its powers to force people to give them money and power.

In other words the Occupy Leftists would demand that their law breaking should not be prosecuted because that is just their free speech…. and they would be the one yelling the loudest to put Catholics in jail who refuse to pay for infanticide services which their religion teaches is murder.

The Catholics uphold the idea of government restrained by the Bill of Rights.  The Occupy Leftists demand more power be used by the government to take from one group and give to them what they did not earn.

The Catholics ask nothing from government except to be left alone.  The Occupy Leftists demand that government take from one group to give to them.

The Catholics have jobs and are being urged to vote for candidates who will uphold the American Bill of Rights and the Rule of Law.  The clenched fist of the Marxists posing as Occupy Wall Street is a symbol of oppression from Bolshevik Russia, used by jobless leftists – often students, labor union leaders and professional agitators in America for many years as a thinly veiled threat of violence to tear down the system they hate.

And that sums it up: one group refuses as a matter of conscience to allow the government to violate their most core beliefs about the right to life, and defends what is great about America – the First Amendment and the idea of constraining government power.

The Occupy Wall Street “May Day” protesters have kicked off their new season to complain about the American system and demand more power to the government, and more of an assault on freedom.

Let us hope and pray that our newer friends who consider themselves Tea Party, 912 and/or patriot minded, stand on this side of the line with conservatives, with Christians and Jews, with the Catholics, and not on that side represented by the clenched fist complaining about “the establishment” where both parties are the same thing (to them), and the country is run by the bankers, the corporations, the Jews, the monied interests.

I’m on the side of freedom, on the side which demands constraints on government power, which demands that every elected official answer the question, what are you doing right now to defend your constituents from our own government?   I’m on the side that knows moral right is the foundation basis of law, not simply “I want” and “I demand” or as they said at age 7, “gimme gimme.”

I’m for the American system, and with the primary election over here in Pennsylvania, I have a clear picture of which candidates I can support and which ones whose election I fear.  There’s a heck of a difference.  The other side has the clenched fist in the air, whines when you speak of “illegals.”  They want to “transform” America and I’m with the group that wants to preserve what the American founding fathers created, and get us back on that path which led to American exceptionalism.

PCW Extreme Political TV
Frederick High School
Frederick, MD
Monday April 30th, 2012
Host: Johnny Suave

Suave is in the ring to start the show but he doesn’t even get through the introduction before…

Two men come out and unroll a white carpet to the ring steps. Dancers then dance. Ballet dancers…ballet?
Little children walk up the white carpet and drop rose petals. Someone lets loose some pigeons…not sure just how they’ll get out of the building. The crowd stands as PCW CEO Barack Obama appears. Behind Obama walks Joe Biden.  Both look incredibly pissed off.

Suave wonders if it has anything to do with this…

Replay: White House Correspondent‘s Dinner aka ‘Nerdprom’
It’s the big night.  The stars come out at the gala including Kim Kardashian, Woody Harrelson, George Clooney, Steven Spielberg, Paul Rudd, Elizabeth Banks, Reese Witherspoon, Daniel Day-Lewis, Martha Stewart, Diane Keaton, Rashida Jones, John Legend among
others interspersed with the ‘Blue’ table with Democrat wrestlers on one side of the room and the ‘Red’ table on the other side with Republicans.

Suave: Because nothing says America more than politicians parading around with celebrities at a time where ordinary Americans aren’t any closer to pulling themselves out of the economic hole they’re stuck in.

PCW CEO Barack Obama gave the traditional joke-filled address…

Obama: Seriously, guys, what am I doing here? I’m the CEO of Political Championship Wrestling and I’m opening for Jimmy
Kimmel?…Why am I telling knock-knock jokes to Kim Kardashian? What is she famous for, anyway?

And then gave way to late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel…

Kimmel: When I think ‘Mitt Romney,’ I don’t think Etch a Sketch — I think of Twister. You can’t even play Monopoly with him, because he keeps putting the dog on the car.”

Both the Blue and Red tables hurled barbs back and forth until Kimmel uncorked this…

Kimmel: Some people say journalism is in decline, they say you’ve become too politicized, too focused on sensationalism, they say you no longer honor your duty to inform America but instead actively divide us so that your corporate overlord can rake in the profits.  I don’t have a joke for this, it’s just what some people say.

