Knowing some of my Twitter friends have brand new crock pots they received for Christmas I would be remiss to not post my absolute favorite crock pot recipe.  I know this strays from my typical political rant, but diversity is good.

1 Chuck roast
1 packet of Onion soup seasoning (I typically use Lipton)
1 can of Cream of Mushroom soup
1-2 cans green beans
peeled new potatoes (as many as desired)

Place chuck roast, can of mushroom soup and packet of onion soup seasoning in a crock pot. Mix together.  Put crock pot on low for 6-8 hours.
About an hour before dinnertime put the green beans and potatoes in the crock pot.

Thats it.  It is really that simple. My 9 and 6 year olds love it and thats a win for any mom.  Simple and good.  Enjoy my fellow Tweeps and moms!

Look at the items listed below. After viewing the list would you vote for the person who has supported these items:

-Voted for the Department of Education
-Supports big government solution for climate change.
-Believes SEIU's Andy Stern is a visionary leader
-The liberal establishment Time Magazine names this candidate their
“Man of the Year”

Who is this candidate?  If this were a Democrat would you vote for him?  As a Tea Party activist my answer is a resounding NO!!!!!

When I tell you who this is do you back peddle and say well you don't understand!  He is a great debater!  Indeed, I am sure you have it figured out by now.  And it looks like you've been Newtered.

The debate about whether we should vote for Newt Gingrich for President has been a very difficult one for many of us.  Most everyone I speak to says they would like nothing better than to see Newt debate Obama, but they do not necessarily see anything beyond that once he would get into office. 

It wasn't clear in my mind until last night while watching Glenn Beck.  Glenn has clearly upset a lot of people lately with his recent thoughts on Newt Gingrich and pointing out that if the Tea Party supports Gingrich they have clearly forgotten what they have been fighting against for the past three years among other things.

I've been watching the backlash from the right, which the leftists are most definitely salivating over.  Leftists could have never imagined such cannibalism in their wildest dreams.  Nonetheless, after much angst and soul searching I know I cannot in any way, shape or form vote for Newt Gingrich.  It all comes down to principles for me.  

I have fought too hard and for too long to push the button for Newt.  It goes against everything fiber of my being and every issue I have fought for and against since 2009.  Do you really think Newt would be able to defend himself during a debate?  I really do not think he can.  How do you defend the indefensible? Would it not be in our best interest to have a candidate who doesn't have to explain away every vote, every comment and every flip flop in their life?  Think about it. You may not agree with me.  That's fine.  I just know I cannot hand the wheel over to progressive light who will continue us down the same tracks we're travelling right now but at a slower pace.
