Ashley Stinnett - Ashley Courtland Stinnett has been labeled as America’s “up and coming” voice of conservatism. Born and raised in West Virginia, Ashley grew up in theatre and the arts. While attending Marshall University, Ashley focused his attention on acting and modeling, landing various jobs on the East Coast.

Inane blather ... ✔

Since April of last year, mainstream media outlets have portrayed the “Tea Party” movement as nothing more than a fringe element of so-called disenfranchised white voters. Of course, the majority of Americans realize this false label is nothing more than unfounded vitriol aimed at rallying an otherwise regressive liberal voting bloc.

Paul’s primary victory not only proved that establishment Republicans should be careful, but that grassroots campaigns can still work in the day and age of 24 hour news cycles coupled with corrupt liberal news bias.

The kind of political activism that carried Paul to victory is the nucleus of the Tea Party, which the mainstream media fails to recognize.

However, credit has to be given to Paul and his internal network which centered heavily around online fundraising, get-out-the-vote effort and an energized populous [sic] angered at the idea that the federal government has become too over-reaching in its total control of individual lives.

Predictably, some analysts will argue the Grayson campaign imploded down the final stretch, failing to ignore the strength of Paul’s staff and ground attack.

Lives in a clichéd fantasy world ... ✔

In the interim, established candidates across America are feeling a strain like never before, because this is a different kind of election cycle this year.

2010 is a year in which the average voter will turn on the most recognizable name on the ballot, not because it is a new-found fad, but because it is their right.

And, over the next few weeks, Paul will become a national symbol for the Tea Party movement much like his father was a reflection of anti-establishment during the 2008 presidential election-cycle.

This newfound excitement, along with a deeply rooted distaste for incumbency, could be just enough to turn the usual suspects in Washington upside down.

IT COULD HAPPEN!

Editor's Note: Tucker Carlson. Really. We doubt anything this lame would have been printed in the student newspaper at whatever boarding school Mumsy shipped you to. Bad enough as is, but to publish this fact-free (Well, we'll grant that the Medicare-profiting doctor did win the election.) puff-piece following candidate Paul's recent statements is almost criminal in the embarrassment it'll cause poor Ashley.