*”Can You Hear the People Sing” from Les Miserables plays*

Charlie Blackwell and Mike the Mechanic from the American Heartland Coalition charged into the hall with PCW’s Queen of Extreme Valora Salinas, Politically Incorrect (Al Cahall, Nic Koteen, NRA), The Tea Party (Average Joe and ‘Tin Cup’ Ray McAvay), PBR and Chief, The Mercenaries (Dawn McGill and Svetlana Kovalevski), Ron Claude Von Dammit, Halitosis, SNAFU, Brad Company, Ken Worth- The American Trucker, and Mitch Thomas- American Taxpayer.  Suffice to say, all hell broke loose.

Blackwell hurls two steel chairs at the Republican table and the group wades in.  Dawn McGill uses a kendo stick on Kim Kardashian and then blasts Republican Lani Harlot with a brutal kendo stick shot to the back.  , and that’s enough to draw a “PCW! PCW! PCW!” chant from the crowd. Several celebs try to run away, but Valora Salinas chases them down and levels Martha Stewart with a clothesline. Both Red and Blue tables are engulfed in brawls as McGill goes back to work with the kendo stick before we on a running Reese
Witherspoon.  Svetlana Kovalevski wedges one of the chairs into the door and McGill sends a poor Diane Keaton into the chair.

McGill: And I hated Annie Hall, too!

Elizabeth Banks hides behind Woody Harrelson who tries to talk some sense into Valora.  The probem is Valora’s not buying it and thumbs Harrelson in the eye. Banks gets back to her feet and tries to make a run for it but McGIll connects with a kendo stick shot to her back. Then Kovalevski hits a springboard dropkick that nearly takes Banks’s head off.

Blackwell and Mike the Mechanic make it up to the dias where PCW CEO Obama and Biden long since fled the area and Kimmel simply steps out of the way.

Blackwell: Enough.  The ‘issue’ is the fact that our politicians in Washington D.C. seem to be more concerned about money, power, and re-election than they are actually doing the work that we, the voters, elected them to do. The ‘issue’ is how are we going to get
government to address the myriad of problems ordinary Americans face? Stagnant wages. Rising cost of living. Health care. Taxes. Bankruptcy and foreclosures. As a patriotic, free-thinking, independent, progressively populist American, I’m equally as f’n proud to stand for what I think is right for America and not what’s right for the Republicans and Democrats. I’m even more f’n proud that I
choose to stand with ordinary Americans. You know, the ones who’ve seen their standard of living drop over the past few years and have been ignored by both parties because they’re too busy sucking up to their big money special interests to actually solve their problems.

The Republican and Democratic wrestlers try to get the podium but are driven back.

Blackwell: No, the people who have every right to be angry are ordinary Americans. The ones who’ve seen their government hijacked by
extremists on both sides of the aisle and special interest groups. The ones who fight a never ending battle to feed their families and pay their mortgages with stagnant wages against the rising tide of the cost of living. The ones who don’t show up at expensive fund raisers or write out large checks to candidates. The ones who are losing their houses at an exponential rate to foreclosure. The ones who have to work multiple jobs to keep up and can’t afford the cost health insurance thanks to the greed of pharmacuetical companies, trial lawyers and insurance companies. The ones who’ve pretty much tuned out the political process for the one dollar, one vote, slime-filled cesspool that’s it’s become. Those are the ones who have the right to be angry; not partisans who shine the light on the cockroaches who infest the other parties while ignoring the ones that infest his own.

===========

Obama angrily cuts the replay and says he’s going to deal with what happened Saturday night but suddenly we go to the back.

Both Republicans and Democrats are laying out Blackwell and theindependents.

Then they realize something…and then the Republicans and Democrats go after each other.

Obama and Biden head to the back to stop the brawling as the show ends.

