It's funny that you say this, because there is a good number of Democrats and independents that are tea partiers (or as some wise ass put it, "tea baggers") Contrare to popular belief, this movement transcends party lines, and people on both sides of the isle are running scared.
No, just...no. Try learning something about the movement before you spew this propaganda that has been spoon fed to you by the left wing media. Here are a few clues, Sarah Palin is not a leader of the tea party movement by any means, not even self appointed, her ideals fall closely withing the range of the tea partiers and as such, she makes a great candidate for giving speeches, because like it or not, she knows how to get a crowd going. the tea party started before Ron Paul became mainstream, and originally has nothing to do with him. The movement started BEFORE Obama was elected, around the time George bush authorized the first set of bail outs. and really took off when Obama took the bail outs to a whole new level of insanity. The tea party movement is NOT a political party movement, it does not adhere to any party, and as such, the overall views of the tea partiers will differ from that of any party.
@ Ninjaguydan did it ever occur to you that the other polls you listed may be left leaning? Or is that unconceivable despite the fact that Rassmusan polls have proven themselves to be the most accurate time and time again. |
Well I apologize for generalizing your tea party so much. There is a little bit of bias on my side due to me being a libertarian and not liking those people which I think are just a bunch of imitators. Main point I'm trying to push out is this is politics. Principles and ideas are nice when it comes to these things, but it's never just about that. Never that black and white. Like every other movement, they want something and they are playing politics to get it.
