Amazing feat, isn't it.
Yes, so that says something about the rest of the world, right?

4. Cut federal spending by one third across the board and amend the Constitution to require a balanced budget during peace time.

5. End all trade agreements that put us on the losing end of the deal.

6. Require Congress to provide proof it has factual Constitutional authority to pass the laws they do.

7. Begin systematically investigating all recipients of government assistance for fraudulent claims, screen for illegal drug use and verify citizenship.

8. Seal the borders using the military and deport all illegal aliens.

9. Place a bounty on the head of every illegal alien payable by INS to bounty hunters who arrest them and turn them in.

10. Require the national intelligence services to maintain a tactical presence in every nation where Islamic terrorists are suspected to operate.

11. Continue to pursue Islamic extremists proactively.

12. Require food stamp recipients to purchase American made generic and store brands with high-line steaks, lobster, crab legs or anything else costing more than $7.00/lb off the menu.

13. Since energy dependency is a matter of national security, create a new DOD Manhattan Project to find ways to get the weight out of vehicles and pursue other means of increasing US vehicle mileage.

Good list, and I would add:

14. Close all foreign military bases

15. Cut military spending by 40%

16. Withdraw from all foreign wars.

17. Eliminate ATF

18. Cut DEA by 80%

19. Cut FEMA by 90%

20. Legalize all drugs

21. Legalize prostitution

22. Legalize gambling

23. Void all laws that tell us what we cannot eat, drink or smoke.


By this time we would have our government cut down to an effective size and it could focus on preserving an environment of equal opportunity.

Another devastating poll for obama and the dems, as he continues to drag his party down.

Btw, 54% say the Tea Party movement has been a good thing, despite the lies and smears from the Left and MSM.

Just as obama's strategy of blaming Bush has failed miserably, so has the attacks on the TP.
I'll bet a MoveOn.org poll would say that 72% of LV want the President back..... And I'd give that poll about as much credence as this, "Tea Party" poll.....

There seems to be some kind of connection between lefties and comedians. Heck, they even vote them in to office! Something about that "dude" mentality leaves me feeling less secure.

Did you click the link to the poll?

"Presentation of Tea party Results"

It was done by someone who's written a book, "Mad as Hell: How the TP is findamentally remaking our two-party system"

I clicked through the whole 69 pages and didn't find a breakdown of the 1000 respondents.

It's not a Tea Party poll, whatever that is.

Doug Shoen is a democrat pollster. He did not just poll TP members.

If he did, you would have to ask why some don't think the movement has been good for the country.

Seemed to work for Reagan.