The Left in Wisconsin has surrendered its lead in grassroots organizing as Tea Party groups hone their skills thanks to a training blitz by American Majority, the nations’ premier conservative activist and candidate training organization.  To equip grassroots conservatives who are on the front-lines of what has become a nationally observed battle in Wisconsin, American Majority launched a 5-week long Spring Training Blitz to train hundreds of activists in 8 separate trainings across Wisconsin.

The Tea Party in Wisconsin has consistently answered the call when challenged by Big Labor and Wisconsin Progressives.  From last year’s battles over the Budget Repair Bill, the Prosser-Kloppenburg Supreme Court election and recount, State Senate recalls both for and against their opponents and allies, to ensuring transparency with Verify the Recall, the Tea Party has been winning these clashes with the Left.

Leading up to this spring American Majority was inundated with training requests from individuals and groups ready to move beyond the protests and mobilize into a real force.  The Spring Training Blitz was launched in response to these requests for training and has stops in Wausau, Milwaukee, Waterloo, New Berlin, Manitowoc, Oostburg, Franklin, and Eagle River.  It comes at a time when Tea Party leaders in Wisconsin are building a groundswell movement that is poised to once again turn back the Left’s assault on the conservative principles that inspired the movement.

American Majority’s work and the dedication of local Tea Party leaders has drawn high praise from the media and grudging respect from the Left.  Robert Mentzer, opinion editor for the Wausau Daily Herald attended an American Majority training and wrote a glowing column on how American Majority is helping forge the Tea Party into a permanent grassroots force.

Radical student protesters from the United Council of UW Students, a leftwing student group with a presence on every University of Wisconsin campus, attempted to disrupt Jake Jacobs speaking at the Manitowoc TEA Movement’s Education Day, where American Majority was training about building a robust conservative infrastructure.

American Majority even inspired left-wing blogger Abe Sauer, to go on a profanity laced rant on the inadequacies of the Left and triumphs of the Right.

No longer can liberals in Wisconsin claim to have a monopoly on cutting edge grassroots tactics and organization that make political victory possible.  Thanks to the passion and patriotism of Tea Party leaders, the grassroots organizing momentum in Wisconsin is shifting rightward.

The media’s wishful thinking about the demise of the Tea Party continues to drive coverage during the run-up to the election despite plenty of contrary facts.   Last week, Politico’s James Hohmann declared boldly that, “the Republican Party establishment has withstood the tea-party revolution.”   Hohmann’s analysis rests on the fact that he didn’t see many of the “Gadsden flag-waving insurgents” at the RNC’s recent spring meeting at some swanky resort in Scottsdale, Arizona.   For all those in the press looking, waiting, praying and inventing reasons to believe that the Tea Party is waning, I have news for you.  They don’t care about the RNC – at least not right now.

Tea Partiers are certainly not going to fly themselves out to a posh hotel and sit in a room full of suits who spend most of their time engrossed in their mutual admiration society and precious little doing something to build a stronger, more principled national force for reform.

For the Tea Party, the present Republican Party establishment is becoming little more than a legal method for obtaining a place on the ballot.  Tea Partiers understand that nationwide, the Republican Party is becoming less relevant as aging committees at the local and state level lack the energy, tactical knowledge and money to mount effective campaigns.

The California Party has drifted into irrelevancy.  In Minnesota, the State Party just received an eviction notice from their headquarters while the state GOP in Illinois is buckling under debt.   Other state parties, particularly in large, populous states are a mere shell of what they were only a decade ago.

The decline of the GOP will be evident in the 2012 cycle in the rise of the PACs and Super PACs who will likely spend more money and deploy more people than the GOP on a national basis in support of Republican candidates.  Those entities will look to the Tea Party to staff their ground operations and GOTV pushes this fall.  The so-called GOP establishment will play second fiddle to the national PACs and the dozens of conservative grassroots organizations who are more aggressive, more passionate, better prepared, better financed and more effective.

There is also a very real philosophical battle going on that the folks drinking scotch in Scottsdale should be concerned about.  Tea Party leaders see the GOP as too accommodating to the progressive left, and quite frankly, the statists in the Republican Party.  They may still be learning the game, but they understand that playing by their opponents’ rules won’t be a winning strategy.  In the end, the Tea Party is seeking not to take over the GOP but reform it from the bottom up.

