Not talking about those. I am talking about these mentally ill people who grovel at obama's feet like his is some messiah, and refuse to ask for his records which has been done and is still done to EVERY politician. People wanted a "black" president so bad they didn't care if he was legal or not.
About time these cockroaches were seen for the danger they pose to a calm civll society.
Ever wonder why the Left is so fixated on the Tea Party people? "Tea Party" is merely a concept that crystalizes people's anxiety about the size and reach of government. It harkens back to the original Boston Tea Party whose organizers were similarly perturbed by the scope of King George's government. Now I can see how the modern tea party might challenge the ideas and beliefs of those who see no problem with big government and even want to expand existing government. But the Left view the Tea Parties as more than a challenge to their ideas. They view them as a threat. I have to assume that to be true from the visceral reaction that the Tea Parties have evoked.
So what is the threat? Certainly it's not a physical threat. Everywhere and every time the tea parties have gathered they have been peaceful. I suppose one could say the tea parties threaten the Left's current grip on power. But that's politics as usual. The Left knows how to deal with political threats by raising money and mobilizing voters. No, something more is at work here.
The Tea Party threatens the Left in the same way that Sarah Palin threatens the Left's supposed monopoly on women power and black conservatives threaten their hold on the black community. For proof of that compare the visceral hatred of Sarah Palin and Justice Clarence Thomas to the irrational hatred of the Tea Party. The Left thinks it has a monopoly on the right and ability to stand against the establishment. To the extent that they are the establishment (and they are--in Congress and the Presidency, in the mainstream media, in the arts, in academia and, increasingly, in the boardrooms) they resent being put on a par with the hated establishment of LBJ and Nixon that they grew up opposing. Having succeeded in displacing the hated establishment they now feel entitled rule over us without challenge. After all they were the Children's Crusade, the generation that eschewed war in favor of universal love and peace, the Aquarians--superior beings--intellectually, morally-- never before seen on planet earth. What right do the Tea Party people have to challenge their vision of the perfect society? And the Tea Party people go around scratching their heads asking what awful thing they have done to merit such venomous hatred.

I love having the Tea Party around. I just love when they talk.
I also credit the economy, the economy is recovering. The jobs are returning, the recovery, low and behold, is working after all. It’s hard to muster up anger when you’ve got a job to go to.
Ok now.
Now, one of the problems with this poll is once again, the pollster has to weigh the party affiliation towards the democrats to get the "answer" they are looking for.
An 11 point party Id gap between dems and reps is defective, to say the least.
