New Poll shows Tea party more popular than Republican Party

An unfair comparison. I'd expect that of an american liberal. The contempt shown these american people, mostly hardworking middle class folk, is just why the democratic party is facing such horrible numbers just a few short months after completely dominating the white house and congress.




It's also an idiotic comparison. What kind of self serving liberal apparachik would compare a movement based on freedom from government oppression, with that of being against civil rights?


If you think about it, its rather racist of Joe1911 to make such a comparison. :shrug:
 
I have a far better idea for all of us Americans, it's time for all of us to stop being Republicans and Democrat and start being Americans that is what we are.

When we(Americans) decide to put away are stupid Party Loyalty then we will start become what are founding father so wished the great Country to be.

I challenge everyone on here to go and register as an American and don't let the Election Folks tell you can't. My voter card say Party American.

It's starts with an idea and goes forth after that
i'm not a party loyalist. i just don't believe republicans stand for anything except furthering their own agendas, which don't include much of anything to benefit the american people.

and your signature belies your opposition to party loyalty.

Denigrating one's foes, in this case middle americans, is just about all an american liberal/leftist can do. Their policies are completely at odds with us. We are now the enemy. I would have expected no less from a present member of the current democratic party.
 
Newsbreak.... the so-called southern strategy did not come about until WELL AFTER enactment of the civil rights act of 1964.

Well yeah, that's why they came up with it. :doh

Unlike members of the democratic party? You must be joking. Members of both parties are representing their constituents. We are a divided nation. The problem has less to do with the parties and more to do with the american people, or rather which american people. I'm afraid the democratic party policy of [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_politics"]identity politics [/ame] along with the whole concept of multi-culturalism has worked rather too well.
 
but... but... Glenn Beck said the teabaggers were non-partisan?

Are you saying he's full of it?

Okay... this is what I'm getting from your "brilliant" post:
(1) You're against those who are against race mixing (any reasonable person would agree these days).
(2) You're against anyone who is against communism and socialism (WTF... no surprise after reading your leftist views)

So, what is it about freedom that you hate?

Face it, the teapartiers are mostly uniformed angry white southern voters.

I'm not calling the current crop racist, the picture simply portrays the same mindset of these unprogressives.

We could go down a long list of embarrasing issues that conservatives have been on the wrong side of.

There is only one person here embarrrasing themselves. :shrug:




By your logic, left wingers were against the civil rights movement, YOu hate black people. :shrug:

Short history lesson:

Yes, there were many racist democrats in the south.
LBJ passed the civil rights act and they joined the GOP.

Present day, I believe there are extremely few racists in any party, period.

Soooo, showing pictures of our past history should serve as reminders, even if embarrassing.
 
My point, is your little graphics are idiotic, and speak more to the poster than the intended target.

Thank you for your opinion. Anything historically factual you'd care to challenge?
 
you comparing teaparties to liberals who were against the civil rights movement for one.

Um, no.

The graphic compares angry white southern protestors of the past and present.

Care to debate the Southern Strategy, Dixiecrats, George Wallace, maybe Jim Crow laws?

Yet wasn't a black man who was a tea party member beaten by union thugs?

Your pemise is a lie. YOu are equating racism to teaparty movement where none is.

Not really, given your penchant at the absurd, it would at least for me, be a waste of time. :shrug:
 
And yet Charles Manson is more popular than the Democrat controlled congress at the moment.
 
New poll shows 'Tea Party' more popular than Republican Party - Yahoo! News

"Okay, suppose the Tea Party Movement organized itself as a political party. When thinking about the next election for Congress, would you vote for the Republican candidate from your district, the Democratic candidate from your district, or the Tea Party candidate from your district?"

The response of all those who were polled was Democratic 36%, Tea Party 23% and Republican 18%.


Long live the tea party movement. We should all encourage their efforts.


I will vote for who ever closely matched my views. I support bringing down the two party monopoly. But If I am satisfied with the job the Incumbent politician is doing then I will vote for that politician regardless of party.
 
Newsbreak.... the so-called southern strategy did not come about until WELL AFTER enactment of the civil rights act of 1964.

A little use (and study) of history would do you some good.

This is not entirely true. The Southern Strategy is just a name given to a vote gathering strategy from Southern whites. It was first used by Southern Democrats in the 40s and 50s when campaigning against desegregation and for the continuance of Jim Crow laws. It was picked up by Republicans in the 60s and given an official name by Nixon later on. You're both wrong.
 
Yeah....it worked so well for you in d-23 :doh


Democrats would have won regardless if a republican won or a democrat won. At least however the people actually had real choices when the conservative candidate ran instead of just liberal democrat and liberal who is a closet democrat.
 
Um, no.

....the teaparty protesters aren't all southerners tho.....;)

Not all those who opposed desegregation in the 50s-60s were Democrats either. ;)