The movement is learning how to win even more effectively than it did in 2010.  For anyone who thinks the Tea Party lacks influence in the party or national political scene, tell that to Orrin Hatch and Dick Lugar.   If Governor Scott Walker survives a recall election against millions pumped in from unions and progressive groups, the Republican Party should not get the credit.  It will be the Tea Party groups and other conservative organizations across Wisconsin and the Midwest who will stave off the full assault of the public employees and liberal interest groups who want to roll back Walker’s reforms.

An important sign of the Tea Party’s influence and evolution can be seen in the Lugar challenge for instance.   The Tea Party alternative in that race is a credible candidate with a real shot at winning both the primary and the general elections tossing out a Republican incumbent who after years in Washington is out of touch with the needs of his constituents and America was more a Ruling Class statist than a defender of limited government.

Of course the folks at the RNC would like to treat the Tea Party as just another coalition.  This should be no surprise.  It’s a defense mechanism and one that blinds them to the reality that unlike any other group within the GOP today, the Tea Party’s aim is to hold the Republican Party accountable for talking tough with little action.  Honestly, as one who is a social conservative, the social conservative coalition isn’t.  The Tea Partiers will.

The Tea Partiers goal isn’t to run the cautious and plodding Grand Old Party establishment.  They want to reform conservativism in America and bring the values of limited, constitutional government, lower taxes and more freedom back into the mainstream.  If taking over the RNC is a necessary evil to accomplish that goal, the Tea Party is already laying the groundwork at the local level to do it from the bottom up.

Perhaps when they do, the RNC won’t have meetings in posh hotels and spend millions to entertain its members.  Maybe, the RNC would focus more on winning than just trying not to lose.

PCW Politics is War on P-SPAN Recap
Huntington Civic Center
Huntington, WV
Thursday April 26th, 2012

PCW Extreme Political TV Main Event: Yamamoto Tanaka (R) w/ Mitt Romney (R-MA) vs. Newt Gingrich (R-GA)
The bell rang and Gingrich, to his credit, took the fight right to Tanaka and promptly ate a powerbomb.

Tanaka, to his credit, dispensed with the gratiutious destruction of Mr. Gingrich and merely dragged him up to the top rope for the cursery Japanese SuperDestroyer. With Gingrich splayed out on the mat, Tanaka put his foot on Gingrich’s chest and the referee could have counted to three hundred and the result would have been the same.

Newt Gingrich (R-GA) hobbles out and talks with the ‘Voice of PCW’ Johnny Suave.

Gingrich: Fine.  I’m suspending my campaign.  Are you happy now?

Then Gingrich limps off.

(1) World B. Peace def. PBR w/Chief
PBR is about to hit the Blue Ribbon Blast when Peace snaps ands elbows PBR in the head, knocking him out cold.  Peace makes the cover for the easy pin.

PCW CEO Barack Obama Addresses World B. Peace
Two men come out and unroll a white carpet to the ring steps. Dancers then dance. Ballet dancers…ballet? Little children walk up the white carpet and drop rose petals.
Someone lets loose some pigeons…not sure just how they’ll get out of the building. The crowd stands as PCW CEO Barack Obama appears. Behind Obama walks Joe Biden.

Obama says he wants to address the whole World B. Peace thing.

Last Night: World B. Peace vs. Richard Headd of Guys With Unfortunate
First Names Given Their Surnames.
Peace swept into PCW earlier in the night with a message of love and peace. Then Headd accidently collided with him and Peace uncorked a nasty elbow to the back of his head and knocked him out cold for the win.

Peace then apologized afterwards and blamed the incident on a sudden outbreak of acne that irritated his face.

Suave: You mean to tell me that the reason he decked him with that elbow is because World Peace broke out?

Biden takes the microphone and says it’s time to heed the timeless advice from Teddy Roosevelt: ‘Speak softly and carry a big stick.’ End of quote.

Biden: I promise you, the president has a big stick.

Pause for the requisite flurry of snickering from the crowd.

Obama: Joe, don’t say that.

More snickering from the crowd.

