The Tea Party will continue to lose popularity as the racist fringe is exposed...ie: Andrew Breitbart for one.

Of course the movement is unpopular. Its primary issue is deficit spending. We have stolen $1.7 trillion this year. We do that on a regular basis because the people we steal the money from are too young to stop us.

Why would the people doing the stealing like the people trying to stop them?

They may have a 47% unfavorable rate right now, but that means they have a 53% favorable. Nice try.

In U.S., Negative Views of the Tea Party Rise to New High
They better be careful; soon their disapproval rating will be as high as Obama's which sits at 49%.

The facts are the tea party is nothing but a bunch of ultra-right wing astroturf extremists bought and owned by the Koch brothers. The american people see what a sham they are with their plunging approval and laughable turn outs at recent rallies reflect that.

There will be racists in every crowd. Heck, Obama's minister was one of those in his crowd. If you think seedy elements will kill a movement, just look to the one you espouse and judge for yourself. The Tea Party may have it's share of wacko's, but the message is a good one and the timing for it is now.

What racist fringe?

Examples, because Hillary was asking for Obama's birth certificate along with Bill since 2007.
Byrd of the Senate was a grand wizard of the KKK and a Democrat, not a Republican or Tea Party person.
Murtha who died called all our military murderers.
Obama goes to churches where they call people names and curse America.

People with eyes and ears can see the source of most racism and it's in the Democrat party along with class-ism.

Actually only 33% have a favorable view, 20% have no opinion....

Not true, plenty are Democrats trying to get their people in the local races into the Democrat party.

They are everywhere and growing.

Who wouldn't want fiscal responsibility and a balanced budget?
