The tea party is doomed. Stupid has burned itself out.

we can HOPE can't we anon? It's up to the voters and whether or not they are stupid.

Les Carpenter said...

Am I to believe that any voter, regardless of educational background {they might be PHD's, who supports the Tea Party or disagrees with the liberal agenda is "stupid?"

Just curious to hear your response.

Here you go RN:

"Tea Party supporters are likely to be older, white and male. Forty percent are age 55 and over, compared with 32 percent of all poll respondents; just 22 percent are under the age of 35, 79 percent are white, and 61 percent are men. Many are also Christian fundamentalists, with 44 percent identifying themselves as “born-again,” compared with 33 percent of all respondents."

So, basically the Tea Party is a bunch of old white christian coalition members.....

Sarah Palin is a popular Tea Party leader. According to polls, Palin's most loyal followers are people with a high school education or less than high school [you know, like her daughter, son, and her grandson's father].

I believe the question has been duly answered.

anyone who votes against their own best interests is STUPID, NOT paying attention, and for those who vote for teabagger candidates because of religion...well that's the STUPID-ist of all!! Alot of todays "Christians" are not Christian AT ALL!

Today, CNN commentator Fareed Zakaria said: "The United States has lost the trust of the world [my bold].

Today, the Dow went down 512 points. 512 points! Millions of American have just lost a chunk of their 401Ks, IRAs, savings and retirement accounts.

This is what happens when a lunatic fringe acts like hooligans and holds the country hostage ... and this is what happens when a major political party licks its chops in partisan opportunism just to GRAB POWER!

NO! HELL NO! This is not an example of "well, both parties do it.' The Republicans did it, and what they did is unprecedented in the history of this country.

And if RN had any common sense and common decency, he would stay away from this forum for awhile. I am no mood to put up with his fucking BULLSHIT !!!