Obama then announces that ‘he’s had enough’ of the extreme nonsense in PCW.
First, he’s suspending World Peace for two weeks.

Suave: Wait.  Can someone actually suspend World Peace?  Well, besides actually declaring war and such…

Obama then clarifies that he’s suspending the wrestler- World B. Peace.  Then he turns to the big announcement.

Obama: Tonight, just like the NFL is doing in New York, PCW is having a draft.  Democrats and Republicans will get to choose wrestlers to compete for the “Blue” belt (Democrats) and the “Red” belt (Republicans).

Obama added as a special treat, the draftees also get to go to Saturday night’s ‘nerd prom’ aka the White House Correspondents Dinner.

Backstage, PCW Investigative Reporter Woodward Bernstein asked Obama spokesperson Jay Carney what about the Independents and those not drafted.  Carney shrugged and walked away.

COMMERCIAL BREAK

In the ring, PCW CEO Obama stands behind a podium a la NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell with Democratic Leader Debbie Wasserman-Schultz to the left of him and Republican Leader Rance Priebus to the right.

The draft then began…

PCW Draft
Round One:
Democrats- PCW Champion The Sanderman; Republicans- Yamamoto Tanaka

Round Two:
Republicans- Scott Walker’s Rangers: Ronnie and John Walker; Democrats- Big Union: Big Labor and James the Jeep Worker with Union Maid

Round Three:

Round Five:
Democrats- Green World Order: “Radishing” Rick Rube- Agronomist, ‘Extreme Vegan’ Brock Cole Lee, GreenPete, PeaceNick, and Peta from PETA; Republicans- Religious Right: Rev. Oral Hinnrich and Rev. Buddy Flambe.

Round Six:

Round Seven:
Democrats- PCW Television Champion ’The One Man Hollywood A-List’ Stone Chism; Republicans- Arizona Rough Justice: D.B. Ruff and Connor
Justice

The first seven rounds provided little drama.  It was the final round that raised a few eyebrows.

Round Eight:
Republicans- RINO- The Wonk Machine

Suave noted that Mitt Romney’s influence may have pushed that pick.

Then the Democrats stunned everyone.

Democrats- former PCW Champion Daniel-San.

As Daniel-San walked up to the podium, John Creese and the Cobra Conservatives attacked and set off a brawl between the Republicans and Democrats.

This was a conversation that occurred between myself and another member of the Oregon Republican Party regarding Rick Santorum’s disappointing withdrawal from the Presidential Primary.

by Scott Rohter April 29, 2012

Scott: There was a lot of pressure put on Rick Santorum to withdraw from the race and to end his Presidential campaign. My guess is that it was both financial and personal. Regardless of what anyone else says, this was not a good day for America. The day that Senator Santorum suspended his campaign wasn’t a good day for the Conservative cause either. He was the last authentic Christian conservative voice in the race. Now the Republican Party has been duped once again by its Progressive Establishment. Most Republicans will vote for Mitt Romney, and of course the Establishment is already counting on that. Perhaps it is about time that we begin revitalizing the Republican Party from the inside out, from whatever remains of the TEA Party, so that by the time the next election rolls around, no matter who wins this one, we will be ready and running with both feet on the ground. What do you think?? There is no hope of building a Party based upon principles with a membership full of compromisers! Thomas Jefferson said, “On matters of principle stand like a rock!…”

David: Politics is about compromise. To fail to accept that is to spit in the face of the men who wrote and ratified our Constitution. Many of the Founding Fathers actually hated each other. At least one of them actually killed another (Burr killed Hamilton in 1803). Yet most of them somehow managed to make the compromises that enabled them to build this nation.

Scott: “In matters of principle stand like a rock! In other matters Jefferson said, “swim with the current.”…. And Jefferson was neither stupid nor hot headed enough to get involved in a duel… A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing.

David: I know Jefferson quite well, and the quote you’ve used is simply not the sort of thing that he would have said. Yes, a little bit of knowledge can be dangerous. So can Jefferson’s quotes when they are taken out of context. His letter to the Danbury Baptists regarding the wall of separation between Church and State is a perfect example. I would suggest a good biography of the man to understand his thinking so that you can spot an improperly used quote whenever you see one.

