Ralph Benko- Time’s Man of the year? Maybe after the People Powered Congress changes America forever

  Ralph Benko Blasts the Political Class

If you haven’t read the hottest political article to sweep across the web since Sarah Palin was announced Mccain’s VP, here is Ralph Benko’s game-changing article about how to neutralize the beltway world of our spoiled, fat cat politicians

To get special interests out of politics, get Congress out of Washington


By Ralph Benko

We send our elected representatives far from home to conduct the people’s business. We send them to Washington, D.C., where they form what our flyboys (and flygirls) call “a
target-rich environment” for the lobbyists and for the political party
leadership.

We send them far from us … to conduct our business. There was no other way in
the 18th and 19th centuries and most of the 20th. In the 21st century, of
course, this is absurd.

1-15-10 Tea Party Movement- a report- how DC bluebloods may destroy the tea party movement

1-15-10 Tea Party Movement- a report

The strongest resistance to Barack Obama’s sweeping plans of fundamentally changing America has been the growing Tea Party Movement.  Is the attempt by elitists and established blue bloods, such as Patrick Ruffini and Dan Quayle, destroying the tea party movement?  Ralph Benko has exposed Patrick Ruffini’s designs for the tea party movement, to co-opt their energy, and then herd them into the GOP order.  Dan Quayle echoed that theme on Neil Cavuto this week.

The divide growing between grassroots activists and their wanna-be top-down DC handlers is becoming increasingly more important.  Here is the state of the tea party movement on the blogosphere:

1-15-10- Patrick Ruffini slams tea party movement- parcbench

The Apostasy: “Drop Dead, Tea Partiers!”









Ruffini’s contribution to this debate centered on why movement activists should — must — be reduced to minion status after victory.  Ruffini weighed in with A Belated Response to Micah Sifry.

Ruffini:

Indeed, it’s easy to dismiss Sifry’s ideal of autonomous, almost leaderless political movements as essentially incompatible with the work of government.

Ruffini:

The job of a campaign is not to transform the ethos of governance.

Ruffini:

Now, what happens when the campaign goes away? What happens when the enthusiasm inevitably ebbs and the hard work of governing begins? The immediate benefits of a bottom-up strategy become less clear. You revert to traditional instincts, where powerful obstacles stand in the way of getting things done — even amongst your base, and the wielding of massive political machinery cannot be left to amateurs.

“Cannot be left to amateurs?”  This is pretty conventional Political Insider thinking, as it happens. What makes Ruffini’s apostasy shocking is his departure from a short but notable career of cheerleading for a bottom up, open-source ethos in politics.  We now see that to Ruffini “bottom up” is a great, one could say Machiavellian, campaign tactic,  “… not simply a noble, unconventional, damn-the-consequences move. It’s pretty darn profitable, generating more signups, more activity, and more money to feed the top-down

If anything, it marks the Tea Party’s move to the center of the conservative movement. Last year, the first round of Tea Parties were held at the same time as CPAC — the D.C. Tea Party was held a few miles down the road.

‘The Tea Party Movement Is About To Be Hijacked’: Activists Slam

4 days ago by Zachary Roth
In the latest sign of rancor in Tea Party circles, a convention aiming to bring together conservative activists from across the country is being attacked by some Tea Partiers as inauthentic, too expensive, and too tied to the GOP.
