Boston Tea Party on The Common

[justplugit]

New York Times Poll finds Tea Party members are wealthier, more well educated than the general public ,tend to be Republican, white ,male and married, and their strong opposition to the Obama Administration is more rooted in their political ideology than anxiety about their personal economic situation.

They have 3 main concerns:

The recent HC overhaul.
Government spending.
A feeling that their opinions are not represented in Washington.

So much for Pelosie and the "Astro Turfs".

he was either alligned with other conservatives who vociferously opposed that large expansion of government ...

or he was alligned with other liberals who were only oppose to it because it wasn't a large enough expansion of govermnment in their opinion...and who could not stomach the thought of a Republican president signing into law a huge government entitlement....that's democrap pandering territory exclusively

you constantly roll this out Spence and it's really weak....:

I guess the question to ponder is:

Is the Tea party doing more damage to the Republican party or is the Democratic party doing more damage to itself?

I think it's the latter. This edition of Democratic leadership is a joke.
Say what you will about the Clinton years, but the economy was strong and taxes weren't going up all around us.

Obama isn't anymore respected or liked around the world than Bush was.