Scott: Well you certainly do have the mind of Thomas Jefferson. You and Mitt Romney both! I didn’t know that I was in the presence of such greatness! I’m both humbled and honored to be in such fine company these days. It’s just too bad that Jefferson isn’t here to lend credibility to your statement. His quote is simple enough though, and quite straight forward. I don’t think it requires an interpreter. It doesn’t actually matter where Jefferson made his famous statement. That is what is so great about real men of integrity throughout history. Unlike politicians of today, people with integrity don’t tailor their message to fit their individual audience! They win over their audience to their individual message!! There is a BIG DIFFERENCE.

Rick Santorum is just such a man today. Mitt Romney is not!! Just listen to Jefferson’s own words, and try to imagine him speaking. “IN MATTERS OF PRINCIPLE” stand like a rock! “In other matters swim with the current.” That sounds like a principle to me. It wasn’t specifically tailored to suit the Danbury Baptists. What core conservative principles has Mitt Romney consistently held throughout his long political career?? Pro-life? He used to be pro-choice. As far as I can determine he still hasn’t signed the Susan B Anthony Pro-Life Pledge… Obama Care?? He used to be for it before he was against it. That’s the same way he feels now about individual mandates!.. The Second Amendment? Why he used to be against it before he was for it… Reagan-Bush?? When he was running to be the Governor of Massachusetts he said, “I’m not trying to return to Reagan-Bush!’ Now he just simply loves Reagan–Bush. So if you want to elect another smooth talking politician then Mitt Romney is definitely your guy.

It’s just too bad that most Republicans today, in fact most politicians today don’t actually have any principles anymore, at least not any more than most of the people that they claim to represent! The only principle that I see the Establishment Republicans hanging on to is compromise, which isn’t actually in itself an ideological principle, (It is a tactic) and victory (which isn’t a principle either)!

Frank Luntz recently had an article in the Washington Post about five myths regarding conservative voters. This may very well be a starting point for a winning strategy for Romney in this year’s general election campaign if he can accurately and forcefully articulate the message. In short, he has to delineate a vision, based on pragmatic conservative ideology, that separates him and the Republican Party from the Democrats and Obama. No matter how one views anything, this country was, is and shall continue to be a right-of-center country. This does not infer that the country is the embodiment of the Liberal caricature of the conservative voter. Those views from the left, best exemplified by ignorant comments like people “clinging to their Bibles and guns,” is the traditional view of conservatives held by Liberals. Certainly, there may in fact be a segment that does “cling to Bibles and guns,” but even at that, why should it be the source of mockery?

Instead, the true conservative voter, as the unofficial polling by Luntz suggests, is more pragmatic than ideological. Originally, I was researching an article on the evangelical vote and it became evident early that the traditional view that evangelical voters are like bleating sheep following a Republican leader was itself a myth. Clearly, the fundamentalist voter is more apt to vote Republican, but to state that Republicans can take for granted the evangelical vote every four years is false. The same is true of conservatives. Even in 2008, some 20% of self-described conservatives voted for Obama, up from the 15% of that vote that went to Kerry in 2004.

There is so much talk about the establishment versus the Tea Party or insurgent candidates. In fact, they should be working together towards a common goal, the first of which is getting Obama out of office. The “enemy” is Obama and his liberal policies. He can no longer run on a campaign theme of “hope and change.” He is not some blank slate unknown with a silver tongue. He has a record now upon which he must run and one which he must defend. The fact he was resorted to a campaign of divide and conquer is indicative of the fact that this record cannot be defended. Being your typical liberal, he has resorted to diversionary tactics. One week, we have the “war on women,” the next the “war on the poor,” followed by the “war on youth,” etc. Inevitably, we will have the “war on senior citizens.” He takes advantage of the angst over income inequality by pitting Wall Street against Main Street.

