Majority? No. Only LOUD. Way too loud. Simply because you're the loudest voices doesn't make you a majority.

Hope everyone does show up at the next election. Bad neighbors vote too.

As a quick aside, it's funny we both have the same status!

But conservatives are so cute when they try to act like activists!

They have bought hook, line and sinker the corporate line. I am sure they would just love to go back to the days of child labor, 80 hour workweeks, no workman's compensation and no unemployment insurance.

"Americans" are feeling irrelevant. Have you not noticed that your representative do not listen to you anymore?

Wrong. As ususal. I think you underestimate. The majority clearly is opposed to the agenda of this administration.

I believe that we absolutely are the majority. Just look at the millions that have turned out at these events. The millions that went to Washington, D.C., said to be the largest group ever.

But, stick you head in the sand. If it makes you happier to ignore what's happening in this country.

It might be more correct to say "less than 70%".

What does this say for them, in ignoring a good portion of the Country.

There's nothing wrong with the tea partiers exercising their right to protest the government.

Reality check: I would estimate that 20% of the population opposes the Obama Administration no matter what it does, 20% supports the Obama Admin no matter what it does.

The remaining 60% falls into one of two categories: 1. supports/opposes issues selectively-depends on issue. or 2. doesn't know/doesn't care.

Exactly i don't know what their problem is. it seems to go like if you don't agree with me you are wrong and we will call you names like teabaggers. pretty empty argument.
