The Newsvine? Really? The "High Times" agrees with your assessment too. As you said, we shall see.
LOL! We will see at the next election. But, I'm sure when they win even more seats, you will spin it that their destruction has been sealed and that they are hated more than the devil now.
Tea party is not about that stuff. Thats just a front. Nothing but neo-cons and bush lovers. They stated their real goal. Obama Obama Obama
Quite possibly the most ignorant and purposely uninformed post of the year based on the fact that you've never been to a Tea Party meeting, event, group nor have you ever really spoken to anyone in the Tea Party.
EVERYTHING you say comes from a position of extreme and uncontrolled IGNORANCE while you seem to be quite happy perpetrating.
Tea Party is growing in both political parties.
Stop the out of control spending.
Lower and pay off national debt.
Shrink government.
Lower expectations that government is the sollution for your life.
Be more fiscally conservative with our money.
Not outrageous except to people dependent on the dole and politicians wanting power.
Exactly, if you don't agree with this you're a blind moron.
According to the TP. They're the ones who keep slapping the RINO label on anyone on the right who disagrees with them. So logically, they think they're the only "true" Republicans. I do understand that there's a difference between conservatives/Republicans and Tea Partiers. Conservatives are the sane ones--or saner, at least.
I'm in the Tea Party, I've been in since 2007 and I've never been a Republican nor have I ever done anything to support them. None of the Tea Party members I know support Republicans nor did they vote for Bush. The last thing I want to be is a true Republican. I'm a conservative, plain and simple.
Heres a little something for you.

The only poll that means anything is the 2012 POTUS election, nobody is wasting their time on anything until then.
And yet, according to the article linked in the OP...."liberal" still leaves the worst taste in the mouth of the American public. Seems the OP missed that part.
Quote:
The much maligned label “liberal,” which prompted most liberals to begin calling themselves progressives, still struggles along in last place. Twenty-one percent think calling a candidate a liberal is positive, while 38 percent view it as a negative. That compares to a low of 17 percent and 44 percent respectively in January of this year.

I agree with you. However, tea party members that believe as you state need to find a good way to seperate themselves from the superstitious branch that receives so much publicity.

I believe you, but then why is every single member of the House tea party caucus aligned with the GOP? How come so many in 2010 voted for the GOP and not the libertarians? Because to the outside world it sure looks like the Tea Party is a wing of the GOP.
On the surface tea partiers don't seem all that bad.
A bunch of old people who are against raising taxes (for the rich), support cutting programs (for the poor) and support the Constitution (only 2nd Amendment). Who an argue with that?
Until you see the signs and hear the rhetoric. I'm all for lower taxes and balancing a budget, I'm not ok with comparing Obama's family to apes and telling him to go back to Africa. Not cool at all.