Some amongst the conservative ranks have resorted to bombastic remarks and policy proposals, but they are few and far between. Some have called for the absolute abolition of the Department of Education, or Energy, or the EPA. I, as a conservative and Republican, have problems with these entities also. In past articles, I have not called for the abolition of the Department of Education, but a reform of it whereby they get out of K-12 education and leave that to state and local governments where it was for years without federal intervention with greater outcomes. The Energy Department clearly is in need of reform, yet there has to be a national entity to coordinate national priorities when it comes to energy policy. However, they should not be picking the winners and losers when it comes to energy exploitation or sources. The EPA should be forced, through changes to the laws that formed that agency, to do cost/benefit analysis when making regulations, something they are not required to do by law as it stands now.

This is the first area to look at when it comes to the Luntz article: the myth that conservative voters care most about the size of the federal government. The current size of the government is a reflection of the regulatory state. Years and years ago, Alexis de Toqueville noted that bureaucracy was the greatest threat to the emerging American democracy. To read the Constitution- a guide to the role of the federal government- one would expect only a Defense, State, Treasury, and Justice Department. Instead, we have numerous executive departments, agencies, commissions, authorities, and boards. Unfortunately, the growth of the federal bureaucracy and the regulatory state is not unique to liberals and Democrats as Republicans have been guilty of the practice. The only difference is that Democrats and Obama in particular have taken it to a gross new level.

Instead, most conservatives want a government that works better with less waste. Dating back to at least 1964, implicit in the Democratic agenda is that local and parochial interests should be subordinated to the national interest. Although never totally subordinated, it did come to the center of politics and the result to breaking gridlock that inevitably occurs was not through compromise as the Constitution dictates, but through legislative deal making: “I’ll support your crop subsidy if you support my beach replenishment project.” An unpaved road in Mississippi becomes a national problem when you have a national Transportation Department. Urban blight in Detroit or Newark becomes a national problem when you have a HUD. Low SAT scores in Alabama become a national problem when you have a Department of Education.

In 1995, the GAO discovered that over $350 billion was wasted on duplicate programs yet that same state of affairs exists today. In 1879, the US Geological Service was created to map the nation’s natural resources. Some 133 years and over 300,000 maps later, I think they have done their job. Today, they are tasked with establishing stations to monitor global warming despite those maintained by private interests, academia and numerous thermometers on back porches throughout America. We have 14 programs for foreign study abroad, 17 offender re-entry programs run by five different agencies, over 20 programs to identify and eradicate invasive plant and animal species and nine programs spending over $300 million annually on biofuels. It is estimated that the federal bureaucracy spends over $400 million every year producing reports, studies, files and forms. The GAO reports we spend over $123 billion annually on programs with no effect on the targeted populations. And the Defense Department is perhaps the poster child of government waste and abuse.

Citing these facts and taking action are two different things. Once the bureaucracy is formed, it is almost impossible to get rid of it. But, three facts remain. First, a more efficient, less wasteful government will require political fortitude, someone willing to to make the tough decisions and follow through on those decisions to the end. Whether Romney is that person, we really do not know. We can surmise all we want from his business record, or leader of the Salt Lake Olympic Committee, or Governor of Massachusetts. But we do know one thing: Barack Obama is not that person and that is something we can all rally around. Second, there will undoubtedly be hardships along the way that will be exploited by liberals and their allies in the media. But it should also be remembered that liberals will be the flies in the ointment regardless. They are an innocuous (and obnoxious) minority of the electorate. Third, a more efficient and less wasteful federal government will necessarily result in a smaller government. Hence, it is incumbent upon conservatives to hold Romney’s feet to the fire. I also venture that this basic philosophy will appeal to the equally important moderate/independent voters.

A winning strategy will be to highlight the shortcomings of the Obama Administration in this area. Despite his assertions of cleaning up waste and abuse in the federal bureaucracy on the one hand, he expands the bureaucratic state on the other hand through nonsense like a run-amok EPA, Obamacare and Frank-Dodd, among other acts. Despite protestations to the contrary, we have the examples of the GSA scandal, Fast and Furious, and the Secret Service scandal occurring on his watch. They are merely symptoms of a broader problem with government in general. No one said it better than Mitch Daniels, the outgoing Governor or Indiana who turned a budget deficit into a surplus while lowering taxes and decreasing the state bureaucracy: “You’d be surprised how much people really don’t need the government.”
