more media bullshit...White and wealthy :roll:
Go to the Tea Party site and read
Why don't you refute the polls instead of just slamming it as bullshit?
Besides, there's several so called "Tea Party" groups - which one are you talking about?
have you been to any Tea Party site and read what they are trying to do?
Which party are you talking about?

I'm asking you if you think the polls, which were conducted by professional pollsters, identifying the demographics of the so called "tea party", are so biased, why don't you refute the findings instead of simply branding it as "bullshit"?
I don't know why this is even a question. They are going to vote Republican. Each and every one of them. Sorry, they may come out and say they have issues with both parties, but when it comes down to it in November they are voting Republican. They may be anti-incumbent, but their replacement candidate will be another Republican. They sure are not going to support any Democrat.
Starfall is correct. The Tea Party is virtually indistinguishable from the Republican Party. And that's fine. Go vote Republican if you want! I just wish they would admit it that's all.
It is funny though, the way they ignore the Patriot Act in all of their government intrusion rhetoric.
The term "teabagger", while unintendedly hilarious, is a self inflicted wound:
Now, as to how the so called Tea Party movement will vote - this group is fundamentally indistinguishable from the Republican base. When push comes to shove, they will decidedly support the right wing fringe in DC - the same ones that gave us Sarah Palin, Jim DeMint, Michele Bachmann, and Joe Wilson. And given the current Republican party's push to purge "moderates" (see Charlie Crist) and "heretics" (see Ron Paul) from their ranks, I don't see how the so called Tea Party will support any other candidates. Plus, their biggest supporters are part of the same gang of right wing financiers that supported Republican candidates and causes.
Furthermore, while Ron Paul is often credited as the father of the modern Tea Party movement, these are not even the same people that supported Ron Paul back in 2006 - else why would Paul rate so low with them?
And speaking of Paul, if he's such a revered figure among the insurgent right,why is he facing challengers from the tea party ranks? Is it because he's been critical of the right wing fringe in the GOP?

I’m asking which one are you referring to on this post or are you just generalizing?
I am with the First Coast Tea Party. Every town organizes their own.

I'm taking the results presented from the poll I linked to that show that this is a very male, very white, very wealthy, very conservative, very Republican, very old, group - which is no different from the Republican base:
So when you say "go to the Tea Party site and read" you have no idea which site to direct me to?

That's because you are more like a real independent.
But the Tea Party, in general... that is basically the militant wing of the Republican Party... sort of the way 'MoveOn.org' is a wing of the Democratic party (because, seriously, can you ever imagine seeing anyone in MoveOn.org ever voting for a Republican?). The Tea Party is a Republican off-shoot that will never vote for or support a Third Party candidate or a Democrat.
