Another glaring example of poor reading comprehension by teabaggers. Article cited states that "conservatives" outnumber liberals. Yet the title says tea party.
There are far more non TP conservs than TP,and far more moderates than TP. TP is a small factor in a national race, powerless w/o building coalitions with both non TP conservs plus moderates.
90 percent of them will vote for the republican nominee. that is a not a bipartisan group.
the tea party used to be bipartisan, until it was hijacked by palin, beck and those other idiots.
the independents left the tea party and the republicans that stayed in it move to the far right with the tea party.
so you have 2 factions in the republican party. the mainstream republican who is actually less likely to vote for the republican nominee, i believe obama has 10-15 percent of there support from the last poll i saw.
then you have the far right tea party, who will vote for whoever the GOP nominee is, over 90 percent of the time. i believe 3 percent in the poll i saw said they support obama.
the tea party is equivalent to the black support of obama, and will cancel each other out.
the election breaks down to this simple question. who do the independents like me, who are not chained to one party, vote for?
Well .. They seemed to do alright last November
(OH .. You forgot?)
One other thing .. before you run back to the basement .. There Was NO Tea Party when Bush was in office!
You seem to forget the recalls of Republicans in Wisconsin and the approval ratings of Scott Walker. Have you checked Rick Scott of Fla. approval rating lately?
As for the Tea Party, the question is...where was their grassroots movement when Bush was in office and destroying the economy? Makes their creibility and intentions a bit suspect.
The Tea Party has been taken over by Neocons and if there was any grassroots organic roots to it, it has long been quashed. Problem is that the base is either to stupid or to brainwashed to see it.
American Public Sours On Tea Party Movement
Quote:
Assuming these numbers are accurate, and assuming they hold up, the GOP could have a problem. The Tea Party Movement remains a strong voice inside the GOP and is likely to play a pivotal role in deciding who the 2012 nominee ends up being. If that candidate ends up being associated in the public mind with a movement that the public is skeptical of, then convincing those voters, most of whom are likely independents, to vote GOP could prove difficult.
the tea party didnt care because george bush had an R next to his name.
as I stated in my prior post, the tea party is even more of a slave to the republicans then the mainstream republicans are.
over 90 percent of them will vote for the republican nominee, in a party that says its bi partisan and will support any candidate who believes in "freedom and small government"
freedom and small government, yet they run to rick perry. thats what i call chained to the plantation.
Someone can call themselves a conservative, but I wonder if those same people support getting rid of Social Security, Medicare, and public schools? If they don't want to get rid of them, then they are not actual conservatives.
What were current Tea Party "members" doing while Bush was in office? They were water carriers then as they are now. Since 2006 many independent people have been warning them about the impeding economic problems. Back then when Bush wanted to give more tax cuts while increasing spending to astronomic proportions. They did not say a single thing about the debt ceiling being raised multiple times under him. They are hypocritical, slow witted sheep as their leftist brethren. They should stick with simpler issues like gun rights and call it a day.
Who Cares what they were doing! Something needs to be done NOW and SOON!
The article is the citation. See post number 2. According to this article, tea party support, as of August, has gone down since April. The debt ceiling deal was "resolved" at the beginning of August, so that only stands to reason that part of the reason for their decline in support was due to the debt ceiling deal.
"Stands to reason"?
The pirates cause GW argument?
